If you do not gravitate toward ocean brights or cool blues, a monochrome sea life baby room might be the right choice.

Patterns throughout the room can be kept simple, funky, or glam in all black-and-white to complete the look. (See—or should we say sea?—more black and white nursery inspiration here!)
