Features
Marine themes can be seen in modern apartments quite clearly. Anyone entering into such a room will immediately understand the stylistic idea, and all because the design has bright distinctive characteristics.
The interior is made in blue, white and brown cool colors. Blue gamma can have a variety of tones: from blue to turquoise. White color is most often used in its pure form, sometimes beige, dairy, caramel shades are acceptable.
The marine interior is built in contrasting colors. Pastel shades are combined with rich blue, brown, dark green and purple.
Some designers use warm colors to decorate the space in the theme of the underwater world. Elements are performed in red, yellow, cream tones. The interior in the maritime style does not tolerate a complex, complex colors.
Water motifs should not overload the room. It must remain airy. In a small room applies a minimum of parts. For a standard room, one primary color is used, which is complemented by a contrasting shade and a pair of bright details.
Optimal use in the design of the house materials and objects made of natural wood, cork, stone, etc. For children's rooms, you can use hemp, canvas materials, sandstone.
Water motifs are recognizable due to their patterns. Rooms with this design are decorated with striped wallpaper or wallpaper with drawings of anchors, waves, clouds. Sometimes patterns are combined with each other. For a small room is better to choose one basic pattern.
Furniture for the rooms is chosen from solid wood, the seats of the armchairs and sofas are covered with linen, cotton cloth or matting. The decor should be concise. To maintain the theme, use low furniture, reminiscent of the ship.
Sometimes in the design you can find rattan furniture, which helps to recreate the atmosphere of the southern resorts in the apartment.
Items on this subject are often made by hand.
What rooms are suitable for
Any room can be decorated in a nautical style, but the most advantageous look bathrooms or children. Sometimes it is made out of bedrooms and living rooms.
To decorate the room, you need to choose a special color scheme and the right furniture. The interior includes a marine theme: shells, anchors, sandstone. The curtains in the room should be translucent, and tulle - weightless. On a window establish blinds from a tree. They are decorated with shells. On one of the walls glue wallpapers with the image of ships, palm trees or the ocean. The room focuses on the ceiling. It can be not just white and stretch, designers offer ceilings of monochrome blue or white with painted clouds.
We advise you not to overload the interior, applying many colors and solutions at the same time.
Color combinations
To decorate a room, you should follow a blue-white palette, diluting it with natural wood materials. At first glance, this design may seem simple, but it is not. There must be harmony in the room.
From year to year the fashion on shades of blue is changing. Recently, designers have stopped at light, blue shades. The marine interior is classic, which implies the obligatory use of a dark blue color called navy. This shade is deep and fairly calm. Marine design involves the use of this color when designing windows or as upholstery headset. Cushions, carpets look original in this color.
When decorating the walls combine several colors. For example, they glue contrasting striped wallpaper. Glued wall is used as a color spot for accessories. The room for the child should be fun, so it is diluted with colored elements, shells. In such a room make orange or red details. You can create a decoration with your own hands.
Some designers oppose the use of black shades in the design of the house. Black color destroys the airy sea design.
Recently, the interior in a marine style diluted with beige tones. Warm shades: milky, caramel, ecru enrich the interior, make it calm, warm and serene.
In the living room
The apartment should be made in a single style. Rooms should not contradict each other in design. The living room should be decorated in a marine style, if the overall appearance of the apartment is close to Mediterranean standards.
When making a living room, we advise you to consider which side the windows face. For the marine style pick room with a view to the south or west. In such rooms is always bright and sunny. The north side is considered more gloomy, as a result of which the theme of the sea or ocean does not look cheerful.
In sunny rooms, cold colors will sparkle with new colors, giving the room a feeling of lightness and coolness. The use of white and blue tones as basic, properly selected natural furniture and accessories will make the living room original. The decor helps to stylistically complete the image of the room.
Furniture
We advise you to properly furnish the living room. Arrangements must be durable, high-quality and natural, like on a ship. You must consider the size of the living room. Massive furniture, for example, oak or ash is installed in the spacious rooms. To facilitate the appearance of the room, mirrors are hung in it, tables are made of glass. Rattan or bamboo furniture is installed in the small living room.
For guests place low furniture. Also set the rocking chair. Instead of chest of drawers put chests of solid wood. To store books hang massive shelves with wrought iron elements or install an elegant cabinet with doors made of glass. On the shelves place accessories in the form of shells, sandstone or vessels with pebbles.
We advise you to have a minimum of furniture. At the same time it should be natural. It is better to make flooring of such a room from wide natural planks that resemble ship floors.
Wall decoration and lighting
The living room walls are sheathed with clapboard or decorated with caramel-colored decorative plaster. Designers recommend making a bright ceiling in the living room. It can be hung up, pulled up, made multilevel, but it should be light and low as in a ship's cabin. To support the theme of the sea, you must install the lamp in the same style. It can be made in the form of an anchor decorated with shells or a steering wheel.
The living room should be light. At night, the room should be well lit using a large number of LED lamps or multi-level lighting. In addition, the walls can be decorated with sconces or wall lamps decorated with artificial pearls or natural shells. In the reading area, you can install a floor lamp in the form of a deck lamp.
Decor
In the living room you can put the aquarium. At its bottom lay a model of a sunken ship and pirate treasure. Instead of a sunken ship in the aquarium, you can place the reef decoration with a lot of corals, multi-colored stones and algae. In the large living room, a model of a real ship in a reduced size is often hung from the ceiling.
