Remember this post? Well, here is another excellent example of how to do the nautical style in a subtle way:

*

Cream and navy blue living room. One detail that makes a great difference in adding a nautical feel is wood paneling half or one fourth of the way up to the ceiling. Keeping the Background light and accessorizing with navy blue does the trick.

*

A perfect mix of clean color surfaces and pattern is key. Stripes and plaid are both great for the nautical theme. When mixing pattern, be sure to pick very different patterns to go together, not two different striped patterns, but rather one striped and one checkered.

*

White and navy blue kitchen.

*

This blue and white nautical kids bedroom is just perfect! Double bunk beds. Check out the bed-lights.
