Nursery Wall Art: Gentle Animal Illustrations and Whimsical Prints for Baby Rooms
Nursery Wall Art That Grows with Your Child
Choosing nursery wall art is one of the most personal parts of preparing a baby's room. The best nursery décor creates a gentle, stimulating environment that soothes newborns and continues to delight toddlers and young children. Our nursery art selection features whimsical animal illustrations, nature scenes with soft colour palettes, and cottagecore prints with storybook charm — artwork designed to create a magical atmosphere without overwhelming a baby's developing senses.
Unlike mass-produced nursery prints, every piece in this collection is an original design with genuine artistic quality. These are prints that parents enjoy looking at too — art that elevates the nursery from a purely functional baby room into a space that the whole family appreciates. The colour palettes lean toward warm earth tones, soft greens, gentle creams, and muted pastels that coordinate with modern nursery colour schemes.
Animal Illustrations: Cats, Frogs, and Woodland Creatures
Animal art is a nursery classic for good reason — children are naturally drawn to animals, and well-illustrated animal prints create warmth and wonder. Our cottagecore frogs and toads are particular nursery favourites, with their cozy domestic scenes of baking, tea-drinking, and garden-tending. Cat portraits in folk art and medieval styles add character and humour that children grow to love as they develop.
Nature-themed nursery prints featuring forests, mountains, and botanical illustrations connect children to the natural world from their earliest days. A serene forest landscape above the crib creates a calming bedtime atmosphere, while a cheerful mushroom village print adds colour and whimsy to a changing area. These prints pair beautifully with natural wood furniture, woven baskets, and soft textile accessories.
Nursery Décor Styling Tips and Print Sizes
For nursery gallery walls, a collection of three to five smaller prints arranged in a loose cluster works beautifully above a dresser or beside the crib. Mix animal portraits with nature scenes for variety while keeping the colour palette cohesive. For a single statement piece, choose a larger format landscape or woodland scene that creates an immersive focal point.
All nursery wall art is printed on demand by Redbubble on heavyweight, acid-free paper with non-toxic, fade-resistant inks. Canvas prints provide a frameless option that eliminates glass — an important safety consideration for nursery walls. Multiple size options ensure the right fit for any nursery layout, and worldwide shipping means these gentle, whimsical prints can reach any doorstep.
Frequently Asked Questions
What art is safe for a nursery?
Any framed print securely mounted to the wall with appropriate hardware is safe for nurseries. Avoid hanging heavy frames directly above the crib — place art to the side or above a changing table instead. Lightweight prints in acrylic or plastic frames are safer alternatives to glass near cribs. Content-wise, gentle illustrations, soft nature scenes, and whimsical animal art all create calming nursery atmospheres.
What themes work best for nursery wall art?
Gentle animal illustrations are the most popular nursery theme — cottagecore frogs, woodland creatures, and soft cat portraits appeal to both children and adults. Nature scenes with forests, mountains, and botanical subjects grow with the child and avoid the need to redecorate. Avoid overly babyish themes that the child will quickly outgrow. Art with warm, muted colour palettes works across gender-neutral and themed nursery designs.
How high should I hang art in a nursery?
Hang nursery art lower than standard height — centre it at about 48 inches from the floor rather than the typical 57 inches. As the child grows, they will appreciate being able to see the art from their crib and later from standing height. For art near the changing table, hang it at adult eye level since that is where parents spend the most focused time.
Will my baby outgrow nursery wall art quickly?
Not if you choose wisely. Avoid character-specific or heavily themed baby art in favour of illustrations with artistic quality that appeal at any age. Cottagecore scenes, nature landscapes, and whimsical animal portraits work from infancy through childhood and beyond. Many parents find that quality art chosen for the nursery eventually moves to a child's bedroom or playroom as they grow.
