If a blue and white nautical theme feels too over the top, evoking a sense of the ship in a room may be a more appropriate design choice. A gorgeous antique model sailboat, reclaimed sails used as cloth or vintage pieces from vessels no longer in use are all great ways to conjure the feel of the sea. For boaters and seafaring folk, bringing a piece of a favorite hobby home can make it feel like summer all year.
