Marine style in the interior of the house makes the space airy, free, functional. Previously, the interior of a country house in a marine style was considered aerobatics, today city apartments are also decorated in this style.

Any room can be decorated in a marine theme. It doesn't require complex items. The space can easily be transformed into a Mediterranean paradise. Any person can afford such a design, regardless of the state of his finances.

Peculiarities

The nautical theme can be seen quite clearly in modern apartments. Any person, entering such a room, will immediately understand the stylistic idea, and all because the design has bright distinctive characteristics.

The interior is done in blue, white and brown cold colors. The blue gamma can have many tones: from blue to turquoise. White color is most often used in its pure form, sometimes beige, milky, caramel shades are acceptable.

The marine interior is built on contrasting colors. Pastel shades are combined with rich blues, browns, dark greens and purples.

Some designers use warm colors to create an underwater-themed space. Elements are made in red, yellow, cream colors. The interior in a marine style does not tolerate a complex, multi-component color scheme.

Water motifs should not overload the room. It must remain airy. In a small room, a minimum of details is used. For a standard room, one main color is used, which is complemented by a contrasting shade and a couple of bright details.

It is optimal to use materials and objects made of natural wood, cork, stone, etc. in the design of the house. For children's rooms, you can use hemp, canvas materials, sandstone.

Water motifs are recognizable due to their patterns. Rooms with this design are decorated with striped wallpaper or wallpaper with drawings of anchors, waves, clouds. Sometimes patterns are combined with each other. For a small room, it is better to choose one basic pattern.

Furniture for rooms is chosen from solid wood, the seats of armchairs and sofas are covered with canvas, linen, cotton fabric or matting. The setting should be concise. To support the theme, they use low furniture, reminiscent of a ship.

Sometimes in the design you can find rattan furniture, which helps to recreate the atmosphere of southern resorts in the apartment.

Items of this theme are often made by hand.

Which rooms are suitable for

Any room can be decorated in a marine style, but bathrooms or children's rooms look the most advantageous. Sometimes bedrooms and living rooms are decorated this way.

To decorate the room, you need to choose a special color scheme and the right furniture. The interior includes a marine theme: shells, anchors, sandstone. The curtains in the room should be translucent, and the tulle should be weightless. Wooden blinds are installed on the window. They are decorated with shells. Wall murals depicting ships, palm trees or the ocean are glued to one of the walls. The room focuses on the ceiling. It can be not just white and stretchy, designers offer ceilings in plain blue or white with painted clouds.

Color combinations

To decorate the room, you should stick to the blue and white palette, diluting it with natural wood materials. At first glance, this design may seem simple, but it is not. There must be harmony in the room.

From year to year, the fashion for shades of blue changes. Recently, designers have settled on light, blue shades. The marine interior is classic, which implies the obligatory use of a dark blue color called navy (marine). This shade is deep and quite calm. Marine design suggests using this color when decorating windows or as upholstery for a headset. Sofa cushions, carpets look original in this color.

When decorating the walls, several colors are combined. For example, they glue contrasting striped wallpapers. The glued wall is used as a color spot for accessories. A room for a child should be fun, so it is diluted with colored elements, shells. Orange or red details are brought into such a room. You can create decor with your own hands.

Some designers oppose the use of black shades when decorating a home. Black destroys the airy nautical design.

Recently, the interior in a marine style is diluted with beige tones. Warm shades: milky, caramel, ecru enrich the interior, make it calm, warm and serene.

In the living room

The apartment must be made in a single style. Rooms should not contradict each other in design. The living room should be decorated in a marine style if the general view of the apartment is close to Mediterranean standards.

When designing a living room, we advise you to consider which side the windows face. For a marine style, rooms with a view to the south or west are selected. In such rooms it is always light and sunny. The north side is considered more gloomy, as a result of which the theme of the sea or the ocean does not look cheerful.

