14 Dreamy Cloud-Themed Nursery Ideas

Take your baby’s room up, up, and away with a beautiful cloud theme that is easy to pull off and effortlessly gender-neutral. While the moon and stars are beautiful (these space nursery ideas are proof!), we love the simple sweetness and blank colour canvas of a cloudy nursery.

Conjuring a calm spring day, your little boy or girl’s walls and bed will be decked out in these pleasantly puffy motifs that are not only entertaining and fun to look at but just as ready to lull them peacefully to sleep at night or for naps.  

Here are some of our favourite finds to consider while putting together a cloud-theme nursery for your little girl or boy.

On the other hand, babyish clouds would be so sweet in any gender-neutral nursery. We love the blue skies look paired with these puffy cloud peel-and-stick decals which are also from Etsy. 

Cloud-Shaped Mirror for Nursery

Every baby room needs a mirror—first, they help you create some super cute selfies with your baby in the early days. And, as your baby grows, you will want to show them their face in the mirror often, which helps teach them early social cues and strengthens their self-esteem. 

3D Cloud Nursery Wall Art

This shiplap style nursery wall art is a cute and rustic take on the cloud-theme nursery, and it would work well in a toddler playroom down the line too, once Baby transitions to a big kid room.  

Washable Cloud Nursery Rug

A puffy cloud rug is the perfect punctuation for your cloudy nursery, and the fact that this one can be thrown right in the washing machine gives it a major edge. Babies are messy—but you will be prepared!

Cloud-Themed Nursery Mobile

Not only will our Sky mobile’s wooly clouds look darling dancing over Baby’s head, each one has a paediatrician-designed pattern on its underside—specially created to delight your little dreamer. Use it in SNOO, and once your bub graduates, hang it from the nursery ceiling for a piece of cloud décor that will enchant well beyond the baby days.

In the early days while you are padding around in the dark looking for a nappy or fresh pajamas, and later when Baby is a toddler and needs some comforting light at bedtime, this handy plug-in will save the day… or, well, the night! And it is mature enough looking to grow up with your little one.

Framed pictures, tiny vintage or heirloom toys, their first pair of special shoes… There are so many trinkets that can enhance Baby’s space but also should not be down low enough for them to reach. Enter: the floating shelf! And this one will feel right at home in your cloud-themed nursery.
