Baby Boy & Baby Girl Nursery Inspiration

February 17, 2016 by Abby

We might not know the gender of the baby yet- at least not for another week or two- but that hasn’t stopped me from dreaming of nursery decor.

As I begin to prepare for baby number three’s nursery, I really want to be intentional about creating a mellow space. I don’t want a room that screams “baby!”- the crib and diapers will take care of that- and I want to purchase and create pieces that can be used as the baby grows, or in other rooms in our house.

Baby Boy Nursery Inspiration


For a boy room, I love the idea of loosely following an adventure theme with a travel/global direction rather than a wilderness/camping vein. I’m not talking matching mobile and bumpers and wall art, but more of a sprinkling of perfect pieces.

Baby Boy Nursery Inspiration

  1. Adventure Awaits Sign | Signs from the Pines // I might have a mild obsession with globes and maps, which makes this pallet wood sign a perfect addition to a baby boy nursery
  2. Map Alphabet & Numbers | Cheeky Albi // No character prints in this room. These map pictures can easily be used down the road in the kids’ playroom
  3. Adventure is Out There Print | Wall Art Printables // This piece will grow with baby and be right at home in a kid’s room
  4. Upholstered Glider | Wayfair // I’ve known since baby number one that I wanted a chair like this in the nursery. I’ve yet to get one, but with two toddlers and a perpetually-noisy house, I’m making it a priority this time
  5. 4 Cubby Wall Shelf | Wayfair // I can’t take credit for this idea; I saw it in the beautiful nursery at Sloan and Co. and knew I wanted to incorporate something similar in mine
  6. Moutains Crib Sheet | Finley Baby // I fell in love with the unique colors in this crib sheet, as well as with the understated pattern
  7. Arrows Crib Sheet | Feather Their Nest // I’ve loved arrows for a while, but I feel like they’re becoming a little overdone. I don’t want to make the dominant theme in the nursery, but I would like to incorporate them in a small way

Baby Girl Nursery Inspiration

I’ve given a lot of thought to using to a few specific colors in a girl nursery, but in the end I decided I prefer dainty floral patterns. The walls in what will be the baby’s room are already gray, making them the perfect backdrop for whatever fun prints we decide to use.

Baby Girl Nursery Inspiration

 

 

 

  1. Mama & Baby Giraffe | Be Wild & Free // How precious is this floral watercolor print? The Etsy shop was similar ones with elephants, but these giraffes are my favorite
  2. Tassel Banner | Hobby Lobby // I know the colors of these tassels might not match perfectly with the other colors I’m likely to include in the room, but I can’t stop picturing it draped over the crib or hanging from a bookshelf
  3. Upholstered Glider | Target // This is the other glider I’m considering. I know I want gray, so now it’s about looking at price and reviews
  4. Run Wild My Child Sign | Handy Gerl // I loved this sign from the minute I saw it. I’d love to include several pops of gold in the nursery
  5. Floral Crib Sheet | Fox Hill Baby // This is the perfect crib sheet. I love that it’s pretty and dainty, but it doesn’t have stereotypical pastel colors
  6. Floral Pouf | Target // Initially, I just wanted a cute pouf to go with the glider. Then I found this beauty. I think it’s perfect, with it’s subtle floral theme and unexpected color

    I like arrow crib sheet for the baby boy room! But that Adventure Waits sign is awesome, too! Some cool ideas here

      Thanks, Alex! I have to be honest, I think I’d use the Adventure Awaits sign in pretty much any room of my house. I love it!

    Such cute ideas, I love the Floral Pouf for the little girls room and the 4 Cubby Wall Shelf for the boys room.

      Thank you, Nathacha! I’m thinking I might need to work both those pieces into my house somehow even if they don’t end up in a nursery 😉

    Both of these ideas are so cute! I love the idea of an adventure theme for a baby boy’s nursery.

      Thanks, Jenna! With the two older siblings this kid is getting, he/she better be ready for an adventure 🙂

    Such cute ideas! I really love the simplistic details. If I were to have another baby, I’d go with simple and clean!

      Thank you, Joanna! I’m sure the ideas are at least a little bit me projecting; since this is baby #3, I’m definitely going to need a place in the house that’s simple and clean.

    These are the cutest ideas! Do you have any inkling of which gender your baby will be? I am going to guess girl! Either way your nursery will be adorable with this as your inspiration.

      Thanks, Laura! My husband thinks it’s a boy, and I was kind of feeling the same way, but lately I’ve been thinking girl. Only a few more weeks until we know and get to get started on the nursery!
