Original children's in marine style - for a boy or for a girl

The nursery is a special room, the design of which should be fundamentally different from the rest of the rooms in the house or apartment. If your child gravitates to the marine theme, why not use this concept? The pirate style design is perhaps the best option for a young filibuster. Yo-ho-ho, as they say, but without a bottle.

The erroneous opinion that only boys will like this decor. Girls are also not averse to getting a bedchamber in a marine version. The main thing is to ask them about it.

Key elements

What interior can be called marine, and what attributes personify it? Decor, at a minimum, involves:

• water, both real and drawn;
• marine items that you can do with your own hands, or purchase in a souvenir shop;
• pirate ship equipment;
• marine inhabitants of all stripes;
• appropriate color techniques and materials.

Well, from the screw? We create a clear and structured design in a marine style. First, decide what elements you want to see in the room, as well as decor, accessories and other little things that complement the picture.

Walls

It’s worth starting with these elements. The wall should be solid, although you can dilute one color with 1-2 shades, but do not overdo it with contrast. Often, design involves the use of tones such as:

• blue;
• ocher (sand);
• brown;
• white.

There are many variations on the design theme. You can take a ready-made solution in the style of “Finding Nemo”, or “Underwater Brothers”. Although such techniques are suitable for the smallest. For older children, you can apply the decor in the spirit of "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Treasure Island" or "Odyssey of Captain Blood."

On the other hand, nothing prevents you from decorating the walls in a pirate style yourself. The elements, on the whole, are not intricate: the jolly Roger, several interesting characters who can be painted on the walls themselves, as well as the old Pugh, where would it be without him. One of the walls can be decorated with a real treasure map. You can draw it yourself, or you can attract your child, who will be very interested to take part in the process of creating a nursery.

Shelves, niches and wall cabinets can be made in the form of sails. It will look extremely unusual and interesting. Moreover, the design of the room contributes to this. Another thing is that such furniture will have to be ordered. Do not save on the health of the baby, choosing cheap materials. Give preference to a tree. Firstly, it will last longer, retaining its original appearance. Secondly, where did you see the corsairs plowing the sea on the schooners from the chipboard?

Floor

Now let's talk about the floors. On the ship, all the masts are wooden, but do not blindly follow the filibuster canons. As a floor covering you can choose:

• textured laminate;
• carpet;
• carpet paths;
• parquet board.

The marble floor as well as linoleum fall away immediately. The first option is extremely expensive and cold, and a cold child with chronic bronchitis is far from what we are seeking. Linoleum is toxic in nature and is suitable for corridors and kitchens, but not for a marine-style cabin for children.

But laminate and parquet - that’s it. These materials are warm and perfectly recreate the deck texture. In addition, they can be laid with your own hands, significantly saving on installation.

Ceiling

Be guided by the originally conceived concept when choosing a material for the ceiling. Its design should match the rest of the elements. If you decide to decorate the nursery’s interior in the form of a ship with sails, then clear sky and sun should “look” at the child from above. You can draw a picture with your own hands, or use the help of an artist.

For the ceiling, materials such as:

• PVC film
• drywall;
• suspended structures;
• plaster and putty.

Remember that the stretch ceiling is not a corny stretched film around the entire perimeter of the room. She can be given notes in a marine style by ordering a thematic print. Especially popular is the "starry sky", which will radically change the interior. Your little corsair on his pirate ship will be able to "plow the sea" even at night.

Furniture & Accessories

When the preliminary preparation of the nursery is over, you can proceed to the purchase of furniture and accessories, which, by the way, can be done with your own hands, with the support of the child. Choose high-quality natural materials. The only thing that comes to mind when the word “natural” is a tree, on which we stop. Its advantages:

• hypoallergenicity;
• strength;
• durability;
• aesthetic beauty;
• resistance to damage.

I want to say right away that it is better to order furniture “for growth”, since children grow quickly, and you can go broke on a frequent change of interior and beds. At the same time, you should not categorically reproach him with the fact that a bed or a curbstone is expensive. This will cause only misunderstanding and children's fears of possible breakdowns.

Of the necessary elements in the pirate den should be present:

• bed
• wardrobe
• pedestal
• desk
• some chairs

Everything else is not necessary for the boy. Children are very active, so you should not clutter up the room. Keep this in mind when designing and designing a nursery.

As for accessories. Of course, furniture factories are ready to design a bed in a pirate style, creating a kind of ship with anchors, a helm and other attributes. But if you don’t want to blindly follow your idea and are afraid that your marine-style interior might get bored, use the universal design technique, adding a standard bed or table with your own hand-made hanging items. Later, they can be removed, turning the room into the most ordinary.

As a useful and functional accessories, you can use a hammock, stretched near the wall. On it, the child will happily rest, feeling like a sailor of distant wandering. Curtains can be given the appearance of sails developing in the wind. And at the end of the bed, fix the steering wheel and the bell by screwing the anchor and guides on the side. And do not forget to buy a cocked hat in a pirate spirit or a cap. Use the rest of the additional elements and decor that turns the interior in the nursery in a marine style into a real semblance of a schooner.

Mistakes

When creating the optimal interior, parents are often carried away, oversaturating the room with extra elements or being carried away with the play of colors. Remember that blue and cyan are cold shades, so their excessive use is fraught with unpleasant consequences. The child simply does not want to live in such a room.

Do not overdo it with the design. Sea creatures and inhabitants are beautiful, but the abundance of fish, pirates, ships and other elements will put an end to the decor. Furniture does not have to be strict and clerical, but excessive stylization is also detrimental. If you think that a stand symbolizing a lifebuoy will stand out very creatively against the background of the overall design, then you are greatly mistaken. First of all, you need to think about functionality.
