Both little boys and little girls love the ocean and all of its friendly creatures so why not decorate in this theme to create a soothing, fun and friendly space for your little squirt to rest, sleep & play.

An Under the Sea Nursery or Bedroom is a great unisex option for a nursery or even a shared bedroom and with thousands of products on the market in this theme, a room can be made over on even the smallest of budgets.

Here are our tips to creating the ultimate underwater bedroom.

Set the Mood

If you go out and buy bits and bobs in the underwater theme, you may start to put together the room and find that the items you have purchased randomly do not work together so our tip is to pick one key item that will be the starting point of the room. It may be a beautiful linen set, an underwater wall mural or even a photo or poster of a calming ocean. Using this one key item will help determine the mood of the room and the accessories that will match and complement the room.

Paint

Have you picked your one key item? Then look to this for paint colour inspiration.

Any shade of blue will complement an under the sea theme consider vibrant aquatic blues, pale sky blue or aquatic greens.

If your planning to install wall stickers or removable wall art the type of paint you choose is super important. Teflon (Wash and Wear) paints are designed to repel and this means you may have trouble with peeling wall stickers if you choose this type of paint. Please consult with your local paint shop and mention you want to avoid Teflon / silicone based paint if you are planning on using wall stickers in your completed room.

Wall Art

Now that the painting is complete the fun begins!

Choosing wall art for your room can be overwhelming as there are so many choices but please remember to look at your key item and let it help you make the right decision.

Furniture

If your buying new furniture white or beech are the perfect colours for an underwater theme, however if your repainting old furniture why not give them a distressed look to really carry the theme of the room thru to your furniture.

Final Touches

Adding a Floor Rug that matches your room will help to bring the whole room together.

Find Fish or Ocean inspired Bookends, Coat Racks or Wall Hooks to help organise the room.

Find personalised items such as Wall Letters, Name Meanings or Height Charts to give the room a personal touch.