In sunny rooms, cold colors will sparkle with new colors, giving the room a feeling of airiness and coolness. The use of white and blue tones as the main, properly selected natural furniture and accessories will make the living room original. Decor helps stylistically complete the look of the room.

Furniture

We advise you to properly furnish the living room. Arrangement items must be durable, high-quality and natural, like on a ship. It is necessary to take into account the size of the living room. Massive furniture, such as oak or ash, is installed in spacious rooms. To facilitate the view of the room, mirrors are hung in it, glass tables are installed. Rattan or bamboo furniture is installed in a small living room.

Low furniture is placed for guests. Rocking chairs are also installed. Instead of chests of drawers put chests made of solid wood. To store books, hang massive shelves with wrought iron elements or install an elegant cabinet with glass doors. Accessories in the form of shells, sandstone or vessels with pebbles are placed on the shelves.

Wall decoration and lighting

The walls of the living room are sheathed with clapboard or trimmed with decorative caramel-colored plaster. Designers recommend making a light ceiling in the living room. It can be hung, pulled, made multi-level, but it should be light and low, like in a ship's cabin. To support the theme of the sea, it is necessary to install a lamp in the same style. It can be made in the form of an anchor decorated with shells or a steering wheel.

There should be light in the living room. At night, the room should be well lit with a large number of LED lamps or multi-level lighting. In addition, walls can be decorated with sconces or wall lamps decorated with artificial pearls or natural shells. In the reading area, you can install a floor lamp in the form of a deck lamp.

Decor

An aquarium can be placed in the living room. A model of a sunken ship and pirate treasures are placed at its bottom. Instead of a sunken ship in an aquarium, you can place a reef decoration with many corals, colorful pebbles and algae. In a large living room, a reduced-size model of a real ship is often hung from the ceiling.

When decorating the living room, one of the walls is decorated with photo wallpapers depicting the sea. If desired, madders are hung on the walls. Many decorate the walls with homemade panels made from natural shells, pebbles or macrame products. Nautical décor brings originality to the room.

The design looks original if you hang a wall clock made in the form of a ship's steering wheel or a lifebuoy. Travel lovers should complement the interior of the house with a world map or a globe.

Provencal jugs or heavy vases made of clay are placed on pedestals or shelves. Elements with rope details organically fit into the interior. The living room can be decorated with topiary. If desired, the interior is diluted with live plants such as ficus, creepers, yucca, which are placed in pots directly on the floor.

Textile

Textiles in the living room should be light and airy. It is better to give preference to white or blue. Favorably look fabrics that have metallic threads in their composition. They play in the sun like the play of the sea. For the design of the living room, it is permissible to use yellow. However, it must be dosed. Yellow sofa cushions look appropriate and are reminiscent of citrus fruits. Turquoise textiles harmoniously look in the living room.

Windows are best decorated with natural fabrics. Heavy curtains made of linen look beautiful in combination with a light organza veil. With the help of properly selected curtains, you can create a real ship's sail. The living room, decorated with a real fishing net, looks exotic.

In the bedroom

Not everyone can afford a house by the sea. We invite you to design a bedroom in a marine theme so that before going to bed you can dream about distant wanderings.

The bedroom should not be oversaturated with details. The color palette should promote relaxation and serenity. Bedroom design focuses on color and patterns.

The sea can be different. Some see it as a wide space and a relaxed vacation among white sand and tall palm trees. For others, the sea is associated with treasure hunting and pirates. The interior is chosen based on his vision.

The bedroom is decorated with solid wood, natural stone, shells and textiles. A parquet board or blue carpet is laid on the floor. The first creates the feeling of walking along the ship's deck. In the second case, the bedroom "plunges" to the bottom of the sea.

Walls

For wall decoration, white-painted wood panels are chosen. You can plaster the walls using accessories such as pebbles or shells. To decorate the walls, you should hang pictures of marine painters or glue photo wallpapers.

