Maritim living style: furnishing with sea flair

Whoever has the sea in front of them simply lives more relaxed. We notice that on every beach vacation. We show you how to give your own home a maritime atmosphere.

Do you also dream of living by the water? From a house by the sea - or at least by a lake? It should be airy and light, look for sun and beach and freshness, that's how the Long Island Style is defined. Just like last summer's house, with its white-painted floorboards and bleached wooden furniture. So why not just set up your four walls? You cannot bring ocean views and chirping chirps home. But maritime lifestyle!

Aqua color

Clearly: The colors of the coast are blue and white, like those of sky and sea. But what does blue mean? Its palette ranges from azure to turquoise, from ultramarine to bleu. White is also variable: sometimes champagne, sometimes lime-colored, sometimes with a hint of silver. Mix a potpourri, you can't go wrong. Brave people paint the wooden floor lavender blue and the walls white - or vice versa. If you want to feel your way slowly, hang light blue stores on the window. Or you can paint a large-format cloud picture. Take bright wallpaper, nettle or canvas and brush up a piece of heaven with water, dispersion or oil paints: sheep clouds, feather clouds, just as you please. You hang your work on the wall: pin it or use a picture bar.

Fine finish

The golden shimmer of sand in the sun, the tired shine of driftwood: perfect when furniture and accessories evoke such associations. Wicker or sisal carpets encourage walking barefoot, rattan baskets

have exactly the desired casual look. You can have simple furniture made of wood fade yourself: with steel wool you work in lime wax, which ensures a silvery, shiny surface. Large, round-cut pebbles, as if randomly distributed, contribute gray-beige, hazy coastal colors.
