DIY Nautical Decor Ideas

I shared this post over at Mohawk Flooring’s blog Creative Home a few weeks ago, but thought many of you would enjoy reading it here too! I mean, who doesn’t love some DIY Nautical Decor Ideas?

Some people like to use nautical decor only in beach houses or during the summer months, while others embrace it year round. I personally don’t think there is a wrong way to use it! And it just happens that is is trending in the design world right now.

If you still haven’t incorporated any into your home, here are some great ideas and tutorials.

Current snap shot of our main family room! We will Current snap shot of our main family room! We will be starting phase 1 in here later this year and I wanted to capture it as it stands now. Almost everything in here was either brought from our Washington home 3 years ago or bought second hand! Piece by piece this room has become a cozy space for our family over the last 3 years. The new stairs are staying and will work into the new design, I love them so much.

It was tricky. But I’m glad we kept going because the look is everything we envisioned and exactly what my son wanted. I still have lots more to do in here, it’s not even close to being finished. But I’m sure loving the dramatic before and after so far. Linking all sources.

I’ve been looking for the perfect accent chairs I’ve been looking for the perfect accent chairs for our family room for years! Any time we have guests over, or our whole family wants to hang out together, it always feels like we could use a few more seats to spread out and get comfy. I have had my eye on these gorgeous Vail accent chairs from @denvermodern and they didn’t disappoint. The leather is soft and high quality, they are wide and comfortable and the brass accents are chef’s kiss. They are perfection.
