The main color scheme of this nursery is crisp white with bold navy accents, reminiscent of the ocean at night. Behind the crib, a white wall with moulding panel rectangular designs adds depth and sophistication to the space.

Above the crib hangs a round custom wood name plaque featuring a charming lighthouse and sea theme, adding a personalized touch to the room. Flanking the rectangular moulding are wooden anchor and paddle oars, enhancing the nautical vibe of the space.

Whimsical Details

The ceiling is adorned with a ship wheel shaped ceiling fan, adding a whimsical touch to the room. Striped white and navy curtains frame the windows, allowing just the right amount of natural light to filter through.

Focal Points

The navy wooden crib steals the show, serving as the focal point of the nursery. A custom rope floor lamp next to the crib ties into the nautical theme seamlessly, casting a warm glow throughout the room. The round rug featuring an anchor and white and blue stripes and polka dots adds a playful element to the space and can also serve as a focal point.

Functional Décor

Practicality meets style with a navy ship wheel side table and a boat-shaped bookcase, providing ample storage space for books and toys. Navy wall shelves with a white rope accent and a complementary navy dresser offer additional storage options. Above the dresser, a ship wheel-shaped mirror and a lamp with an anchor base add charm and character to the room. A lighthouse figurine adds a special touch to the décor.
