Bringing the Ocean to your Home
In the nautical world, there’s nothing more iconic than the lighthouse. And if you live in the Pacific Northwest, these lighthouses are completely indicative of the area. As such, they are particularly prevalent in areas such as the Oregon Coast. If you’re at all enamored with these areas or ocean décor in general, you can recreate that feeling through strategic home decoration. Whether you add subtle nautical touches to your home or go all out with the ocean theme, the décor of you house can alert people of your love for the ocean life.
Not surprisingly, one common theme within this type of decoration is lighthouse home decor. There are many different variations on this theme, but these lighthouses come in everything from paintings to lampshades. As with any home décor undertaking, you can make your home as overt or as subtle as you want. You can merely paint the walls a color reminiscent of sand, and you can add some small seashell detailing for a very understated ocean look. Alternately, you can go all out and choose one room to be your nautical area. To that end, you can adorn the shelves with ships in a bottle, lighthouse lamps, anchor figurines, and any other decorating items you’d like.
