The Best Window Shades for Nautical Designs

Nautical interior design is welcoming and relaxing. It calls to you like a beach weekend on a Wednesday afternoon, a place you long to be. Nautical design can also be called costal design as it pulls from the color palette found along the ocean coastline. Sand-colored tans and whites are the foundational hues with blue as the primary accent color and green as a secondary accent choice. Material selection is also inspired by the coastal environment with natural woods, reeds, and grasses popping up in design as well as natural cottons. Accessories in nautical design often pull from marine motifs including ropes, anchors, seashells, nautical maps, or boats. The best window shades for rooms or homes with nautical themes pull from those same design motifs including a costal color palette and natural materials.

Window shades near Brunswick, Georgia (GA), that pair well with nautical designs.

The Best Window Shades for Nautical Design

Wood Shades

Raw woods are often used in furniture and décor for nautical design, and homeowners can pull that natural element into window shades to continue the motif. White plantation shutters and woven wood shades are two examples of wooden window treatments from Hunter Douglas that work in nautical design. White plantation shutters, with their clean lines and bright feel, look stellar in nautical styles. Or, for a more flexible look to compliment the flowing aesthetic of costal vibes, woven wood shades like Provenance® Woven Wood Shades from Hunter Douglas use woven woods, reeds, and grasses which tie wonderfully with both the raw materials used in the style and the costal feel this design style creates.

Naval Striping

Some of the best window shades for nautical décor share a bold and eye-catching design feature, naval stripes. Blue and white striping has long been a hallmark of the maritime motifs in nautical décor, and many styles of modern shades in the Design Studio™ collection from Hunter Douglas offer both classic and modern interpretations of naval stripes. Floor-to-ceiling drapery is one popular window treatment that can hold the bold aesthetic of more traditional horizontal lines. There are also many modern prints from the Rebecca Atwood fabric collection in the Design Studio™ suite of products that take a more organic and contemporary spin on traditional striping that also make striking drapes or side panels in homes with nautical themes.

Sheer Shades

If your nautically themed home is lucky enough to actually be on the coast, an undeniably visual draw is probably the costal view itself. Sheer shades like Silhouette® Window Shadings and Pirouette® Window Shadings have amazing view-through capabilities whist still providing privacy and light control for homeowners. And, their slatted design and linear pattern play visual homage to the naval striping and classic plantation shutters popular in nautical design.
