How to Create a Nautical Room with an Anchor Cushion?
Dreaming of a gentle nautical vibe?
The nautical style is a timeless hit in decorating children’s rooms — it’s associated with carefree holidays, adventures on the high seas, and wonderful stories about sailing. Most importantly, it’s universal and grows with your child. With just a few carefully chosen accessories, you can bring lightness and a hint of sea adventure into any space.
Want your little one’s room (or that of your tiny explorer) to feel like a storybook tale of oceans and distant lands? Here’s how to do it step by step — with a small but striking accent in the form of our Anchor Cushion.
Why choose a nautical theme?
Simply because it’s a style that is:
- Soft and timeless – perfect for a nursery, toddler’s room, or even older kids.
- Universal – works beautifully for both boys and girls.
- Stimulating imagination – encourages play with boats, little fishermen, pirates or underwater explorers.
It’s also built around colors that bring calm and harmony — something truly priceless in a child’s room.
The basics of nautical style: colors and fabrics
Nautical design loves white, sky blue and navy. You can choose a dominant base (like white walls) and break it up with accents in blue or pops of red for energy.
Natural fabrics like cotton, linen, soft throws and cushions add coziness. Combine them with light wood, and your base is ready for styling.
Key accessories in a nautical room
In this style, it’s the little details that tell the whole story. Focus on:
- Ropes, braids, wicker baskets — bringing that portside feel indoors.
- Pictures of sailboats, fish, or old maps.
- Bunting garlands – perfect above the bed to add playful movement.
- Anchor Cushions – the absolute standout that instantly transports any space into the world of little sailors and pirates.
The Anchor Cushion – a small accent with big impact
An Anchor Cushion from Betty’s Home is more than just a cute accessory. It’s a soft, child-friendly decoration that immediately catches the eye and brings a nautical vibe into the room.
Available in a variety of colors (classic navy, gentle blue or calm beige), it’s easy to match to your decor. You can place it on the bed, in a reading chair or on a shelf — it looks stunning anywhere.
How to style a room with an anchor as the star?
1. Above the bed
Place the Anchor Cushion next to regular square pillows. Add a striped throw (the nautical must-have!) and you have a cozy sailor’s nest ready for sweet dreams.
2. In the reading corner
The soft anchor looks amazing on an armchair or inside a teepee tent. Invite some plush toys and storybooks about sea adventures — your child will love spending time there.
3. On a shelf or dresser
Thanks to its shape, the anchor is also a beautiful ornament even when simply “waiting around.” Pair it with a small globe, a wooden boat, or a marine-style lantern.
Why will you love our Anchor Cushion?
- Handmade in Poland from safe, certified materials (OEKO-TEX®) suitable for babies.
- Filled with hypoallergenic fibers — perfect for hugging and snuggling.
- Holds its shape and looks beautiful even after countless adventures and washes.
It’s a small detail that truly transforms the entire room. Plus, it can be a wonderful companion for drifting off to sleep and imagining ocean voyages in your little one’s dreams.
Nautical style grows with your child
This is another reason why nautical decorations are so beloved by parents and interior designers. A room decorated in whites, blues, and natural textures doesn’t need a complete overhaul as your child grows. Simply swap out a few accessories, and the space evolves from a baby nursery into a room for a preschooler, and later a teenager.
And the anchor? Often it stays with your child for years — moving from their first crib to a bigger bed, always reminding them of the carefree days of childhood.
