Ocean and Fish Nursery Wall Decor

One of our favorite themes for nursery decoration is a fish, ocean or aquarium theme.  It’s fun, soothing, whimsical, & oh-so-ever stylish.  Ocean themes are also one of the most popular baby nursery themes around so you should have no problems finding matching bedding and accessories.

Or for a more modern touch, stay with nursery bedding in solid colors or simple lines, and use nursery hangings on the walls to accentuate your ocean theme.  For example, a wooden anchor hanging on the wall adds a unique and authentic touch to a nautical inspired room for baby boy.  Or add a wall decal or sticker of Ariel and her magical underwater sea creatures, from The Little Mermaid, for a cute & fun underwater design for baby girl. We also love these ocean & fish themed wall hangings from MyWonderfulWalls.  You’ll be sure to transport your guests to an underwater paradise with these ready-to-hang ocean themed kid’s wall canvases.  At $45 each, they are a fun & affordable way to transform your ocean inspired room into a modern baby nursery.

Blue Elephant Modern Nursery Decor for Boys

Blue elephant nursery decor from Dwell Studio

Blue elephant nursery decor from Dwell Studio

We love, love, love Dwell Studio’s modern nursery decor!  We especially love that they carry it at Target – one of our favorite places to find well-priced, modern, fun decor.  This elephant baby bedding line incorporates the perfect shade of smoky blue – just right for that modern feel.  We think the use of the white wall letters juxtapose nicely with the checkerboard rug.  It makes you want to play tic-tac-toe with your wall decor.  How clever!

The elephant theme is popular in today’s nursery decorating and rightly so.  The cute little things add warmth and personality to what could otherwise be a cold-feeling room with its cool-toned neutral color palette.

No need to purchase the entire set.  We encourage you to mix-and-match decor items so that your nursery reflects you and your baby.

7 Steps on How to Decorate a Girl’s Nursery

Since you will be spending a lot of time in your baby girl’s nursery, it is important that it brings as much solace and happiness to you as it does your baby girl.

This is a pretty quick, tactical how-to list to get you going, so we encourage you not to take it too seriously.  In general, have fun, be creative, and be you  :)

  1. Prioritize. Some moms want to fit within a specified budget. Some moms know they want a flower theme or have a particular home furnishings brand in mind (Pottery Barn Kids, for example). Determining your priorities before you begin will ensure your nursery decorating project is successful.  Revisit your priorities after every step.
  2. Make a list. Think about the function of your baby girl’s nursery. What are all the things you need?  Crib, changing table, storage, etc.  Use our quick checklist or make your own.
  3. Research and record. This is the fun part!  Browse the baby stores (we like the boutiques because of their unique selection). Buy home décor magazines. Read baby décor blogs (maybe weeDECOR? :) ). Browse Flickr for “baby nursery”. There is no shortage of ideas out there whether it is pink vs. purple or modern vs. classic? Keep a journal or bookmark web pages of what you like.  Be sure your ideas are aligning with your priorities.
  4. Select a crib. This is THE one piece of nursery furniture you must have and will likely be the focal point of your baby’s room.  BUT, don’t buy until you do step 4 – just in case you change your mind.  We encourage you to consider a crib that converts to a toddler bed for convenience. We put this step here because it is easier to decorate around a piece of furniture than it is to decorate an empty room.
  5. Choose your defining decor. Your defining décor is the one color, fabric, piece of furniture that is going to define the look of your nursery.  While everyone is different, we find most moms start with a defining color. For baby girl room décor, those colors tend to be a shade of pink, purple or green. Most moms start with bedding in their defining color. But, you can just as easily start with a special fabric for a comfy glider or great shade of wall paint. Double check whether they fit your priorities .
  6. Accessorize!  We lied. THIS is the fun part. Once you have chosen your defining décor, look for pieces on your list that work with it.  For example, if you have chosen petal pink wall paint, start looking for bedding that includes a shade of that pink.  If you have chosen butterfly bedding, look for butterfly-themed wall décor.  If you have chosen a one-of-a-kind patterned glider, pick a color in the fabric for your wall paint and baby bedding.
  7. Check your list – Double check your list to make sure you have everything. Revisit your priorities to make sure you were true to them.

And, finally, spend some time in that nursery relaxing since those moments of quiet may be a bit less frequent than they are now.

Brilliant Butterfly Decor for Baby Rooms

Butterfly dursery decor from Bananafish

Butterfly nursery decor from Bananafish

Why not decorate your little girl’s nursery with this modern butterfly baby room decor from Bananafish?  She loves butterflies – or she will soon!  The butterflies are bright and punchy and you can’t help but smile upon seeing them.  The pink, brown, and grass green colors are contemporary, yet classic.  The delicate and adorning valences and butterfly hanging wall art pieces pull the room together nicely. 

Speaking of pulling together the room, we love the wall paint they’ve chosen to display the decor.  The lavender paint tones down the pink in a way that creates a soothing ambiance.  And, the dark wood furniture (cherry wood, we think) brings the perfect amount of depth to the room.

We found this modern butterfly set at Rosenberry Rooms for $180 for the basic bedding package.  But, it is sold at many offline and online retailers so should not be too difficult to find.
