Nautical Artwork Picks from Our Collection

Scrolling thumbnails only tells you so much. Below, we break down 12 standout pieces, what makes each one work, and how to pair them in your child's room.

Set of four watercolor-style whale frames with gold moons, seaweed and shells in a muted blue and cream palette

Moonlit Whale Family Set

A set of four watercolor-style panels. Each frame holds a whale in a different pose with small gold moons, curling seaweed, and scattered shells tying the scene together. The palette stays soft across all four: dusty blue, cream, and warm gold.

The coordinated set solves a nursery wall in a single purchase. Hang as a two-by-two grid over a crib, or in a horizontal row above a long dresser. Pairs with ocean-themed bedding and natural oak furniture.

Triptych of watercolor-style whales circling a full moon across three frames in soft teal blue and gold

Moonlight Whale Song Triptych

Three frames that clearly belong together. Whales curl around a full moon across the set, the center frame holding the strongest composition. Watercolor-style washes with sandy-gold accents and a calm teal-blue ground.

Use this as the full wall over a crib or bed. The triptych reads as one scene, which keeps the wall from feeling busy. Works in neutral nurseries and holds up into a big-kid room.

Watercolor-style scene of a small green fishing trawler at a dock with a blond boy in yellow shirt and blue pants standing beside it

Anchored Moments

A small green fishing trawler is tied up at a cream-colored dock. A blond boy in a yellow shirt and blue pants stands beside it, small hands in pockets, clearly watching. Watercolor-style washes, blue sky, no clutter.

A narrative single for a boy's room that leans quiet. Pairs with a navy rug and a wooden model sailboat. The boy's hair and shirt color can be swapped on request to match a specific child.

Painterly scene of a grey dolphin mid-leap from a cresting wave balanced on an orange-red surfboard with a golden sunset sky

Splash Master

A grey dolphin leaps off a cresting blue wave, balanced like a pro on a red-orange surfboard. The sky behind is golden sunset and a couple of small birds float at the top. Painterly-style brushwork, bold contrast, clear fun.

A big-kid room piece, built for a wall that wants movement. Pairs with a blue-and-orange striped rug and a wooden surfboard shelf. Sits well next to pieces from our fish wall art collection.

Flat graphic illustration of a smiling orange octopus with eight curling tentacles against a simple two-tone blue ocean

Ocean Eight

A smiling orange octopus with eight tentacles curling in different directions floats against a clean two-tone blue ocean. Flat graphic illustration style, bold outlines, cheerful face. Nothing fussy.

A nursery or toddler-room single that earns its wall by being simple. Works above a changing table or next to a crib. Pairs with teal and coral bedding, and a shelf of plush sea toys.

Painterly scene of a white bull terrier sprinting through shallow ocean waves with small dogs trailing in misty grey-blue sea

Surf and Paws

A white bull terrier runs through shallow ocean waves, two smaller white puppies trailing behind. The sea is grey-blue and misty, the palette is muted and atmospheric. Painterly-style brushwork, nothing saccharine.

A calmer pick for a kid's room that needs a bit of motion without shouting. Pairs with cream linen bedding and a navy throw. Works for a dog-loving kid building a beach-day story.

Storybook illustration of a blue-haired girl holding a white shell with a smiling orange fish beside her in soft aqua water

Underwater Buddies

A blue-haired girl holds a large white scallop shell up to her ear while a smiling orange fish floats beside her. Soft aqua water, peach highlights, flat storybook-style illustration. Sweet without tipping saccharine.

A girl's nursery or toddler-room anchor. Pairs with a pastel mermaid pillow and pale coral curtains. Works nicely alongside pieces from our mermaid wall art for a full under-sea story.

Minimalist watercolor dune scene with two surfer silhouettes walking between pink and tan dunes toward the sea in a black floating frame

Coastal Surf Duo

Two silhouetted surfers walk between pink and tan watercolor-style dunes toward a pale blue horizon. Minimalist composition, washed palette, no detail on the figures. Black floating frame. The whole piece reads modern and quiet.

A teen bedroom pick or a shared sibling room with older kids. Pairs with a neutral linen duvet and a terracotta throw. Works as a single gallery piece above a bed or desk.

Flat illustration of a small sleeping bear in a navy rowboat holding a fishing rod on soft grey-blue watercolor water

Lullaby Lagoon

A small cream bear sleeps in a navy rowboat, a tiny fishing rod leaned against his shoulder. The water underneath is a soft grey-blue watercolor-style wash. Flat illustration, sleepy palette, very little going on.

A nursery piece in the truest sense. Hang over the crib or rocker. Pairs with cream linen and a navy accent blanket. Coordinates with other ocean art pieces in the same quiet palette.

Flat graphic illustration of puffins gathered on grey rocks in a foggy grey-teal sea

Puffin Pack

A group of puffins clusters on stacked grey rocks in a misty teal sea. A few more swim in the water below. Flat graphic illustration, muted foggy palette, sharp outlines on the birds themselves. Modern and minimalist.

A kid's bedroom piece for a room that leans Scandi-quiet. Pairs with light oak furniture, wool throws, and a black-iron pendant light. Works alone or as a single anchor above a reading chair.

Flat illustration of a black cat sitting on an open Mediterranean window sill looking out at a blue sea village with terracotta rooftops and small boats

Coast Kitty

A black cat sits on an open windowsill, framed by teal shutters, looking out at a Mediterranean coastal village. Terracotta rooftops tumble down to a blue sea dotted with small boats. Warm palette, vintage travel-poster mood.

A narrative single for a kid who loves pretending to travel. Pairs with a striped navy-and-cream rug and a small globe on the shelf. Works in a toddler room or a big-kid bedroom.

Set of six sunny beach scenes with white fluffy samoyed puppies running on sand wearing sunhats in a pink pool float and building sand castles

Seaside Puppy Fun Set

A set of six bright beach scenes, each one holding a white fluffy samoyed puppy doing something cheerful: running through waves, wearing a straw hat, floating in a pink pool ring, building a sand castle. Sunny blue-and-cream palette across all six.

This is a full playroom wall or a big-kid room on its own. Hang in a three-by-two grid. Pairs with a coral rug, a rattan basket, and a whole pile of dog plush toys.
