Features of the sea style in the interior( general)
Light, unobtrusive, fresh, romantic - it is these epithets that perfectly characterize the naval style. In the design of interiors it is used increasingly, for which there are a number of reasons.

- mainly white-blue color scheme;
- "sea" decor - seashells, ropes, canvas;
- an abundance of textiles;
- active use of strips in the interior( recall about vests).
Characteristic colors for the marine style
The marine style is certainly white and numerous shades of blue. On their contrast, most often based interior decoration, but often there is a design based on a sand or light beige color. In such a palette, red, green, orange impregnations will be superfluous. Usually they create favorable accents, enliven the room, recalling the paradise islands with their bright colors.
The rooms, almost completely finished with wood, can simulate the cabin of the ship and there the blue color can be seen only in the accessories, but there will be enough brown.
Marine style in the interior of furniture
Furniture should be as simple as possible and look like it was recently built from old boxes. Yes, yes, easy aging is only welcomed. Use the simplest forms and discard fanciful elements on the surface of the products. Wicker furniture made of bamboo or rattan will be appropriate. She relaxes and sets on a romantic mood. In maritime interiors you can often find interesting stylized items: chest table, barrel-barrel, etc.
Decor
Everything that has to do with the sea - to work! Photo frames in the form of a steering wheel, yes there - the steering wheel itself will decorate the wall. In transparent vases or bowls, on the coffee table and on the shelves can lie a variety of seashells. However, do not store everything there, choose the most colorful and interesting. Figurines, each with its own history, will also take their places on the shelves and chest of drawers.
Hang a fishing net on a wall or staircase between floors, if any. Ropes can replace skirting boards or be used for tightening furniture. Original marine nodes of them, placed under glass and hung on the wall as pictures, look original. Do not forget about textiles. These are cloaks and covers for furniture, light curtains that do not interfere with the movement of air from the window, rugs. Organically fit into the interior of a little rough fabrics - linen, matting.
Please note: it's easy to choose a decor for this style, there are many options, but do not try to fit them all within one room. Give preference to the most expressive and appropriate for the color scheme elements.

- Walls. You have a choice between textured paint, wooden lining, board or deliberately rough plaster applied. On the cover of the walls there should be no drawings and any ornaments, except for decorating with their cards or their depicting wallpaper. If the floor-to-ceiling floor paneling seems unnecessary, then combine it with one of the above materials.

Construction of a house in a marine style
As such, there is no sea style in the world architecture, but it is in Portugal, where it is called Manueline. This architectural solution appeared at the end of the XV century and absorbed the spirit of sea adventures, travel to distant countries and concomitant exotics. The facades of the buildings are decorated with columns, "entwined" of ropes, stucco anchors, steering wheels, interlacing of strange plants, etc.
Of course, individual residential construction in this style is impossible, but you can easily borrow thematic elements. For partial decoration of the facade, you can use a rough stone with numerous faces or similar to pebbles. For the base is fine plaster or paint. The background should be flat, and then decorative elements will look good on it. An interesting solution will be the external framing of window openings with a thick rope.
You can choose: for a house in the style of a beacon beaten by the seas and years of lighthouse - rough and aged facade stone, for imitation of the ship's hull dark wood will suit. If you want to confine yourself to a light touch of nautical themes, then use a light façade plaster, against which background marine accessories will be favorably highlighted. And do not forget about the round windows!
Do not be afraid to experiment with style features. It's not enough, in which countries you have visited or are dreaming to visit. Perhaps your guests will hear more than one outlandish story about how the project of an unusual house was born.
