Marine style in the interior of the house makes the space airy, free, functional. Previously, the interior of a country house in a marine style was considered aerobatics; today, urban apartments are also decorated in this style.
Any room can be decorated in a marine theme. This does not require complex items. Space can easily be transformed into a paradise of the Mediterranean. Anyone can afford such a design, regardless of the state of his finances.
Marine subjects can be seen in modern apartments quite clearly. Any person entering such a room will immediately understand the stylistic idea, and all because the design has bright distinctive characteristics.
The interior is executed in blue, white and brown cold tones. Blue gamma can have many tones: from blue to turquoise. White color is most often used in its pure form, sometimes beige, milk, caramel shades are acceptable.
The marine interior is built on contrasting colors. Pastel shades combine with rich blue, brown, dark green and purple.
Some designers use warm shades to create a space in the theme of the underwater world. Elements are made in red, yellow, creamy colors. The interior in a marine style does not tolerate a complex, multi-component color scheme.
Water motives should not overload the room. She must remain airy. In a small room, a minimum of detail is applied. For the standard room, one primary color is used, which is complemented by a contrasting shade and a pair of bright details.
It is optimal to use materials and objects made of natural wood, cork, stone, etc. in the design of a house. For children's rooms you can use hemp, canvas materials, sandstone.
Water motifs are recognizable thanks to their patterns. Rooms with this design are decorated with striped wallpaper or wallpaper with drawings of anchors, waves, clouds. Sometimes patterns combine with each other. For a small room, it is better to choose one basic pattern.
Furniture for rooms is selected from solid wood, the seats of armchairs and sofas are covered with canvas, linen, cotton fabric or matting. The situation should be concise. To maintain the theme, they use low furniture, reminiscent of ship furniture.
Sometimes in the design you can find rattan furniture, which helps to recreate the atmosphere of the southern resorts in the apartment.
Items of this subject are often made manually.
Which rooms are suitable
Any room can be decorated in a marine style, but bathrooms or children’s look most advantageous. Sometimes so decorate the bedrooms and living rooms.
To design a room, you need to choose a special color scheme and the right furniture. The interior includes marine themes: shells, anchors, sandstone. The curtains in the room should be translucent, and the tulle - weightless. Wooden blinds are installed on the window. They are decorated with shells. Wall murals with the image of ships, palm trees or the ocean are glued to one of the walls. The room focuses on the ceiling. It can be not just white and stretch, designers offer monophonic blue ceilings or white ceilings with painted clouds.
We advise you not to overload the interior, applying many colors and solutions at the same time.
Color combinations
To design a room, you should adhere to a blue-white palette, diluting it with natural materials from wood. At first glance, such a design may seem simple, but it is not. The room must be in harmony.
From year to year, the fashion for shades of blue is changing. Recently, designers have focused on light, blue shades. The marine interior is classic, which implies the obligatory use of a dark blue color called navy (marine). This shade is deep and calm enough. Marine design involves using this color when decorating windows or as a headset upholstery. Cushions, carpets look original in this color.
When decorating the walls combine several colors. For example, contrasting striped wallpaper is glued. The pasted wall is used as a color spot for accessories. The room for the child should be fun, so it is diluted with colored elements, shells. In such a room make orange or red details.You can create your own decor.
Some designers oppose the use of black shades when decorating a home. Black color destroys an airy marine design.
Recently, the interior in a marine style is diluted with beige tones. Warm shades: milk, caramel, ecru enrich the interior, make it calm, warm and serene.
In the living room
The apartment should be made in a single style. The rooms should not contradict each other in design. The living room should be decorated in a marine style, if the general view of the apartment is close to Mediterranean standards.
When decorating the living room, we advise you to consider which side the windows face. For marine style, rooms with a view to the south or west are selected. In such rooms it is always bright and sunny. The northern side is considered more gloomy, as a result of which the theme of the sea or ocean does not look cheerful.
In sunny rooms, the cold color scheme will sparkle with new colors, giving the room a feeling of airiness and coolness. The use of white and blue tones as basic, properly selected natural furniture and accessories will make the living room original. Decor helps stylistically complete the image of the room.
Furniture
We advise you to properly furnish the living room. Arrangements should be durable, high-quality and natural, like on a ship. It is necessary to consider the size of the living room. Massive furniture, for example, oak or ash, is installed in spacious rooms. To facilitate the appearance of the room, mirrors are hung in it, tables are made of glass. Rattan or bamboo furniture is installed in the small living room.
