Ideas for designing a room in a marine style

In hot weather, marine style will bring notes of freshness and coolness to the interior, as if inspired by the sea breeze, and in the cold evenings it will warm you with your warmth and memories of a trip or vacation on the beach. For so many years, marine style has been popular both in creating interiors of country houses and in city apartments. It is quite versatile and is great for bedrooms, living rooms, and for bathrooms or kitchens.

The characteristic features of the marine style in the interior

Light and blue tones. The colors used to create the interior in a marine style can be very diverse. The classic combination that is associated with this style is a combination of blue and white. These colors remind of a white yacht against the background of the sea depths or of a sailor's vest. It is a combination of blue and white that can give the desired tone to the interior and make the room brighter.

Stripes. When choosing upholstered furniture that fits perfectly into a room made in a marine style, it is worth giving preference to striped or plain upholstery of the corresponding color scheme with the obligatory presence of pillows on it, with a pattern in the form of pebbles, starfish or life buoy. Of the drawings and ornaments when creating a marine design, it is better to give preference to a strip of any width or wave.

Elements of the ship (lighthouse, anchors, helm) will become a highlight in the design. Choosing the color of the decor, pay attention to the gray and gold elements: on a blue or brown background, the silver or golden anchor or watch in the form of a helm will look great.

Wall decor. Will look great decorative plaster interspersed with shells, which can be either purchased ready-made or made independently by placing shells or pebbles in a thick layer of plaster. It is also beneficial to emphasize the marine theme will be the walls painted in light shades and decorated with sea landscapes. You can also use a combination of brown, green and beige shades to create a marine style. These colors are often used in the design of yacht cabins, so it is this direction of decoration that you should adhere to when creating a marine room design in these colors.

Seafood (pebbles, starfish, shells). A practically indispensable decoration for creating a marine style is pebbles or decorative stones made under pebbles. They can be used in the design of the baseboard, laid out with a wide strip at the junction of the walls with the floor, when decorating the walls of the kitchen, also at the front door or in the bathroom you can see rugs made of pebbles. Gray shades that blend well with blue and brown will also look great in any room decorated in a nautical theme. True, in such combinations it is important to add bright colors and details, sustained in the same style.

Wooden floor. Ideal will convey the "marine" mood in the room flooring made of boards, parquet or laminate, but use carpet or ceramic tiles unlikely to be appropriate. The use of yellow shades that perfectly harmonize with blue and are associated with the beach and warm sand will give the interior brightness and festivity. But bright azure and turquoise colors are best combined with calmer white, beige or yellow.

Aged furniture. Also worth paying attention to wicker or forged furniture elements. Forged chests that replace traditional bedside tables, or wicker chairs and tables will look good. Wooden furniture is ideal for creating a marine style.

Ceiling. When creating a marine design, you can choose any type of ceiling: traction, suspended, layered or simply painted. The main thing here is to choose the right fixtures that meet the general style and color scheme.

As you can see, creating an interior in a marine theme is not so difficult. This can be achieved using fairly simple tricks using a relatively inexpensive finish.
