A Nautical Theme
For centuries, mankind has been fascinated with wide-open spaces. The ultimate example, of course, would be the ocean. Great works of literature, such as Moby Dick and Treasure Island, speak to our inherent obsession with the mysteries of the sea. Vast expanses of water seem to promise freedom and adventure - the sort of experiences landlubbers could never truly appreciate.
These ideas are often expressed in the form of nautical décor. It’s not uncommon to see a beachside home decked out with nautical accents. With the water beckoning from just a few yards away, it’s possible to make an interior space look just like the captain’s quarters, or the kitchen like a galley. The options are limitless, and it’s amazing what a few sea-themed touches can do to pique the imagination.
