Furniture in a marine style: selection features, options for the nursery

Each home design meets certain requirements for both colors and furniture. In this article we will talk about what criteria should be met by furniture in a nautical style.

Furniture requirements

If the owner of the house wants to decorate it in a nautical style, he must understand that some materials do not correspond to him at all. Glass tables, plastic items are absolutely inappropriate. Also, it is hardly worth using stone-faced furniture. The ship is not a place for fancy and fragile items.

Furniture in a nautical style is made mainly of wood, wicker is also appropriate. It is characterized by dark blue, turquoise, blue, emerald, beige and brown colors.

Textiles are best suited for upholstery. It must be natural. Synthetic fabrics emphasize the cheapness of the furnishings and somewhat spoil the interior. But at the same time, natural fabric should be rough, which, as it were, emphasizes the simplicity and aesthetics of sailor life. Corduroy, cotton, or linen work best.

You can even style the bedroom as a cockpit by hanging a couple of hammocks. And metal decorative elements, especially forged ones, will give the atmosphere a special chic.

Children's furniture for a boy in a marine style

Early adolescence (10-12 years old) is a romantic time. The boys at this time read the novels of Jules Verne, Daniel Defoe, Konstantin Mikhailovich Stanyukovich. Not all of them, of course - some are on social media. But, as a rule, children of this age like everything that is connected with the sea and the life of sailors.

That's why furniture in marine style children will accept it with pleasure. They like original items by nature. And if the boy in the room will stand ship porthole mirror, a wooden steering wheel, and instead of the usual bed will hang on the ropes hammockimitating a sailor's "lyulya" (hanging bed on a ship), the delight of the child at first will not have a limit. However, it is better to acquire the last element after consulting a pediatrician, especially if the child is tossing and turning in a dream from side to side.

For storing personal clothes and small things, not a closet will look more original, but boxlike Billy Bons. On the wall, you can hang a rope ladder that imitates the shrouds (the ladder along which the sailors climbed the mast to the sails). Additionally, you can decorate the walls with all kinds of compasses, marine clocks, binoculars and telescopes.

Models of ships made of plastic or wood look beautiful on the shelves. They can be purchased in model stores, but you need to be prepared for the fact that high-quality products will be expensive - you will have to pay several thousand rubles for each of them. It will be better if the child makes models of ships himself. Such an activity is very conducive to both physical and intellectual development. Build kits can also be purchased at any store. As a platform for modeling, a good flat table made of boards is suitable.

Furniture is the most important part of the interior in a nautical style. If any large piece of furniture does not meet its requirements, the visual effect will be seriously damaged. Therefore, it would be nice to coordinate the interior design with an experienced designer in this area.
