Nursery Room

Baby animals, soft landscapes, and whimsical characters are the go-to picks. Nursery wall art with gentle color palettes keeps the room calming. Baby room art works best when it soothes both you and the baby. Our Baby Animal Art collection is popular for this. Avoid anything too bold or high-contrast for newborns since softer tones are easier on developing eyes.

Soft pastels, warm neutrals, and muted earth tones all work. Nursery canvas art in sage green, blush pink, soft blue, or cream keeps the room feeling peaceful. For gender-neutral nursery decor, stick to warm beige and soft greens. Browse our Pastel Colors collection for prints that match this vibe without being too saccharine.

Lower than you'd think. In a nursery, hang baby room art so the center of the piece is about 48 inches from the floor, not the standard 57 inches. This accounts for the fact that you'll be sitting in a rocker or glider and looking at the walls from a lower vantage point. Above the crib, hang nursery art higher and make sure it's securely mounted.

Canvas on a wooden frame is lighter and safer than framed glass prints. That said, hang nursery art well above your child's reach and use proper wall anchors. Don't hang anything directly over the crib that could fall. Place pieces to the side or high enough that there's zero risk. Nursery decor should be secure, not just decorative.

Pick pieces that aren't too baby-specific and they'll last for years. Nursery wall art featuring animals, nature scenes, or abstract shapes transitions easily into a toddler or young kid's room. Nursery canvas art without the word "baby" in the design ages well. Our Kids Room Art collection has prints designed to work from infancy through elementary school age.
