If you’re eager to put a mystical spin on your decor, look no further than this selection of mermaid bedroom ideas. Mermaids are an excellent way to make your interior design unique and playful. Aside from being beautiful sea creatures, they also evoke plenty of other details from the ocean world. Thanks to the versatility of the theme, many different styles can be pursued.
For example, I love incorporating other sea creatures and accessories into a mermaid bedroom. Whether you decorate your walls with mermaid decor, use the tail as inspiration for furniture, or choose images to accessorize your bedroom, there are plenty of ideas to pick from.
Mermaid Bedroom Styles
Pink and Girlie
For the ultimate girlie look, choose an all-pink style for your furniture and linen. In the picture above, the mermaids take over the wall, highlighting the bed and adorning the room. If you look carefully you’ll notice the aqua lamps match their tails, a striking contrast to the pink decor. For anyone who is a girlie girl at heart, choosing a pink mermaid bedroom is one of the best ideas.
Under the Sea
Let’s keep in mind that mermaids live under the sea, so it’s perfectly fitting to design your bedroom as though you too were living under the sea. Walls painted to mimic water, and plenty of sea life decorating the space makes it easy to forget you live on land. The bedroom pictured incorporates a scene from arguably the most famous little mermaid, Disney’s Ariel.
Elegant
Mermaid bedrooms aren’t just for kids. This beautiful wallpaper showcases the allure and charm of these sea creatures in all of their elegance. Pastel colors, white, and gold accents make this design particularly chic. For a classy take, think of choosing wallpaper or a duvet with a mermaid pattern and pairing it with soft colors.

Mermaid Wall Art Ideas
Scale Wall
I love this scale design wallpaper! It’s the perfect way to include mermaids in your decor without necessarily showcasing a full creature. Mermaids are known for their beautiful tails with shiny scales in a rainbow of colors. This wallpaper highlights this stunning feature while keeping the underlying theme subtle. This is perfect for including a bit of magic into your space without having to commit to an entire creature.
Under the Sea Theme Wall Decal
You can decorate your entire bedroom with an under the sea theme, or you can stick to displaying it as a mural for one wall. This design is playful with a mix of pastels and brighter colors depicting seaweed, shells, sea animals, and of course a mystical mermaid. See if you can find a wallpaper with a similar design, or opt for wall decals to place the scene exactly as you want it to be. Check Etsy for availability.
Murals
If you’re serious about mermaids, nothing says so more than an entire wall mural dedicated to them. I love the enchanted scene painted above, it feels like a window into the sea. I’m sure you’ll enjoy sweet dreams of the sea sleeping next to this lifesized mural. Etsy.
Gallery Wall
If you’re looking for simpler ideas that can easily be installed and swapped, create your own mermaid art gallery. Choose your favorite images, frame them, and hang them around your bedroom. I love the trio above and can imagine that hanging another row of three above would certainly add plenty of style to your space. This is a great way to show off your love for mermaids without overtaking your entire room design.
Wall Mounted Mermaid
This wall-mounted mermaid is such a beautiful piece of art! Her tail is made up of sea glass and the entire frame is made from wood. Wall-mounted styles come in all sizes, materials, and colors so you’re sure to find one that fits into your decor. If you’ve ever wanted to have a real-life mermaid around, this life-size version comes pretty close. I love the magical charm this design brings to a room. Here’s the step-by-step DIY guide on making one yourself.
Mermaid Furniture
Shell Bed
This has got to be one of the coolest beds around! Shaped like two halves of a shell, you’ll definitely be dreaming of the sea while you sleep in this bed. Keep in mind that the unique round shape is best suited for larger rooms. Everything down to the rock and shell details at the base of this bed has been carefully designed to make you the true mermaid of this space. Get the price here.
Scalloped Headboard
For a simpler take on a mermaid-themed bed, this scalloped headboard above is one of my favorite ideas. Satin and pastel colors make this look subtle yet undeniably chic. This is a great design if you want to include some sea magic into your bedroom yet aren’t prepared to have it take over your space. The scalloped headboard is reminiscent of a sea shell and even brings a mermaid tail to mind. To make one for yourself, see the complete DIY guide.
Mermaid Canopy
This mermaid canopy is ideal for anyone who can’t get enough of the mythical creatures. There’s plenty of space for delicate details at the top of the canopy, and the scalloped bedspread is also a perfect match. Pink, pastels, and some aqua-colored accents make this room a girl’s paradise.
For another take on a girls’ canopy bed decor, I love this simpler style made from a lightweight material. It’s the perfect complement to the pink and aqua colors creating a classy style. The mermaid tail throw blankets are a subtle reminder of the mystical creature. See how Tiffany at Pretty Real designed it.
For an accent piece, I love this canopy bed with a mermaid scale crown at the top. Elegant and chic, the silver colors draw focus to the bed without overwhelming the other details in the room. A silver accent piece matches just about anything, creating a fancy look worthy of a sea creature. See similar ideas at potterybarnkids.com.
Duvet
Duvets are one of my favorite ideas for an easy way to add an undersea theme to your bedroom decor. Fuss-free and simple to add or remove, a duvet is a quick way to change the entire style of your room. For a look focused on mermaids, opt for a design like the one above with the creature displayed front and center.
Meanwhile, if you like mermaids but don’t want to splash your duvet with an image of one, I love the style pictured above. Scales in vibrant turquoise hues with scattered golden accents are definitely a glamorous way to include them in your decor. For any adults or teenagers looking for a dazzling duvet, this style is a perfect choice. Check Wayfair for availability.

Table
Not all mermaid furniture is pink or turquoise! This stunning table is a work of art sculpted in full detail.

This table is certainly ideal for any sophisticated undersea theme lover. Check Walmart for availability.