For guests placed low furniture. Rocking chairs are also installed. Instead of chests of drawers they put chests made of solid wood. Massive shelves with wrought iron elements are hung for storing books or an elegant cabinet with glass doors is installed.On shelves place accessories in the form of shells, sandstone or vessels with pebbles.
We advise you to have a minimum of furniture. Moreover, it must be natural. The flooring of such a room is best made from wide natural boards resembling ship floors.
Wall decoration and lighting
The walls of the living room are lined with lining or trimmed with decorative caramel-colored plaster. Designers recommend a light ceiling in the living room. It can be suspended, pulled, made multi-level, but it should be light and low, as in a ship cabin. To support the theme of the sea, it is necessary to install a lamp in the same style. It can be made in the form of an anchor decorated with shells or a helm.
The living room should be light. In the dark, the room should be well lit with a large number of LED lamps or multi-level lighting. In addition, the walls can be decorated with sconces or wall lights decorated with artificial pearls or natural shells. In the reading area, you can install a floor lamp in the form of a deck lamp.
Decor
In the living room you can put an aquarium. At the bottom are a model of a sunken ship and pirate treasures. Instead of a sunken ship in the aquarium, you can place a reef decoration with many corals, colorful pebbles and algae. In a large living room, a model of a real ship is often suspended from the ceiling in reduced sizes.
When decorating the living room, one of the walls is decorated with murals depicting the sea. If desired, madder is hung on the walls. Many decorate the walls with home-made panels of natural shells, pebbles or macrame products. Marine decor brings originality to the room.
The design looks original if you hang a wall clock made in the form of a ship steering wheel or a life buoy. Fans of traveling should complement the interior of the house with a world map or a globe.
On jugs or shelves place vine jugs braided by a vine or heavy vases made of clay. Elements having details from a rope organically fit into the interior. The living room can be decorated with topiary. If desired, the interior is diluted with living plants such as ficus, creepers, yuccas, which are placed in pots directly on the floor.
Textile
Textiles in the living room should be light and airy. It is better to give preference to white or blue. Fabrics incorporating metallized threads look advantageous. They play in the sun like overflows of the sea. For the design of the living room, yellow is acceptable. However, it must be dosed. Yellow sofa cushions look appropriate and remind of citrus. The living room harmoniously looks turquoise textiles.
Windows are best decorated with natural fabrics. Heavy curtains made of linen, combined with a light organza veil, look beautiful. With the help of correctly selected curtains, you can create a real ship sail. The living room decorated with a real fishing net looks exotic.
In the bedroom
Not everyone can afford a house by the sea. We suggest you design a bedroom in a marine theme, so that before going to bed you can dream of distant wanderings.
The bedroom should not be oversaturated with details. The color palette should contribute to relaxation and serenity. The design of the bedroom focuses on color and patterns.
The sea may be different. Some see it as a wide space and a relaxed vacation among white sand and tall palm trees. For others, the sea is associated with treasure hunts and pirates. The interior is chosen based on his vision.
The bedroom is decorated with solid wood, natural stone, shells and textiles. A parquet board or a blue carpet is laid on the floor. The first creates the feeling of a walk on the ship deck. In the second case, the bedroom "sinks" to the bottom of the sea.
Walls
For the decoration of the walls, white painted wood panels are chosen. You can plaster the walls using accessories such as pebbles or shells. To decorate the walls, you should hang paintings by marine painters or stick murals.
The classic solution for decorating walls is the use of striped wallpaper. More often blue-white stripes alternate with each other. Modern design is gradually moving away from the usual classics. Today, wallpaper with a wave-like pattern is glued.
The interior of the bedroom should be supported by natural colors. To make it more vibrant, use bright spots. This must be done carefully so as not to lose the room, since the bedroom is a resting place. For bright spots it is permissible to use juicy, sunny shades.
Decor
For the design of the bedroom, they select the right furniture and decor. The bedroom should be designed in the same style. For home decor use wooden or textile materials.
An excellent solution is aged furniture. Additional elements such as a map, a steering wheel watch, a chest contribute to maintaining the style. The mirror in the bedroom is decorated with your own hands through twine or rope. Table lamps in the form of lanterns, sinks on the tables - all this brings a note of adventure.
The windows of the bedroom are decorated with canvas, linen curtains, cotton curtains. They are beautifully tied in nautical knots. The bed is covered with blue, striped or anchored bedding. Sometimes a red bed set is allowed. The bedroom is the place where you can go too far with the elements. In design, you need to adhere to the rule - the simpler the better.