The classic solution for decorating walls is the use of striped wallpaper. More often blue-white stripes alternate with each other. Modern design is gradually moving away from the usual classics. Today they glue wallpaper with a wavy pattern.

The interior of the bedroom should be supported by natural colors. To make it more alive, bright spots are used. This must be done carefully so as not to lose the room, since the bedroom is a resting place. For bright spots, it is permissible to use juicy, sunny shades.

Decor

To decorate the bedroom, select the right furniture and decor. The bedroom should be designed in the same style. Wooden or textile materials are used for home decor.

An excellent solution is aged furniture. Additional elements such as a map, steering wheel watch, chest contribute to maintaining the style. The mirror in the bedroom is decorated with their own hands using twine or rope. Table lamps in the form of lanterns, shells on the cabinets - all this brings a note of adventurism.

Bedroom windows are decorated with canvas, linen curtains, cotton curtains. They are beautifully tied into sea knots. Blue linens, striped or with anchors are laid on the bed. Sometimes it is allowed to use a red bed set. The bedroom is where you can go overboard with the elements. In design, you need to follow the rule - the simpler the better.

In the kitchen

There is an opinion that the marine theme is good only for bathrooms and children's rooms. However, it is also suitable for the design of kitchens. Kitchens in this style look original and fresh.

The kitchen can be styled according to:

• wardroom;
• galley;
• shore;
• sand beach;
• a fisherman's yacht or schooner;
• a villa by the sea, etc.

The decor of the room must be created carefully, as busting with details is fraught with a desire for change and discontent. It is better to use a few details that will be bright accents.

The interior design called "fisherman's schooner" is based on the use of nets, rough dining furniture, aged items, open wooden shelves, ropes. This interior can be transformed into a "villa by the sea" if you hide the nets and ropes, but hang a light tulle, and place pots with houseplants and interior items on the windows. A rough table is covered with a beautiful tablecloth, lovely pillows are thrown on the benches. The interchangeable interior never gets boring, but can change the kitchen beyond recognition without labor and repair.

Kitchen combined with living room

If the kitchen is combined with the living room, then there is more room for imagination. In any case, such rooms require wicker chests and baskets, rattan furniture, chairs with decorative pillows. A massive dark wood table looks original in the kitchen combined with the living room. Both a rough bench and chairs with high backs, which are covered with blue covers, are suitable for the table.

The walls of the combined zones are decorated with wallpaper and wood panels so that everything fits together naturally. Wallpaper is suitable for the living area, and wood panels are installed in the kitchen. A carpet with a thick pile may lie on the floor.

decor rules

Small kitchens can be easily decorated in a marine style. It is only necessary to adhere to the following rules:

• the kitchen set should have simple shapes;
• the kitchen should be designed in blue tones;
• an apron can be made either yellow with images of the inhabitants of the underwater world or white with applications from natural shells or pebbles;
• the kitchen window is decorated with airy tulle;
• a light tablecloth with ruffles is placed on the table;
• install a small lamp;
• kitchen shelves are decorated with shells, shells, pebbles, corals;
• bright clay dishes are used in the kitchen;
• the flooring is made of sand-colored porcelain stoneware;
• the walls are decorated with wood panels in combination with wallpaper.

Standard kitchen decor

If the kitchen is medium in size, then the theme may be more pronounced. The ceiling in the kitchen is white, but you can play with the flooring. For example, it is allowed to make a wave of blue and yellow tiles. In this case, the walls of the room are covered with yellow wallpaper and decorated with beautiful madders.

In such a kitchen, a glossy kitchen set looks beautiful. If there are many different shelves, then they are decorated with bottles entwined with a vine. The kitchen has a rectangular wooden table. Chairs with fabric seats are selected for him. Beautiful planters with exotic flowers or low palm trees are placed on the windowsill. You can make a ceiling lamp with your own hands in the form of a forged chandelier or steering wheel.

