Once you own your luxury waterfront home at the Lake of the Ozarks, you have to decide what you are going to do with the inside of it. A very popular theme when you live near a lake is nautical. Seashells, sailboats, anchors... There are lots of things that make you think "lake" that look very nice placed decoratively around the house.
The view outside the window of your Mission Bay home is like a beautiful portrait of the lake hanging on your wall. That's practically decoration enough, but if you would like to further the "lake" theme in your own house, here are a few ideas to work with.
Boats
Trying to decorate with a nautical theme and not including a boat somewhere in there is just silly. It doesn't even have to be the entire boat. Lots of different parts of the boat can be used. Curtains made out of sails would be a nice touch in a lake house. An old wooden ship's wheel hanging on the wall is really cool. Add a few throw pillows with anchors printed on them to the couch.
Rope
Rope is very versatile as a decorative element. It can be wrapped around anything - the base of a candle, a mason jar, a metal trash can, even a flower pot. Bits of rope can be used as tie backs for curtains. It can be added to picture frames too. Floor rugs made out of rope look great with this theme and they can stand up to a lot of traffic.Shells
These come in small, medium, and large sizes. They can be placed pretty much anyplace and lake side whimsy is automatically added to the room. It can be a fun hobby to keep an eye out for unique shells and rocks to add to your collection whenever you are out. They can be used as accent pieces, grouped with candles for a centerpiece, or smaller ones can even be displayed in a shadow box on the wall.
Sand
Sand is excellent in the bottom of large candle holders. Special frames are made to display sand from trips around photographs. It also looks pretty in a large bowl with candles, shells, rocks, etc... placed in it.Signs
Wooden signs with catchy sayings add a wonderful touch to any lake house. You can find them at most gift stores or get some old pieces of wood and stencil your own. Here are a few good ones.
"What happens at the lake house, stays at the lake house."
"Life is better in flip flops."
"Home is where the anchor drops."
"Mermaids welcome."
