1. Oceanic Wall Photo Gallery
Putting up a gallery of memories on your wall is one of the best ways to personalize your home. You can go as simple as putting up a photo frame on a wall neatly. Or, you can also setup a nice nautical theme to complement your photo memories! There are a few elements to the setup. The color of the photo frames should range form white, light blue and dark blue. Tiny ropes also can be used along with the boat cleat hooks to hang them up. Decorative items from the oceans such as corals, starfish and seashells can be used to decorate around it as well. Plus, having a worn out net hanging at the back is a great way to give a unique texture to the background. Put more of the ocean-related ornaments as you see fit but don’t overwhelm the setup with it. Simplicity is key!
2. Blue Net Casting
Net is yet another item that is closely related to the ocean life. This beautiful blue ocean net covers the wall as part of the decoration. Little sea items such as seashells are placed around the net. It gives the idea as if you’ve just pulled up a net of seashells and starfishes! The idea works amazingly well when paired with a white wall.
3. Photos On Netted Wall
Sometimes, you feel like organizing a baby shower party for your little mermaid. There’s no special way to let your guests know that it is a baby shower party that they are attending other than putting up a wall of photos of your baby mermaid. Therefore, a suitable backdrop is a must! That’s when this brilliant idea comes to play. A net, photos and pegs are all you need!
4. Shells In Frames
You can put photos in a frame, you know the usual stuff. Or, you can put seashells onto the frame! I love how each of these frames has a piece of unique seashells in them and the awesome sandy background that complements it. It looks as if you took a photo from directly above the seashell. But, the difference is that these are all in 3D! You can touch and feel the each of them. You can probably duplicate the sand effect at the background just as how you would do with sand art. It’s just amazing to have something from nature to be part of your home!
5. Hook Wall
Remind yourself of your fishing days with all the hooks that you have used from your boat! This is like the kind of thing that people will have in their house next to the ocean. They look stunning from a far. Not only they’re a huge ornamental decor but the hooks are functional too. Just in case you need somewhere to put up your coat or jacket on your way up, look no further than the wall along these stairs!

You can follow this layout of 6 frames to put around your wheel. Feel free to share in the comments if you have any more brilliant layout ideas! There’s absolutely no way to go wrong!
7. Life Buoy Compass
The life buoy and compass are two popular iconic items that relates to the nautical theme. The creator done it nicely by combining these two together to form a beautiful set of wall decor. It’s simple and just nice to have around the wall. It’s probably an awesome idea too if you want to put a clock in the middle of the buoy.
8. Seashell Garland
Whether it’s for festivities or just home decor, a garland is always a nice choice. It’s long and so can cover a huge area of the wall. This lovely garland has alternates of white and light blue colored seashells. This is perfect to be paired with the white wall background. Each seashell is poked with a hole for the string to go through. Gluing them maybe an alternate option but there is risk that it might fall off. Either way, choose to the methods of your liking and most importantly, enjoy the process!
9. Seahorse Driftwood Wall Decor
Decorate the wall on a budget but with a huge aesthetic effect! Driftwood is a cheap material that you can get from nature. You can breakdown large chunks of them into smaller ones. Slowly piece one by one to form your desired shape. The seahorses in this craft is really a stunning one! Giving them a blast of metallic gold would be a wonderful idea to instantly upgrade their appearance!
10. Coastal Clock
A clock kit is an easily available item in your local store. You can practically turn anything into a clock with it! This huge clock has a typical anchor shaped design in the middle of it. There’s surrounding numbers at near edge of the wooden piece as how a basic clock should have. But, you can go for modern style and just put tick marks instead of numbers. Somehow, the light blue is always the most ideal choice when it comes to nautical themed decor.
11. Coral Shelves
Why have normal shelves when you can have floating coral shelves? These floating shelves has coral piece at their bottom which seemingly supporting the entire shelves by themselves. The white shelves are paired nicely with the faint blue background. It’s truly a simple color combination with a huge effect.
