Industrial Nautical Style

Let's go sailing into the Industrial Nautical Age of the 21st century.

What’s that? Well, simply a rustic, metallic distressed edge is added to the quintessential nautical style, creating a casually handsome boathouse ambiance.

 The core of this industrial style is to expose those elements which are usually hidden from view! Exposed brickwork and beams, nuts, bolts, wheels and mechanisms which have seen their day can once again be appreciated for their practical beauty. It may also be called uprecycling.

Nautical objects of this nature are probably abundant in our Bayside homes. Some examples maybe vintage bulkhead lights, all sorts of old boat and marine fittings, rustic model (and real) boats, lanterns, distressed wood, leather and rope, maps, globes, oars, nets etc.

 Colours of the nautical scheme traditionally revolve around shades of blue and white with accents of red, but one can be more neutral with taupes, beiges, greys and white.

Work these colours within your soft furnishings and décor items. Our nautically inspired fabrics, model boats, faux wood grain wallpaper and worn leather chair all contribute to the warmth and interest of this bespoke sailor’s sanctuary