A piece of the sea in the nursery

A nursery in a marine style does not lose relevance over a long period. In the nursery, the child feels cozy and comfortable. Thanks to the style, the summer mood is maintained in the room throughout the year. To arrange a nursery, you do not need a lot of money. The main thing is to follow the advice of designers and rely on your imagination.

When designing, the gender of the child is taken into account, since the nursery for a boy is different from the room for a girl. For the latter, the style of a villa on the coast is suitable, when the room has rattan furniture, and textiles are rich in ruffles and lace. Shells and corals are used as decor. The nursery for the girl is made out in pastel colors.

Male children prefer the nautical theme. Massive furniture is installed in children's rooms, and rough decorations such as anchors, models of navigation devices, etc. are chosen as decor. When decorating the walls, they stop at striped wallpaper. Very often, parents buy a bed in the form of a ship for a boy.

floors

Flooring in the nursery depends on the parent's budget. The nursery with a wooden or cork coating looks stylish. It is allowed to install a laminate or parquet board. A fluffy white or blue carpet can lie on the floor, which will be associated with the sea. The carpet in the form of a map of the world looks more original. It can be made to order. With a high budget, you can install self-leveling floors made in 3D design. Such floors imitate the underwater world.

Ceilings may look different. The nursery with a ceiling in the form of a cloudy or starry sky looks beautiful. This ceiling is universal and suitable for both a boy and a girl. To enhance the feeling of the sea, you can resort to photo printing or luminescent patterns that give off their light in the dark. It is not necessary to make the ceiling colored. Some dwell on the white coating, decorating it with beautiful ceiling lights in the form of ship's wheels or lanterns.

Walls

The walls in the nursery should be well-decorated. If the budget is small, they stop at vinyl stickers depicting underwater inhabitants. One of the walls can be pasted over with photo wallpapers or decorated with a large navigation map. Some parents prefer a more classic nursery design, choosing wallpapers in white, turquoise, caramel colors. It is important to consider the age of the child. Kids will love the images of cartoon characters. For older children, it is better to choose decor in the form of steering wheels, palm trees, pirate treasures.

Kids love bright colors, but the marine theme does not mean the use of many bright colors. This does not mean that they are prohibited for use. Colorful decor elements help to make the nursery more alive. They should be used in moderation. Designers do not recommend introducing black into the nursery. It will negatively affect the psyche of the child.

Furniture

The furniture in the nursery should correspond to the theme. It looks interesting bunk bed in the form of a ship. On the first tier, the child can play, on the second tier there is a bed. You can stay on an ordinary bed, but choose a beautiful sleeping set with the image of anchors for it.

The hammock suspended in the nursery looks original. You can install a standard wardrobe by replacing the fittings with a nautical theme. Handles in the form of underwater inhabitants look beautiful. Chests are also placed in the children's room. The writing table is complemented by a table lamp in the shape of a fish. For older children, you can install an aquarium built into a niche.

Textile

Curtains should support the underwater theme. Rope curtains fastened with sea knots look spectacular in the boy's room. In girls' rooms, it is better to choose air curtains with ruffles.

Accessories for the nursery can be created with your own hands. We offer to sew a flag of real pirates and decorate one of the walls or the ceiling with it. Some decorate sofa cushions or bedspreads with marine paraphernalia. So the children's room becomes stylish and cozy.

Marine style in the bathroom involves the use of solid wood and natural stone. To design a bathroom, you need to choose the right flooring. Unusually look bulk 3D floors recreating the underwater world. A more classic option is porcelain stoneware with natural pebble inserts. Some choose blue mosaic tiles. When laying the floor, you can combine various textured coatings, for example, natural stone and moisture-resistant laminate.

Walls and ceilings

The bathroom can be decorated in blue and sand shades. The walls are leveled and painted with matte plain paint or tiled with tiles. Madder panels are often installed above the bathroom. If the budget allows, you can put a relief on one of the walls and tint it with natural stone chips.

