How is it already the end of summer? If like us, you want to hold on to that feeling year-round, consider beach-inspired décor for your nursery and incorporate the beautiful colors and creatures of the sea.
If you’re looking for inspiration for some sea-worthy décor ideas, we found some fantastic nursery designs to pair with our personalized growth charts. Plus, one of our super talented designers created underwater themed freebies for you to print out on magnetic paper to decorate a magnet board with.
We’d add even more fun fishies to the wall of this nursery with the Under the Sea personalized growth chart. (Image courtesy of Pink.Love.Kick)
With starfish and mermaids in a pink and turqouise color scheme, the brand new Merry Mermaid personalized growth chart would fit in swimmingly with this feminine, but not overly girly nursery we found on Stacy + Charlie.
Would you choose the Zoo Friends personalized growth chart featuring a blue whale or the Animal Crackers personalized growth chart with a whale, shark, octopus, and shark for this graphic nursery in shades of blue with pops of orange, a protective stuffed lion, and a very cool whale themed triptych on the wall?

And to go along with our love of the ocean we create a fun new freebie! Download our sea creature shapes, print on magnet paper, cut out and have fun making an underwater scene on the fridge or any magnetic surface! Simply download our pdf (available in citrus colors or candy colors) and have fun!

Color Trend: Orange & Blue Combo
There’s nothing like a bright orange sun against a beautiful blue sky to bring a smile to our face, so we thought a blue and orange color combo would be perfect for decorating a nursery or playroom. It’s the ideal space to have a bit of cheeriness year-round.
Here are some décor options, like personalized growth charts, bedding, mobiles, and wall art, in orange and various shades of blue in three themes – animals, whales, and transportation.
Aqua & Orange: Animal Crackers personalized growth chart in Orange & Charcoal, Quilt (Now and Then Quilts), and soft block baby toy (Clare’s Clothesline).
Navy & Orange: Under the Sea personalized growth chart, mobile (Hingmade), and wall art (ZeppiPrints).
Teal & Orange: On the Go personalized growth chart, print (nJoy Art), and light switch plate (Modern Switch).
What theme would you use for a blue and orange color combo?
Cool Name of the Week: Phoebe
For anyone who was a fan of Friends, the name Phoebe connotes a sweet, slightly kooky, yet totally lovable girl. But the name has a very long history, with mentions in mythology and the Bible, as well as popular literature. Greek for shining, bright, brilliant, Phoebe is our Cool Name of the Week.
Big sister shirts with designs that symbolize the meaning or history of the name would make perfect gifts for any Phoebe.
The bird on the Tweet Tweet Big Sister Tshirt is similar to the Phoebe bird, a member of the Tyrant Flycatcher family.
Phoebe was the name of one of the mythological Titans, as well as an Amazon who fought Heracles, so a girl with this strong moniker would be perfectly suited to big sister shirts with bold designs, like the Super Sister Big Sister Tshirt or Stamped Style Big Sister Tshirt.
Brightly colored big sister shirts are ideal for the Phoebe who loves to shine. (shown: Taped Up Big Sister Tshirt, Love to Sketch and Stitched Style big sister shirts)
Do you have a Phoebe? Which of these big sister shirts best fits her personality?
Décor Trend: Patterns
Patterns, like polka dots, stripes, gingham, etc., add a sweet, perky touch to nurseries and are a great way to incorporate multiple colors or add depth to monochromatic nurseries.
We found several adorably patterned nurseries and chose some of our personalized growth charts that would coordinate nicely with them.
This vintage pink gingham nursery would get a slightly modern twist with the multi-patterned 1 to 10 personalized growth chart in either Cotton Candy Pink or Charcoal & Pink. (Image found on Pinterest)

Did you use patterns to perk up your wee one’s room?
Décor Trend: Bunnies
Whether you use a classic Peter Rabbit theme, a modern look, or graphic details, adding bunnies into the mix gives a sweet touch to any nursery. We found some fun room designs that feature rabbits and paired our personalized growth charts with them.
Can you find the bunnies in the My City and My Town Seek & Find personalized growth charts? Either would add color and whimsy to the simplicity of this modern style nursery. (Image courtesy of MomToob)

Which personalized growth charts and nursery designs do you like best?
Nursery Color Trend: Primary Colors
Primary colors were the original color scheme for most nurseries, but over the last few decades more and more nurseries have been inspired by parents’ personal aesthetic, as well as ever changing color trends, popularity of characters, etc. As much as we love sophisticated color palettes and all-white nurseries, we’re happy to see that primary colors are back in style and taking on a more modern approach while still maintaining child-like whimsy.
We love these three nurseries that utilize primary colors in a really fresh way and chose a few of our personalized growth charts that would accent them perfectly.
We love the soothing blue and white walls with bright pops of primarily colors and would play them up with either the On the Go personalized growth chart or Ladybug Love personalized growth chart. (Image courtesy of Apartment Therapy)
The bold colors and stripes of this nursery coordinate with the Color Me personalized growth chart, whose white background also ties in nicely with the light wall trim and crib. (Image found on Elizabeth Hill Cottage blog)
For this fresh, yet bold and modern room, which of these personalized growth charts would you choose: Finish Line, Animal Crackers or a solid colored one like Perfect Pennant? (Image courtesy of Spearmint Baby)
Utilizing personalized growth charts to highlight certain colors or patterns in a room is a perfect way to combine form and function.
Nursery Décor Trend: Ice Cream
July is National Ice Cream Month, so an ice cream themed nursery would be perfect for a baby born this month. We found a room on Project Nursery that featured Neapolitan ice cream-inspired walls and thought finding some other frozen treat related décor, like personalized growth charts, lighting, wall art, and mobiles, would give you some inspiration to bring this super sweet theme to life.

A personalized growth chart that features ice cream elements is a sweet way to incorporate the look into nurseries while also recording baby’s growth. (Shown: We All Scream, My City, and My Town personalized growth charts)

We all scream for this Ice Cream Lamp from Fred Flare.
