Nautical Cottage Kitchen

Designer Gary McBournie created a subtle nautical theme without going overboard in this fisherman’s cottage. Kitchen cabinetry was made by Nantucket furniture maker Carter Mitchell. The open grate design allows for ventilation and the concealment of appliances. Simple plank flooring is painted Benjamin Moore’s Deep Ocean and spattered in red, white, and blue. Sconces are brass marine fixtures.

This kitchen has a great feel to it. I can image living in old, time worn house by the beach, sipping my tea in this kitchen. I have a real weakness for exposed rafters.

There is something so magical about these types of spiral staircases, I always imagine they lead up to some strange, mystical wonderland. Wonderful nautical themed room features in Coastal Living.

This nautical color palette with it’s vibrant blue, cheerful red and lots of white screams summer!

Look to the water. If you have spectacular ocean views, let the water replace interior blue hues and introduce extra hints of red for contrast.

A lovely porch perfect for seaside living with a white, blue and red color scheme.

Red is an intense and aggressive color, so it works best as an accent.

Reds will dominate and come forward and blues will recede. With a combination of stripes and patterns you can create the perfect lively nautical themed living room that is a pleasure to be in.

Consider using your boldest hue (in this case red) on an accent wall. When you’re working with several shades, the brightest color will showcase the wall with the most interesting features.
