Maritime Furnishings: Sea Flair for Your Home
You don’t have to live on the beach or go on vacation to experience that seaside feeling. With a few simple means, you can bring maritime flair into your home, which you can enjoy every day. We present you the maritime interior style, which invites you to relax and unwind wrapped in the sound of the waves.
What actually is the maritime style of interior design?
Maritime style, or beach house style, is an interior design style that captures the unique atmosphere of the sea by combining certain colors, materials and accessories. It is typically found in houses located directly by the sea, but it basically fits into any home, evoking that sense of freedom, adventure and at the same time tranquility that is inherent in the sea.
The combination makes the difference - how to achieve the beach house look
You dream of the sea and want to decorate your home in maritime style? We have tips for you on how to put together the cozy beach house style.
The colors of the sea
The core of the maritime interior style are the colors. White is the predominant color and symbolizes the clarity and purity of the sea. Combined with it are shades of blue, which provide relaxation and tranquility. Blue and white striped patterns, for example on bed linen in the bedroom or on couch cushions in the living room, are reminiscent of beach chairs and sailcloth. Sand tones and beige accents round out the color scheme and add warmth to the room.
Natural materials
An important element of the maritime style is wood. Whether in furniture or on the floor, the natural material makes any room look hyggelig in no time. Lighter wood such as maple or pine is especially suitable, as it emphasizes the colors white and blue. Rattan furniture and sea grass furniture also go well with beach house style. Combine them with sisal rugs in subtle beige tones to complete the look.
Decoration from real sailors
With maritime decoration, the sound of the sea appears within reach in the blink of an eye. For this, ship part accessories such as compass, anchor and sails, and smaller sea treasures such as shells and starfish are ideal. Sea charts, lanterns and ship models also emphasize the maritime flair. You can also reach for maritime wall decor in the form of photographs or paintings with these motifs.
Perfect lighting for perfect Hygge
The right lighting is crucial for the coziness of a room. Use lamps and luminaires that spread a warm, cozy light. You can find a detailed guide to the perfect lighting here. For the beach house look, for example, you can choose lamps made of natural materials such as shells or sea anemones.
