Do you like boat trips?
Today I want to tell you about a style related to them and very much in tune with summer: it is navy, marine, or nautical decoration. How do you tell him?
This style is a fashion classic that was carried over to interior design. But did you know that the sailors’ uniform inspires by the Victorian era?
Returning to deco, the marine style provokes the emotions we usually associate with the sea and vacations: serenity, relaxation, and a touch of fun. For this reason, it is so common to see it in second homes, although some choose it for their home to feel close to the beach all year round.
It’s time to raise the sails! ⛵
I will teach you how to recreate a NAVY decoration like a professional in this virtual trip. Shall we start?
- Colors: blue predominates in this palette and, to a lesser extent, white, beige, or light grey. You can achieve different effects depending on the shades of blue you use. For example, intense blue is associated with elegance and sobriety, indigo with the Mediterranean, and turquoise with the fresh and tropical.
- Furniture: it must be rustic and in light tones so that the light is reflected and the feeling of peace and spaciousness is generated. You can also use other types of furniture, as long as it is simple and comfortable. Do not forget that this decoration invites you to rest.
- Prints: if something identifies the marine style, it is the blue and white stripes. The wider, the better! They are used in curtains, cushions, sofas, rugs, bedding, and sometimes on walls. By the way, I take this opportunity to tell you that there is a more modern version of the navy in which geometric patterns or marine motifs are used. Could you take a look at them too?
- Materials: as in the old boats, wood reigns. You could also use natural fibers in light tones: wicker, sisal, or rattan. This is super summery! For the fabrics, I recommend fresh and natural ones, such as linen and cotton. Now, if you decide to use this style at another time of the year, you have to keep the typical navy colors and adapt the textures to the season.
- Accessories: think of items related to the sea and boats. For example, rudders, anchors, lifebuoys, ropes, marine animals 🐟… Place them on the walls, centerpieces, or other strategic places as decorations.
This is one of the most fun parts of decorating, so take the time to enjoy it.
Formula to create a classic navy deco:
Furniture and walls in light tones + textiles and accessories in blue + details in red or yellow.
Undoubtedly, the navy decoration awakens the imagination and invites us to put on our swimsuits… Many believe it looks like something out of a movie, a sailboat, or a hotel by the sea 🌊.
But, hey! That exact thematic nature makes some people give up this decoration or prefer to leave it for specific places in the house (children’s room or terrace) because they fear getting tired very quickly. Remember that, in the end, everything will depend on your personality.
I only ask you something: if you like this style, do not stay with the desire! It is beautiful, bright, and much more versatile than it seems since, if the correct elements are used, it can be recreated from a classic and sophisticated navy to a boho and tropical one.
