elisdecor.com Design ideas for your home and patio
Relieve yourself of the summer heat and everyday stress with charming nautical decorations that invite you to the river, lake or sea to cool off and relax. Water is a living medium, always full of surprises, no matter what kind of water it is. Even standing water has its own full life. Babbling brooks, rushing rivers, vast lakes and the vast ocean call us with a voice that is difficult to ignore. So much of the life on our planet comes from them, no wonder we humans like to decorate our homes with memories of these cradles of life.
Half the rowboat
Get almost any book on summer homes or the coastline and you’ll find half the rowboat in the craft department. By placing an old flat-bottomed rowboat on its shallow end or cutting off the ruined portion of a leaky canoe, you can easily add shelves to hold books or plants. Or you can just add a shelf and have a shaded seat overlooking the ocean.
Model boats
Miniature replicas are a great way to honor the big ships, even those that no longer regularly sail. The ocean is a huge place indeed. Putting together a miniature allows modern travelers to wonder how fragile those little wooden barges with a few squares of canvas were that once sailed to all parts of the world. Models can also improve the appreciation of modern ocean-going vessels.
Wall decorations
Add a nautical touch to your home with a wooden relief or a framed picture of boats. You could even pick up a printed replica of a classic sailing ship painting like fishing boats in Arles. You can add a wallpaper or a wallpaper frieze or carpet that takes the theme and repeats it.
Sea lamps, centerpieces, and other decorations
Light up your night with boat-shaped lamps or lampshades decorated with anchors, boats or other items that go with the waterways. Use a miniature row boat or canoe to keep track of your keys and other small bags, or decorate one with a miniature scene to decorate your table. Below are some ideas for decorating wooden boats.
Wooden sailboat wall decoration

It is an excellent choice for an oceanfront vacation home.

You can’t go wrong with half a boat decorating with a Seashore Cottage theme.