The bathroom is not always large, so you should not install a bulky ceiling in it. It is better to stay on the standard white color. In rare cases, the ceilings are painted with clouds or frescoes.

Furniture and decor

But with plumbing you can experiment. For example, install a wooden bath or create a mosaic podium under it, equipped with a curtain in the form of a sail. Furniture in the bathroom should be discreet. Facades with craquelure look original.

The design of the room involves the use of various decor in the form of shells and starfish. Items are laid out around the perimeter of the bath. For toothbrushes and soap, marine accessories for the interior are purchased. So the bathroom will sparkle with new colors.

The bathroom is a small room. It is necessary to correctly place the accents. If the walls are accentuated, then we advise you to choose white plumbing. If the emphasis is on plumbing, focus on pastel wall decoration.

Lighting

The underwater theme in the arrangement combines airiness and freshness. Nautical-inspired decor is popular with people living in large cities and dreaming of a vacation on the coast. This style is classic, concise, and involves a lot of open space, so choosing the right lighting is important for it.

The interior suggests a lot of flowing light associated with the sun. It is necessary to select lighting, focusing on the specifics of the room itself. Very often, designers use wall lamps in the form of anchors, ceiling lamps, steering wheels, hand-made pendants in the form of ships. When recreating the seabed, the premises are supplemented with lamps in the form of inhabitants of the underwater depths. Mother-of-pearl or pearl sconces, as well as forged lanterns, are suitable for this style.

Lamps must match the style. When decorating the premises, preference is given to models of blue or white colors, lighting fixtures with marine patterns and ornaments, and ceiling lamps in the style of Christopher Columbus.

Furniture

The arrangement of housing in a marine style involves the choice of simple furniture. It should look like it was just put together from improvised material. In some cases, it is permissible to age furniture facades. The craquelure technique is especially welcome. It is unacceptable to use artsy decor, but rattan or bamboo furniture is appropriate. This light furniture allows you to relax and promotes a romantic mood. In the rooms, stylized under the sea, you can find wooden or wicker chests, hammocks, barrel-shaped chairs, beds in the form of ships or boats.

The rooms are not overloaded with furniture. Here they operate on the principle - the simpler the better. If the room is equipped with standard furniture, then it is given a shade of the sea by replacing the fittings or by aging some of its elements. Instead of handles, marine figures and rope elements are attached. They prefer low furniture. Sofas are covered with canvas covers. Furniture should be made of natural wood. In rare cases, materials that mimic it can be used.

Decor and accessories

In rooms decorated in a marine style, they use photo frames decorated with shells, transparent vases with ropes, starfish and other items. However, designers do not advise storing many elements in the room at the same time.

One of the walls is decorated with a real fishing net or a homemade pirate flag. Some designers create original paintings. For example, pirate knots are tied, placed under glass and framed. Such paintings can be used in the living room or nursery.

Do not ignore textiles. With it, beautifully stylize the house. Covers in white and blue or red and blue stripes are thrown on sofas or beds. They are also decorated with sofa cushions. The design allows the use of pillows in yellow or orange. Windows are decorated with light tulle, linen or canvas curtains. A fluffy carpet of blue, white or, as an accent, red can lie on the floor. Rough materials such as matting, linen, canvas are suitable for such an interior.

A birthday in a marine style for a child is a fairly versatile option. It is perfect for both boys and girls. A narrower theme for a girl's holiday is a celebration in the style of the Little Mermaid or a fish, and a boy's birthday can be organized in the style of a pirate party or sponge Bob. Let's consider a broad topic, since it is the most universal and simple in terms of its implementation.

Of course, an underwater or beach holiday will not do without blue - the color of the waves. All its shades are appropriate - from blue to dark blue, turquoise colors. You can complement the range with green, white, red, purple. If you are going to equip a pirate ship, use paper or fabric with dark blue or black stripes for decoration.

