Let’s dive into five of our favorite nursery themes for your baby’s room.
The Safari-Themed Nursery
One of the most adorable classic nursery themes is a safari-themed nursery. The safari-themed nursery is a space full of bold patterns, warm textiles, and of course, some cute animal friends. With everything from swinging monkeys and fluffy bunnies to long-necked giraffes, this wildly cute space is where your little one will be able to have so many new adventures.
To decorate your baby’s safari-themed nursery, start by adding our nature-inspired Emma Sage Wallpaper to your baby’s room. This organic, sage green backdrop is the perfect color and pattern to make your little one’s nursery feel like an outdoor oasis.
Then, you can add some jungle-themed wall decor to your space, like some chic watercolor animal prints featuring a cute elephant, a baby lion, a snuggly sloth, and more. Choosing prints with neutral earth-tone colors will look stunning in your space.
Once you have chosen some beautiful wall decor, you can add some gorgeous animal-inspired throw pillows to give your baby’s nursery a pop of color. We recommend our feline-friendly Frida Pink Pillow if you want to take a walk on the wild side. This lovely design features tigers, flowers, and gorgeous colors that your baby will be sure to love. This print is a favorite at Pepper, and it’s the perfect pattern to liven up your baby’s safari-themed nursery.
The Woodland Nursery
Another stylish nursery design that families love is a woodland nursery. A woodland-themed nursery is perfect for a baby boy, a baby girl who loves fairies, or any family that loves spending time outdoors.
To decorate your baby’s room with this theme, start by having a gorgeous mural of snowy mountains. This style of nursery should use dark pastels, such as evergreen, purple, and gray, for a classic look that will be sure to mature with your child.
You should also place several adorable woodland creatures in this room, such as foxes, bears, owls, and deer. Adding woodland-inspired books, puzzles, and textiles will also help this picturesque design to come to life.
The Floral Nursery
If you are looking for a beautiful and feminine nursery style that your baby girl will fall in love with, a floral-themed nursery may be the perfect fit. To create this look, select a wallpaper teeming with gorgeous flowers like our Blake Rose Wallpaper. This stunning floral design features organic pink flowers that will dance across your nursery walls, creating a gorgeous and polished backdrop.
As your little girl grows, you can also incorporate hearts, unicorns, fairies, and other lovely elements fit for a princess.
The Modern Nursery
If your home is filled with clean lines, symmetry, and a modern interior design style, then you will love creating a modern nursery for your baby. A modern nursery should be filled with bold patterns and stylistic elements that promote simplicity and functionality. For your beautiful nursery space, start with having clean white walls and sophisticated furniture.
To add a pop of color and design to this space, our Hockney Pink Curtain features bold, abstract lines that are perfect for a modern nursery. This print is modern, unexpected, and downright fun, and is a wonderful way to add an element of surprise to your baby’s nursery.
The Minimalist Nursery
This year, one of the most popular and trending nursery designs that new parents and babies love is the minimalistnursery theme. A minimalist nursery is a space that is clean and uncluttered, filled with gorgeous pastels that will be soothing and calming for your little one. After all, a nursery is the room where your little one should be able to get some shut-eye and drift off to dreamland.
To get this look, start by choosing a color scheme filled with white, cream, and beige. Add wooden furniture and wicker storage baskets to give the room a simple and natural feel. For decor, you can add a potted plant for a pop of color and subtle wall art that your baby will love to look at.
