Marine Mood in Your Home

But what about those who want to create an equally worthy interior on their own, without turning their home into a panopticon or a warehouse of elements that express who knows what (who knows what because there are too many of them and the main idea has been lost, dissolved without a trace)?

However, there is nothing complicated about it, if only you take into account common mistakes. It would seem that the flaws of this or that plan are obvious, but nevertheless many people make them. And we will look at what not to do using their example.

Bedroom, living room, kitchen, study... What do they have in common? All these rooms should maintain a calm atmosphere. If there is a 'seafloor' around and 'sharks are about to swim up, they are already nearby,' then neither sleeping, nor chatting, nor working normally will work out. That is appropriate only for playrooms – and even then under great question.

Office-format furniture is unacceptable, but furniture seemingly brought from the century before last is also unacceptable. And both are especially ridiculous in children's rooms.

Creating a nautical style should include blue. That is an axiom. But it is also an axiom that not all its tones get along with each other. Pour other bright colors into the interior, play with contrasts. Water is good, but only water is very bad. Blue-yellow, blue-red, blue-white combinations will improve the design. And blinds of that color in Penza will look equally attractive as in Yalta or any other seaside city.

When taking ship's wheels as accessories, make sure they are wooden (plastic ruins the whole plan) and without any frills like clocks or other devices. A real ship's wheel has never been equipped and is not equipped with such add-ons, so let us be consistent in the imitation.

First choose a core plot. For example, a coastal house with light curtains and wicker furniture, with accessories slightly hinting at the proximity of water. Another direction is a full-fledged imitation of a cabin. There are completely different requirements, and mixing these two approaches (or some other variation of the nautical style) leads to the creation of an absurd and anecdotal interior. Decided to make a captain's wheelhouse? So put something navigational there – around wood and generally a nautical atmosphere in everything, in every little thing and nuance.
