Marine style furniture

Each housing design meets certain requirements for both color scheme and furniture. In this article we will talk about what criteria marine-style furniture should meet.

Furniture requirements

If the owner of the house wants to decorate it in a marine style, he must understand that some materials do not suit it at all. Glass tables and plastic items are absolutely inappropriate. It is also unlikely to use furniture lined with stone. A ship is not a place for fancy or fragile items.

Furniture in a marine style is made mainly of wood, wicker is also appropriate. It is characterized by dark blue, turquoise, light blue, emerald, beige and brown colors.

 

Textiles are best suited for upholstery. It must be natural. Synthetic fabrics emphasize the cheapness of the furnishings and somewhat spoil the interior. But at the same time, the natural fabric should be rough, which seems to emphasize the simplicity and aesthetics of sailor life. Corduroy, cotton or linen are best.

You can even style your bedroom as a cockpit by hanging a couple of hammocks. And metal decorative elements, especially forged ones, will add a special chic to the decor.

Children's furniture for a boy in a marine style

Early adolescence (10-12 years) is a romantic time. At this time, the boys are reading the novels of Jules Verne, Daniel Defoe, Konstantin Mikhailovich Stanyukovich. Not everyone, of course, some are on social networks.But, as a rule, children at this age like everything related to the sea and the life of sailors.

That's why marine style furniture children will accept it with pleasure. They naturally like original objects. What if there are some in the boy’s room? mirror in the form of a ship's porthole, a wooden steering wheel, and instead of the usual bed it will hang on ropes hammock, imitating a sailor’s “lyula” (a hanging bed on a ship), the child’s delight at first will know no bounds. However, it is better to purchase the last element after consultation with a pediatrician, especially if the child tosses and turns a lot in his sleep from side to side.

For storing personal clothes and small items, it would look more original not like a closet, but box, like Billy Bones. You can hang a rope ladder on the wall, imitating shrouds (the ladder along which sailors climbed the mast to the sails). Additionally, you can decorate the walls with all kinds of compasses, sea clocks, binoculars and telescopes.

Ship models made of plastic or wood look beautiful on the shelves. They can be purchased in model stores, but you must be prepared for the fact that high-quality products will be expensive - you will have to pay several thousand rubles for each of them. It will be better if the child makes ship models himself. This activity is very conducive to both physical and intellectual development. Assembly kits can also be purchased at any store. A good, flat table made of boards is suitable as a platform for modeling.

Furniture is the most important component of a marine-style interior. If any large piece of furniture does not meet its requirements, the visual effect will be seriously spoiled.Therefore, it would be a good idea to coordinate the interior design with an experienced designer in this field.
