A Hawaiian themed nursery for a baby boy is sure to celebrate surfing, surfboards, sailing and sea creatures. Hawaii, island living and the ocean are great sources of inspiration for a mural or other types of wall art. From mountain views to ocean scenes to tropical forests, you will be able to recreate all of the different flavors of this beautiful state for the new baby in your life.
You are sure to find a main wall color that is pleasing to you that will perfectly capture the spirit of Hawaii. For a Hawaiian themed nursery for a baby boy, start with the ocean; plant a palm tree or two; sprinkle around a little sand or finish off with a lot of sun. The whole point of the exercise is to use colors from Benjamin Moore) that will create a fun and vibrant atmosphere for your little surfer baby.
Because a Hawaiian themed nursery is supposed to be fun, bright and colorful and above all relaxed, choose a style of nursery furniture that will be casual yet looks good too. For a contemporary edge that will allow you some freedom to mix and match, (if nursery sets don’t appeal to you), choose the Natart Theo Crib-to-Twin Convertible Crib. The woven effect of the veneer bands gives this crib an organic look and feel that is perfect for an island themed nursery.
While the Maddie Boo Jaime 4-piece Baby Crib Bedding Set isn’t specifically themed bedding, the colors fit right in with an island themed nursery. There’s no mistaking the rich and vibrant shades of green and blue that reflect many different colors of the sea.
A Hawaiian themed nursery will be a classic blend tropical motifs and island living activities like luaus, sailing and hunting for sea treasures along the beach. But most of all, a Hawaiian themed nursery has a relaxed, fun vibe that would be a great way to welcome baby to her new home.

As far as nursery ideas go, a Hawaiian themed nursery for a baby girl is a great idea, because it will give you a wealth of colorful decorating choices. Especially if you honeymooned in Hawaii or have traveled there in the past, your pictures will come in handy either for decorating inspiration or as a terrific source for wall art. With a little imagination and creativity, you can capture the soft ocean breezes, the lush tropical flora and the sights and sounds of the Hawaiian Islands for your new baby girl.
The best way to design a Hawaiian themed nursery is to start with color. Color is important when creating a specific mood. For an island themed nursery for a girl, choose shades (from Benjamin Moore) that are saturated while being soft and gentle. To give the room a professional, unified look, you will want to match your main wall color to at least two other main elements in the room such as your themed bedding or curtains.
From the many nursery sets that are available, you will want to choose one that perfectly captures the spirit of your little surfer girl as well as the spirit of Hawaiian island living. Profiles should be relaxed; finishes should be smooth with a soft glow; and colors can range from refreshingly light to the richly exotic. The Dream on Me Richmond 2 in 1 Convertible Crib in White blends contemporary design with classic lines for a result that is casual and cozy.
Of course no Hawaiian themed nursery would be complete without this beautiful state’s flower. The Bebe Chic Aloha Baby Crib Bedding Set predominately features the hibiscus. The colors of this nursery bedding set are bright, bold and beautiful while the mix of patterns creates a sense of lush texture.
A Hawaiian themed nursery will be a classic blend of tropical motifs and island living activities like luaus, sailing and hunting for sea treasures along the beach. But most of all, a Hawaiian themed nursery has a relaxed, fun vibe that would be a great way to welcome baby to her new home.

Designing a tropical themed nursery for a baby girl is simple and fun. Begin with some bright colors commonly found in a Hawaiian sunset or a hibiscus flower; select casual, contemporary nursery furniture with a laid-back feel; add some tropical fish and a warm sea breeze. The result is a delightful environment for your newest member of the family that is refreshing, colorful and soothing.
The main color (palette choices shown here by Behr) you choose for your tropical themed nursery should reflect the blue water, palm tree green foliage and the reds, yellows and oranges of the brightly plumed island birds. As with any interior design room scheme, plan on matching the paint color to the colors of the crib bedding, the window treatments and the flooring, especially if it’s carpeting or an area rug.
The three basic pieces of nursery furniture you will need for your baby girl are a crib, a changing table and dresser. The Stork Craft Meaghan Stages 2-in-1 Convertible Sleigh Crib in Natural has smooth, relaxed lines, a gently curved profile and simple decorative detail that give it a soft, feminine touch without being too fussy.
The Bebe Chic Aloha Baby Crib Bedding Set has all of the right components for a tropical themed nursery. The hibiscus flower pattern of the crib bumpers and baby blanket perfectly complements the tropical shades of the dust ruffle.
The DaVinci Parker 2-Door Wood Baby Changer in Natural provides a safe place for you to change your baby. It has the same sleigh style flair as the crib; the lines flow easily while still managing to be casual and restful.
A dresser is a must have piece of nursery furniture. Ideal for you in the nursery now, the Alligator Enterprises Monterey 3 Drawer Dresser will grow with your child, with its rounded corners and easy-to-open drawers.
And because of our tropical nursery theme, adding organic elements like the Badger Basket Two Hamper Set in Natural definitely will give an island-living feel to your baby’s room.
