Let your baby sail to a place of relaxation with a baby room inspired in the color of the big blue sea. Navy themed rooms are very easy to decorate because you have so much inspiration to work with. 

You can include stickers of anchors and sailboats to ground the room and get a bit of an oceanic style, but most people put items that are not necessarily associated with the ocean, color scheme is essential to transmit the essence of the coast: navy blue, red, soft white, and light gray. 

Some Wall art, baby bedding, and decor with a lighthouse, sailboats, and anchor patterns are recommended.

One of our best accessories for this type of room is The Glider Navy version, a seat with the maximum comfort that includes power recline, smooth glide, adjustable headrest and Stain-Resistant Fabric.

A nautical-themed nursery inspired by the animals and elements of the ocean just like whales, dolphins, fishes, and boats can be the primary subjects in the baby's bedroom, from the crib bedding to the room decor. The color palette is principally blue, from deep sea blue, aqua, light green, and pearl white.

Patterns of starfish, sand, seashells, seagulls, and turtles for the wall prints, baby's room rug, and crib mattress are the perfect options. The color scheme is warm, from soft sand beige, yellow, ocean blue, and coral pink.

The Milan Crib combines perfectly with these colors and styles. Combines premium, non-toxic materials with an elegant high design, ensuring it will create a safe and cozy sleep spot for your little one from ages 0-5.

To enhance your beach-themed nursery, incorporate wall art featuring marine life, along with decorative accessories like surfboards, flip-flops, and beach balls to create a playful atmosphere.

Let's dive into a few tips for creating a nautical nursery that's both stylish and practical.

•  Gender-neutral nautical nursery : Instead of choosing bright and strong colors like yellow, these rooms usually go well with soft blue, soft green, and sandy beige. The good thing about these styles for nursery rooms is that it works for baby girls and boys. Usually the boy nursery rooms include more navy blue while the girl's room include white.

•  Theme  baby shower : If you already know about the style of the nursery room you want, you can prepare the baby shower with that same theme and that way receive ideal gifts, like nautical decorations, throw pillows, baby books, baby clothes, and crib sheets.

•  Prioritize functionality : choose items that can be used for a long time and have multiple purposes, not only for the first months, for example The Milan Dresser  can be used in adults/kids room too, this 6-drawer dresser grows with your family. Crafted from sustainably harvested wood and non-toxic materials, it features six large, smooth-close drawers and a changing topper. There are some many nursery items you could consider like changing tables

•  Ask for nursery ideas  : most people hire some expert in interior design to help with the concept of the room and nursery wall art. This is not a process you need to take just by yourself, help is always available.

•  Define the focal point: Having a focal point in the nursery will visually help balance the space, and it will enhance the theme of the nursery. Usually, the focal point in the nursery is either the crib or the feeding station.

•  Create a comfortable atmosphere:  Try to add some ocean animals and nature elements to keep the harmony, you can include wall hangings, nursery prints or wall decals with figures of whales, penguins, seashells. Buy sheets with an oceanic theme for the kid’s bedroom.
