Things You'll Need:

Step 1
Begin with wall color. Pale neutral colors are best because they often have a calming affect on babies. White, pale blue and khaki are good choices when determining wall color.
-
Step 2
Paint a mural on one wall. Choose a simple ocean scene with a sailboat gently gliding on its surface.
-
Step 3
Buy bedding. Seek crib sheets and blankets with nautical pictures of sailboats, lighthouses and anchors.
-
Step 4
Purchase nautical-themed wall hangings. Consider purchasing a custom wall hanging that includes your child's name, like a ship's flag with "S.S. (you child's name)."
-
Step 5
String maritime signal flags around the nursery. These flags have many bright colors that will visually stimulate your baby.

Step 6
Throw down a couple of area rugs. Try to find one that has a picture of a sailboat or lighthouse on it.
