Six nautical-inspired accessories for pretty summer decor

West Elm

Nautical looks have been popping up in home decor everywhere this season and this is one trend I'm really excited to see. While it seems like an "of the moment" look, conjuring images of summers spent by the water, nautical-themed pieces are also timeless. It's a perennial classic that mixes beach-aquatic with an element of sophistication.

Here are a few of my favourite picks this season:
