The moment the sun begins to shine brightly, we are all inclined to go to the seashore. After all, there is seldom a pleasure like reveling in the lushness of the waves and the balmy breeze. However, we don’t really need to go to the sea. In fact, with all the new ideas for that perfect nautical look, we can bring the beach right into our home. How? You ask! Well, all you need is a creative mind, some inspiration, and probably a couple of colors of tempera paint and you’re all set. As far as ideas go, we’ve got you covered!
paint it nautical
Whether it’s in your bedroom or on your patio, whatever you want to go nautical with, you can always use tempera paint colors to give walls an authentic appeal. While you can use one blue wall and keep the other walls white, you can go for a large anchor print on the wall right behind your bed. This will help you keep things simple but flattering. And yes, make sure you choose the best quality wall colors as you don’t want them to come off in a year or so. In fact, make sure that before you paint the walls, you create a solid base for the paint with a high-quality acrylic putty.
rope up
Yes, we are talking about the strong yet attractive jute twine rope. From pulling one along the stairs to hanging your robes and towels on them, put this humble accessory to good use. In fact, you can go all out by making sure your tablecloths and doormats are made from these too. Considering the relationship between low expense and high utility, this idea is clearly a win-win.
go to the marina
From sheets to curtains, you can choose marine prints to match your primitive look created with ropes. If you don’t want to pick up patterns, you can always go for the classic white and blue stripes. And while you’re at it, it would be a great idea to hang a sailor suit on an empty wall. It will not only accentuate your subject, but also act as an artifact.
Switch it on
You can opt for lanterns in assorted shapes or simply suspend similar ones at different lengths to achieve that raw look. This will work especially well for your patio. To amplify the decoration, you can place a wreath somewhere around it or simply place an old wooden ladder.
Now that you know what to do and how, we’re sure you’ll get the perfect look! So don’t wait any longer, get going with this crazy idea and make the most of your creative side!
