When many of us think of nautical bedding, it is easy to have our minds set on anchors and starfish in the pattern. While there are plenty of bedding sets that display either or both, the general rule of thumb for nautical design bedding is that it includes a shade of blue, often a lighter shade of blue although navy is beginning to show up more often, and stripes, mostly stripes that are not uniform but more in the Alexander Julian style.
With that in mind, a nautical bedroom decor can easily be created by selecting a bedding set that has irregular stripes in blues and often in browns or tans. Select sheets and pillow cases in a solid color that accents, complements, or matches one of the colors in the comforter.
To bring the bedroom decor together the accessories that fill the room will do just that. For example, using a clock that has an anchor on the face or resembles a porthole will create a decor that seems to be totally nautical. Place a lantern on a side table and again, you are bringing the nautical theme together. In some cases, purchasing a rope net, a fish net, for a wall hanging and placing a few starfish in it will make everyone who visits think of nothing but a nautical theme and being on board.
Depending on that age of the person who will live aboard this bedroom ship, there are simple wall decorations that will make the difference in carrying off the theme. Below are a few of our suggestions.
Welcome Aboard Nautical Wall Clock
This navy on white wall clock is ideal for a more casual nautical theme.
For the beach house or kids room, when color counts and the nautical theme is the selected decor, there is no easier way to create a nautical theme.
Combine this one accessory piece with an irregular stripe pattern and all you need is a little imagination and perhaps this bedding set:
Nautica Boulder Bed Comforter, Sham, and Sheet Set
This bedding set is about as patriotic as one can get without it being a flag.
Use this set with the "Welcome Aboard" Wall Clock and the theme is set!
If this is for a kids room, a trip to a thrift store or an auction for an old trunk to place at the foot of the bed as a toy chest or a place to store blankets during the warmer months will carry out the theme.
Need a little more to add to the feeling of the sea? Why not purchase a few starfish to add to the decor?
This package of 30 starfish is under $10.00.
As you can see, this nautical setting was as easy as pie to create without a single anchor pattern on the bedding. We, at Bedding Selections, stress this because when the kid has outgrown the sailor mood, the bedding set can easily be used with another decor.
Beginning with these simple items, a nautical bedding decor has been created for less than $200.
