15 Space-Themed Nursery Ideas That Are Out of This World

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

We know you want to give your little one the world, but how about the whole galaxy while you are at it? A space-themed nursery is such a fun choice for a baby boy or girl, and can be taken in seemingly infinite directions, from dark and moody to bright and understated. Whether you are opting for full-on moonwalking splendor and rockets in flight, or soft stargazing and a scattering of planets, here is some of our favourite space-themed nursery inspiration. Your little bundle of joy is about to absolutely rock your world; have fun doing the same for them with a space nursery theme.
