Walls
The choice of materials for wall decoration in a nautical style is extensive. These are panels made of wood, and paint, and photo wallpapers, and ordinary wallpaper with a small pattern, and ceramic tiles. Depending on the purpose of the room, these or other options are suitable.

Design of a small apartment
A small area usually confuses the owners. It seems that only spacious rooms will allow you to decorate the interior in the chosen style. But this is not quite true. For a small room or apartment, it is necessary to choose a style that will emphasize its features and make it visually wider. The marine theme is great.
Light shades of blue, gray and beige combined with white will fill the space with freedom and air. In addition, the abundance of mirror surfaces will help to visually increase the area and fill the room with light. And bright colors of pillows or decor will place important accents. Designers recommend choosing several accessories and adding marine patterns to textiles.

For finishing, it is better to use simple materials that do not take precious centimeters: paint, plaster, wallpaper, laminate flooring. Practical models with several functions are suitable for furniture. Folding chairs, a transformer table, a folding sofa or an armchair.
When choosing lighting fixtures, it is worth giving preference to small models. Compact chandeliers, wall sconces.
