Sea Chic

Winter Market Sketchbook

This season, a crisp, modern viewpoint anchors a wave of nautical-inspired designs. Simple, honest materials like jute, bamboo and capiz give a nod to smooth sailing, floating in ropes, stripes and other nautical insignia. As refreshing as an ocean breeze, these yacht-worthy offerings immerse the deck in luxe looks with a fancy-free attitude.

Greek key motifs submerge the surface of Peking Handicraft's wool hook rug in Aegean hues of blue, backed in cotton canvas ($160, 3×5).

	Juicy orange gourds cause a big splash in Three Hands' bold, monochromatic lamp ($69).
	Thick coils of jute create a buoy-inspired ottoman chock full of nautical charm in the Harborside design from Two's Company ($245 each).
A scalloped ribbon of silver surrounds a seaworthy shell platter, part of Chelsea House's new gift line.
A twist on the traditional hurricane shape, Interlude Home's updated version emits moody, dramatic candlelight like a beacon ($129 ea ch).
	Elaine Smith's outdoor pillow boasts a nautical-inspired cross in a crisp, elegantly classic color combination ($129).
	Lazy Susan's Ginger Spike Lontar urns mimic the spiny texture of sea urchins, crafted from sustainable fan palm ($74 to $138).
Nautical knots punch up the rope motif trays from DB Sources, handcrafted in shimmering capiz shell ($225, set of two).

ALL PRICES ARE SUGGESTED RETAIL.
