Marine life and the nautical artifacts have an interesting connection
with our childhood excitement and thrill embedded deep in our
subconscious. Most of us are mesmerized by the chivalrous stories of sea
pirates and their mystical ships, or dazzled by the nautical
furnishings and instruments in elegant ships. Such nostalgic memories
revive and fill our life with a renewed enthusiasm when we decorate our
home with a nautical theme.
There are some great nautical
home decorating ideas that can set the stage for transporting you into a
state of fantasy. Nautical décor has something for everyone - your
children will love the ship models and your guests will adore the
nautical furnishings and the maritime instruments that fill the air with
the charm of antiquity.
Handcrafted
Nautical Ships is the most
preferred choice of millions, as ship models catch the fancy of almost
everyone. Whether at home or in office, exact replicas of famous ships
like USS Constitution, Titanic, and America's Cup Model can sit pretty
proudly on the cupboard racks, on top of your refrigerator, sofa side
table, office table, or even on a window sill. You can have an
assortment of various boat and ship models like sail boat models, cruise
ship models, pirate ship models, or even ships in a bottle that are
always a visual treat. Though nautical ship anchor also has been a
Christian symbol and signifies hope and steadfastness, it globally
represents a nautical life. Use various forms of anchors at home as
nautical decors such as aluminum anchor with cross bar, wooden rustic
anchors with hook rope in different color schemes.
You can display
them on the walls over the hearth of the study room, or even outside
the home main door as a door knocker! It is not possible to have a
nautical theme décor at home without a nautical lifering somewhere on
the walls. Not only does this nautical home decorating idea come in
different color options, but is also available as antique lifering
clocks and wooden liferings to fill up the big spaces on your home
walls. Don't forget the nautical ship wheel! Steer the course of your
nautical theme in the right direction with the intricately carved helm
or wooden ship wheels. Besides the traditional shades of brown, they are
also available in black color as pirate ship wheels.
It is a good
idea to hang the ship wheel clock centered above the mantle in the
drawing or dining areas of your home. Your nautical theme might look
incomplete without a nautical porthole or a porthole mirror on the wall
of your home. This circular nautical décor item has its own charm and
gives the feel of a ship cabin. You can even have a porthole-incised
door to add to the nautical taste or have a real porthole window looking
over the swimming pool or the beach.
