OCEAN THEME BABY NURSERY

After choosing the perfect set of ocean crib bedding and window treatments for your ocean theme baby nursery, it will be a snap to decide on the best color to paint the nursery walls for your salt water loving baby boy or girl's beach decor. An ocean nursery theme is a great way to bring your baby and the wonders of the ocean together without getting sand in the car!

If you choose the right ocean color scheme and get the right set of ocean theme bedding and accessories you can get the same effect of a day at the beach in your ocean theme bedroom without ever getting sunburned! Each person's idea of what constitutes an ocean decorating theme is different! When you consider all of the different activities and hobbies that involve the sea, it's much easier to understand the reasons for this. Ocean theme decorating to one person is beach theme to another!

Other decorative elements and styles of decor that are closely tied to the ocean would be:

You have your:

Surfers
9 to 5 business men who dream of becoming a fisherman
Land Locked Sailing Nuts
Whale, Sea Turtle and Dolphin Watchers
Baby Seahorses
Seashell Collecting
Armchair Sailors who Love Tales of the Sea
Scuba Divers
Mermaid Theme Bedroom and Baby Nursery Themes
Pirates

Then there are people who love the look of a salt water aquarium and never stick their toes into the water much less surf! To have a great love for the ocean and to appreciate its calming, soothing quality doesn't necessarily mean you have to dive in or live close to a coastline!

Ocean bedding themed accessories are marketed to just such a demographic! Perhaps you were raised by the sea and are now completely landlocked. Oceanscapes and other ocean theme items make wherever you hang your hat feel just like home. There are so many great ocean sealife comforters for kids! A few years ago you wouldn't dream of finding sea turtle bedding sets!

If you know such an unfortunate transplant that spent their childhood visiting the shore, but can't offer the same luxury to their child, ocean pictures of sunny days and children playing on the sand make great ocean theme baby gifts!

Help your friends or decorate your own ocean nursery walls with ocean pictures and ocean stuff like:

Dried Starfish
Anchors - the Antique, pretty kind
Pictures of whales, dolphins, swordfish or the deepwater fish of your liking
Pictures of tall ships or model ships and the list goes on and on!

For a contemporary beach theme, paint a mural of the beach and open horizon on the wall. Place a Cape Cod Saltbox just over the dunes with some swimsuits drying and ready to wear on a clothesline. Include some beach toys, a bucket and other baby beach gear left on the sand after a perfect day at the beach in your underwater baby themes. Use some textured paint for a real sandy feel to the walls.

Stencils, stickers and decals are as always an excellent shortcut in painting your ocean or baby's underwater theme nursery wall mural.

If you prefer a more natural approach for the room, decorate the walls with pictures of baby sea turtles, baby sea otters and baby sea lions frolicking in the surf. Order sea life baby bedding from a natural wonders store. Gather baby safe seashells and dried starfish to add texture and color to the room.

For a child's underwater nursery theme turn baby's nursery toy chest into a pirate's treasure chest theme rescued from the under the sea and decorate the walls with authentic looking pirate hats. Paint an underwater mural full of tropical fish and other sea creatures on the wall.

Paint a mural of the deep sea complete with fish, seaweed, a ship wrecked pirate's ship, colorful coral and a shark or two with faint rays of sunshine filtering down from the surface.

Use a fishnet as a nursery window treatment. Hang it in such a fashion that a some seashells or starfish can be tucked inside.
