Color selection
As the main palette, choose colors that imitate sea, sandy, beach and tropical shades.
A children's room in a similar style is decorated not only in white-blue or blue tones, evoking associations with deep ocean waters, but also in turquoise, emerald and azure colors or sea green. An effective solution would be to use beige or brown tones that convey the shade of a ship's deck.
The photo shows white and natural wood shades in the interior design of a children's room in a marine style.
This style involves a combination of blue, associated with a cloudless sky and sea, with yellow, reminiscent of sand.
Finishing floors, walls, ceilings
Creating an interior always begins with the design of surfaces. They set the main stylistic direction and are the background for the rest of the decor.
Wall decoration
It is recommended to use blue color for wall decoration. It also looks nice in a children's room if the blue is diluted with wallpaper with a white, sand, or beige tint.
Designers also suggest using the “vest” option for wall decoration, decorating one of the corners with vertical stripes of different widths. They go well with other prints - check and zigzag.
For a room for kids you can find wallpaper with boats, and for girls - with mermaids and fish. Drawings made by a child look original on the walls.
Older kids will prefer to see a map of the seas or a large photo of a pirate ship on the wall.
Ceilings
For a marine style, a 2-level ceiling is more suitable. The color should match the shades of the walls.
As a decoration, a traditional chandelier can be replaced with a ship's steering wheel hanging from the ceiling, or star-shaped lamps.
Floors
In order for the room to match the theme, the child should feel the deck under his feet. Wooden floors will play its role perfectly. Natural material can be replaced with parquet, textured laminate, and carpet can be laid in the children's room.
The choice of flooring depends on the direction:
- for the beach option, beige laminate is preferable;
- in a ship theme, a parquet or wooden floor in a light brown color will look more organic;
- if fragments of the seabed are depicted on the walls, then it is better to cover the floor with ultramarine carpet.
In the children's room, it is recommended to lay a rug, the design of which will be combined with the rest of the furnishings. But a simple striped rug will also do.
Sea party for children: congratulatory part
The presenters will, of course, be dad and mom, who will be the captain and his assistant. You can also involve brothers, sisters or aunts and uncles - they will get the role of sailors.
Captain: I am pleased to welcome guests on my ship Atlantis. But let me ask, what kind of holiday, what reason for such a meeting?
The children answer in chorus that it is a birthday.
Captain: What a surprise. Do you know that the ship will not be able to sail around the world until we initiate this new guy into the sea wolves. The ritual is very complex and requires the participation of all the friends of the birthday boy. Are you ready to take this test?
Children: Yes, we are ready.
Captain: Then let's get started. I ask you the most difficult questions, and you listen carefully and answer quickly. If you agree, shout in unison: “Yes, yes, yes.” If you don’t like my saying, answer: “No, no, no.” If you answer all the questions correctly, the ship with dedicated sailors will be able to set off on a long journey.
I was told that we are celebrating a birthday today? (Yes Yes Yes)
And all the guests are also in a very sad mood? (No no no)
And the guys, guests, young sailors - everyone loves adventures? (Yes Yes Yes)
And, of course, treats made from leeches and snails? (No no no)
Let's congratulate (Name of the birthday boy) amicably and cheerfully? (Yes Yes Yes)
And would you like to wish him two marks and twos in his diary? (No no no)
Or would it be better to give him cool gifts? (Yes Yes Yes)
Say rude and bad words? (No no no)
Will (birthday boy's name) be a good sailor? (Yes Yes Yes)
And have you answered all the questions? (Yes Yes Yes)
Let's hit the road then? (Yes Yes Yes)
It remains to initiate you all and (Name of the birthday boy) into sailors? (Yes Yes Yes)
Captain to Mate: It's time for initiation! Provide everything needed for the ritual.
The chief mate and sailors bring out the props.
Captain to the birthday boy: Come forward! You have the honor of becoming the leader of these sea wolves. Therefore, you will go through the initiations first. Are you ready? But know that you have a great responsibility for the entire team. To initiate, kneel down and remove your headdress.
The birthday boy gets down on one knee, and the captain puts a saber on his shoulder, as if knighting him.
Captain to the birthday boy:
– Are you brave, dexterous and courageous? (the birthday boy agrees)
– Are you ready to lead the ship and friends to foreign shores? (Yes )
– I initiate you into the sea wolves and give you the reins of the ship. Guys, let's congratulate your new captain and shout loudly: “Hurray!”
The children join in with the greeting.
Mate: But the test is not over. The brave young captain must choose his team, distributing responsibilities among all the guests. We will need a boatswain, a cook, a lookout and an assistant for the young captain.
Distribute pre-prepared outfits to children. The birthday boy distributes roles among friends, and they come up with funny nautical nicknames for themselves.
Captain: I want to meet the new team.
Each child shakes the captain's hand and introduces himself.
Mate and sailor: So you don’t know how to say hello in the naval way at all. Who greets you like that? Watch how you do it and repeat after us.
The presenters show funny greetings, and the children repeat after them:
- rubbing noses;
- pushing their stomachs;
- clap on the sides;
- pushing with their forearms.
Captain: The team is assembled! Incredible adventures await us ahead. Everyone come on board.
Helpers invite children into the room where the makeshift ship stands, or remove the screen from it. We invite the team to board and take their seats.
Mate: But we also have a map. It is impossible to go on a journey without a map.
Removes the curtain from the map.
Assistant Captain: Wow! That's the task. We will visit several ports around the world. The route is not easy. And in every port a difficult test awaits us. But we are a friendly team and will definitely cope with all the difficulties along the way.
Sailor: Will there be a reward, a reward for such tests?
Captain: Of course it will. And what kind of one?
Children begin to ask what awaits them, what the prize will be
Captain: According to the law of the sea, only the most courageous sailors will be able to complete the entire route, and prizes await the most courageous. But, if we chicken out and allow slack, we will lose both the ship and the main reward - a gift for the birthday boy. Do you agree to these conditions?
The children agree.