On the kitchen
There is an opinion that the marine theme is good only for bathrooms and children's rooms. However, it is suitable for the design of kitchens. Kitchens in this style look original and fresh.
The kitchen can be stylized as:
wardroom;
galley;
shore;
bottom;
sand beach;
yacht or schooner of the fisherman;
villa by the sea, etc.
The decor of the room must be created carefully, since busting with details is fraught with a desire for change and discontent. It is better to use a few details that will be bright accents.
The interior design called the “fisherman’s schooner” is based on the use of nets, rough dining furniture, antique items, open wooden shelves, ropes. This interior can be transformed into a "villa by the sea", if you hide the nets and ropes, but hang a light tulle, and put pots with indoor plants and interior items on the windows. A rough table is covered with a beautiful tablecloth, and cute pillows are thrown onto the benches. The interchangeable interior never bothers, but can change the kitchen beyond recognition without labor and repair.
Kitchen combined with living room
If the kitchen is combined with the living room, then there is more space for imagination. In any case, such rooms require wicker chests and baskets, rattan furniture, chairs with decorative pillows. In the kitchen combined with the living room, the massive dark wood table looks original. Both a rough bench and chairs with high backs, on which blue covers are worn, are suitable for the table.
The walls of the combined areas are decorated with wallpaper and wood panels so that everything fits in a natural way. The wallpaper is suitable for the living area, and the kitchen is fitted with wood panels. A carpet with a thick pile may lie on the floor.

A piece of the sea in the nursery
Children's in a marine style does not lose relevance over a long period. In the nursery, the child feels cozy and comfortable. Thanks to the style, the room maintains a summer mood throughout the year. To make a nursery, it does not require a lot of money. The main thing is to follow the advice of designers and rely on your imagination.
When registering, the gender of the child is taken into account, since the nursery for the boy is different from the room for the girl. For the latter, the style of the villa on the shore is suitable when there is rattan furniture in the room, and the textiles are rich in ruffles and lace. Shells and corals are used as decor. The nursery for the girl is made in pastel colors.
Male children prefer a nautical theme. Massive furniture is installed in the nurseries, and crude decorations such as anchors, mock navigational devices, etc. are chosen as the decor.When decorating the walls, they stop on striped wallpaper. Very often, parents buy a bed for the boy in the form of a ship.
Floors
The flooring in the nursery depends on the parental budget. A children's room with a wooden or cork coating looks stylish. Installation of a laminate or a parquet board is allowed. On the floor there may be a fluffy carpet of white or blue color, which will be associated with the sea. The carpet in the form of a world map looks more original. It can be made to order. With a high budget, you can install bulk floors, made in 3D design. Such floors imitate the underwater world.
The ceilings may look different. The nursery with a ceiling in the form of a cloudy or starry sky looks beautiful. This ceiling is universal and suits both a boy and a girl. To enhance the sensations of the sea, you can resort to photo printing or luminescent patterns that give out their light in the dark. It is not necessary to make the ceiling colored. Some stop on a white cover, decorating it with beautiful ceiling lights in the form of ship steering wheels or lanterns.
Walls
The walls in the nursery should be properly decorated. If the budget is small, stop on vinyl stickers with the image of underwater inhabitants. One of the walls can be pasted over with photo wallpaper or decorated with a large navigation map. Some parents prefer a more classic nursery design, choosing wallpaper of white, turquoise, caramel colors. It is important to consider the age of the child. Kids will love the images of cartoon characters. For older children, it is better to choose a decor in the form of steering wheels, palm trees, pirate treasures.
Kids love bright colors, but the marine theme does not imply the use of many bright colors. This does not mean that they are prohibited for use. Colorful elements of decor help to make the nursery more lively. They need to be used sparingly.Designers do not recommend introducing black into the nursery. It will negatively affect the psyche of the child.
Furniture
Furniture in the nursery should be relevant. It looks interesting bunk bed in the form of a ship. On the first tier the child can play, on the second tier there is a berth. You can stay on a regular bed, but pick up for her a beautiful sleeping set with an image of anchors.
The hammock suspended in the nursery looks original. A wardrobe can be installed standard, replacing accessories on the marine theme. Pens in the form of underwater inhabitants look beautiful. Chests are also placed in the nursery. A desk is complemented by a fish-shaped table lamp. For older children, you can install a built-in niche aquarium.
