Nautical decor is a slippery slope. It’s almost too easy to get carried away with ropes, anchors, and a lot of navy blue. But there’s a way to complete a modern nautical look without feeling like you’ve stepped into a sea captain’s den. Today’s looks are both nautical and sleek—and still charming, too.

In a mood board of sorts, here are five Instagrams depicting Wednesday vibes from local players in home design:
