Nautical Rugs
Use Nautical Rugs in the Bath, Kitchen, or Family Room
Nautical rugs are a popular design element in ocean- and beach-themed rooms. These area rugs can be a printed, hooked, or tufted. They are equally at home as accents or as beautiful focal points placed in the center of a room.
Popular in bathrooms, nautical themes incorporate shells and other beach elements, including fish and sea life. To compliment this comfortable, breezy look, don't settle for plain bath rugs! Jazz up your bathroom with an area rug that depicts New England boat scenes, beautiful lighthouses or underwater life.
The nautical touch also works well in kitchen and family rooms. Here, nautical themes usually center around lighthouses or beach-inspired design.
Rugs with nautical themes are often machine made and maintained with minimal care. Despite what your grandmother may have told you, Rug manufacturers recommend vacuuming instead of beating. If you take a rug outside and shake or beat it, it can lose structural integrity. This weakening can cause rugs with printed patterns to warp or crack, and the weave to break apart.
When shopping for one of these beautiful designs to compliment your home, you may have a difficult time finding a good selection of nautical styles from which to choose. Because your local rug and department stores must carry a wide variety of styles, they're most likely limited to just a few options. Be sure to check online retailers for a larger selection of nautical-themed rugs.
