Nautical Home Decor Interior Decorating Guide

Read full article here...

 

Nautical home decor is perfect if you've always wanted to live in a beach cottage but you're still stuck in the city. It can also work for a kids' room or nursery. Here are some tips for buying nautical home decor that won't be so in your face that your friends will always be making pirate jokes about your decorating style.

Don't underestimate the impact these items have. It's easy to put up some cheesy wallpaper and say you have a nautical room. You might just need one item in a room to really get your theme across. If it's the right piece it will have more impact than all of the seashell borders in the world. The great part about this is that it won't take a lot to transition your current room into this design style. You don't want your living room looking like a seafood restaurant.

Keep it elegant. Stay away from little cute lighthouse figurines that will just look like clutter. These are often too literal and will look cheap. Instead, try hanging a large faux anchor on one wall instead of the obligatory painting. This will become the focal point and statement of the room while still keeping things sleek and modern. It will be able to work with your existing design style. Decorate an office with a cool ship in a bottle.
