NAUTICAL & NICE


Nautical colour schemes in interiors are a huge trend that has never worn out of style. Calm colours such as soft pastel blues, whites and neutrals reflect the feeling of the ocean, shorelines and travelling in the sea. The use of navy blue as a contrast colour is evident in a nautical colour scheme because it stands as a sturdy baseline colour. Neutrals such as browns and beiges are great choices in colour in terms of furniture and walls especially if the aim is to create a “weathered” look. The nautical colour scheme also can be tied into eco-awareness in interior design. Most commonly in interiors that have a weathered look, vintage furniture often found in market stalls and second hand shops are carefully chosen to create a nature-friendly vibe in a room. Small accessory accents such as ropes and pieces of wood and timber are strategically placed in room corners to create an organic, eco-friendly effect in a room.
