People that love the sea have a passion for anything nautical. It seems to be a way of life and not just a design preference. It is said that if you stay on the water long enough you will have salt water instead of blood coursing through your veins. For these people, nautical home decor is the next best thing to life on a yacht. Decorating with authentic nautical antiques and furnishings, original marine art and handcrafted nautical accessories, and ship's salvage, is a way to incorporate a little comfy, nautical elegance into your day-to-day look and home decor.
Whether or not you like sailing the high seas, boating around Nantucket, or lunching at the yacht club, this all-American look is a warm weather standard and one that easily translates into home decor.You can turn your own home into a seaside retreat no matter your location. Remember it's not just a themed kids room anymore.
Make sure you listen to the music....it sets the mood!!

Where you live might feel like the farthest place from a summery oasis, but you can bring the beach to your own abode with nautical home decor
While this look is popular for homes next to the sea, the look can be achieved no matter where you live. Decorate a room in your home, or your entire house, so that your love for the sea is apparent to everyone who enters your home.

Sailboat models are great accessories. Add in the color red, the stripes, and the lantern and your room is sea worthy.
