A nautical-themed children's room is the dream of many boys and girls. To create the appropriate atmosphere, when selecting interior details, you need to take into account all the nuances. Properly chosen curtains with a marine theme will complement the created compositional ensemble. With the help of curtains, depending on the temperament and desires of the child, you can create a gentle romantic atmosphere or an atmosphere of a raging sea.
Elements of the marine theme in the design of the window space of the nursery must be chosen taking into account the gender, age and preferences of the child.
How to choose curtains for a girl's and boy's room?
Making a room in a marine style involves the active use of blue, turquoise, white and blue colors, so when choosing curtains, be guided by these shades. On the main background of the fabric, there can be patterns of various colors and shapes. Here you need to take into account the taste of the child. Keep in mind that girls and boys have different preferences.
For girls, the most peaceful manifestation of the marine theme is important. If the children's little princess is to be decorated, choose curtains depicting beautiful shells, mermaids, colorful fish, and other inhabitants of the sea. You can purchase simple curtains in marine shades and decorate them with your own hands. To do this, you will need decals with suitable patterns, which should be carefully applied to the curtains with an iron. The girl's room in coral shades looks very beautiful and gentle. In this case, the marine theme is preserved, and the room becomes more cheerful and colorful.
Boys are most often attracted by pirates, ships, sea monsters. When choosing curtains for a boy's nursery, give preference to models depicting sailboats, mythical sea animals, and pirate symbols. If you have not found ready-made curtains, create them yourself by choosing the appropriate applications. To decorate a boy's room, it is not necessary to use only white and blue colors. Curtains of shades used in the navy will look interesting: deep green, yellow, pomegranate.
When choosing curtains for a nursery in a marine style, consider the features of the interior of the room, as well as the size of the windows. Light classic curtains will look good on small windows. You can use them in conjunction with Roman blinds - a cozy analogue of office blinds. Large windows are best decorated with Japanese panels or multi-layered curtains. The main rule: curtains should not interfere with natural light and overload the room.

Choosing material and style
Do-it-yourself marine-style curtains are made from various materials, including both natural and synthetic fabrics, which have one key requirement - sufficient density and even deliberate roughness of the fabric surface. The main thing is that the drapery canvases correspond to the dimensions of the window.
Suitable solutions include:
- Gunny;
- Textiles with a coarse knit pattern made of yarn;
- The combination of fleecy fabrics (velvet or velveteen) with weightless organza, tulle.
The most elegant options are linen, satin or cotton. Blue curtains look interesting in the interior when choosing denim as the basis, which will not only give the room a unique style, but will be very practical and easy to use.
The rope curtain looks original with decor in the form of shells, intricate marine knots. Throwing such a marine net over an ordinary blue canvas, you can create a characteristic color at minimal cost. When choosing blue curtains with trim, you should also remember about the decor that gives a stylistic direction - homemade rope loops or eyelets for pulling a rope.
For those who do not like textiles in the interior, we can recommend marine-style Roman blinds, which are offered with patterns characteristic of the marine element and are made in suitable colors, conveying the marine atmosphere in an extremely realistic way. Particularly interesting are the sea breeze Roman blinds, represented by a combination of white and turquoise stripes of various thicknesses that imitate waves.
Deciding on a color scheme
Blue-blue curtains are not the only option for decorating window openings. Green-turquoise shades are quite appropriate. In addition, you can set accents by choosing yellow, turquoise, gray or red.
If thick blue curtains are chosen as the main element, white, sand or beige curtains with a thematic pattern will look spectacular against their background. A relevant solution for a marine style is a color scheme that repeats the combination of alternating stripes of blue and white, characteristic of a marine vest. Stripes can be arranged both vertically and zigzag. You can make curtains in the form of sea waves by combining blue, white and turquoise tones.
Window decoration for the living room
Curtains in a marine style are one of the win-win solutions for decorating a living room.

When using decor in the interior, you should choose a single textile for curtains and other items as a connecting link.
Living room
When decorating the living room, it is important to remember that in summer blue curtains will be especially appropriate if the windows face the sunny side. If you wish, you can soften the cold blue color by adding warm accents (sand-colored lambrequins or beige curtains).
Delicate blue curtains also look good in the interior of the living room, especially in small rooms, when dark colors narrow the space even more.
Window decoration for the bedroom
Blue curtains in the bedroom will help create a calm atmosphere, setting up rest and relaxation. Dense expensive fabrics, bright accents in the form of decorative elements decorated in red tones (for example, cornice decorations) are relevant here. Curtains in the style of "fishing nets" can add a touch of romance, for hanging which metal rings are used. A net woven from a thin rope will “lighten” the dark blue curtains, making the atmosphere less gloomy.
Separately, it is worth highlighting the blue stuffed curtains in the interior of the bedroom, the material of which is brocade or velvet. Curtains with a printed pattern stylized as a marine theme look spectacular if the pattern is made to match the main decor. If you want to make curtains a central element of the interior, you should choose models with large patterns.
If the bedroom is small enough, the best option would be a combination of pure white and blue when decorating window openings. Such nautical-style curtains for a three-leaf window look spectacular if a lush, but at the same time weightless tulle reminiscent of a sail is chosen as a white element, creating a feeling of airiness that characterizes the endless expanses of the sea.
Window decoration for the kitchen
Among the most suitable options for the kitchen interior, one can single out marine-style roller blinds, which are most convenient to use due to a clear fit to the shape of the window opening and simple folding using a special lifting mechanism. When choosing a shade and ornament that matches the theme, this type of curtain becomes a central element of the interior.
Blue curtains for the kitchen can also be chosen in the form of practical linen or cotton curtains, the originality of which is given by the decor with white beads and shells stretched on a thread. When designing a kitchen, the color palette can be diluted with a gray tone, which in a marine style imitates the pebbles lining the beach.

White fabric with a pattern stylized as seaweed will also look good on the windows of a nursery where a little fan of the sea element lives.
