Nautical decor is a favorite trend in home decor. Vibrant hues of cerulean blue, sandy whites and beige, airy spaces, and casual footwear: sometimes the beach is the best place from which we can gather our decoration inspiration. Now if you’re lucky enough to live on the beach or near a lake, you’ll love these ideas for nautical decor. And if you’re land-locked, you’ll still love these ideas.
Here are some ideas to incorporate nautical decor into your home, even if you don’t live near the beach.
Accessories
One of the easiest ways to incorporate nautical decor into your home is with a few accessories. If you like to collect shells, starfish and sand from the beach, you can store store those in various glass jars anywhere in your home. Pair your sand jars with one of these beach kaleidoscopes. They’re handcrafted with natural seashore elements and designed to evoke memories of summer days at the beach. Each piece is signed by the artist. Different sizes and shapes are available. Custom Wedding Kaleidoscopes are also available by contacting the artist directly, christinahomedesigns.com.
This particular beach seascape would add just the right touch of nautical decor on a patio table or in a window sill.
Linens
Linens are another easy way to incorporate nautical decor into your home. We’re talking easy pieces like throws and pillows. Toss a few pillows onto your sofa and drape throws with a nautical theme over your accent chairs or your bed. It’s the perfect accent for your coastal cottage, beach house, or apartment in the city.
Another great option is this whale of a pillow. It will look lovely on your couch, sofa or bed. Plus, you can use it outdoors on your hammock or patio bench, since this fabric is stain-resistant and sunlight-resistant.
DIYs
Now, we love a good DIY. And in addition to throws, pillows and a few beach kaleidoscopes, some DIY nautical decor will add a handmade touch. Here are a few of our favorites.
