What about a change of scenery with maritime decor? Very trendy for a waterfront interior, blue and white colors, natural materials and sea objects are perfect to decorate your vacation home. For a warm, natural cocoon, radiating cheerfulness and in vacation mode, find all our tips for transforming your interior!
Indispensable 1: Raw materials for an authentic maritime decoration
Well-chosen materials are essential for a natural and original maritime decoration! For a warm and cocooning spirit, introduce elements made of driftwood, a smooth and clear natural material that you can easily find on the beach or in the surrounding area.
Also widely used in waterside decor, sea rush, a very resistant natural fiber, will allow you to dress up your vacation home and especially your floors for a water-resistant decoration.
To bring softness to your room and remind you of boat interiors, you can opt for a bleached wood floor however, be careful about the room you position it in as the floor is not water resistant and gets damaged with salt. For spaces with a lot of traffic, favor tiles (sand-colored or mosaic for more originality), a sure bet for maritime decorating and very sturdy.
Indispensable 2: Colors for a waterfront interior
What could be better than neutral colors to remind you of the beach's edge? White, linen, beige, light gray and terracotta will bring a warm, authentic feel to your room.
But maritime decorating is also about a sublime blue gradient that recalls the tones of the ocean and echoes escapism and well-being.
For maritime-toned decor, choose furniture from Flavio POLI, Charles and Ray EAMES or Einar JOHANSEN.
Must-have 3: Furniture for a 100% beach vibe
For a warm decor, take special care in choosing your light fixtures. Favor lamps made of natural materials such as rattan or driftwood for a more original and fresh effect. For hanging lights and sconces, choose wicker and bamboo to bring relief and a natural look to your room.
Highly trending in summer decorating, rattan furniture brings flair to our interiors. Table, chair, TV stand...rattan comes in a variety of original designs!!
Opt for a large rattan armchair by Rohe NOORDWOLDE, Dirk VAN SLIEDREGT or Janine ABRAHAM and Dirk JAN ROL to enjoy the sunny days and embellish it with a pretty blue and white striped fouta for an assured oceanic style.
If wood and rattan furniture are must-haves for seaside decorating, colored furniture is also on trend. Of course it is not about bright colors like green or red but pastel colors like sky blue, pastel yellow or pastel green which are colors close to the marine environment. For example, you can choose a sideboard or dresser from Jiri JIROUTEK.
To accentuate the vacation effect install hanging armchairs like these by Nanna DITZEL or a colorful fabric or macramé hammock to dress up your patio, living room or reading nook. Polish up your decor with plenty of patterned pillows.
