If this style suits you, then after relaxing in this room you will feel a charge of vivacity, freshness and a surge of energy. The more shades you use when decorating, the more interesting the interior will look. Further you can look at a photo of a bedroom in a marine style.
Features of the marine style
The term “marine” is a very conventional concept. A classic or modern interior can be used in the bedroom, but at the same time, decor elements should talk about the sea.
This means that you will need to choose a leading style and complement it with interesting details on the theme of the sea.
You can take as a basis such styles as:
- Mediterranean;
- country;
- rustic.
After the room is decorated in one of these styles, you can proceed to the decor in a nautical theme.
Optimal color palette
For most of us, the interior of the bedroom in a marine style is associated with blue and blue colors. In fact, the palette for the design is very large. Do not dwell only on these shades. The nautical-style bedroom has many colors.
Marine style is not only the sea and the blue-blue range. There are also orange tones of coral, which elegantly set off a pale blue hue. A varied palette of sand shades: from white to the color of burnt sugar. Shades of dark oak are also suitable here, which will remind you of sunken ships somewhere in the depths of the sea. Dark blue, almost black color will be associated with unknown depths. Also do not forget about the green tones of algae. Here, not very bright blurry shades of green are appropriate: from watercolor light green to rich olive. But with green tones you need to be careful. Nevertheless, this color is not leading in the design of a bedroom in a marine style. Separate inclusions may be small accessories in yellow tones. But they also should not be many.
The choice of finishing materials
You think about what decorative materials to use when making? Try to pick natural ones. What can be used? Fit here:
- natural wallpaper from jute or bamboo;
- eco-linoleum;
- parquet board;
- solid wood plank;
- wooden lining;
- wicker carpet;
- plastic panels with an unusual texture that will resemble waves or clouds.
The latter you will most likely have to be painted in one of the heavenly shades. Also, fragments of facing stone, shells, sea pebbles can be used as decor.
If you chose classic style or minimalism for decoration, you can simply paint the walls. If they are not very even, you will first have to sheathe them with drywall.
Do you want to create a bedroom in a marine style with your own hands? You can paint the walls and draw a seascape on one of them. For example, a beautiful lighthouse, rocks, waves that beat against them. In the interior of a children's bedroom in a marine style, you can use pirate-themed themes or depict an illustration for the work “Scarlet Sails”. Naturally, the designer must have good drawing skills to fulfill this idea.
Just as in the children's and adult bedrooms, you can use beautiful murals that can depict the seabed with its outlandish inhabitants or the tropical forest on the ocean. Also for the children's room, you can pick up wallpapers with small shells, fish, pebbles.
Finish options
To create a special atmosphere in the interior, you need to abandon artificial materials. Do not put ordinary linoleum or carpet on the floor. It is better to put bleached boards, a laminate with the texture of natural wood under your feet, or make the floor from painted planks. Ash, bamboo, oak are perfect.
On the walls decorative stucco with interspersed shells will look very good. The ceiling can be any. You can even whiten it. If height allows, you can decorate it with beams. Now it is not necessary to use heavy wooden beams, but you can use the imitation in the form of a foam decor with extruded wood texture. A high ceiling can also be made multi-level. Such differences will resemble a cabin on a ship.
Now let's move on to the door. It is advisable to make them wooden, dark and heavy. Naturally, we are talking about the visual effect. If there is such an opportunity, then a small round window can be inserted into the door. The idea is more suitable for a nursery, because it is still better to put a blank door into an adult room. If you really liked the idea with the window, then you can order it with opaque glass or stained glass.
Marine style furnishings
The best decor and item for storing things in a bedroom in a marine style, of course, will be a real pirate chest or its semblance. A table with a thick glass worktop on solid wooden legs fits well into the interior. It is advisable to use a bed made of dark wood. It is good if all the pieces of furniture are slightly aged. You can also search for real antiques at flea markets or familiar dachas. They will need to be put in order and give the whole furniture a uniform style.
Also forged items look good in the interior of the bedroom in a marine style. It can be the head of the bed, a tall candlestick that will stand on the floor, a chandelier with imitation of candles instead of light bulbs. On the wall above the bed you can place a panel with a rope tied with a nautical knot.
Textile
Do not hang heavy curtains on windows. An excellent solution would be natural cotton, linen, organza, light corduroy. When you let fresh air into the house, such curtains will develop, like sails. At the same time, due to their translucency, they will create a barrier to sunlight. Curtains should be light. In this case, a blue or black stripe is permissible. An excellent solution would be snow-white blinds on the windows. Better if they are wooden. With their help, it will be possible to create an intimate atmosphere and romance in the bedroom of a married couple.
Lovely heart trinkets
Every thing here should be in its place. It is not necessary to pull off all the decorative elements that you will find on store shelves or while traveling in such an interior. Remember that marine style requires a maximum of space, so everything that you “settle” in this room should fit perfectly into the interior. If in doubt about any thing, it is better to remove it.
As a decor, you can use:
- model ship in a bottle;
- the helm of a real yacht or a small copy;
- maps and globes;
- French jugs for wine;
- seashell photo frames or topiary;
- fishing nets.
If you want to place fresh flowers in the room, then it is desirable that they have large leaves. It is better to choose exotic plants. An ordinary violet will look a little strange here.
