So many people want the nautical feel when decorating, but rely too much on the obvious…anchors, sail boats, shells, knick-knacks and blue, blue and more blue…and over do it. Although it’s great for a little boy’s bedroom, the key to decorating an entire house is moderation, using only a few obvious accessories.
Lately I’ve been obsessed with the idea of grown-up nautical or “sophisticated nautical”. What is it? To me, it’s crisp white woodwork, trim and architectural details contrasted with a minimal, but bold pop of color. A mix of classic and modern furniture pieces and accessories, clean lines and natural elements.
I think the J.K. Capri hotel in Capri, Italy hit the “sophisticated nautical” nail on the head! Check out a few pictures below.
