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 and Decor

Inspiration from @rajahomewares

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.

Nautical-Themed Décor with Stripes

Love classic blue and white stripes that add that nautical feeling to any nursery. You can choose striped wallpaper or bedding.

Seashells and starfish decor are a no brainer for a coastal nursery. They are so pretty and natural, plus if you’re like me you have shells collected from beach vacations already! If not, don’t worry you can shop them below!

Soft blues and sandy tones create a serene atmosphere perfect for relaxation. Images of the ocean are calming and inviting.

Coastal Patterns in Textiles

Coastal patterns bring a fresh vibe to any space, especially in nurseries. The soft blues and shell designs create a calming atmosphere for little ones. These elements not only look great but also inspire a love for the beach from an early age!
