Set Sail This Summer with Nautical
Paint Hues
Color Tips from the Rohm and Haas Paint Quality
Institute
 Crisp blues, bright whites, a dash of red. With
summer just around the corner, there is no better
way to celebrate summers arrival than to create
a sea-faring environment in your living space.
Through the simple use of paint hues, a single
room or your entire home can become a harbor
for family and friends. Incorporate these easy
paint ideas and treat your family to a day at
the beach without ever leaving the driveway.
This year, “vacation” in your own
living space!
Happy
Painting,

 Traditional navy blue coupled with crisp white
evokes a living space reminiscent of a beach vacation.
Using blue and white, paint wide nautical stripes
and finish with a band of red around the ceiling.
Update furniture with a new coat of white paint
and decorate with seashells and sailboats.
Create a soothing ocean getaway in your bedroom
or bath by incorporating sandy tans, sea glass
greens and aqua blues. For a child’s room,
use beach towels and surfboards as summer color
inspiration.
 Not ready for an entire room makeover? Transform
a foyer into a welcoming reception area by simply
painting an accent wall in a summer-like hue
complementary to your current color scheme. Sunny
yellow, lime green or crisp blue are the perfect
paint colors to create a vacation entranceway.
