Today she returned to life marine motifs that were in favor a century ago, and returned not only to clothing, but also to the design of premises.

The basis of the sea interior is a blue and white strip, a light tree and various gizmos that are directly related to the oceans and seas: pebbles and seashells, starfish and crabs, helmets and ancient chests. The maritime traditions of Provence and country, the Italian and Mediterranean styles are not alien, but it’s very difficult to reproduce such an interior with your own hands, therefore, having decided to follow fashion trends, it is worth to listen to the advice of professionals.

Where is the sea style acceptable?

The arrangement of housing is conceived with the sole purpose of making it really comfortable and cozy, and, therefore, it is rational to approach this issue. But will this house meet its requirements, the interior of which will be completely recreated in a marine style, where each room will meet you with a blue white stripe? It is difficult to answer unequivocally, but most designers do not recommend getting so carried away and think that it is enough to decorate only one room in these colors. They are echoed by psychologists who insist that if only one color dominates the whole house, and even so saturated, even people with a strong psyche will be able to find out what a depressive mood is.

The style is so original, how destructive and if one room, decorated in a maritime context, becomes a true decoration of an apartment, the whole area made in this direction will deprive the house of originality and turn it into a kind of hotel, forever expelling comfort and warmth from it. By itself, the interior in the marine style is “cold”, so the optimal under it are sunny rooms, the windows of which “look” to the east or south. In addition to beauty, style, will bring a cool atmosphere into the atmosphere of this place and will allow to get a wonderful place for rest. Of course, the effect of staying on the coast will not work, but the mood from staying in an extraordinary room is guaranteed to improve.

Deck style in the interior of the living room

The sea style is really individual and has the characteristic features by which it is instantly determined. First of all:

1. materials;
2. color improvisation;
3. lighting;
4. furnishing;
5. motivation;
6. availability of open space.

Design in this style living room – and you will emphasize the consistency of the owners, because the creation of marine design is bypassed, to put it mildly, not cheap. It will be beautiful and childlike, reminiscent of the ship. In such a room, the children will gladly spend their time and probably will feel like great travelers or famous pirates. Certainly, the interior in the fashionable marine style is simply created for the bathrooms and, strangely enough, is not alien to the bedrooms. The main thing to decide on the composition, and deciding whether you will imitate the captain’s cabin or emphasize the beauty of the seas, you can safely embark on the idea.

Tone weave

In its color range, the sea style is very diverse. Here, there are not only blue and blue tones, but sand with emeralds, as well as beige with turquoise. Classical is a combination of blue and white, because it is associated with the sea depths. The use of green tones in combination with beige and brown reminds of the ship’s deck. Sand, in combination with blue and yellow, brings beach memories. Turquoise and azure in a harmonious coition with beige, white or sandy tell about the measured splash of waves. Calm colors, characteristic for the fashionable style can be diluted with silvery, golden, coral, citrus or wine shades, but to use in this interior the screaming neon colors will be a mauveton.

Consumables

To give the interior in the marine style the maximum believability, only natural materials should be used in the design of the premises. For example, the floor must be covered with whitewashed boards, laminate, painted strips imitating a light tree, like ash, or bamboo and in no way hide it under the carpet. Walls can be sewed with lining or covered with decorative plaster with impregnations of shells. The ceiling can be made any, but the multi-level option will be ideal, since high altitude drops will help to represent the cabin of the ship in all its originality. Interior doors should also be decorated with natural wood and can have rounded, glazed opaque glass inserts.

Lighting Features

The abundance of light is the main element of the interior in the marine style. The space, bathed in the sun, will give a sense of being on the shore of the ocean. Designers strongly recommend for this reason to use in the decor of the room white objects, install windows in the wall, use glass doors and make mirrored ceilings.

You should experiment with artificial lighting. For a room in the spirit of the cabin, the sconces in the form of anchors or a chandelier in the form of a steering wheel are ideal. In a room imitating sea depths, lamps with shades in the form of fish, corals, shells, sea stars are appropriate. A beautiful decoration will be a floor lamp decorated with pearls, which will fill the room with a gentle glow. Nice in the marine theme lamps in retro style, reminiscent of antique lanterns. You can try to fit into the surrounding environment more patterned lamps, the main thing is not to break the overall harmony.

Style Motivation

Motivate naval style is easiest with the help of strips. In interiors in the marine style, they can be of different widths and often used in a variety of combinations. Depending on the location of the bands, you can visually expand the space (in this case, the strips should lie horizontally) and draw it to the height (here the strips are positioned vertically). Such strips can be placed on curtains and bedspreads, sofa cushions and furniture cover. A good alternative to them were zigzag and wavy patterns. The final stroke of the decor will be a rose of winds, made in the form of a picture or applique.

