I am moving into a small apartment...I need INTERIOR DECORATING help/advice!!?
I love the ocean theme. I do not like vintage/pinup/beach themed things, but more of the fish and sea life aspect of the beach/ocean theme. I have a mosiac sculpture that I got from Pangea of a mermaid and tropical fish and seaweed. I want to paint my room a sort of bahama blue to make this sculpture pop out...what color woods should i use for furniture? The rest of my room will revolve around the choices of paint and wood. Or, does anyone have any suggestions of paint besides blue that would compliment my ocean theme?
You are fortunate to be allowed to paint in an apartment, but as you know, the ambiance is in the accessories.
Bahama Blue is a lovely color by itself, paired with a sandy yellow and a peachy pink (not girly pink) with crisp white accents is one of the "traditional" schemes.
Try an accent wall where you blend in some darker blue or green at the bottom, and your white to lighten the top. Let it go a bit wavy and you have a water wall where your underwater decorations feel at home. It doesn't have to be a large wall, and you don't have to show the whole thing, it could be the perfect backdrop for your mosaic.
Then go peruse the fish section of a pet store. The selection of aquarium accents is incredible these days! So realistic. I have a master bathroom done up in an aquatic scheme and since I also keep aquariums, I am familiar with the offerings.
Natural looking resins in typical offerings: brilliant coral without destroying reefs... shells, wrecks and sea monsters on a tray of sand can make a whimsical centerpiece. You will have your own collection to showcase but don't overlook the thrift stores for buying fish toys, shells and seashell jewelry to make new accents.
Try using some of the underwater plants in a large glass container instead of potted plants. With an air stone, you get some really nice effects with bubbles and light, all without having to actually maintain live fish. If live plants are not for you, simply place the plastic "seaweeds" in a container instead... you can build an underwater garden that rivals the real thing with very little effort.
An inexpensive mobile of toy fish dangling from a section of bamboo and fishing line can look surprisingly stylish as a room divider or over curtain.
The most appropriate woods for "Tropical" are bamboo, rattan, and teak. Some people go "Colonial" with dark chocolate and ebony woods.
Wood shutter panels can be hinged together as a stand up screen (think Bahama), or room divider... all manner of sarongs, canvas, and tropical prints can be draped or used as "shade cloths" on portions of the ceiling... also think of bringing patio furniture inside, there is an array of high style recliners and loungers that are very comfortable... don't forget eye popping color and botanical patterns on pillows.
Ok too long, you get my drift.
