Top 8 Nursery Wall Art Ideas

Would you believe if I said we started planning our nursery only after our little baby boy turned 6 months? It was the perfect time as most of my nursery decor inspiration came from seeing his cute little character shaping everyday. The plan I had for his room was turning it into a playroom space that he wouldn’t grow out of anytime soon. As part of my nursery decor plans, the first was to liven up the bare walls with some nursery wall art ideas with accent pieces that are functional, inspirational, and educational.

From nursery wall art prints, to wall decals, there are a number of choices. So I have rounded up some nursery wall art ideas that might help new mumma’s set up a baby room/playroom in no time. Be sure to pin this post and come back more often as I’ll continuously be updating this post with new ideas, new art prints and decor.

Nursery Room Feature Wall

Who doesn’t love a good looking feature wall? We added some texture by creating a DIY modern wood accent wall with few stacks of melamine, followed by a fresh coat of paint.

Growing up my big sister and I shared a navy blue room. My parents got it painted out of our constant nag. There was no feature wall concept, there was navy blue on all walls. It was a trend back in my days (90’s). Currently the trend is all about pastel colors so I decided to paint one of the main walls in his nursery with a combination of blue and green pastels. It’s called the blue willow. More on that in our playroom reveal blog post.

Putting up any of the nursery wall art prints on this feature wall would make it all the more busy and not very aesthetically pleasing. So I decided to leave it plain and simple with just one wall hanging – a name plaque. I pictured this way before we start our home renovation.

Personalised Name Plaque

A wood colored name plaque is such a nice addition to the nursery wall art, whether you have a feature wall or not. These come in different materials like acrylic or MDF etc so you can choose based on your nursery styling. They are perfect for a baby girl or boys nursery decor.

Nursery Wall Art Prints

Playing is not just for fun but also crucial for a healthy brain development so a creative and safe space where kids can spend hours of quality time playing could encourage independent playing too. Ah! I know what you are thinking – ‘hours for playing’. Noway that happens! Maybe someday?

From inspirational quotes, animal prints to canvas wall hanging, there are so many wall art choices. Here are some to get you started on your planning.
