18 Nursery Mural Ideas to Elevate Your Baby’s Space

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

Though nurseries of days gone by may have been all about softness and subtlety, there is something to be said for a big old nursery statement piece. And, if you are looking for something bolder than nursery artwork—that does not necessarily have the uniformity of nursery wallpaper—a nursery mural can be a fantastic way to make a splash in your baby’s room! From modern to classic, out-there to subdued, here are some of our favourite nursery mural ideas.
