You don't need to be a sailor to enjoy the aesthetically pleasing decor, that is ship models and everything nautical. For whatever reason, be it pirate movies, marines, dark spiced rum or bodybuilders with anchor tattoos, everything 'cool' relies on nautical symbolism, ideology or symbols. There's something about a life at sea that brings out the heart and soul in all of us. For this reason, you've decided (very rightly so, I might add) that it's about time to work some nautical decor into your home, leaving you with one less house and one more ship cabin. Here are some tips for bringing out the most in your new, sailorfied home.

1. Keeping it Simple
If you're simply looking at throwing around some ship decor without going all out with it, your best bet is to work some model ships into your living space. Some nice, tall ship models can turn heads and drastically change the atmosphere of a room without leaving the rest of your decor worthless. When incorporating other styles alongside your inner sailor, ship models are always the way to go.
2. Going All Out
If keeping it simple isn't your thing, we've got some tips for you as well. If you're looking to completely revamp your home, you should be looking beyond model ships. Of coarse, these are still necessary, but this is where you can incorporate things of a larger scale. Ship wallpaper? Why not? Ship bed frames? Definitely. Nothing makes your new ships stick out like the proper background. The lesson here is that keeping it simple with model ships or going all out are your two best options. Having a sailor-centric dining room with an industrial-looking kitchen just doesn't work as well as it could.
3. Use The Right Colors
Of coarse, your new ship decor can be any color you want. But if you happen to be painting, buying new furniture or pillows, etc. blue and white are your friends, as well as brown. Mixing blue and white around a room sets the atmosphere like nothing else when used in conjunction with your new nautical decor. Brown is also quite nice, but not in conjunction with blue and white. Get what I'm saying? Keep some sense of color-matching while using colors to your advantage. This is sure to give your new decor way more oomph.
In the end, how far you want to go with this is up to you. Either way, though, using the above tips is the best way to make your new model ships pop.

1800's Baltimore Clipper Harvey Model Ship
Originally known as a Virginia-built boat, the fast and lean craft that was built at Fells Point and other locations evolved over time, emphasizing speed, weatherly sailing abilities, and handling over everything else. A Baltimore Clipper type can best be defined by extremely tall and raking masts, very little rigging, low freeboard, great rake at both the stem and stern, with the keel featuring a great amount of drag from front to rear. A Baltimore Clipper features a great deal of deadrise, and slack bilges. They had a decent amount of beam for their length and were flush-decked for easy handling of guns and sails.
