Coastal nurseries are a fantastic way to bring the soothing vibes of the beach into your little one’s space. From bright colors to nautical themes, these ideas will inspire you to create a serene environment that’s both stylish and fun. Check out these 15 beautiful designs that capture the essence of seaside living while giving your nursery a refreshing twist.

Driftwood furniture adds that beachy feel to your nursery. You can create your own with driftwood you collect at the beach or shop handmade furniture and driftwood art.
