Sea-style cuisine is a great idea for those who like natural colors, natural materials, a relaxed atmosphere and the romance of marine life.

Such an interior is good in that it is suitable for both. small kitchens, and for the spacious ones, as for the “northern” rooms with poor lighting, and for the kitchens, whose windows face the sunny side. Another bonus - if the nautical theme over time gets bored, then you can easily change it and transform the interior into Provencal, Mediterranean, country or even Scandinavian due to its neutral basis.

If desired, the kitchen in the marine style can be arranged in an even narrower topic:

Beachfront - as if it is a kitchen in a coastal cottage;
Bungalow - as if it is a kitchen in a house, standing right on the water;
Fishing - as if it is a kitchen in a fisherman's house;
Ship - interior styling on the ship theme.

In one article we collected 50 of the most inspiring photos for all these areas and made up a small guide with tips on repair and design of the kitchen in a nautical style with our own hands.

Finish

Floor

The floor in its appearance may resemble a deck (wooden, brightened from the sun's rays or grayed by time) or the floor in the cabin of the ship is dark and polished.

The most suitable option is single-strip massive, parquet or laminate board with chamfers (bevel along the edges).
A more practical option - tiles in the manner of Mediterranean interiors.

Walls

The walls can be covered with wooden panels according to the type of cabin, wooden clapboard, ordinary plaster, paint (white or colored), wallpaper (structural or with a pattern on the marine theme).

As for the choice of color of the walls, here you can navigate to the degree of illumination of your kitchen. All shades of blue and blue (celadon, azure, turquoise, etc.) are more suitable for the design of “southern” kitchens, and light and warm colors (beige, sandy, white) - for dark “northern” ones.
In order to emphasize the maritime theme, you can select the accent wall photo wallpaper with a sea plot.

Apron can be decorated with tiles or glass with photo printing, tiles in the Mediterranean style. More universal option - mosaic tile or common "hog". Here are some photo examples of how such an apron might look in a nautical-style kitchen interior.

Decorative ceiling beams.
Paneling of wood panels (or paneling "under the tree").

Furniture

The most versatile colors of the kitchen and dining group in the marine style - white, beige, gray, blue, blue.
The design of facades and furniture can be either classic (with panels, but without decorations), or modern minimalist.

Wooden kitchen furniture can be either whitewashed with antique finish (referring to fishing huts or beach cottages), or dark tones and polished to gloss (according to the type of cabin interiors, trimmed with oak panels).
Wicker furniture made of rattan, willow or wicker can support the sea theme.

Decor

Curtains

The interior of the kitchen in the marine style will be appropriate curtains made of cotton or linen, canvas or burlap, muslin or high-quality blended fabrics.

According to the style fit perfectly - Roman, fabric roller blinds, as well as bamboo / wooden blinds.

As for the design of curtains, they can be solid, simple and even coarse. Curtains in blue and white stripes and with a pattern corresponding to the theme, for example, with corals as in one of the photos in the next slider, will also work.

If you wish, you can dream up on the marine theme and decorate the curtains with fishing nets, ties or holders with your own hands, decorated seashells, starfish or rope rope as in the photo below.

Lighting

As for lighting, continental, rustic and industrial style devices would be appropriate: Edison lamps, street and barn lanterns and lamps made of brass / iron, aluminum, glass hung on ropes or chains. They can be artificially aged - patinated and as if corroded or corroded.

But the coastal style kitchen will be decorated with wicker lampshades and classic lamps a la vintage.
