Playing with Textures for Nautical Home Decorations

There are many ideas you can try for nautical home decorations that are not always all blue and green; you can create a vintage look like a Caribbean hut or old ship cabin by using various richly textured accessories. You can place these accessories in a minimalist room, so there is balance between textures and modern simplicity.
Accessories to Decorate Home
There are many accessories you can use to decorate a house, which reflect the look of beachside hut or old ship cabin. Some of these things can be found at garage sale or even in your own storeroom, while others can be found at cheap store such as Etsy. You can get them with various price tags; from a mere $20 to $200 depending on your decorating budget.
Things with rich textures that you can buy for nautical home decorations are old wooden chests, woven baskets, woven mat (preferably from woven sea grass for more authentic look), bamboo frame, and rattan furniture. You can add old furniture such as antique cabinet or desk to complement the look.
Color Schemes
Since the accessories you pick already have rich texture, you can play with more minimalist style in the room. For example, you can choose khaki paint color for the wall and beige tiles or parquet floor. Add splashes of dark blue color for variation such as chair pillow and porcelain vase on the table. Otherwise, just let the textures play.
Textured accessories as nautical home decorations make your house look exceptional. It looks rustic, but also elegant and ‘different.’
