When the warm weather returns, folks tend to think of one place: the beach. That didn’t slip the minds of designers, who drew endless inspiration from the beach and all that goes with it – from shady umbrellas to coastal awnings in big, bold stripes that scream, “Fun in the sun.” It all conjures visions of a laid-back stroll in the sand, grabbing a bite to eat at a beachside spot adorned in navy and white or tossing a beach ball with friends.
