Coastal vs. Nautical Decor

When you think of the word “coastal”, your mind usually drifts to pastel colors, seashells and dehydrated star fish for decor. Becky in Omaha, Nebraska has the exact room that you’re picturing when you close your eyes, and she’s been to neither the Pacific or the Atlantic ocean in her lifetime! Coastal decor has become such an overwhelming trend that it’s become bland again.

Nautical decor is a wonderful rustic connection to the past and how everyday life required you to face the harsh reality of life. You can envision how someone would have to use an anchor, or spin a ships wheel – or see a brass light with patina and think of the years of salt water that splashed against it.

There is a time and a place for everything – coastal and nautical decor included. We’re going to be focusing on nautical decor and why you should shop with our family company. We’ve worked with every size of client – and we’re always available to speak with and help you achieve your project goals.

Wall Lighting

Built to withstand harsh maritime environments, brass lights are not only going to last a lifetime – but they look spectacular as well. One simple wall light can turn a corner of darkness into a spot where people stand for a few moments and appreciate the rest of the items on the wall. Pair it with some nautical decor or nautical antiques and you’re doing great!

Ceiling Lights & Pendants

A room can be made, or be destroyed by it’s lighting – and we don’t just mean how well lit it is – we mean the aesthetics of the light itself. With our ship salvaged pendant lights, there is no question that you will have people talking for a long time about how great they look. If you have an extra tall ceiling, reach out to us and we can make custom down rod sizes to meet your needs. Chain is available as well.

Lastly, our ceiling lights sit flush mount against your ceiling and provide a similar but different feeling when installed. Not everything is in brass – we have aluminum and stainless steel for some options as well.

Nautical Antiques and Decor

While lights are the primary seller for our business, a healthy mix of nautical antiques adds a lot to the authentic feel of a good decorated waterfront bar. Sometimes that might be a giant sailfish on the wall, or it could be a cargo net from a tall ship. We’ve got a great selection of authentic nautical antiques and other vintage items for you to choose from. If you want more inspiration, be sure to follow us on social media, especially Pinterest where we will be uploading more nautical restaurant pictures soon.
