Stunning Nautical 

Christmas Decorating

Small nautical touches adorn my home all year.  Incorporating my lighthouses, sailboats and seashells is especially fun at Christmas. 

 Keeping the love of the ocean, beach, sailing alive during the winter brings warm memories to my friends & family.

Whether the seafarer you know is a fisherman, sailor, yacht-er, privateer or merchant marine they'll be singing sea shanties and telling stories all winter long.

Nautical Elegance

This nautical tree with ribbons & poinsettias has an essence of elegance 
that will shine like a beacon in the night.  

At the same time the shells, fauns and boats creates a relaxing ambiance.

This style will take you from warm cozy evenings by the fire to elegant dinner parties with family and friends.
 

 The nautical garland and wreath are Christmas decorations from the 
upscale Disney Yacht Club Resort in Florida.


 

I am going to order some captain hats to add to my tree decor next year.

Traditional Christmas Red 
Married to Seafaring Decor

If you are like me you want a few touches of the Christmas spirit to adorn every room in your house.  This seaside sitting room is fresh & light as the salty air.

                                        


                 

Spruces in red tin pots decorate the coffee table, and knitted stockings with images of sailboats hang on the ladder accessing the loft.  Find more images of this year round nautically decorated beach house at Coastal Living.

Add a finishing touch by embellishing the greenery with seashells, lights 
and ornaments.

Nautical Christmas goes Non-Traditional
in Coastal/Marine Colors

The beautiful light shades of various blues and aquas immediately 
transport one to the coast.


 The mesh ribbon and rope on this tree are uniquely wonderful nautical touches.  The sand dollar ornaments painted in blue and green glitter like the sun hitting the waves adds a touch of sparkle.  

 This nautical dining room is gorgeous in various shades of blue.  The clam shell filled with ornaments, the nautical wreath, greenery and Santa add a festive Christmas touch. 
The understated room remains stylish with these 
understated holiday touches. 

 Natural, Neutral, Airy & Charming

 The neutral colors of the sandy beach create a natural & charming beachy look.

One of my favorite Christmas festivities on the coast is the boat parades.  
The lights brilliantly sparkling off the water bring the 
Christmas spirit and magic to all.


The sea can be a harsh mistress and no one knows that fact better than seafarers who are brave enough to set sail across her stormy waters.  

While you may be a land lover that doesn't mean you can't get gifts for nautical enthusiasts in your family this holiday.
