Making Waves

Making Waves

If you’ve been keeping up with our blogs, and I know you have because you’re awesome, you know our Oceanus Series is one of our most popular collections! Everyone loves the beach and anything beach-related. The seaside is one of the most relaxing places one can imagine. The smell of salt, the warm breeze, and, my favorite, the waves crashing lightly against the coast—you can hear it, right? I know I can!

Waves are beautiful, terrifying, and majestic. They can bring a sense of serenity or utter chaos. Sometimes, my goal is to become a human embodiment of a wave….but that’s just me. While I spend my time figuring out how to be the wave I deserve to be, let’s talk about you and your future wave-themed home. All waves are beautiful, but I am absolutely obsessed with traditional Japanese Nami wave art. We all know the ones.

Interior designers, fashion designers, and artists draw inspiration from the beautiful works of traditional Japanese artists, and for good reason! The sereneness of the soft color palettes in contrast to the harsh lines is one thing that makes these paintings so memorable. I see many fashions inspired by Nami waves, whether abstract or literal.

Alena Akhmadullina Russia Spring 2016 is a literal adaptation of Nami waves, transforming models into walking tsunami paintings. So beautifully done.

Or try this great Japanese bomber jacket! It features Nami waves, cherry blossoms, and a beautiful mix of hard and soft.

While these are gorgeous, fashion isn’t the only avenue that creates waves. Home decor can easily take on a seaside twist. Maybe you aren’t ambitious enough to go out like creative sea lovers.

As gorgeous and extravagant as these designs are, some prefer the subtle side of things. Here are a couple of wave-themed decorative pieces for any size home.

Whether you’re more on the subtle side of things, go big, or go home like I am, a beautiful “Oceanus Waves” wave-inspired decorative drain will be the perfect touch for any bathroom, kitchen, boat, or pool area. Our stainless steel drain covers come in all shapes, sizes, and colors and will add the perfect touch to your home. Also, don’t forget to check out our Designer Drains Pinterest! It is packed with home decor ideas for every room of the house. Our Ocean Getaway board will be just what you need to keep inspired for your waved-themed bathroom~!
