Nautical Themes Raise the Flag on Summer
Updating your décor is as easy as adding a few simple touches inspired by life on the sea. Keep your touches light or turn your living room into the captain’s cabin – you simply can’t go overboard on this trend!
Join the Navy
Navy blue is a bold neutral. It can be sophisticated, quirky or traditional – the choice is yours! Update your décor with vertical stripes on your pillows for a hint of this trend or commit all the way with floor to ceiling curtains featuring this timeless color.
Glittering Gold, Brilliant Bronze
Dazzle your guests with a touch of gold or bronze! Accents like lamp bases, gilded picture frames and knickknacks – especially anchors or sailboats – and add some seaside charm to the room. For higher impact, a bronze bed frame or oversized piece of art will raise your home’s flair level by more than a few knots.
Rope It In
Nothing says sailor style like a little rope. You can make a statement with this humble material by wrapping a few glass votives with a length and securing with glue, or you can show your skills at tying a couple of figure 8s or square knots to display in a shadowbox.
