Re: Sailing Inspired Family Room

I'm not into themed rooms either but I could live with this one if you decluttered the artwork on the wall and removed the blue book covers from all the books.

Re: Sailing Inspired Family Room

I like this family room a lot, but in someone else's house, not mine.  I'ved worked in international shipping for over 30 years and wouldn't want to think about it when I am not working, LOL.   To me, the colors and decor are are very calming.

Wow that’s a lotta blue. It definitely masculine. I love how the pics frame the doorway.

Re: Sailing Inspired Family Room

I do see a navy couch that matches the chair and it appears there's a tv over the white mantel--if you look in the reflection of the lamp.  I imagine there may be more seating from where the picture is being shot.

 

I think the room is pretty.  But I'm not sure if they needed to cover all the books blue.  That's a little strange.  TBH, my coffee table books do match the decor of my livingroom, but they are also great to pick up and read/skim thru the pictures.

I like the navy and white, but could never live w/all those pictures.

This room and its contents are arranged with military precision.  I'd hate to see their Christmas tree.  I knew a couple like this.

Re: Sailing Inspired Family Room

I think it's a wonderful room, and very fitting for this family. ... tastefully done.

Re: Sailing Inspired Family Room

I’m also not into theme rooms as a rule.

 

But I do like many elements of this one.

The navy is way overdone to my taste, and the precision makes me twitch.

Re: Sailing Inspired Family Room

@lolakimono  I like the furniture and colors, and it is perfect for a sailor.  While it is not for me, it could work for me with other art work.
