Ten Patiotic Rooms with a Nautical Twist!
Posted by Caron on Jun 05, 2018
It's that time of year - break out the Red, White and Blue!
Summer is (almost) here! Sunny days and lots of beach fun ahead.... Our team has been collecting room decorating inspiration for adding a red, white and blue American nautical style to your home, and I think we've found some real winning ideas!
Check out these colorful rooms, and see how easy it is to change a few decorating ccents and you can decorate for summer holidays by the water.
1. Make it easy - just add flags! My Instagram friend Carol, has created a beautiful cottage by the sea... Her adorable blog Art and Sand is a must read for beach cottage fans! You may have seen her adorable colorfilled home featured last summer in Cottage and Bungalow Magazine..
2. Cute cottage room from Shannon at Fox Hollow Cottage - Adding red,white and blue themed coastal pillows (don't you just love the First Mate rectangle pillow!?) and voila', Shannon's room is ready for a Memorial Day weekend or Fourth of July party. Using American Flags always sets the mood!
P.S. We have a similar Whale Pillow on our site - check it out!
3. Adorable, fresh summer space created at Country Living Magazine! A wonderful combination of traditional coastal accents; the rope lamp, coral specimens and a large starfish, mixed with red, white and blue pillows plus a vintage quilt, make this room instantly come alive with American summer style! Decorating with throw pillows makes changing your style for every season so easy - no need to start completely over, just mix up your existing pillows, or add a few new ones to reflect your design.
We are having such a great time with our new American Ahoy Pillow!
4. Spotted at Southern Living, a color-filled sun porch, created in Galveston, Texas with a distinct Northeast flair. Love it! Anchored with one of our favorite nautical wool rugs at Caron's Beach House, this space looks incredibly warm and inviting!
P.S. The rug is available on our site too!
Fun, and Fab! Blue Sails Hooked Wool Rug
5. Kristy's fresh tablescape for a patriotic party.. Also notice the red, white and blue throw pillows in the background that pull the entire open concept room together! From Starfish Cottage Blog. Looks inviting and very "coastal farmhouse" with the cottage-styled linens and natural textures.
6. Ready for an outdoor party? This idea is so simple; just add red, white and blue stripes. An absolute "can't miss" coastal look! Timeless American style that is so easy to mix and match with other pillows to create a different look for any time of the year. P.S. Garden stools are the PERFECT accessory for an extra side table or seating! (Source: Ciao Newport Beach)
We have some fab cabana outdoor pillows that we've added in just the past month that would work great for this outdoor space!
Red Cabana Striped Outdoor Pillow
Navy and White Cabana Striped Pillow
Or maybe try some fun signal flag styled throw pillows?
7. Patriotic Colors without the flags - I so like this room! Feels like summer 4th of July holidays, without the "overboard nautical" cliche decor'. From Amanda Nesbit (one of my design crushes!)
8. Think this might be originally from Pottery Barn (love what they do!) Re-discovered at Completely-Coastal Fun idea of using the vintage-like buoys to create a maritime art display and add the red, white and blue details. Then just toss in the patriotic pillows!
9. A little bit over the top with nautical and red, white and blue - but I still like it! Love the vintage ships' wheel, perfect for a maritime cottage style. (Source: Town and Country Living)
10. And last, but not least - an adorable beach bedroom redo in red, white and blue from Thistlewood Farms. So fun, and fresh! I could even try this idea in our home - start with a white "canvas" and layer in the coastal patterns with pillows, lighting and fun art. The blue and white striped bench is a wonderful accent to complete the space!
What do you think? Do you decorate for the 4th of July? Or with a nautical red, white and blue theme? Would love to see your rooms! Post away on our Facebook Page!
