-

Cover the floor with a taupe carpet, which will work well with the blue wells.

3
Choose either white or brown furniture pieces such as bed frame, nightstands, desk and couch. White provides a contrast against the blue of the walls and reinforces the nautical theme. Brown wood, on the other hand, will create an atmosphere inspired by a rustic fishing cabin.

4
Opt for blue bedding. Accent it with either fish-printed or plaid throw pillows and blankets. If using plaid fabrics, choose ones that use dark green and yellow. Consider stitching white fish netting onto decorative pillows. Use similar accents for a couch in fishing-themed room.

5
Place fishing tackle boxes or fishing creels onto the floor by the desk, bed or couch. Use them to store items such as magazines, books or toys.
-
6
Mount a fishing rod or wooden fishing net onto one of the walls. Ideally, these items should be placed onto the wall behind the bed or the couch, making them a main focal point of the room.
-
7
Accessorize with remaining walls with prints of fish, boats, lighthouses and photos of family members fishing. Display these items in tan frames.
-
8
Place lantern-style lamps onto surfaces such as the desk or nightstands. You can even use camping lanterns to channel a rugged, outdoorsy atmosphere.