Textile
Curtains should support the underwater theme. In the room for the boy rope curtains effectively fastened by sea knots look spectacular. In the rooms for girls, it is better to choose air curtains with ruffles.
Accessories for the nursery can be created with your own hands. We offer to sew the flag of real pirates and decorate them with one of the walls or ceiling. Some decorate cushions or bedspreads with marine attributes. So the children's room becomes stylish and comfortable.
In the bathroom
The interior of the bathroom, decorated in a marine style, may resemble:
sand beach;
Pirates' ship;
a cabin;
underwater world.
Marine style in the bathroom involves the use of solid wood and natural stone. To design a bathroom, you need to choose the right flooring. Unusually look bulk 3D floors, recreating the underwater world. A more classic option is porcelain tiles with inserts of natural pebbles. Some choose blue mosaic tiles. When laying the floor, you can combine various textured coatings, for example, natural stone and moisture-resistant laminate.
Walls and ceilings
The bathroom can be decorated in blue and sand tones.Walls are leveled and painted with opaque monophonic paint or tiled. Marens are often installed above the bathroom. If the budget allows, you can apply relief to one of the walls and tint it with a crumb of natural stone.

The design of the room involves the use of various decor in the form of shells and starfish. Items are laid out around the perimeter of the bath. For toothbrushes and soaps they get marine accessories for the interior. So the bathroom will sparkle with new colors.
The bathroom is a small room. It is necessary to correctly place accents. If the walls are accented, we advise you to choose white plumbing. If the emphasis is on plumbing, stop at the pastel decoration of the walls.
Lighting

This light furniture allows you to relax and contributes to a romantic mood. In the rooms, stylized under the sea, you can find wooden or wicker chests, hammocks, armchairs in the form of barrels, beds in the form of ships or boats.
The rooms are not overloaded with furniture. They act on the principle - the simpler the better. If a room is equipped with standard furniture, then it is given a shade of the sea by replacing accessories or by aging some of its elements. Instead of handles, marine figures and rope elements are attached. Prefer low furniture. Sofas are covered with canvas covers. Furniture should be made of natural wood. In rare cases, you can use materials that mimic it.
Decor and accessories
The rooms decorated in marine style use photo frames decorated with shells, transparent vases with ropes, starfish and other items. However, designers are not advised to store many items in the room at the same time.

For the latter, the style of the villa on the shore is suitable when there is rattan furniture in the room, and the textiles are rich in ruffles and lace. Shells and corals are used as decor. The nursery for the girl is made in pastel colors.
Male children prefer a nautical theme. Massive furniture is installed in the nurseries, and crude decorations such as anchors, mock navigational devices, etc. are chosen as the decor.When decorating the walls, they stop on striped wallpaper. Very often, parents buy a bed for the boy in the form of a ship.
Floors
The flooring in the nursery depends on the parental budget. A children's room with a wooden or cork coating looks stylish. Installation of a laminate or a parquet board is allowed. On the floor there may be a fluffy carpet of white or blue color, which will be associated with the sea. The carpet in the form of a world map looks more original. It can be made to order. With a high budget, you can install bulk floors, made in 3D design. Such floors imitate the underwater world.
The ceilings may look different. The nursery with a ceiling in the form of a cloudy or starry sky looks beautiful. This ceiling is universal and suits both a boy and a girl. To enhance the sensations of the sea, you can resort to photo printing or luminescent patterns that give out their light in the dark. It is not necessary to make the ceiling colored. Some stop on a white cover, decorating it with beautiful ceiling lights in the form of ship steering wheels or lanterns.
Walls
The walls in the nursery should be properly decorated. If the budget is small, stop on vinyl stickers with the image of underwater inhabitants. One of the walls can be pasted over with photo wallpaper or decorated with a large navigation map. Some parents prefer a more classic nursery design, choosing wallpaper of white, turquoise, caramel colors. It is important to consider the age of the child. Kids will love the images of cartoon characters. For older children, it is better to choose a decor in the form of steering wheels, palm trees, pirate treasures.
Kids love bright colors, but the marine theme does not imply the use of many bright colors. This does not mean that they are prohibited for use. Colorful elements of decor help to make the nursery more lively. They need to be used sparingly.Designers do not recommend introducing black into the nursery. It will negatively affect the psyche of the child.
