Nautical style kids room

"The waves play, the wind blows,
And the mast bends and creaks ...
Alas, he is not looking for happiness,
And not running from happiness!

Under it a stream of brighter blue
Above it is a ray of sunshine golden ... "

What could be more beautiful than the sea, even if it is northern and cold. And even more warm and affectionate. Therefore, parents who want to thematically design a nursery are best to choose a marine style.

This design has everything that a child needs. Space, light, air, calm tones and an interesting game.

Space

Imagine yourself on the deck of a ship or on the beach at the water's edge. Nothing covers the horizon. Therefore, the minimalist style is most suitable for a marine theme. Only the necessary items and no piles.

Ideal when drawers for clothes are made at the bottom of upholstered furniture. The furniture is low along the walls and the middle of the room is free. You can buy or order a crib in the form of a boat.

Lighting

Children's room should be bright. The window is not curtained during the day and freely transmits light. Drapes for marine style can only be made of light natural fabrics. Desirable tones such as white, burnt canvas or coral.

Artificial lighting can be of different types, but the lamps must necessarily have a yellow spectrum and the whole room is intensively lit by ceiling lights. Like the sea on a sunny day. Additionally, you can use table lamps and night lights.

Colors of the sea

In the design of a children's room in a marine theme, the colors of the blue sea, blue sky, white clouds and foam should be present. Still wet sand of the beach and coral - the color of reefs and deep plants.

For a brighter interior, you can add the red color of the sun, setting beyond the horizon of waves. But only quite a bit. Otherwise, the fiery tone will defeat the atmosphere of the water element.

Walls can be painted or paper wallpapers glued. Remember that color plays a big role. Therefore, the dark blue walls will make the room dark and low. But the coral color will make it warm and spacious, fill with light.

Striped vest

An integral part of the marine theme. The colors of the stripes are white and blue. The width may be different, depending on their location. If this is a pillow or rug near the crib, then narrow ones can be used.

The bedspread will look better with wide and medium transverse stripes. To create a brighter and more cheerful mood of the room, you can add one or two red stripes.

Walls should not be completely striped. The average width of the stripes on part of the wall will help change the space of the room. Horizontal ones will make it wider, and vertical ones will make it higher.

Materials

In the children's room in general, only natural finishing materials should be used. Especially in the marine theme. The floor should be made of natural light-colored boards. To do this, use birch, pine, poplar. Impregnated with wax or other means of preventing bugs and fungi from breaking down, the floor covering is coated with a colorless matte varnish. You can use white translucent varnish.

On this floor you can play and run barefoot, because it is warm and breathes. After covering, it will look like a tattered deck, whitish from salt of sea water.

Furniture for the ship

Furniture should also be wooden. But it is better to paint it white and add small fragments of blue and red. It can be coated with opaque dark transparent varnish, and it will add elegance and coziness with a natural wood pattern.

A white wardrobe will look like a cabin on the beach, and a wooden one will look like a cabin. White bedside tables and tables may have a red and blue top. Just remember the measure of red. It can be only one item with such a bright finish, such as a countertop.

The crib should resemble a boat or have a fence, as in a cockpit on a ship. If there are two children, then the best option is with a bunk bed. If room size allows, hang an additional hammock. This is a place for games and for relaxation. And children really like such items.

Sail Theme

It is in the sails that all the romance of sea voyages is enclosed. In the interior of the room they can be made from curtains or partially curtain the bed. To do this, take a light thin natural fabric, and collect it on one side. Can be tied with a coarse rope such as a rope. Make multilayer curtains of different widths. From under the coral let peeps white.

For the girl’s room, you can add a scarlet strip on top, as the motif of the legend of Asol and her dream. Or let the lambricen strip. You can also crib. Just remember that the fabric should be light, light and drape well.

If the child’s room has a sports corner with a Swedish wall, then separate it from the main space by several rows of a rope ladder. Let your young man, regardless of gender, enjoy sports. Moreover, a freely hanging staircase better develops coordination of movement and a press than a rigidly fixed wooden one.

Ropes can be hung there. For a teenager, a bed hanging on thick ropes will be interesting. In the wooden shield, make holes in the corners. If the rope is very thick, tie knots so that they hold the bed. Narrower - just thread it like a swing. The mattress is located on top, between the ropes.

Items from ships and the sea

You want the child to collect toys with pleasure. Then draw his box in the form of a chest, worn and visited more than one voyage. After all, it is much more interesting to collect treasures, regardless of their type.

Old wooden benches, shabby wooden tables, barrels of gunpowder.

Separately, items such as a steering wheel, spyglass and compass go separately. Not a single ship can do without them. The compass in its present form does not decorate the room as much as its image on the carpet or ceiling. You can simply paint with a darker paint a large wind rose on the floor.

Sea spirit of travel will give objects from the sea to the children's room. Shells, corals, starfish, mock sailboats. They can simply be laid out on shelves or hung on the walls. Maps and globes fill the room with the spirit of sea voyages.

Paintings and murals

The kindest sea creatures are dolphins. Therefore, for kids, try to decorate the room with their image.

Next are sailboats in the sea, fish, islands and seagulls above the waves.

The marine theme is very broad and diverse. It is easy to find in it exactly what your child likes and corresponds to his age. But before making out the nursery, ask its owner what exactly he wants to have in his room.
