A Easy Guide To Purchasing Nautical Themed Bedding

By Rebecca McKeich


Decorating with nautical bed sets is full of possibilities. There are really no limits to the colors and styles you may choose. Blues and greens are often though of as the primary colors for this style of decorating. However, many other colors lend itself to this style as well. One may choose to use reds, browns, and even white. Your imagination is the only limitation.

When deciding on your basic palette there are a couple of things to consider. If one struggles with insomnia, adding red may not be a wise choice. The color red evokes aggression, which may aggravate the insomnia problem. The typical blue and green often used for this style of bedding, however, evoke peace and calm.

The common theme thought of where nautical style bedding is concerned is lighthouses. However, many other themes are included in this genre of decor as well. Some of them are, sailing, beach scenes, or the tropics. Any one of these choices will give you your primary color scheme. Your accents are then chosen from there. Your accents may include furniture, art work, and accessories.

After you have chosen your theme and primary color choice, decide how saturated with the theme you wish your space to be. For example, if you have chosen a lighthouse theme will you have the lighthouse motif on the nautical themed bedding itself or will you have a more simple style. If you choose to use the lighthouse theme on the bedding you may not want to use any other lighthouse accessories in the space as it may become cluttered. The clutter may not allow for restful nights.

If choosing a tropical theme you widen your opportunity for color choice. Tropical colors may include oranges, pinks, yellows and more. What type of vegetation do you find in the tropics? Picture yourself at your perfect tropical destination and envision what you may see. Take your lead from that picture and see what type of tropical paradise you can create in your space with decoration.

Whether it be tropical, sailing, beach scenes or lighthouses, accenting with wood is a marvelous choice. Sailboats often times will have that warm honey colored wood. Using a clean crisp whitewashed wood for a beach scene is a great choice. The deep richness of the mahogany colored wood for the tropical theme will lend warmth against the cooler colors in the palette.

Keeping in mind what other activities are done in this space begin to envision the atmosphere you wish to create. Today many people have their office in their bedroom or an entertainment area, possibly a library. If any of these other activities are performed in this space, you my wish to take that into consideration when deciding on colors. If you enjoy reading after a long day at the office, using the more serene blue and green may be the direction you wish to go. If you have your office space in the bedroom and need to have high energy to perform your office duties, using a more bold color palette may be wise. No matter the theme or palette you choose be sure you choose based on your sleeping needs as well.
