Under The Sea Themed Decorating Ideas

The Little Mermaid is arguably one of Disney's most popular animations, especially now that it was also turned into a live action movie.

Ariel and her friends are so charming for kids. Mermaids have all the magic normal Princesses don't. They have glittering tales, the ability to move freely on both earth and water, and they can make friends among sea creatures as well as humans.

It is no wonder then that little girls dream of being mermaids, right? But while they could never have a shiny, shapeshifiting tail, they can definitely get a beautiful and whimsical Under The Sea themed bedroom, courtesy of their doting parents.

What do you need to achieve this theme? That's what you are about to find out with this article. Read on to enjoy these Under The Sea Decorations For Your Little Mermaid's Bedroom.

DIY Scallop Accent Wall For Mermaid Bedroom

A teal scallop accent wall is a must in any little mermaid's room, as it mimics both the waves and the scales of a mermaid's tail, whichever way you prefer to look at it. You can achieve the effect with tiles or with a painted gradient, created either by hand or with the help of a stencil. via weheartit

Mermaid Tail Mural Art

This is much more of a literal take on a mermaid accent wall. This one was painted either freehand or with a stencil using shades of purple over a pink wall. A giant mermaid sticker or cardboard cutout would be much easier to install and remove when the mermaid phase passes, though. via pinterest

DIY Mermaid Pillows

These mermaid scale pillows are incredibly cute and impressive, but not that difficult to make. All you need to do is create scales in different shades of the same material and then either sew or glue them over the original pillowcase to create the scaled gradient effect you in see in the picture. via lovethispic

Now this is a real mermaid's tail coming to life on the wall. This shiny mermaid curtain is purely made of sequins which form scales in different shades of teal and green, creating a truly, blindingly magical effect. via pinterest

Light-Up Under-the-Sea Bed Tent

This project is probably more for the littlest of mermaids, as it entails installing a green tent-like canopy over their beds.

A nightlight was also installed inside at the top to illuminate their playtime activities. via magiccabin

Coral and Mint Mermaid Themed Personalized Wooden Letters

DIY Little Mermaid Mason Jar Light

This easy DIY mermaid mason jar light are a wonderful gift for any occasion. The mason jar's lid was covered in glitter, which is simple enough to do, but then the silhouette of The Little Mermaid was added to the side, and a lighted marbled effect was created inside, probably with a combination of lights and crystals, or maybe some clever aquacolor painting. The whole thing was tied off with twine and finished with a seashell. via apumpkinandaprincess

DIY Mermaid Wood Sign

The wood mermaid sign is very reminiscent of the sea because the wood obviously calls boats and ships to mind. You can find a stencil of any sayings or drawings you'd like and make it your own using the colors of your preference. via elevate-everyday

Mermaid Tail Glitter Standard Light Switch Plate

This is probably one of the fanciest light switches anyone can ever have. It was painted a teal color and then a mermaid's tail was stenciled in pure glitter, occupying the remaining space. It is important in projects like this to make sure all of the products are safe to use around electric ports and that nothing gets in, though. via etsy

Now this is definitely the minimalist mermaid DIY project. It is a simple square canvas painted in soft tones to emulate the beach and then decorated with little gems, which make a shell path on the "sand", adding detail and shine to the piece. via mrkate

Cute Mermaid Shell Headboard

This is truly an Ocean Princess's bed, with its pink overhead pendant, sheer canopy and teal bedding. The centerpiece is, however, the large coral pink cushioned shell headboard, which is truly beautiful and impressive.

DIY Painted Mermaid Vase

As such a simple project, it's just a mermaid tail drawn on the side of a vase. Use sharpies to create the image and you will likely get it just right. via natashalh

Little Mermaid Themed Card With Stencil

This 3D greeting card is fantastic both for gifting as well as displaying, and it's not difficult to put together.

Glue the pieces together and decorate the card to finish this cute project. via mayholicraft

DIY Shell Mirror Using Shells From Michael's And Other Craft Stores

Starfish Mirror

This mirror may be small, but it is definitely impressive, as its full perimeter was decorated with a thick frame of tiny starfish layered together. The teal wall and the quote painted just above it enhance the effect.

Old Fishing Nets Decoration For Mermaid Bedroom

Repurpose old nets and fairy lights by hanging them from the ceiling above the bed to create a unique ocean inspired lighting fixture for your little mermaid's bedroom.

DIY Mermaid Shell Scalloped Nailhead Headboard

This bed is another great example of a sleeping arrangement truly meant for a Sea Princess. The cushioned 3D shell headboard is made from scalloped pieces of foam mounted on an arch for support, so it's definitely not impossible to replicate, if you'd really like to. via mrkate

Seahorse String Art with Free Printable

The little seahorse piece is really precious and simple in nature. You will need to print the template and follow the instructions carefully though if you want to replicate the string design. via spotofteadesigns

Real Starfish Decor On The Wall

It is one of the simplest ideas here. Paint the wall blue or teal and then add some real or fake starfish as decoration. You can also mix some shells in for variety. via themarylandgirl

DIY Bubble Chandelier

Bubbles are definitely reminiscent of the ocean, and that is the theme of this chandelier. String some clear glass balls from the ceiling and add one or multiple light bulbs to achieve a similar effect to this. via inspirationmadesimple

Purple And Teal Hair Bow Holder For A Little Mermaid

This simple hair bow holder – which you could also use for headbands and jewelry, for instance – is very subtly mermaid themed with its colors and decorations. Build a shallow frame with several thin sticks installed inside horizontally, add a starfish or shell at the corner for decoration and a bow at the top for hanging if you want to replicate it. via etsy

Seashells And Sand Displaying In A Fish Bowl

A fishbowl will always evoke the Under The Sea theme, but this one does that with sand and seashells instead of water and actual fish.
