The so-called “nautical” style is a classic choice that evokes the sea and summer, giving a space a sense of relaxation and familiarity.
In our minds, the nautical (or navy) style is inseparable from shades of blue. This colour has a way of conveying sophisticated elegance and freshness.
This style can be applied in many rooms of the house, from the living room and bedroom to the bathroom or the veranda.
How can you experiment with the nautical style?
• By choosing dark blue for the walls and combining it with white furniture, creating a classic contrast that is ideal for traditional homes or homes in a shabby chic style.
• By using nautical stripes in blue and white, red and white and so on, on the walls as well as on curtains, linens, cushions and the like.
By using sea-themed decorative elements or nautical accessories.
Looking at spaces decorated in “navy style”, you realise that the nautical look can be achieved in many different ways. It always depends on how “strong” you want the nautical element to be.
So, sometimes a few subtle touches and accessories are enough…
At other times… the nautical style becomes an “all-out” choice!
