Sea as a Design Inspiration

Sea is a natural resource that is often associated with relaxation and refreshment. Perhaps, this is precisely the reason why more and more people decide to temporarily or permanently stay by the sea or on the sea. Of course, it is not a new trend, but a lifestyle that has been present since time immemorial. Also, the sea has always been an inspiration to artists and designers.

One of the ways of decorating the walls in the interior is to paint sea motifs such as fish and shellfish. Another way is to stencil them onto the walls. The marine area is rich with beautiful scenes that you can transfer into the interior. For example, wall coverings offer a wide variety of themes – beaches, lighthouses, ships, and town scenes, just to name a few.
