Nautical Wall Decor 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.

Pastel pointillism set of two - seaside village with sailboats and a flower-covered lighthouse at dusk

Coastal Flower Shores Set

A set of two in a dotted pointillism style, each piece lit by a soft pastel dusk. The left frame shows a hillside seaside village with three sailboats gliding past. The right shows a lighthouse standing over a cliff that's completely covered in pink, purple, and yellow wildflowers.

The rosy-sky palette suits a girl's nursery or a toddler room that leans pink and sea. Hang the two side by side over a dresser or crib for a full seaside moment. Works with warm oak frames and cream walls.

Luminous blue ocean set of two - three manta rays under sunlit water next to a white coral branch holding seahorses

Luminous Ocean Depths Set

Two moody, cinematic frames. On the left, three manta rays glide through teal-blue water with sunlight cutting down through the surface. On the right, a white branching coral fan in deep navy water, three seahorses curled around its arms.

The darker palette reads older than the usual pastel nursery mood, which makes it a strong pick for a bigger kid's ocean wall or a teen bedroom. Deep navy or charcoal walls pull the luminous blues forward.

Triptych of three watercolor-style humpback whale scenes in soft blue-grey with a golden sun and sandy-yellow seaweed

Gentle Ocean Giants Triptych

A set of three in watercolor-style washes. Soft blue-grey whales move through golden sun and sandy-yellow seaweed, one breaching, one diving in a pair, one swimming low under the ripple. The three frames clearly read as one scene.

This is the piece for parents who want a whole wall to settle at once. Hang over a crib or above a long dresser in a whale-themed nursery. The muted palette coordinates with almost any sheet set.

Retro pop-art set of two - calico cats surfing blue waves on yellow boards with black and white checkerboard borders and red accents

Surfing Calico Cats Set

A set of two retro posters with black-and-white checkerboard borders and red accent trim. Two calico cats ride yellow surfboards on cresting blue waves, one paddling out, one hitting the barrel. Vintage pop-art style, a little sixties, a lot fun.

This is a playroom or big-kid room piece. The bold primary palette pairs with a wooden bunk bed and a striped rug. Change the calico to a tuxedo or ginger cat on request if your household has opinions.

Muted coastal scene with a vintage biplane flying over a white lighthouse and tall dune grass with birds in the soft grey-blue sky

Windy Shore Flight

A quieter, older coastal scene. A vintage biplane lifts off over a white lighthouse and tall dune grass, with a handful of birds in the soft grey-blue sky. The palette is muted neutrals and ocean mist, no bright color.

A single anchor piece for a shared sibling room or a bookish reading nook. It pairs with linen bedding, a globe, and a low shelf of picture books. Frames best in natural oak or warm white.

Top-down view of two grey whales flanking a yellow kayak with a small kayaker on bright blue water

Whale Tales

A playful overhead composition: two dark grey whales on either side of a bright yellow kayak, with a tiny kayaker paddling between them. The top-down angle is unusual and it's the thing that makes the piece stick.

This one reads kid-adventure, not nursery-soft. Hang it in a toddler or big-kid room where the wall could use a story. Pairs with navy bedding and a sailing-rope ladder shelf.

Orange speedboat cutting through deep blue ocean waves with thick painterly brushstroke styling

Splash Patrol

An orange speedboat slicing across deep blue ocean with thick painterly brushstroke styling and a strong sense of motion. The wake curls high on both sides. Bold contrast, dynamic composition.

A statement single for a kid who picks speed over calm. Works on a saturated wall like deep navy or forest green, which makes the orange pop. Pairs with boat-themed bedding and a wooden model sailboat.

Cartoon blue jellyfish with big smiling eyes and pink cheeks floating in a bright blue underwater scene with coral and small orange jellyfish

Ocean Jiggle

A round blue jellyfish with enormous eyes and pink round cheeks floats through a bright sunlit underwater scene. Coral and a few small orange jellyfish sit at the bottom. The whole piece is sweet without tipping into saccharine.

A nursery piece through and through. Works above a changing table or next to a crib. Pairs with aqua and coral bedding, and sits happily beside softer mermaid wall art for a full under-sea wall.

Vintage-illustration-style orange crab wearing sunglasses lounging in a striped beach chair under an umbrella with a drink and shells on the sand

Shell Lounge

An orange crab in sunglasses is stretched out on a red-and-white striped beach chair, umbrella overhead, drink in claw. Starfish and shells sit in the sand. Vintage-illustration style, warm beach palette, very funny.

A humor piece for a playroom or a kid's bathroom wall. Pairs well with striped towels and woven baskets. Change the drink or the chair color on request if the palette needs to match something already in the room.

Smiling pink whale with closed eyes swimming through deep navy water with pink coral and small yellow fish

Serene Swim

A soft pink whale with closed eyes drifts through deep navy water. Pink coral and tiny yellow fish hover around her. The mood is quiet and sleepy, the palette is nursery-pink against ocean-dark.

This is the go-to for a girl's nursery that's still building around a coastal theme. Hang over the crib or above a reading chair. Pairs with a pastel rug and a bookshelf of bedtime ocean stories.

Folk-art style dachshund in a blue-and-white striped sailor shirt and yellow glasses holding a small sailboat surrounded by a blue polka-dot border

The Tiny Shipwright

A dachshund in a blue-and-white striped sailor shirt and round yellow glasses holds up a little wooden sailboat. Folk-art style with a blue polka-dot border, warm cream background. The expression on his face is deeply serious about this job.

A playful nursery or toddler-room single, warm and bookish. Pairs with striped bedding and a shelf of wooden toys. The dachshund can be swapped for a beagle, a corgi, or your actual dog on request.

Watercolor-style blonde mermaid with gold scales sitting on a shell-covered rock in calm pastel water under a pale moon at dusk

Wish Upon Wave

A blonde mermaid with gold scales sits on a rock covered in scallop shells, starfish, and bits of coral. The moon rises over calm pastel water behind her. Watercolor-style washes, dusk palette, quiet mood.

This is the anchor piece for a mermaid-themed girl's room or a toddler bedroom that leans dreamy. Frames best in white wood. Pairs beautifully with the Coastal Flower Shores set above for a full coastal story.