Maritime style furniture

The room, the interior of which is made in a marine style, requires appropriate furniture. Mindful that this style does not accept artificial materials, we turn our attention to products woven from vines, bamboo, straw or aged wooden furniture. Instead of a chest in such a room, it’s better to place a real ship’s trunk. Do not interfere with the interior tables of durable thick glass and forged items. By its dimensions, furniture should be thorough, stable and cause a sense of reliability. It is impossible to create a complete atmosphere without the use of ropes. Tied up by sea knots they can be present on the wall panel. Of these, furniture handles can be made. With regard to textiles, the fabrics used can be both striped and monophonic. Ideal for here are coarse materials such as flax, cotton and natural matting. Although the interior windows in the nautical style require minimal decoration, nevertheless, if you want to hide from extraneous views, they can be decorated with light light curtains made of organza and corduroy. They will resemble waving sails and will not block the way to the light. A sign of excellent taste can be snow-white blinds, which are ideal for paneling walls and give the room an atmosphere of intimacy and privacy.

Accessories for sea interior

Perhaps filling the room with cute trinkets for many becomes a truly fascinating process. After all, it is so wonderful to observe how the room finds its soul with the placement of another figurine or paintings. Do not do without this process and when reproducing the interior in the marine style, but try not to overdo the transformation. Do not forget that this style is ruled by an open space, so do not arrange a furniture pile and do not squeeze everything that you find in the marine attributes. For decoration can be used:

1. Model ship. It can be any size: from a miniature table sailboat to a large yacht that occupies the corner of the room.
2. Starfish and fish. In such an exterior, cushions are often made, but you can install an aquarium in the room or perform a luxurious panel with representatives of the underwater world.
3. The steering wheel, in which the watch is mounted, can be put on a nightstand or hung on a wall.
4. Any map and globe. These attributes are also relevant in the interior, made in the marine style.
5. Hammock. The pendant bed will remind you of old ships.
6. French jugs for wine.
7. Vases with sand patterns.
8. Pebbles and decorative stone. These irreplaceable materials can be used instead of skirting boards or lay out their stand under the aquarium and TV. Especially gifted people manage to make of them coffee tables, shelving partitions.
9. Topiary, a casket, a photo frame of seashells.
10. Fishnet.
11. Lifebuoy.
12. Oars. They can be placed at the head of the bed.
13. The retro-couple and flip-flops. These elements also fit perfectly into the interior.

In the marine interior there is always a place for living flowers, but only they should have large leaves. Perfectly palm trees and other exotic plants that are placed in specific flowerpots will feel here.

How to make a sea-style interior without mistakes

If you are going to design a room in the sea style with your own hands, try not to overdo the flowers and prevent irreparable mistakes, the correction of which will require a complete alteration of the premises. First of all, do not use too saturated blue color, as in certain tonal combinations and under the wrong lighting it will simply turn into black. If you do not think your base room of this color, then generously dilute it with bright shades of the marine palette. Do not paint the wall with this color.

Dining table in the form of a cabin

The room will certainly turn dark and even a light floor and white furniture will not be able to correct this feeling. This color is good only in the patterns of outdoor carpets or sofa cushions. The same caution should be applied to the introduction of blue and white stripes, although they are considered the basis of the sea interior. Their overabundance will make the room mottled and deprive it of originality. It is unacceptable to furnish a room with poor quality furniture and leave it without additional accessories, so if you are constrained in the means, better find an alternative to this design.

Bathroom in a marine style

The simplest and most popular way to decorate a bath in a marine style is to use the creations of the seascapes. The image on the canvas can be completely different: swimming ships, dolphins, gulls over the waves, in general, everything that gives rise to association with the sea. Such a picture can be a panel, spread out on one of the walls framed by natural stone and surrounded by turquoise, white or blue finishing tiles. You can imagine the sea theme on the curb, edging the perimeter of the room. You can create a sea mood with the help of a mosaic. Game of shades in accuracy will reproduce beauty of sea waves.

The seaman’s bedroom

The bedroom is a room that should cause complete pacification. Therefore, to create here the atmosphere of the sea, it is enough to make an accent wall in the head of the bed using themed wallpaper. However, take the time to purchase consumables with obvious associations. This requires a more subtle approach. Motley photos prefer “hints” to the sea space in the form of small patterns on azure background or a thin striped strip. Supplement the interior of the rest room in the marine style will help bed linens of the appropriate colors and an abundance of pillows with original prints.

For little pirates

One of the most excellent options for decorating a room for a little prank will be turning it into a real cabin, where a hammock, a rope will be placed under a bunk bed, and a small sail will serve as a canopy, but a real sail. Using photo wallpapers the room can be turned into a cabin of a yacht, and to the sea shore, and to the deck of a ship, and even into an underwater kingdom. Simulation of the seabed can be performed in the nursery with the help of carpet.

It may seem strange, but a tiny “Khrushchev” cuisine will be just an ideal place for improvisations on a marine theme. After all, it is as tight as a ship’s galley. A tree, in combination with blue and white tones, will create a fairly fresh and incredibly stylish interior. Order the doors of the facades from the whitewashed pine, hang the curtains on the window in a large checkered cell or blinds and you do not recognize your favorite kitchen, it will become so spacious and cozy in it.
