Here's a "Team Sport": Interior Design with Nautical Chart Wallpaper

One of our most magnificent projects has been an entertainment room in the basement of Kristin Paton’s client’s home. Working with Becky Bratt and Kristin, we worked for weeks together to achieve nautical chart wallpaper mural greatness!

A Nautical Chart Wallpaper Mural sets the mood for this nautical family room.

This project had five walls to cover with Nautical Chart Wallpaper.

This job is a great example of how interior designers work with us. They provided elevations of this room, and in the elevations, areas were laid out for the television, wet bar, refrigerator, stairwells, etc. For example, a key area, Morris Island, was to be visible in the bar area and the mural was to bend around the wall to the left. The problem was that the chart ended before the wall could wrap properly, so we needed to stitch one chart to another flawlessly.

For the television, we needed to have the shoreline of Cape Cod just a bit above the top of the television screen. Magnification of all the charts on all five walls had to be the same.

Ideas were submitted, ideas were rejected, and the process repeated a few times until the layout achieved perfection from the client’s perspective.

The southeast corner of Cape Cod makes a lovely backdrop for this bar area.

Now it was the interior designer’s turn to purchase sofas, chairs, tables, and other nautical decor items to complete the mood. The results are, as you can see, breathtaking.

We often work directly with clients to create our famous custom-made nautical chart wallpaper, but if budget allows, you can see what symbiotic excellence can be had by having superb designers on the decorating team such as Kirstin Paton Interiors and Becky Bratt to bring your room together beautifully!

  "Skipper" Steve Morris has been sailing for more than 45 years. Whenever Skipper's sailor friends used to talk about their sailing adventures, it was not unusual for them to grab a chart, unroll it to a certain island or waterway, and tell a story of what happened during a particular voyage. As Skipper realized that nautical charts are used for navigating stories as well as passageways, the idea of nautical chart murals came naturally. What better place to tell a tale of the sea than in one's own home or office than with a beautiful nautical chart mural as the visual aid!

   In 2013, he moved to the Coeur d'Alene area of Northern Idaho with his wife Linda. When Skipper is not working on murals, you can find him sailing his Erickson 27' on Lake Coeur d’Alene.

   He continues to design custom-made wallpaper from nautical charts, satellite photos, topographical maps and favorite photos.
