Nautical & Nice

At last summer is here, and as warmer weather approaches, many of us are salivating at the prospect of a sunny, seaside getaway. Although you might find it difficult to spend all your time at the beach trying to enjoy a balmy breeze and sand between your toes, bringing the feeling of a sunny oasis by decorating your home with an elegant and airy nautical theme can make you feel closer to paradise all year round. Here are some helpful tips for achieving this design.

I have always loved the colurings of the beach shoreline, it’s simple and marked by deep blues, stark white, soft beige and stone grey, and can bring a feeling of wellbeing by its very simplicity. Bright pinks, lime greens and luminous oranges have no place in this palate and would be both distracting and tacky. For a timeless and sophisticated design, choose natural nautical colours over bold garish ones.
