12 Clever Fox Nursery Ideas

Note: While these nursery photos are gorgeous, please know that it’s NOT safe to place stuffed animals, pillows, bumpers, or any loose items inside your infant’s sleep space until Baby is a year old. —Dr. Harvey Karp

Baby rooms and animals go hand-in-hand, but the animal-themed nurseries of today are truly special and sweet. One popular critter theme to consider is the fox! Foxes are not just cute and cuddly, they are also cunning animals that—crucially—bring a fun pop of colour to the baby’s room. And, with a few strategic decor details, a fox nursery is easy to execute for a girl or boy. Here are a few of our favourite fox nursery ideas...
