Decorating a house in Mediterrano style always has a particular charm. It permits to create a young, fresh interior where all superfluous elements disappear as if swept away by a gentle wave.
Interior designs in navy style are not as sumptuous as other types of interior designs; on the contrary, they show a luxury which plays with simplicity, even when you choose state-of-the-art objects.
Both indoor and outdoor, in the living room, in the bedroom, even in the bathroom, you needn’t start from zero to furnish your interior in marine style. One or two typical pieces of furniture, combined with some accessories in the right colours and materials, are often enough; and it will be like being aboard a place of charm and glamour.
House in maritime style: colours and materials of marine decoration
Light blue, navy blue, pale blue and white, of course: the palette to paint a perfect house in maritime style plays with colours which speak of harmony, vastness, space without borders.
A fresh and lively colour mix which is perfectly completed by the typical natural tones of wood, sand, stones and seaweed, which have to weaken the contrast of blue and white. Because a “navy” house must always be an embrace which tastes of cosiness and welcome. The extra touch? Playing with contrasts: bright red for a daring character, golden tones for a glamorous one. You can also use pastel colours for a more playful touch; they must be, however, carefully chosen and combined together.
As for materials, they must be inspired by and referred to nature.
- Pieces of furniture of solid wood, both in the lighter version for a traditional marine style, and in darker tones for a more luxurious style.
- Bamboo and rattan, especially used for baskets and chests, but also for armchairs in real coastal style: harsh and wild.