Furniture
Furniture in the nursery should be relevant. It looks interesting bunk bed in the form of a ship. On the first tier the child can play, on the second tier there is a berth. You can stay on a regular bed, but pick up for her a beautiful sleeping set with an image of anchors.
The hammock suspended in the nursery looks original. A wardrobe can be installed standard, replacing accessories on the marine theme. Pens in the form of underwater inhabitants look beautiful. Chests are also placed in the nursery. A desk is complemented by a fish-shaped table lamp. For older children, you can install a built-in niche aquarium.
Textile
Curtains should support the underwater theme. In the room for the boy rope curtains effectively fastened by sea knots look spectacular. In the rooms for girls, it is better to choose air curtains with ruffles.
Accessories for the nursery can be created with your own hands. We offer to sew the flag of real pirates and decorate them with one of the walls or ceiling. Some decorate cushions or bedspreads with marine attributes. So the children's room becomes stylish and comfortable.
In the bathroom
The interior of the bathroom, decorated in a marine style, may resemble:

Unusually look bulk 3D floors, recreating the underwater world. A more classic option is porcelain tiles with inserts of natural pebbles. Some choose blue mosaic tiles. When laying the floor, you can combine various textured coatings, for example, natural stone and moisture-resistant laminate.
Walls and ceilings
The bathroom can be decorated in blue and sand tones.Walls are leveled and painted with opaque monophonic paint or tiled. Marens are often installed above the bathroom. If the budget allows, you can apply relief to one of the walls and tint it with a crumb of natural stone.
The bathroom is not always large, so do not install a bulky ceiling in it. It is better to focus on the standard white color. In rare cases, ceilings are painted with clouds or murals.
Furniture and decor
But with plumbing, you can experiment. For example, install a bathtub from wood or create a mosaic podium under it, equipped with a curtain in the form of a sail. Furniture in the bathroom should be discreet. Facades with craquelure look original.
The design of the room involves the use of various decor in the form of shells and starfish. Items are laid out around the perimeter of the bath. For toothbrushes and soaps they get marine accessories for the interior. So the bathroom will sparkle with new colors.
Lighting
Underwater themes in the arrangement combines airiness and freshness. The decor in a marine style is popular with people living in large cities and dreaming of a vacation on the coast. This style is classic, concise, involving a lot of open space, so it is important for him to choose the right lighting.
The interior involves a lot of flowing light associated with the sun. You need to select lighting, focusing on the specifics of the room itself. Very often, designers use wall lights in the form of anchors, ceiling lights-helms, suspensions in the form of ships, made by hand. When reconstructing the seabed, the premises are supplemented with lamps in the form of inhabitants of the underwater depths.For this style, pearl or pearl sconces, as well as wrought iron lamps, are suitable.
Lamps must match the style. In the design of the premises, preference is given to models of blue or white colors, lighting devices with marine drawings and ornaments, ceiling lamps in the style of Christopher Columbus.
Furniture
Marine-style housing involves a selection of simple furniture. It should look as if it had just been knocked out of improvised material. In some cases, it is permissible to age furniture facades. Craquelure technique is especially welcome. It is unacceptable to use artsy decor, but rattan or bamboo furniture is appropriate. This light furniture allows you to relax and contributes to a romantic mood. In the rooms, stylized under the sea, you can find wooden or wicker chests, hammocks, armchairs in the form of barrels, beds in the form of ships or boats.
The rooms are not overloaded with furniture. They act on the principle - the simpler the better. If a room is equipped with standard furniture, then it is given a shade of the sea by replacing accessories or by aging some of its elements. Instead of handles, marine figures and rope elements are attached. Prefer low furniture. Sofas are covered with canvas covers. Furniture should be made of natural wood. In rare cases, you can use materials that mimic it.
Decor and accessories
The rooms decorated in marine style use photo frames decorated with shells, transparent vases with ropes, starfish and other items. However, designers are not advised to store many items in the room at the same time.
One of the walls is decorated using a real fishing net or a homemade pirate flag. Some designers create original paintings. For example, pirate knots are tied, placed under glass and framed. Such paintings can be used in the living room or in the nursery.
Do not ignore textiles. With it, they beautifully style houses. Bedspreads in white-blue or red-blue stripes are thrown on sofas or beds. They are also decorated with cushions. The design allows the use of pillows in yellow or orange. The windows are decorated with light tulle, linen or canvas curtains. A fluffy carpet of blue, white or, as an accent, red color may lie on the floor. Coarse materials such as matting, linen, canvas are suitable for such an interior.
