What art is best for a nursery?

Soft, simple baby animal prints in calm pastel colours suit a nursery best. Safari and woodland animals are popular, and gentle tones like blush, sage, and sky blue keep the room restful. See the full animal wall art range.

Is canvas safe to hang in a nursery?

Yes, and it is a good choice. Canvas is light and has no glass, so it is safer over a crib than a heavy framed print. Still, keep larger pieces off the wall directly above where the baby sleeps and fix everything firmly to the wall.

How many pieces should I hang in a nursery?

One sweet piece over the crib or dresser is often enough. For a fuller look, group two or three animals in the same palette as a small gallery. A gallery wall set keeps them coordinated.

What animals are popular for nursery art?

Elephants, bunnies, bears, and giraffes are classic, along with hippos and woodland animals. Ocean animals like turtles and whales also suit a calm nursery. Pick a couple that fit your theme from the animal art collection.

Q: What colors are best for a nursery?

Soft, muted tones work best: blush, sage green, sky blue, and cream. They feel calm and easy to sleep in, and they suit a baby of any age. Brighter accents can come from toys and textiles rather than the art.

Pick a soft, calming palette

Nurseries feel best in gentle tones. Soft blush, sage, sky blue, and cream keep the room calm and easy to sleep in, and they suit a baby of any age. Animal art in these tones reads as sweet rather than busy. For more, see the full animal wall art range or everything made for the nursery.

Hang it safely above the crib

Place art so it can be seen from the crib, but keep heavy framed pieces off the wall directly above where the baby sleeps. Canvas is a good choice here since it is light and has no glass. Hang it low enough to enjoy from the changing table or rocking chair, and secure it firmly to the wall.

Choose animals with a theme

A loose theme ties the room together. Safari animals like elephants, lions, and giraffes are a classic choice, woodland animals suit a cosier room, and ocean or baby animal prints feel soft and playful. Pick one direction and let a couple of pieces carry it. Browse the wider animal art collection for ideas.

Grow with the room

Babies become toddlers fast, so lean toward art that lasts. Simple, sweet animal pieces in calm colours work from newborn through the toddler years, where a cartoonish print can feel outgrown quickly. A kids room piece or two can carry the same theme as they get older.
