Need some ideas for paint colors in my living room...?
We're going for the nautical look in our living room. What color paint would look best with the old sail boats and lighthouses?
Choose a coastal color from blues to sea foam green if the color of your furniture and decor is more neutral, (beige/brown/gray) or sand dollar white is also popular in nautical themes, or opt for sandy beige to taupe or even a combination of colors.
These may give you some ideas and inspiration.

Beach Home Decor Can Make The Home Life Seem Like Paradise
Few people dislike the beach and, in fact, a love for the beach is a common ground for quite a lot of people. This is also why coastal home decor has become such a popular market. By putting a bit of the beach into a few different rooms, the house may feel a little bit more relaxing. Soon, everyone will be wearing sunglasses and bathing suits, lying back on the couch. This bliss usually starts with the bathroom.
Bathrooms are a great place to start decorating because there are so many accessories already available for the room. The bathroom is also one of the most impressing places of a house. People like clean and relaxing bathrooms with pleasant smells. By adding the beach to the bathroom, guests will feel very comfortable and may even express their enjoyment to the owner.
When a shower curtain is changed, the lighting and tone can also change dramatically. This is because the shower curtain is one of the biggest structures in the room that has the ability to be opaque, transparent, or translucent. When choosing a new shower curtain, it is recommended that an individual try to match the shower curtain to the already existing floor.
The accessories available for this room can range from figurines of all types to some more functional items that are also just as beautiful. There are shell-encrusted mirrors along with bath accessories such as soap dishes to help bring this theme to life. By simply placing the right color and sized conch shells on a shelf space or toilet tank cover, one can bring a bit of the shore right to their home.
Coastal home decor is in no way limited to the bathroom. The living area and bedrooms can benefits greatly from a few ocean side touches. There are table lamps available with shells as accents along with statuettes and figurines that remind people of a summer day at the shore. Lighthouses factor in greatly in designing this type of look for a home.
Lighthouses can represent many different things, but a few of the most notable representations are guidance and safety, while also representing a scenic shore. Lighthouses can be found in various sizes as figurines, or an individual could find a painting and set it up as a backdrop. In fact, any painting of a beach scene will work as a good backdrop for a room.
Once a good painting has been chosen for a room, one can decide what colors to paint the room. The ordering of this could also be revered so that the painting is chosen based on the already existing colors of the room. Regardless, the colors of the room should also be matched with the lighting to create the right effect, whether it is sunrise, midday, sunset, or midnight.
