If you’re welcoming a baby into your family, you’ll be dreaming of the moment you bring them home for the first time. Creating a nursery is one of the most exciting DIY projects you’ll ever do, from setting up their crib to choosing your nursery wallpaper. If you’ve scrolled through Pinterest or Instagram, you’ll notice that nursery trends are becoming more minimalistic and gender-neutral, while still having a personality.
Decorating your baby’s nursery can feel overwhelming. Most parents choose to design their nursery to match their own taste, whether it’s with earth-tone neutrals or preppy gingham prints. Choosing the right nursery wallpaper can help create a bedroom that can grow with your baby as they become a toddler with their own personality.
Our nursery wallpapers are available in two PVC-free styles – peel and stick, and non-pasted wallpapers to suit every type of property, whether it’s your forever home or you’re renting.
Nursery Decorating Trends for 2024
Book and cartoon characters, from Winnie the Pooh to Mickey Mouse, have long been trends for nurseries and baby rooms. In 2024, nursery trends are becoming more universal with a focus on designs that can grow with your baby and match the rest of your home décor.
Gingham print is popping up everywhere for nursery décor, from pillows to blankets and crib sheets. Nursery trends are no longer gender restricted. Little girls are having dinosaur prints with soft pastels appearing in rooms for baby boys, just as much as for girls. Instead of sticking to a neutral beige or monochromatic black and white, earth-tone hues of sage green offer a gender-neutral alternative.
The so-called ‘grandmillennial’ trend is making its way to nurseries, focusing on chic and classic designs with a contemporary twist. Picture exposed wood with soft furnishing and timeless wallpaper designs that you can use for years to come.
The first step to creating a nursery is to choose your crib and pick your wallpaper. You don’t need to break the bank with baby-specific furniture, beyond the essentials. Choosing a nursery wallpaper can transform your space and get it ready for bringing home your baby.
