How to Choose the Perfect Wall Art for Your Baby’s Nursery

Designing your baby’s nursery is such a joyful part of preparing for their arrival. From choosing the cot to picking the softest blankets, every detail matters. One of the most personal touches you can add is nursery wall art – it helps set the tone of the room and makes the space feel warm, calm, and welcoming.

If you’re not sure where to start, here are some tips for choosing the perfect nursery prints for your little one’s room.

1. Nursery Wall Art Themes Parents Love

Nursery prints are a simple way to bring a theme to life. Popular choices in the UK right now include:

• Woodland animals – foxes, owls, and deer create a cosy, storybook feel.

• Safari animals – lions, giraffes, and elephants bring an adventurous, playful touch.

• Under the sea – whales, turtles, and fish add a calming coastal vibe.

• Alphabet prints – perfect for combining decoration with learning.

2. Choosing Colours for Nursery Prints

Soft neutrals are ideal if you want a timeless look, while pastel pinks, blues, or greens can tie in beautifully with bedding and furniture. If you’re going for a bolder look, a colourful set of animal or alphabet prints can make a real statement.

3. Why Personalised Nursery Prints Are Special

A personalised print with your baby’s name is a wonderful way to make the nursery feel extra special. It’s also a keepsake you’ll treasure for years to come. These also make thoughtful gifts for baby showers or new parents.

4. Nursery Wall Art Sizes & Layout Ideas

For a subtle touch, choose one or two A4 prints above a chest of drawers. For more impact, create a gallery wall with a mix of A5, A4, and A3 prints. Larger statement prints (such as A2 or 50x70cm) look striking above a cot or on the main nursery wall.

5. Framing Options for Baby Name Prints

The right frame can really elevate your prints. White frames keep things light and airy, oak adds natural warmth, and black gives a modern edge. In the UK, many parents opt for lightweight wooden frames that are safe and easy to hang.

Your baby’s nursery should feel like a calm, happy space – and the right wall art can help you create that atmosphere instantly. Whether you choose woodland animals, safari friends, or a personalised alphabet print, your nursery wall art will be one of the details that makes the room truly yours.