Well, now more about what you can do for your birthday in a marine style with your own hands.

invitations

We decorate the traditional version of a rectangular postcard with drawings of waves, algae, sea inhabitants.

Fish, turtles and seahorses can be drawn, or you can cut them out of colored cardboard and stick them on a postcard - then we get a three-dimensional detail that will look more interesting.

Well, and options for curly postcards - a shell, a duck, a whale or a mermaid's tail.

We decorate the room

As a garland on a holiday, you can use paper boats strung on a thread. Crabs, jellyfish, shells, which can be cut out of colored paper or cardboard according to a template, also look interesting.

Ordinary paper pom-poms turn into inhabitants of the sea, if you attach fins, tails, heads and other details to them.

Chinese lanterns also transform well into the inhabitants of the depths. From such a paper lantern it is easy to make a fish or a jellyfish.

We supplement traditional stretch marks with figures of stars, algae, scales, or we make every detail in the shape of a shell or fish.

Balloons can also turn into a fish or a jellyfish, you just need to add them with paper tails and fins, draw eyes and mouth with a felt-tip pen or marker. And if there is not enough time or desire for creativity, stock up on ready-made foil balls in the form of a shark or an octopus.

And from the balls you can make funny octopuses.

The marine theme will be complemented by a fishing net on the wall, decorated with figures of marine inhabitants. This grid can also be used as a stand for birthday photos. Photos can also be placed in small round aquariums, supplementing them with shells, sand, pearls.

When the walls are decorated, you can think about the design of the ceiling. Corrugated paper strips imitate waves, create the illusion of being under water. An octopus made of a ball and paper strips also looks funny. Such a decorative handsome man will surely appeal to the kids.

We meet guests

A special nautical-style sign will help inform the invitees about where the holiday will take place. Also, a path decorated with foil balls in the tone of the holiday can act as a guide.

In order for the guests to also match the theme of the celebration, at the entrance we give them accessories - caps, hoops, bracelets. Bracelets with hoops are suitable for girls, and caps are a universal option, you can dress up all guests in them.

The image of the birthday

The boy's outfit depends on the theme of the holiday. If you settled on a general marine theme, a sailor suit will do, and if your choice is a narrower theme of pirates or sponge Bob, then choose the appropriate suit. Sailor and pirate costumes can be found at the box office, and the role of SpongeBob's outfit can be played by an ordinary yellow T-shirt with the image of a cartoon character.

The girl can be dressed up in a mermaid costume or just in a dress that matches the color scheme. Girls really like fluffy skirts and dresses, and a felt crown with pearls or a festive paper cap to match the dress will complement the look.

Letters and numbers

If you are going to decorate the hall with a number symbolizing the age of the birthday person, you can implement these simple options:

You can also make the first letter of the baby's name or even a whole word in a marine theme:

Festive table

We decorate the table itself with shells, stars, mesh, burlap.

We also decorate disposable tableware. It will be interesting for kids to eat from a plate in the form of a turtle or crab.

Since the child's birthday is planned in a marine style, seafood and fish dishes will be appropriate as treats. But the usual cutting or salad can also be decorated according to the theme of the celebration - lay out in the form of an anchor, decorate with octopus from pepper, toppers in the form of crabs. You can also remember the favorite dish of many - fried octopus sausages. Not very useful, but on a holiday you can)

candy bar

We also decorate the sweet table in the theme of the sea. To do this, we choose blue-blue shades for the background and tablecloth, supplement it with a fishing net, paper figurines of fish, and serve sweets in small aquariums.

In the role of toppers, images of lighthouses, boats, anchors, steering wheels are suitable. We decorate the tubes with paper skates, stars, shells. There is an easier option - we glue small flags on the tubes.

And of course, at the sea festival, we can only have real water from the ocean as a drink) And we decorate the container for it with stickers with octopuses or crabs.

We supplement cupcakes with sugar pearls, decorative stars or jelly candy turtles.

A cake can be decorated with a small paper sail, and ordinary macaroons are transformed into a shell with a pearl.

