Effective marine flavor in the design of living quarters, created by curtains
The first thing you need to pay attention to when choosing curtains in a nautical style for a bedroom or a nursery is their combination with the existing wall decoration, furniture installed within this room.
It is important to:
- All the details of the existing decor were certainly supported by innovations, and nothing else.
- To feel their unity.
- It was comfortable to be in the room after the innovations.
Since the curtains are hung around the perimeter of the windows, this means that they must first of all be combined with the window openings.
Variety of models
The modern market offers a wide range of marine-themed curtains:
- Curtains that are capable of creating "waves" or "sails" on the window.
- ... They can be visually associated with the deck or aesthetically decorate the window, due to their layering.
- Roman horizontal products.
- Roll models.
- Filamentous options are made from densely woven thick threads.
- Photo curtains.
The real beauty of nautical-style curtains is in their design
Marine-style curtains are, of course, blue or light blue for this type of window curtain (with different shades). And this is the creation of the so-called marine interior.
In the room of the nursery, this will help the child to relax and be calmer, since shades of blue are known to calm a person down.
Moreover, the very design of curtains in a nautical style can include the application of various patterns around the perimeter of the material, for example, ships, shells and everything that a person associates with the sea.
The decoration is carried out on cotton, linen, satin, bamboo, rope, corduroy, tulle materials. Here, a person is free to choose exactly what he likes.
After that, all that remains is to relax and feel literally on the seashore, on the threshold of endless expanses that open the way to eternity.
If you recall the sound of the surf and the color of the sea wave with nostalgia, want to bring the romance of the sea to your home, then it's time to decorate your living space with beautiful and functional interior elements - sea curtains.
The history of this style has passed over 100 years, but it continues to attract attention - the craving for the sea is as much an integral part of human nature as the need for food and sleep.
Features of the nautical style
This style cannot be confused with any other direction of interior design, just look at the photo.
Indeed, in no other style does the interior design of the living rooms resemble the deck of a ship.
The characteristic features of the style are the predominance of blue and white shades in textile design, the presence of all kinds of stripes and patterns.
A prerequisite is a floor covering made of solid boards, parquet or other wooden finishing materials.
Also, furniture in the room should be made of solid wood.
Various objects evoking associations with the sea and sea voyages, such as shells, models of ships and other small but clearly visible little things, should emphasize the marine style.
It is desirable to have a white wall decoration and a massive form of furniture, and what is completely incompatible with the nautical style are light, openwork forms.
Of course, an important component of the style is the predominance of sea blue in the interior, the symbol of sea water.
For this, various textile elements are widely used, and first of all, of course, curtains in a nautical style from any material, but always in a blue shade to create the necessary image.
Almost any room in your home can be decorated in a nautical style.
Features of the design of the living room windows
Decor elements play an important role in the living room entourage - paintings with a marine theme, models of ships and other souvenirs.
The role of curtains is to emphasize the marine theme, to combine all the components of the style into a single image. A variety of design options are perfectly demonstrated by photos of curtains in a nautical style. Lambrequins, multilayer drapery, tiered execution will look advantageous. The more luxuriant the curtains, the more advantageous the living room will look like.
The advantageous look of sea curtains will be emphasized by embroidery with gilded thread, especially if there are images related to marine motives - sailboat rigging, inhabitants of the depths, etc. Sea curtains on the south side look especially beautiful when they imitate a flowing stream of water in the sun.
Bedroom windows
The marine color of the textile design, especially if these are marine curtains for the nursery, should not be a dark shade, which can create a slightly depressing atmosphere. Best of all, this is a light blue version of curtains and other textile elements.
Blue shades can be diversified with a contrasting color of a floor lamp or chandelier shades. For this, red is perfect.
Tulle should complement the light blue curtains, preferably pure white. The color of ivory is also suitable, the main thing is that the shape of the tulle is as lush and airy as possible, made, for example, in the form of sails.
It is better to use dense fabrics as curtain materials, for example velvet or brocade, which perfectly trap sunlight, providing a pleasant twilight at any time.
Curtains in the interior of the kitchen
The peculiarity of the kitchen interior lies in the fact that it is in it that the use of a large number of design items of a marine theme is appropriate.

In summer, the freshness of the sea, an almost tangible breeze emanating from marine paraphernalia, will be appropriate. In case the finish is made with high quality and taste, of course. This is what will be discussed today.
The fabric is the most important part of the curtains, pay attention to it. Nothing is more important than fabric, as curtains are 100% fabric. It can be made from natural materials or artificially synthesized. Colors should be consistent with style - whites and blues and shades.
We choose the most dense, monotonous or striped fabric for curtains in a nautical style. Linen, cotton and matting will add luxury and high cost to the interior, but will not be overkill. Even denim can be used as a material.
No one said that fabrics cannot be combined - in addition, tulle and organza are quite suitable. Velvet and corduroy look good with them.
Do not forget about the entourage - ropes, garters and shells fit perfectly in this case. Remember, we want to convey the atmosphere of summer and the sea as well as possible.
Bedroom
Probably, it is not necessary to mention that the atmosphere of the bedroom is relaxing and conducive to rest, while the interior calms and gives a person a sense of security. This will be facilitated by expensive fabrics: brocade and velvet. So that everything does not look too monotonous and boring, you can add bright colors in places - here only fantasy limits.
