Yes, you can use the words 'sophisticated' and 'Nautical Theme' in the same sentence. You do not have to use the stereotypical red and blue color scheme. You do not have to have cartoon sailboats all over the room. You certainly do not need to have a boat in a bottle. Here are some ideas for a sophisticated nautical theme bedroom.
Paint the upper walls of the room in a dark navy color. The lower walls of the room and the doorway and window trim of the room can be natural wood (with wood paneling on the lower walls) or white, and paneled or with a chair rail.
Purchase an antique map or two and have it framed to for the wall. If you choose, you can also wallpaper one wall of the room in an antique map design.
Instead of using curtain rods, install oars in its place and hang tie-top curtains from them or another type of curtain that will allow the oars to show.
Furniture should coordinate with the walls in the room, in either painted white or rich wood. Finally, look for
unique wall art pieces that give the room a nautical touch without being too cutesy. This
Siradia Metal Wall Yacht in a Nautical Theme would be a great piece to place on any wall in your room.
You can even purchase two of them and place them above the dresser or the bed. This
metal wall art in the shape of a yacht is 32"W x 32"H, and has a wonderful three-dimensional design.
