When you think of a baby’s room, you might be inclined toward pastel colors or pinks and blues. But what if you could create a room that stands out as a one-of-a-kind original? You can with these amazing DIY ideas for a nautical theme nursery for your newborn.

There’s something special about the sea and when this theme is brought into the realm of a baby’s nursery, you can’t go wrong.

Bright geometric shapes, bold stripes and solid colors are hallmarks of this wonderful style, along with a touch of whimsey and definitely kid-friendly.

So if you feel inspired to add a coastal design to your newborn’s bedroom or bath, then you’ll definitely want to include one or more nautical theme decor ideas:

1. Nautical Baby Shower Invitations

Sometimes the best way to get everyone on board with your baby’s theme is to send it out as a handprintednautical-inspired invitation. Check out these sweet notices that are perfect from first born to first birthday:

2. Nautical Lamps and Bathroom Night Lights

Nothing speaks better as a beacon in the dark of night than a night light. You can see that you don’t have to limit yourself to just nautical blues but yellow, pinks and more. I also love the anchor motif in the light switch plate, too. You can DIY these with fabric or wallpaper or purchase ready-made originals like these:
