How to Create a Little Mermaid Inspired Interior

If you dream of a life under the sea then why not transform your home into a ‘Little Mermaid’ inspired haven that features all things nautical and nice. This classic Disney tale of a mermaid who bargains her voice so she can walk on land (to find her true love) is definitely one of my favourite stories and features some of the most memorable and funny characters in Disney history. From beautiful Ariel and her ocean friends Sebastian and Flounder to the evil and wicked sea witch Ursula, there are plenty of characters and scenes in which to take interior inspiration.

Ariel

Look at this stuff isn’t it neat? We all remember Ariel’s unusual collection of human items that she finds in the ship wrecks on the ocean floor. One of the most interesting items is the dinglehopper (a fork) which Ariel believes is some sort of hair brush with its comb style prongs. Why not embrace this unique use of cutlery in your own interior with a fabulous fork and spoon chandelier that will look fabulous in a dining room or kitchen area.

Use classic silver items for a sleek and stylish finish or select gold cutlery items for a more glamorous and eye-catching design. You can also use a selection of pebbles and shells to decorate a ceiling or lamp shade that will look fabulous on a side table or bedside area.

How about creating a fabulous underwater inspired bedroom interior that will give a soft and feminine feel within your home? A large, clam shell style headboard will provide a focal point against a soft blue painted feature wall and can be painted in a soft pink colour tone with strategic shading to give an authentic finish and appearance.

This can be further complimented with a fabulous scallop style bedding set with 3D shell shaped embroidery in calming blues and ocean greens that will create a stylish and sophisticated ambiance within your bedroom space.

What better place to celebrate a Little Mermaid theme than in a luxurious and stylish bathroom. A selection of tiles arranged in a fish scale style pattern will create a nod to a mermaid’s tail as well as providing a splash of ocean inspired colour to your room. Select simple glazed or metallic tiles in rich azure, green and pale blue and arrange around a sink, shower or bath area.

For a further nod to a life under the sea then why not create a fabulous wave style pattern on your bathroom floor using a combination of sand and aqua coloured tiles with hints of silver and gold for a unique and artistic focal point.

Ursula

If you are one of the ‘poor unfortunate souls’ that love this famous Disney villainess then there are a vast range of items and accessories that will bring some witchy elegance to your home interior. I absolutely adore this amazing Glass coffee table with a black octopus base that will pay homage to Ursula’s dark nature and tantalising tentacles. This modern table will make a fabulous centrepiece in a living room interior and can be partnered with black, grey and purple decor as a further nod to Ursula’s character.

This gorgeous Ursula inspired cushion features her most famous catchphrase and a sneaky hint of tentacles on a classic aqua background. This cushion would look fabulous on an aqua bedspread or nestled on a jet black sofa or occasional chair with a selection of metallic black cushions or perhaps a selection of different cushions each featuring a different ‘Little Mermaid’ character. In addition to this design why not purchase some shell print, crab print and fish shaped cushions that will create a perfect underwater sanctuary in your living room or bedroom area.

No home is complete without some unique and distinctive accessories and these eye-catching carved candlesticks and their twisted tentacle design will create a fabulous focal point on a mantelpiece or sideboard area. They would also look fantastic as a centrepiece on a driftwood or black painted dining table with a selection of black plates and glasses with purple napkins and accessories in Ursula’s signature colours. Don’t forget to include some dinglehoppers and other cutlery in pewter or glistening gold for a striking themed dining table perfect for a Halloween dinner party.