And even the usual and not quite festive crackers can be creatively served in buckets with shovels, and white dragees are poured into a small aquarium and called pearls)

Decorate the sweet table and gingerbread in the form of jellyfish, fish, skates and stars, painted with colored sugar icing.

Cake

A popular material for decorating cakes is mastic. You can make algae, shells, fish, scales from it - just such a cake decor is suitable for a sea-themed holiday.

photo zone

The memory of the holiday is bright and beautiful photos, so we pay due attention to the organization of the photo zone. The easiest way to diversify your nautical-themed photos is to use nautical-style photo props - anchors, lifebuoys, scuba masks.

A more interesting, but also more difficult option in terms of self-production is a photo booth. You can depict a mermaid with a sailor or a seahorse on it, and the most original photo booth is in the shape of a shark's mouth, with it you are provided with bright and unusual photos!

And here are ideas for a marine-style photo zone:

Entertainment

The marine theme in the interior has existed for over a hundred years and does not lose its relevance.. The key to its success is its versatility and the fact that such an interior design can be implemented even with a modest budget. In addition, there are a huge number of ready-made interior items that make it easier to bring the marine theme to life.

Basic principles

The essence of nautical design lies in the use of blue, white and blue colors in the interior, as well as their various shades.. Most often, a combination of these colors is used in the form of a strip. However, it is not recommended to use too many strips. Primary colors can be diluted with other colors of this theme: sand, coral, brown tones.

In more modern variations, it is allowed to carry out interior decoration in a marine style using beige and pastel blue colors, since such a range has a more calming effect on the nervous system.

Nautical interior design requires furniture to be made from natural materials, primarily wood. You can also use wicker furniture (rattan) and hammocks. Wicker furniture gives more charm and airiness to the interior. It is allowed to combine old and new things in such housing.

The marine theme in the interior also involves decorating housing with the help of gifts of nature: shells, sand in vases, as well as ceramics, chests, steering wheels, compasses, etc. Even sea pebbles in the interior can be used.

Sea stones can be in transparent flowerpots, in the form of panels, coasters, finishing materials. In addition, paintings from sea pebbles in the interior will look original.

It is important to pay due attention to textile decor in the design of housing in such a theme. Pillows of different sizes should be in large quantities. Curtains, made in the form of sails, perfectly complement the overall picture. Curtains should be light and made of natural fabrics.

The aquarium will fit perfectly into the design of rooms in a marine style.. It can be placed in the center or against the wall, provide good lighting and pick up fish to your taste. In the aquarium, you can place sand, stone, live or artificial corals, algae, as well as other objects in the form of a resting place for fish (for example, a model of a sunken ship, etc.).

Nautical style bathroom

The universal marine style in the interior is due to the ability to use it in all rooms of the home. The design of the room depends on its purpose: residential, non-residential, specific type. The most common use of a marine theme is in the bathroom.

Marine decor in the interior of the bathroom always looks appropriate and interesting. Now you can buy ceramic tiles of various types. There are whole wall tile paintings that you can collect in your bathroom, for example, with Neptune, a mermaid, seahorses. Moreover, individual details of the image can be changed to your liking.

For such interiors, accessories of the corresponding orientation are offered on the market. These can be sets of bathroom items made of transparent plexiglass with shells inside.

Bedroom decoration

Interior design is carried out in various ways. Bedrooms in a marine style are not recommended to be painted completely in blue, as this unnecessarily overloads the interior.. Styling as a ship's cabin looks great when decorating the walls with clapboard. The floor in the room should also be wooden.

The interior of the bedroom will take on a finished look after decorating. To do this, you can use suitable accessories, textiles, a chandelier, lamps with floor lamps, a woven straw rug. It is ideal to use miniature ship models in bottles or on stands. You can hang pictures depicting seascapes, underwater inhabitants, ships.

