Whimsical and sophisticated wallpapers and decals for a stylish nursery that are beautiful and easy to use (and remove!).
Waiting for baby’s arrival is a special time for expectant parents. And while nine months may be a long time to wait, it’s just enough time to get the nursery ready for baby. While decking your nursery out in new furniture necessities like a crib and change table are practical considerations, adding decorative elements like wallpaper is just as important for personalizing the space that you and your newborn will spend (lots of) time in. If you’re thinking about wallpaper, here are some options to consider. And if wallpaper is too much of a commitment, we’ve included some removable options and decals as well!

Baby Elephant Walk Wallpaper
Animal-patterned wallpaper is a super popular choice for a baby’s room but if a vibrant jungle scene just isn’t your style, try something subtler, verging on abstract, that will appeal to parents and baby alike. This baby elephant paper is ideal for a nursery but in a palette of soft grey and white, it channels a more sophisticated vibe. Baby Elephant Walk Wallpaper, Burke Decor, $170.
