Remember that last vacation at the beach? It’s easy to bring those memories home with nautical style decorating. A nautical interior is one that’s reminiscent of ships, sails, and ocean sunsets. And if you’re someone who loves the beach, a nautical home — or even a single room filled with nautical decor — offers a relaxing break from the outside world. Use these four tips to get started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Begin With Nautical Theme Lighting<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lighting is an important consideration when you’re trying to recreate an outdoor feeling in an indoor space. Natural light is a great place to begin, so if your space features windows with heavy, room-darkening treatments, nix them and let the sun shine through. Consider using a big window as a display space for a gorgeous model ship or some wayfaring tools such as spy glasses, sextants, or a ship’s bell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For dark corners or spaces that lack natural light, a ship-themed chandelier or wall-mounted lanterns will highlight your nautical interior.<\/p>\n\n\n

2. Consider Adding One or More Model Ships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You’ll find a model ship for sale<\/a> in all sizes, from miniature to extra-large. Consider collecting several in different scales and displaying them on open shelving, in bookcases, or inside a glass-paneled curio cabinet. Display your collections in small groupings for added drama. <\/p>\n\n\n

3. Bring In Nautical-Themed Accessories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nautical-colored rugs, weather vanes, tide clocks, and wooden oars all make beautiful decor. And when displayed sparingly in your space, they can lend your room that seaside mood you crave without appearing cluttered. Choose one or two larger pieces as conversation starters, and add a few smaller pieces to fill in. Good options include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
