Guest Picks: Nodding to Nautical

Navy blue and white are an ever-popular color combo for spring decor, so I thought I’d share some of my favorite nautical-inspired items as the weather starts to warm up. Nautical themes can be overdone, so I wouldn’t put all of these in one room. Just choose a couple of your favorites to add a fun coastal feel to any space. — Rosa from Flutter Flutter

Anchor Floor Mat - $28.95 Navy blue is a favorite with my boys! This simple graphic anchor screams nautical in the best possible way.


Lisel Cushion, Rope Pattern - $12.99 This is a great way to inject some visual texture into a space without actually sitting against rough rope.


Stripe Shower Curtain, Dusty Navy - $39 I think stripes are always a good addition to a room, and these have so much impact.


Authentic Models AS088 Biscay Fishing Boat, Red - $63.90 This would look great displayed on a bookshelf or ledge. The red would contrast nicely with nautical blues. Buy on Houzz


‘Set Sail’ Nautical Art Print by Flutter Flutter Studio - $14.49 I think the wave pattern of this graphic art print makes it a great addition to any sea-loving children’s bedroom or another nautical-inspired space.


Ocean Liner Rug - $69 I think the combo of red, white, blue and stripes is a classic way to add a nautical feel to a mudroom or kids’ bedroom.


Set Sail Wallpaper Sheet, Light - $45 I can just picture this wallpaper lining the back of a bookcase or on a feature wall in a little boy’s room. The sketch-like style would add so much visual texture. Buy on Houzz


Top Rope Mirror - $219 This mirror would look charming in a kids' bathroom or in the hallway of a beach cottage. It's a great statement piece.


Lisel Cushion, Fish - $12.99 I think this pillow is so much fun. It’s a great conversation piece that will let your guests know that you have a sense of humor.


First Aid Kit - $29.95 I think this would look great mounted on the wall in a kids’ bathroom. It gets extra points for being both functional and attractive.


Authentic Models FE106 Tender Oar, Ivory - $92.50 I am a huge fan of using vintage pieces as art. This white-dipped oar is gorgeous. Buy on Houzz


‘Some Sea Animals of the Pacific Northwest’ Poster by Banquet - $60 I like how this graphic illustration offers an opportunity for learning.


Blue and Purple Striped Basket - $145 I love natural fibers. I’d use this to hold stuffed animals in a kids’ room or throws in the living room.


Bambi Pirate Shower Curtain - $97.10 What a fun shower curtain! Whimsical, graphic and colorful, it would be a great addition to a child’s bathroom. Buy on Houzz


Rope Ball Finials, Set of 2 - $19.95 I think these finials are a great way to bring that nautical feeling into the smallest of details.


Nautical Framed Flag Art - $79 I like art that tells a story. A simple graphic flag would create a lot of visual impact.


Lisel Cushion, White/Blue - $9.99 I’m a fan of simplicity, and this pillow has coastal charm. Matching bedding is available.


Rope + Metal Handle, Cotton - $12 I think these pulls are a great way to update an old dresser with some nautical flair.


Camp Gray Nautical Large Modern Wood Rope Handle Lantern, Small - $350 I like the added touch of the rope handle on this nautical-inspired lantern. It’s a nod to coastal charm that also adds some ambience. Buy on Houzz


Anchor Jacquard Towel - $8 These are such great graphic towels. They’re a simple way to transform a bathroom during spring and summer.
