Calming Baby Nursery Wall Mural Themes That Grow With Your Child
Designing a baby's room is one of the most special parts of preparing for a new arrival—and a custom wall mural creates a gentle, storybook focal wall behind the crib without overwhelming the room:
- Woodland Forests & Safari Animals: Welcome baby home with sweet deer, foxes, and birch trees in our woodland and forest murals, or friendly baby elephants, giraffes, and lions in our jungle and safari animal murals.
- Soft Watercolors, Florals & Rainbows: Create a serene nursery backdrop for a baby girl or boy with pastel watercolor landscapes, botanical blossoms, and gentle rainbow arches.
- Celestial Skies, Clouds & Adventure Mountains: Inspire peaceful sleep and big dreams with starry night skies, dreamy clouds, hot air balloons, and misty mountain peaks that transition effortlessly from infant nursery to toddler bedroom.
- Baby-Safe Inks & Damage-Free Removal: Every mural is printed in the USA with non-toxic, water-based, Greenguard Gold-certified inks that are completely odorless. Choose water-activated Prepasted Wallpaper for a classic, breathable PVC-free matte finish, or SmartStick™ peel-and-stick removable wallpaper for effortless peel-off removal when your baby graduates to a big-kid bed.
Designing Around Cribs, Changing Tables & Wainscoting
Nursery walls almost always feature tall cribs, gliders, changing tables, or half-wall wainscoting and chair rails—which can easily hide the best part of a standard roll wallpaper pattern.
Because every nursery wallpaper mural is printed to your exact wall measurements, our team helps parents and interior designers tailor the artwork to fit your nursery's layout:
- Keep Animals & Focal Points Above the Crib Rail: Let us know the height of your crib headboard or wainscoting, and our design team can adjust the crop, shift key characters upward, or flip the orientation so the artwork sits cleanly above your furniture.
- Soften Colors & Add Baby's Name: Want to tone down a background color to match your crib bedding, or add your baby's name, monogram, or favorite lullaby quote? You can personalize text online or work with an Account Manager on custom color adjustments.
- Print Original Nursery Art or Family Illustrations: Use our Create Your Own custom wall mural option to turn a custom watercolor illustration or high-resolution photo into a one-of-a-kind nursery feature wall.
Soothing Environments for Hospital Birthing Centers, NICUs, Pediatric Clinics & Daycares
Calming, nature-inspired wall murals do more than decorate—they help comfort new parents and ease stress across maternity wards, hospital birthing centers, NICUs, lactation rooms, infant daycares, and pediatric medical offices.
For healthcare and childcare facilities that require strict indoor air quality standards and daily sanitization, we offer Class A fire-rated, Type II commercial wallcoverings including PVC-free Eco Bella™ — Texture, EnviroPro™ — Texture, and heavy-duty Vinyl HD — Texture. On Vinyl HD — Texture and EnviroPro — Texture, you can also specify our MicroBloc™ Antimicrobial Topcoat or Protective Matte Topcoat for extra protection in clinical and infant care rooms.
Frequently Asked Questions About Nursery Wall Murals
Frequently Asked Questions About Nursery Wall Murals
Are your nursery wall murals non-toxic, odorless, and safe for a newborn baby's room?
Yes. Every Murals Your Way wall mural is printed in the USA using water-based, Greenguard Gold-certified, ultra-low VOC inks that are completely odorless and safe for newborns, expectant mothers, and sensitive indoor environments. We also offer PVC-free and phthalate-free materials—including Prepasted Wallpaper, Eco Bella — Texture, and EnviroPro — Texture—for total peace of mind above your baby's crib.
What is the best wallpaper material for a baby nursery?
For residential nurseries, our two most popular materials are Prepasted Wallpaper and SmartStick peel-and-stick wallpaper. Prepasted Wallpaper is a smooth, breathable, PVC-free paper with a water-activated backing that installs cleanly and removes with water when you redecorate. SmartStick peel-and-stick requires no water or paste and peels away cleanly from properly primed drywall—making it ideal for apartments or parents who plan to update the theme in a few years. You can compare textures and colors under your nursery lighting by ordering free material swatches.
How do I measure my nursery wall if I have wainscoting, a chair rail, or a tall crib?
If you are installing the mural above wainscoting or a chair rail, measure only the width and height of the upper wall area you want to cover and add 4 inches to both dimensions for trimming—see our how to measure a wall guide for diagrams. If you are covering the full wall behind a tall crib or changing table, let an Account Manager know your furniture height so our design team can position key animals or artwork above the crib line and send a digital proof before printing.
How much do custom baby nursery murals cost, and how fast do they ship?
All nursery murals are priced by square footage and material selection (24 sq. ft. minimum) under our BP³ Pricing promise, giving you our lowest everyday price automatically without waiting for a promo code. Every order is custom-printed in Minnesota in 4–7 business days and qualifies for free FedEx Ground shipping within the contiguous 48 U.S. states on qualified orders.
