"I graduated from the Polytechnic of Milan in 2002 and until 2015, Architecture and interior design were my profession. I followed the construction of prestigious seaside villas, city homes from large lofts and very organized studios. Space management has always been an exciting challenge for me. Today, when I design an object made with recycled sails, I put its functionality in the foreground, enhancing it with a new and sustainable aesthetic." |
In this article, I will show you how to decorate your home in a nautical style . From the classic contrast of blue and white, to the use of natural materials and accessories that recall the beach, you will discover how to transform the space in which you live into a place that will always make you feel on vacation.
What is nautical style?
The nautical style draws inspiration from the beauty of the sea and the serenity of coastal life. It is characterized by its ability to evoke a calm and relaxed atmosphere, bringing the magic of the waves and the scent of the sea directly into domestic spaces.
Dominated by shades of blue and white, this style is distinguished by a sober and functional design and the use of natural materials.
Decorating in a nautical style means bringing the beauty of the sea into your home, transforming every room into a welcoming refuge, where you can always feel like you're on vacation.
Elements that characterize the nautical style
Nautical decor is characterized by the use of shades that recall the sea, such as blue and white, accompanied by natural materials, such as wood and linen. Decorative elements include nautical motifs, stripes and accessories inspired by coastal life, such as anchors and ropes.
These details create a relaxing and fresh atmosphere and evoke, in every room, the serenity and beauty of the sea.
The colors of the sea
Colors play a fundamental role in creating the relaxing and welcoming atmosphere typical of coastal environments.
The predominant shades of nautical-style furniture are white, which gives brightness, and navy blue, which recalls the deep waters of the ocean.
These colors can be accompanied by neutral tones, such as cream, ivory and beige, which give warmth and softness to the spaces, and by pastel shades, such as light blue, which recalls the shades of the sea and the sky.
To give a touch of character to the room, without compromising the overall effect, you can also add red accents to paintings and cushions.
Natural materials
Thanks to their ability to infuse freshness and comfort into spaces, wood, linen, cotton, bamboo, jute and rattan are the materials you should choose if you want to furnish your home in a nautical style.
The use of natural materials is fundamental. Bleached wood, for example, with its light shades and visible texture, brings to mind the wood of boats and seaside houses. Rattan is also perfect for giving seats and accessories a fresh and informal look.
Prints and patterns
When it comes to nautical decor, prints and patterns play a huge role in evoking the coastal vibe.
The iconic blue and white or red and white stripes are a must in this style. There are also several thematic motifs to choose from, such as anchors, ropes, lighthouses, seagulls, boats and life jackets.
Accessories
For those who want to furnish their home in a nautical style, accessories also play a fundamental role and add that finishing touch that can transform a room into a true coastal refuge.
I am thinking, for example, of old sailing ships, drawings of boats, nautical knots, decorative anchors, barometers and lanterns.
To maintain balance, I recommend choosing a few elements and not overloading the spaces with too many details.
