IDEA 1: Hang a vertically striped Roman Blind against white or off white walls. This will accentuate the height of the ceiling and contrast with the walls and woodwork. Choose a fabric that has muted tones of blues and creams. This will give you a more nautical feeling rather than a deckchair style. I rather like Clarke & Clarke's Maritime collection, like this one...

IDEA 2: Add a statement floor lamp in the corner for target lightling. With its tripod base, this striking tripod floor lamp resembles a telescope, making it perfect for a seaside-style. These are often found in charity shops! Go on, try bargain hunting for something similar!

IDEA 3: Finally, how about putting together a personal display of your own by grouping prints, paintings and photos in a collection of mismatched frames? This can be easily done instead of wallpapering to create a feature wall above the chest of drawers or fireplace making it a unique and personal display.
Like what you see and what to buy the look? I recommend you try these:
