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.

Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! W Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! We had these custom gas copper lanterns made by @bevolo to bring the perfect blend of timeless craftsmanship and character to our beautiful stone and brick exterior. 🤎 they are exactly what we envisioned! STUNNING. From the custom design to the warm, flickering glow after dark, every detail works together to create a look that feels both elevated and inviting. 

We couldn’t be happier with how our custom lanterns turned out. They bring the perfect finish touches to our exterior. My favorite part of our house just got even better. The happiness I feel every time I see them flickering in the night ❤️
