White is the main color of the sea interior, and if it was used correctly, the room can have a fascinating appearance precisely because of the simplicity of this color. If asceticism is not particularly appealing, add khaki, beige, cream.

Tip: Use matte surfaces. Sea gloss design does not like.

Your soul requires more bright colors; make a tropical coast in your house that requires orange, lime colors and a turquoise sea. Or add coral tones. The main thing is to decide at once which image you want to see and do not mix both the sea vest and the exotic.

Natural materials from which furniture, carpeting, accessories can be made can add texture and warmth to the room design. A sense of proportion is a must. Wicker chairs and a table, standing on a carpet of coarse fiber will be overkill. And the same chair next to the table will perfectly fit into the interior as well as knots of ropes on the panels or handrails.

Wooden surfaces should look like they were in seawater and then faded into the sun: a little dilapidated and decrepit. Light breeds, an ash-tree, a bamboo, a maple are used. Exotic materials will fit in rooms decorated in a tropical style.

The apartment, decorated in maritime style should be spacious, open air flow. Do not force it with lots of furniture or accessories. If there is an opportunity to bring enough funds into the design, make redevelopment, remove some doors, walls, where it is possible.

Go through shells, pebbles and other trifles that were brought from travels. Select the most worthy copies and add sea accents to the rooms. A couple of stars, a few seashells, and maybe that same piece of tree thrown on the shore is the right reference point.

Tip: You can allocate a separate shelf or cabinet for souvenirs, if there are many reminders, but do not arrange them throughout the room. If these items are missing, hang pictures and pictures of seascapes, ships, and the like on the walls.

Room design

When making a living room, two principles should be observed: remember the main purpose of this room and gently beat the topic. To do this, you need to correctly choose how to finish the surfaces and do not make a mistake when choosing decorations. The main wishes are as follows:

• Light ceiling, and can be suspended.
• The flooring is of a neutral color (carpet or wooden boards).
• Special emphasis on the walls (paint them in a blue or azure tone or paste over the wallpaper in the same range).
• Simple natural furniture.
• Decor items should not overload the interior, but clearly speak about the subject of design. A desirable interior in such a living room will be an aquarium with live fish, models of ships, a model of an anchor, and the like.

Large bedroom matt furniture, leather chests, wicker baskets, chairs, bamboo blinds, bedding with pictures on the marine theme will be suitable for the bedroom. The result should be a light atmosphere, not overloaded with decorative elements. Instead of blinds, you can use blue curtains, and in order to achieve the effect of excitement at sea, you can slightly dampen them. Dominant blue can be diluted with a shade of red.
