Nautical Theme

Coastal chic with a contemporary twist adds cool nautical-inspired design to interiors and style for 2022. It isn’t all about boats and anchors but adding marine motifs to accessories accentuates the look. Seaside spaces incorporate all the hues of the ocean from bright blues and pristine whites to splashes of turquoise with beach-weathered drift­ wood. While a pop of blue is central to ocean interiors, use it sparingly on accessories like rugs and cushions to blend rather than dominate. White is the perfect backdrop on floors or walls while natural wood or rope adds texture and warmth.

Bold stripes, seashell motifs and marine life are fun for candles and kitchenware while nautical lamps and bulbs are functional and evocative of on-board style. An accent wall, or coastal-inspired artwork harmonises the overall coastal vibe.
