As an expectant parent, one of the most exciting things during your pregnancy is to design an adorable nursery for your baby girl or boy. When beginning to think about baby nursery ideas, there are so many factors to consider. Color, budget, vibe, and theme to name a few. And when you finally decide on your theme, it’s important to fully commit to it. There’s no better way to do that than with a sweet nursery wall mural.
During both of my pregnancies, I tried to find projects and to-dos to fill my time while I not-so-patiently waited for the baby to come. Along with buying baby gear, baby-proofing the house, and general preparedness tasks, I also threw myself fully into decorating the nursery. I chose a pink, cream, and chocolate brown pallet for my first girl. And, mint green, gold, and white felt right for the second girl’s room. The finishing touch for both rooms was a large, colorful wall mural. Now, I’m pretty crafty and artistic, but a big paint project in my pregnant state seemed a little daunting (and tiring). But, I got creative and found some options that worked for us. And it made a huge difference to the nursery decor.
Looking for a different way to welcome your baby boy or baby girl into the world? Opt for a nursery wall mural to create a magical room. From fun ocean creature illustrations to peaceful patterns, there’s a style for every home.
