Are you a fan of the sandy seaside, listening to the
ocean through a shell, smelling the salty fresh air and relaxing under the blue
skies? Well I am and all of those things take me racing back to my childhood and
to the feeling of being home and comfortable.
The nautical look is all about recapturing your memories
and redirecting them into your home décor. So if your home needs a little bit of
a face liftor just some budget sprucing this is the look for you and it is so
easy to achieve too.
Back to nautical
basics
If you want to create a
nautical theme be it in your bedroom, bathroom or even your kitchen, accessories
and attention to detail are major key factors. Always ask yourself what are the
key components?
I automatically think sea shells, white rope, yellow
sand, blue colouring, and of course the classic anchor logo. The great thing
about interior design is that you can find inspiration and ideas anywhere and
everywhere.
Spreading the nautical look
After doing a bit of research (mainly on Pinterest) you
should be more aware of what particular elements and accessories you like when
it comes to the nautical theme.
Now it’s time to decide on
where you want to add your new found theme. The bathroom, living area or the
bedroom tend to be the most popular options for this bright and breezy design.
Make your own nautical
accessory
As soon as you decide on which room you want to
transform the rest becomes child’s play, have fun and by all means experiment
with what you want and like.
Get wallpaper and paint testers, apply colour samples
and make your own accessories. A popular and inexpensive nautical creation is a
shell vase display (pictured below) I mean how simple yet effective is that and
it only costs buttons to create (not actual buttons).
