Create Dock-Style Nautical Home Decorations at Home

If you visit many American harbor or coastal towns during summer, you will find unique atmosphere of a dockside, which is very rustic with timey feel, as well as warm and friendly at the same time. For nautical home decorations, you can try turning your house into a dockside themed room or building. This is a perfect idea to welcome warm and sunny weather.
A dockside style house has a charming rustic look, dominated by wood elements, rope, anchor, seashells, starfish, and miniature ships and even bait shop look. You can use many unique decorative elements, such as floating balls, fish net and rustic signboard. The colors used range from marine green and light blue (like sky) to beige and off white.
Ideas for Dockside Look
Here are some ideas to create nautical home decorations with dockside style:
• Install white washed hardwood as your patio floor, and add wooden chairs with subtle printed fabric with ocean theme patterns. Install white washed window rims to complete the look.
• Use rope, floating balls, anchor, nets and other fishing related elements to decorate your interior. For example, you can use rope to tie the curtain, fishing net as wall decoration, and floating balls on the fireplace. You can also buy mock anchor for wall decorations or custom hooks.
• Find vintage seashell handicrafts. Many of them are sold very cheap, but they can complement the whole dockside look if you put them with the other decorative elements.
Charming and rustic dockside view will surely create great nautical home decorations. These are perfect to welcome the charm of summer.
