Under The Sea Dining

...

File this one away under 'navy addiction'. I created this dreamy dining space to include navy grass cloth walls, gilded seafaring accents, and a sleek, modern dining set with gold trim details.

This room is not just for your beach house. In fact I actually designed it with the vision of a high-end New York City apartment in mind. It's great to add unexpected decorative touches that create a play on an otherwise assumed look. The key is to pick one or two 'themed' details that don't take the whole vision overboard. The three-piece octopus art work would be an obvious choice in your house by the sea, but surprise people by adding it in your downtown apartment or suburban home.
