The design of the living room in the marine style is not so common, although many people like. Such interiors are very expressive by their decorativeness and contrast blue-white in the color scheme.
Distinctive features of style

If you like to arouse admiration, the topic of the sea in the decoration of the hall is what you need. This direction invariably causes positive emotions, but, oddly enough, it is not very often used in the design of the rooms, and therefore is always remembered for a long time.
This manner is a classic design direction having a centuries -old history, but not losing its freshness. It looks expensive and very recognizable thanks to three distinctive postulates:
blue-white colors in stripes and patterns;
use for furniture and a floor of natural, often aged wood, while brown adds activity and suppresses a degree of romance;
filling the premises with accessories in the form of ancient things with a sea theme: paintings with appropriate landscapes, ships models, chests, storms, compasses, etc. D.
The blue palette calms and sets up in a friendly way, and white adds energy. Saturated blue creates a feeling of strength and determination, so men more often choose it, women gravitate more to light blue romantic shades. In any case, the blue-white combination of the marine style in the living room is associated with the brilliance of water, with the foam of the surf and rest under the fresh sea breeze in the resort. Therefore, as well as thanks to some other characteristics (the use of natural materials, massive furniture, etc.) the marine style of some extent echoes the Mediterranean.
If you decorate the interior correctly, it becomes very stable and may well withstand the addition of modern things without prejudice to itself. A small percentage of coral, pink or gold shades will not violate the general mood, but will make the situation a little warmer. However, it should be noted that the walls must be white, and the floor should be wooden.
Furniture with sea handwriting is devoid of thin, elegant shapes. It is quite massive, thorough and even rude, but the decoration from this does not become gloomy. Elegance and emotionality support the color palette and high -quality natural materials.
Typical errors
We create an interior of an apartment in a marine style on our own
As mentioned earlier, the marine style is quite stable and it is not easy to suppress it, but some techniques should still be avoided.
Do not modernize the interior by replacing blue in black, it will not work beautifully: the marine character will be lost, and the modern one will not arise.
The active use of a deep dark blue ring makes the room gloomy. Dark shades will look more successful in small accessories and stripes.
It is strictly not recommended to replace natural materials with imitation, even the best. If material capabilities are limited, it is better to minimize the situation, but just do not agree to fakes, otherwise you risk moving to Kitch.
We construct a living room in the Mediterranean style
The Mediterranean Region is about 20 coastal countries on three continents. It is clear that the Mediterranean manner of creating the decoration of the hall was formed under the influence of various crops, but still the general concept is imposed on the marine topic.
In this style, the cheerful simplicity of Greece, and the sensual energy of Spain, and the bright nature of Italy, and spicy dry Morocco, and the special identity of Turkey are guessed. Therefore, the design of the living room can be modified beyond recognition. It all depends on the taste of the owners, but in any case, the characteristic handwriting of this manner should be clearly visible: a comfortable relaxing aura. It is achieved by a slight, unobtrusive and practical decoration created using natural materials.
For walls, the best option is plaster. It should be matte, textured and with a somewhat careless effect of man -made. A classic example is a limed-gypsum mixture with marble chips (sound). In the finished form, this is not a good, but pleasant to the touch surface.
Regarding color solutions, we can say that there is one modern option, which is characterized by the muffled gamut of gray and beige tones, as well as two traditional directions:
Greek-accents of pink, raspberry or lemon yellow on white-blue or white-turquoise walls, but there may be just a monophonic pastel shade of strawberries with cream;
Italian – a warm palette of ocher, olive and terracotta tones that are folded into frescoes, mosaics or painted tiles.
Archaic simplicity, as the main idea of this design, will turn out if you accurately choose the decoration of the room and the situation. Practical comfort is guaranteed by a soft pastel of the color palette and the naturalness of materials.
Correct ceilings should be with wooden beams, which can be slightly tinted or painted in a blond-gray colors of the old wood. In apartments, these elements can be made of drywall.
The floors made of natural materials (stone, marble) will fit into the decoration more organically, but as a more democratic option, you can use a successful imitation. In extreme cases, a laminate or even linoleum will go. The main thing is that the drawing imitates the natural source, but does not distract attention.
The principle of simplicity and practicality applies to the situation. The most appropriate is furniture made of natural wood of natural warm shades. It can be made in the manner of rude simplicity or modern laconicism. It looks good in such an interior comfortable, beautiful and environmentally friendly furniture from rattan and bamboo.