Children's room

Usually, the design of a nursery in a marine style is used to decorate boys' rooms.. Such an interior is able to inspire the child to various achievements and cheer him up. It also develops imagination and aesthetic feelings in children. For the interior of the nursery, photo wallpapers depicting a sea pier, a shipping yard, and the underwater world are suitable. The bed can also be made in the form of a ship. The presence of drawings of anchors, steering wheels and other thematic paraphernalia in the decor is welcome.

The carpet in such a nursery should be appropriate for the age of the boy and his needs. For games, it is advisable to select thicker cotton products with the appropriate colors and patterns.. In a room with a nautical style, a play complex with a rope ladder and a rope, as well as a large globe and a geographical map of the world, will organically look in the interior.

Indoors, you can collect a collection of shells and stones of different types to develop tactile sensations in a younger boy. The design in a marine style is perfectly complemented by walls with children's drawings on the topic. For older children, ship models are provided for self-assembly and further installation in the room.

Kitchen and living room

In the kitchen and in the living room, the main thing is to follow the basic principles of marine design, it is equally important to organically fit household appliances. You can competently and elegantly think over the design for housing in such a style with the help of the services of a professional designer. However, if you want to try to do such work, someone who has a well-developed taste and sense of style can do it, and for this it is not necessary to have artistic skills.

When designing a kitchen, it is not necessary to use decor items related to water or imitating aquatic inhabitants. It is quite possible to choose such narrow directions as:

• beach theme (any beach accessories are used);
• bungalow (like a kitchen in a house standing on the water);
• purely fishing orientation (kitchen for a fisherman);
• ship style interior design.

The floor in the kitchen can be finished with wood and resemble a deck or cabin. For this, a parquet board or such an economical option as a laminate is ideal. Wallpaper is often chosen for the walls - they can be with a three-dimensional image of sea waves or other textures on a marine theme.

Particular attention should be paid to the kitchen apron - it can be made of ordinary tiles (usually mosaic tiles) or glass with photo printing. In the latter case, the image of the water element is selected.

In the living room, it is best to use furniture trimmed with blue and white striped fabric. It is allowed to use a variety of decorative pillows with the application of fish, bubbles, waves, shells. It is desirable that interior items be exclusively made of natural wood, and products are often specially aged. By the way, it is in the living room that the place for a large backlit aquarium is right.

DIY marine style

The marine interior can be thought out and done with your own hands, in particular, you can make the bulk of the decor elements. Of course, you won’t be able to come up with everything yourself, you will have to peep interesting solutions from designers. It is quite possible to sew pillows and bedspreads yourself, as well as fill transparent vases with seafood and various pebbles. You can make a panel of multi-colored stones with a picture or an inscription. It is better to collect stones from the banks of rivers or lakes if there is no sea nearby. This will help save the budget and decorate your home more uniquely.

Nail design

Nautical decor in the interior allows you to take photo shoots without leaving your home. You just need to dress appropriately, do your hair, make-up and manicure with nail design in a marine style. Now it is fashionable to use different patterns on each nail. Accordingly, the design of nails in this style implies the above basic colors and their varieties, as well as a strip (wide, narrow, solid or partial). In addition to the strip, you can use the appropriate colors in a single color.

Nautical nail design uses designs that match the theme: anchors, stars, fish, waves, dolphins. It is easier to apply images through stencils, although special nail stickers are on sale today. In this case, you can also use rhinestones and sparkles.

This nail design will complete the image of a woman who likes a marine style. Gel coating will allow you to enjoy the masterpiece on your hands longer.

The nautical theme will never go out of style. Now it is already a classic in the design of both apartments and cottages. Surprise guests in this case can only be author's ideas and original performance. An important role in this matter is played by the presence of things of own production (hand-made).

This style promotes composure, organization and accuracy. It is important to instill such qualities in the younger generation. As a minus, one can only note the unacceptability of things that do not correspond to the marine theme in the interior, especially family heirlooms.
