Set Sail Inside

Visiting a nautically decorated house used to mean enduring wall-mounted marlins and knotty pine everything. Today it can include basking in a laid-back blue-and-white-hued setting or examining a few beachcombing finds under cloches—without drowning in tropes.Whether the setting is mod California bungalow or weather-beaten beach house, these talents incorporate marine influences with a sparing eye.

LIVING ROOMThe current trend embraces traditional nautical elements and incorporates them into the home in unexpected ways. Having anchors, wheels, circular windows are popular ways of introducing nautical style in your living.

NAUTICAL STRIPES The simple way to

introduce nautical theme is a striped pattern in classy

blue and white shades.. Choose striped textiles for a

window treatment, a rug, wall covering or in your furniture

accessories It can be used both for furniture tapestry, window treatments as well

as for wallpaper print. In fact, a striped pattern is

enough for creating a truly nautical feel, so you can restrict yourself to it. In

case you want to bring a pop of color, simply add

red-colored elements like pillows, rug or table lamps.

StarfishA few starfishes can totally revamp a décor of a room. If it is a nursery, simply hang them to the walls for a simple and chic feel. If it is a bathroom, you may put them on the counter. Starfish is a perfect complement to the nautical-styled interior.

MapsInstead of the traditional artwork, draw your attention to the framed sailing maps. Moreover, try finding vintage maps that are sold in thrift stores for a more striking effect.

Nautical Stars

Nautical stars have a stylish and in-ornate appearance, so they are easy to incorporate in any home interior. Moreover, it is hard to go overboard with them. A transfer picture, which surrounds a lighting fixture, or used as a separate decorative element on the wall or ceiling – these are most widespread ways of utilizing nautical stars. Try to keep them subdued and opt for classy black and white hues.

Focal PointUsing an abundance of nautical elements like stripes, anchor, sailboat, starfishes and helm in your room décor is not a way to go. So it is preferable to stick to certain elements instead of using all at the same time. Consider bed sheets with ship or anchor prints. These small elements are enough for creating that nautical vibe in a fresh and light way.

Nautical stars, stripes, starfish, ships and anchors all featured in one room would not give it the same stylish appearance as a room designed around a single element.

A ship’s anchor, telescope or big steering wheel can be used as a focal point. Accessories should all be made from natural materials. Items associated with seafaring can include sea chests, rowboat oars, model ships, tide-worn stones and big old ropes.

Color Use in Nautical Interior DesignWhen considering the use of color, think of shades that most represent the ocean and the natural tones that can be found on a sandy shore. White should be used to highlight all the other colors chosen for a nautical home design. This can be a brilliant white or a more subtle shade that can be combined with a lesser amount of blue, which can be any shade from pale aqua to a dark navy. Other colors should be used less and in combination with natural shades

Natural timber furniture is most suitable for nautical interior design. When timber is used for shelves, tables and chairs in a nautical setting, it can be tinted in shades of brown or beige, whitewashed or painted blue.

Walls can be painted flat white or pale cool blue. Natural wood wall panels also work well with the theme.

Nautical DecorFurniture and fittings can be made from reclaimed wood and natural textiles. No plastic or synthetics should be used. Windows can be draped in light tulle or have striped curtains in shades of blue and white.

Nautical BedroomsA nursery, child’s room or adult’s bedroom will benefit from some aspect of nautical home design. In nautical bedrooms the white painted walls provide a light and airy feel and the ocean theme is continued in the use of printed bed linen and blue blankets. Natural colors feature in bedside furniture and fitted closets, along with items such as natural wicker lampshades, woven rugs and small bedside mats in beige or sandy shades. A bedroom can be made to look like a ship’s cabin with timber floor boards that have been lightly tinted or given a white wash.

LIVING SPACESA family room or open plan space can be made to appear much lighter and more spacious when it makes use of nautical interior design.

Any living space can have a strong nautical identity when it features a marine-blue carpet and has a minimal amount of furniture. The look is complete when the accessories in a living space can also be identified as related or belonging to the ocean.

 

KitchensIt is not difficult to apply nautical interior design to any Kitchen. This is mainly achieved through the use of color on walls, floors and in textiles. White paint and shades of blue and white provide a kitchen with a fresh and elegant appearance.

BathroomsBathrooms are particularly suitable for nautical interior design and it is easy to achieve the right look by having bathroom tiles of white or blue, and floor tiles of white, blue or sea green. The nautical theme can be continued around the bathroom walls with representations of ocean life arranged along a border or featured in a mural.
