Nautical marine art creates an ambiance that's a mixture of nostalgia, history, adventure, as well as romance.
Many of these nautical rooms have done more than just incorporate marine art, they were inspired by it.
Here an example of marine art that includes coastal scenery, depicting Edgartown harbor on Martha's Vineyard. You can take a tour of this home over at Traditional Home.

In this Malibu home, seen at AD, nautical art includes a 19th-century oil painting of a burial at sea. The owner was inspired by the movie The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, the 1947 film in which Gene Tierney’s seaside cottage is haunted by the ghost of a sea captain.
While ships have been included in art from the earliest times, marine art as a distinct genre began around the 15th century. At first, marine art was focused around the study of a single vessel, then as landscape art emerged during the Renaissance, the sea landscape became a more important element and artist started to paint ships at sea. Here an 1855 marine painting hangs above the Fireplace.
Nautical marine art is the focal point in this bedroom, designed by Barclay Butera.
