The best nursery wall ideas for your baby’s room
Decorating a nursery is a special experience for expectant parents. It’s the place where your little one will spend their early years and where you'll create countless precious memories. The nursery wall design plays a crucial role in setting the tone and atmosphere of the space. In this blog, we’ll share the best nursery wall ideas and tips to help you create a cosy and inviting space for your baby.
The best colours for a nursery wall
The colour of the nursery wall greatly impacts the overall feel of the room. Opt for soft, soothing shades like pastels or neutral tones to create a calm and serene environment for your little one. You want your baby to sleep well and feel at ease in their nursery.
Consider colours such as:
- light blue
- soft pink
- mint green
- light grey
- soft yellow
- cream
Soft, neutral tones like cream, light grey, or soft green create a peaceful atmosphere. Pastel shades like light pink, light blue, or soft yellow add a cheerful touch without being overwhelming. These colours help create a tranquil environment where your baby can sleep and play peacefully. Darker colours can work too, but use them sparingly, such as for an accent wall.
Painting ideas for the nursery wall
Want something unique? There are countless ways to get creative with paint. Here are some painting ideas for your nursery wall:
- paint a single wall in an accent colour

- paint the wall half and half, with the top half in a different colour from the bottom
- use chalkboard paint for a writable surface
- commission a mural with a cute scene, beautiful nature drawing, or adorable animals
These painting ideas can add a personalised touch to your baby room wall decor, making the nursery feel even more special.