Curtains are the main part of the bedroom, because they protect the room from the light that loves to wake us up in the morning. Curtains-fishing tackle can become an unusual and stylish solution. They can be attached to the cornice with iron rings, or simply casually thrown over the mount.
Curtains in a marine style for the nursery
We all remember how in childhood we played pirates or imagined ourselves as the captain of a long voyage ship. At the mention of marine style, a children's room immediately comes to mind. The "pseudo-fishing" nets described above will work well for the boy as curtains in a nautical style.
In such a room, you can not be afraid to use your imagination to the fullest. With a little tinkering, you can easily transform your son's or daughter's room into a ship deck, cabin or bungalow on a deserted island.
The boy's room can be decorated in a pirate style, because he will definitely love the spirit of adventure and romance. It is best to use a nautical-style fabric with anchors and handwheels.
For girls, mermaids, fish and shells are more suitable. To create coziness, use warm and cold colors at the same time. Thanks to modern technologies, it is now possible to order special curtains made of dust-repellent material - this is convenient and practical.
Bathroom curtains
Let's move on to the most obvious and common room for marine decoration - the bathroom. Due to its prevalence, the market abounds in bathroom curtains with anchors, shells, rocks, beaches and fish. Here we were lucky, because then we are given a wide choice of thousands of proposed options.
The window in the bathroom is a real gift. It will become a whole platform for various decorations, and for sea curtains. The designs must be as simple and uncomplicated as possible in order to serve the owner for a long time and well. Roller blinds or roman blinds would be a great solution.
Idea: decorative beams can be built into a high ceiling, and nautical-style fabric or nets can be thrown over the beams. This will give the room lightness and the desired surroundings.
And the windows can be decorated with Roman blinds, preferably of a non-uniform color. You can use white and blue-green (to match the color of the sea).
Purchase of curtains
Curtains can be bought ready-made in any store, or you can order work made specifically for a specific interior. It will cost more, but the curtain will meet all your wishes, and this is one of the most important aspects in design, because the better everything is matched to each other, the more holistic the room will look.
Also, you can sew the curtain yourself. There are tons of pictures of nautical-style curtains on the Internet and a whole archive of detailed instructions and patterns that you can follow. If you are completely captured by the design spirit, then the process can be performed completely independently - from planning to sewing itself.
Remember, the most important thing in choosing interior elements is what exactly you like and what you prefer. Who, if not you, can know better what kind of interior you want?
Photo of curtains in a marine style
What boy has not dreamed of becoming a captain in the future? A nautical-style nursery for a boy is an alternative to the girl's princess room. And its design must be appropriate. In particular, special attention must be paid to curtains.
Main color - all shades of blue
Even preschoolers know that the sea is blue and the sky is blue. Therefore, these colors in various variations of shades must certainly be present in the interior of a nursery in a marine style.
In the photo there are Roman curtains in a nursery decorated in a nautical style. The dark blue English stripe conveys a seaside feel.
The blue scale has a positive effect on the psychological state of the child, it has a pacifying effect on him, calms and helps to relax. And this is another plus in favor of the marine theme.
When creating a design for curtains for the nursery, where the little sailor will live, along with blue, you can use colors such as:
- turquoise,
- sand,
- beige,
- White,
- green.
In the photo there are curtains with a lambrequin, made in blue and red tones.
Various shades of red and yellow are best for complementary colors and accents.
Sail
If a “yacht” or “ship” is made from a nursery, without sails the idea will be incomplete. And there is no better place for them than a window.
To create a sail curtain, you will need a large piece of light white or beige fabric. Thin linen or satin will do. You can drape the "sail", make it multi-tiered, fixing one side on an additional cornice - "mast", installed on the ceiling a little further from the window. Curtains made of dense fabric of deep blue color with white stripes in the upper part will perfectly complement the marine composition.
You can also give the curtain a hint of sail in a less complicated way. Hang a white canvas cloth from a round cornice and grab it with a coarse, thick rope. Or order a white polyester roller blind.
Networks
Styling like fishing nets is a bold decision for decorating a nursery window. But such curtains will delight a young sailor.
The mesh fabric trimmed with braid or special rope can be thrown over the cornice. And hang out two blue or white linen canvases as curtains.
Marine drawing
If you do not want to philosophize with the design, use the classic version - white curtains and ordinary colored curtains. But prints in this case should clearly indicate the theme of the interior. These can be images of waves, ships, fish, dolphins and other inhabitants of the deep sea. A blue-and-white striped "striped" roller blind is also an option. The stripes can be any - horizontal, diagonal, vertical, or even zigzags.
As for the combination of blue and white, then in the interior textiles of a nursery in a marine style, all its forms will be appropriate. White top and sapphire bottom, wide stripes all over the canvas or only up to half, spectacular appliqué on a nautical theme - you can think of many options.
For young sailors
Among the girls, there are also lovers of the seas. For them, it is better to play around this topic in a slightly different way. Instead of a sail on the windows, there are bright multilayer curtains with a lambrequin and images of starfish, shells, and beautiful fish. White fabric with a pattern stylized as seaweed will also look good on the windows of a nursery where a little admirer of the sea element lives.
If we consider it as an option, then here the choice of prints will be even greater. For example, a plain azure blue curtain and a Roman curtain made of striped fabric in white, sand and the same blue color look spectacular.
Many children love the marine style. But before decorating the room and windows in this theme, ask what your child will like? Perhaps he can give you some good ideas!
