Unlike Beach Decor, Nautical Decor is all about life at sea...
... making items that are used on a ship part of the decor, such as brass lighting fixtures, nautical cleats, ropes, portholes...
... or hang a real boat off the wall for that matter...
... or take part of a boat and give it a new life as a side table. Don't you just love creative recycling!
But it can be subtle like in this kitchen..., nautical decor items such as a brass lantern and
Nantucket Baskets on a shelf..., and how clever, a porthole window in the door..
... and of course a
Model Yacht Display and a couple of
Wooden Oars...
definitely nautical charts, here in frames..., and an
Authentic Ship Wheel...
... and if mounting the ship wheel on the wall is too ordinary for you, here is an idea...
... and when it's party time raise some
Nautical Signal Flags...
... and during your alone time spy on your neighbors with a nice brass telescope..., but of course not, I know everyone who has one of those is bird watching...
... and no ship or boat can do without a compass, here as a floor inlay. Nautical Decor inspiration for the sailor at heart..., or people like me, who just love the romance of it. I hope I didn't leave anything out.

That boat-to-table is very interesting! Very unique. Along with the boat on the wall. thanks, -susan
You do know how to weave a story of beautiful photos, how cool to have boat parts in a house.
We have that pillow that says "Don't Give Up the Ship" it was my ancestor Oliver Hazard Perry that said it during the battle of Lake Erie. It is a common theme in my mom's home. Love all the photos you posted! "The nautical signal flags" are great!! I'd love to have those around for a party!
I LOVE the idea of the ship wheel sink. If done correctly, and it certainly is in the picture you show, what a fabulous conversation piece. And, lends perfectly to built-in towel racks!
