Nautical Nursery's and Rooms

Nautical rooms are becoming more and more popular with a host of modern nautical looks being used in nursery's.

White and navy ribbon drapes

 This nursery pairs navy walls and a simple white drape with navy blue ribbon trim. These drapes have been created without lining for a sheer look, but a white blackout lining can be added to make nap time more functional for infants. Accents of boat pictures and red throw pillows add to the overall subtle nautical feel of the room. This room works perfect with Sherwin-Williams Loyal Blue. 

Navy or red chevron drapes are a nice touch to a nautical nursery. The drapes can grow with the infant into youth stages where many other fabric prints will coordinate to add bedding and pillows.  Navy is being paired with many colors for both boys and girls. Some colors are the lime green as pictured here. You can also pair navy will kelly green, coral, gray, some shades of pink, and yellow. The options are infinite. Add a silver paint like Sherwin-Williams gray screen  paint to give a nursery a calming and sophisticated look. 

Throw pillows in red and white stripe and red rope or navy chevron and anchor will pull the room together perfectly. 

Horizontal Stripe drapes add a clean look To a nautical room. These are similar to Pottery Barn's rugby drape and allow options later to keep the same stripe drapes as the nursery changes into a boy and teenager room. Stripes are functional with other prints that grow with the child. These are available in red/white and navy/white.

Navy and white stripe duvet covers and shams are another way to add a subtle nautical look as seen here with white bedding and formal wood nantucket head boards. Add solid navy drapes in a cotton or linen as seen below with simple rope tie backs to a nursery and then later update to an older looking room with the stripe duvets or one in a pillow fabric seen above. 

Simple nautical touches can add pattern to a beach home with navy patterned pillows in a room with white linen drapes, a white sofa, a navy patterned rug, and red leather accent chairs. Sherwin-Williams blue mosque creates the perfect wall color for the room.
