Bringing Classic Element in Nautical Home Decorations

If you like an elegant, classic house, you can spice it up with nautical home decorations. Even with subdued color tones and simple decorations, you can still bring fresh decorative elements into a classic room design. The room will be elegant and sophisticated, but with some surprising elements of marine related color and accessories.
Color Palettes
Play between classic, subdued palette and deep navy blue to create a beautiful contrast. You can apply light beige color on the wall, white sofa, timber furniture and navy blue sofa pillows. For the floor, you can install terrazzo tiles or put carpet/mat made of sea grass.
Accessories
Put some seashell or sea star shapes on the table around ceramic vase one the main guest table. You can use real seashells that you have cleaned with bleach. Put a miniature sea-creature statue made of ceramic on the small table, near a beige colored table lamp. You can also put porcelain or ceramic plate with sea related motif.
Put one or two rattan or wicker chairs in the room to give a slight tropical or Caribbean theme, which is a popular part of nautical home decorations. Add a timber cabinet that you can fill with ocean related accessories. Do not put too many accessories on the wall, except maybe one or two humble ocean pictures; keep the room simple and elegant so the classic feel will still be obvious with all its color palettes.
Classic nautical home decorations can look very appealing even with subdued colors and less accessories; all you have to do is putting some unique elements among the classic design element and let the combination plays.