When decorating the living room, one of the walls is decorated with photo wallpaper with a picture of the sea. If desired, hang on the wall madder. Many decorate the walls with homemade panels made of natural shells, pebbles or products made of macrame. Maritime decor brings distinctiveness to the room.
The design looks original, if you hang a wall clock, made in the form of a ship's steering wheel or a lifebuoy. Lovers of travel should complement the interior of the house with a map of the world or a globe.
On the tables or shelves are placed olive-woven jugs or heavy vases made of clay. Elements that have parts from a rope fit organically into the interior. The living room can be decorated with topiary. If desired, the interior is diluted with living plants such as ficus, creepers, yucca, which are placed in pots directly on the floor.
Textile
Textiles in the living room should be light and airy. It is better to give preference to white or blue color. Favorable look fabrics, incorporating metallic threads. They play in the sun like overflowing the sea. For the design of the living room is allowed the use of yellow. However, it needs to be dosed. Yellow cushions look appropriate and remind of citrus fruits. In the living room textiles of turquoise color harmoniously look.
It is better to decorate the windows with natural fabrics. Beautifully look heavy curtains made of flax, in combination with a light veil from organza. With the help of properly selected curtains, you can create a real ship sail. Exotic looks living room, decorated with a real fishing net.
In the bedroom
Not everyone can afford a house by the sea. We offer you to arrange a bedroom in a nautical theme, so that before going to bed you could dream of distant wanderings.
The bedroom should not be oversaturated with details. The color palette should promote rest and serenity. Bedroom design focuses on color and patterns.
The sea can be different. Some see it as a wide space and a relaxed rest among the white sand and high palms. For others, the sea is associated with treasure hunting and pirates. The interior is chosen, starting from precisely his vision.
The bedroom is made of solid wood, natural stone, seashells and textiles. A floorboard or carpet of blue color is placed on the floor. The first creates the feeling of walking on the ship's deck. In the second case, the bedroom “sinks” to the bottom of the sea.
Walls
For the decoration of walls choose white painted panels of wood. You can plaster walls using accessories such as pebbles or seashells. To decorate the walls should hang pictures of marine painters or pokleit wallpaper.
A classic solution for decorating walls is the use of striped wallpaper. More often blue-white stripes alternate with each other. The modern design is gradually moving away from the usual classics. Today, glue wallpaper with a wave pattern.
The interior of the bedroom must be supported by natural colors. To make it more alive, use bright spots. This should be done carefully, so as not to lose the room, as the bedroom is a resting place. For bright spots, you can use juicy, sunny shades.
Decor
For the design of the bedroom pick the right furniture and decor. The bedroom should be kept in the same style. For home decor use wood or textile materials.
A great solution is aged furniture. Such additional elements as a map, a watch-helm, a chest contribute to the maintenance of style. The mirror in the bedroom is decorated with your hands by means of twine or rope. Table lamps in the form of lanterns, sinks on the thumbs - all this brings a note of adventurism.
Bedroom windows are decorated with canvas, linen curtains, cotton curtains. They are beautifully tied in sea knots. On the bed lay bed linen in blue, striped or with anchors. Sometimes it is allowed to use a red bed set. The bedroom is the place where you can go too far with the elements. In design, you need to adhere to the rule - the simpler the better.
On the kitchen
There is a perception that the marine theme is good only for bathrooms and children's rooms. However, it is suitable for kitchen design. Kitchens in this style look original and fresh.
The kitchen can be styled as:
- cabin company;
- galley;
- Coast;
- bottom;
- sand beach;
- fisherman's yacht or schooner;
- villa by the sea, etc.
The decor of the room must be created with care, as the search for details is fraught with the desire for change and discontent. It is better to use a few details that will be bright accents.
The interior design under the name "schooner fisherman" is based on the use of nets, rough dining furniture, aged objects, open wooden shelves, ropes. This interior can be transformed into a “villa by the sea”, if you hide nets and ropes, but hang light tulle and place pots with indoor plants and interior objects on the windows. A rough table is covered with a beautiful tablecloth, and cute pillows are thrown onto the benches. Interchangeable interior never bothers, but can change the kitchen beyond recognition without difficulty and repair.
Kitchen combined with living room
If the kitchen is combined with the living room, then there is more room for fantasy. In any case, such rooms require wicker chests and baskets, rattan furniture, armchairs with decorative pillows. The massive dark wood table looks original in the kitchen combined with the living room. Both a rough bench and high-backed chairs with blue covers are suitable for the table.
The walls of the combined zones are decorated with wallpaper and panels of wood so that everything is naturally combined. The wallpapers are suitable for the living area, and wooden panels are installed in the kitchen. On the floor may lie a carpet with a thick pile.

The main thing is to follow the advice of designers and rely on your imagination.

For the latter, the style of the beach villa is suitable when there is rattan furniture in the room, and textiles are rich in ruffles and lace. Shells and corals are used as decor. Children's for girls is made in pastel colors.
Male children prefer the nautical theme. Massive furniture is installed in children’s rooms, and coarse jewels such as anchors, navigation devices, etc. When making walls stop on striped wallpaper. Very often parents buy a bed for a boy in the form of a ship.

To enhance the sensations of the sea, you can resort to photo printing or luminescent patterns that give off their light in the dark. It is not necessary to make the ceiling colored. Some stop on a white surface, decorating it with beautiful ceiling lights in the form of ship's steering wheels or lanterns.

The walls in the nursery should be properly decorated.If the budget is small, stop on vinyl stickers with the image of underwater inhabitants. One of the walls can be pasted over with photo wallpaper or decorated with a large navigation map.

Kids will love the images of cartoon characters. For older children, it is better to choose the decor in the form of steering wheels, palm trees, pirate treasures.
