Flowering Nursery Wall Decor

You can incorporate the floral theme through crib bedding, curtains and cushions. Try to have them match the overall color scheme of the room and you’ll be good to go!


You can also get creative and fill your child's room with DIY floral projects, such as paper flower crafts, pressed flowers in shadow boxes or personalized name signs decorated with flowers. You could also choose storage containers with floral designs.


Keep in mind that all these accessories should complement comfortable and high quality furniture. In Nurture&’s Seating Collection you’ll find gliders, rockers, and dressers in different sizes and colors, so you can choose whichever better matches your project nursery.

Neutral Floral Nursery

Although flowers can sometimes be associated with the idea of a baby girl, you can definitely use florals as a gender neutral theme.


You could use greens and yellows as the main colors, adding a soft and bright feeling to your baby’s room. Another great way to use this theme is adding a rocking chair with a floral cushion or a rug with a flowery pattern to add a special touch to your nursery.

Pastel Blossom

Pastel shades are traditional in a baby's room, and they’re great to match a soft floral theme. You could choose a pastel wallpaper or carpet with a flower design, or look for a pastel crib skirt to add a whimsy look to the nursery. Pastel colors can dress up the room with a floral look that will grow with your little one.

Wildflower Nursery

Natural looks always stand out, and wildflowers might just be the way to go if you’re looking for a bright and colorful nursery. You could match a wildflower wall with a bright colored chandelier, and some greenery, to create an outstanding vibe.


Choosing furniture made of natural materials can further enhance this theme. Just like the pieces in Nurture&’s Crib Collection , which are made from natural, sustainably sourced and non-toxic materials, and are made to join your little one as they grow up.

Boho Floral Nurseries

The boho nursery theme has become very popular recently, and it’s perfect to use floral decorations. A floral rug, some greenery, and wooden-colored items can add a stylish look to your little one’s space.

Floral Prints

Incorporating floral prints into your baby’s nursery can add a soft, natural touch while maintaining the serene aesthetic of beige and pastel tones. You can incorporate framed floral prints or watercolor paintings of flowers, and use them as nursery art to add a singular touch to the room.

Baby Girl Nursery

Designing a baby girl’s nursery focusing on flowers is a lovely way to create a delicate, cozy, and feminine environment.


You can choose bold and darker colors for a boho look, or a palette in pastel shades such as powder pink, soft lavender, light beige, and hints of sage green for a softer atmosphere. Either way, flowers can add the finishing touch your baby girl’s room needs.

Crib bedding

A flowered crib bedding set design can help you unify a cozy, delicate, and harmonious environment. Choose fabrics like organic cotton or linen, which are not only soft on baby's skin, but also complement a natural theme.


Nurture&’s Accessories Collection includes a crib sheet set made with soft and breathable fabrics in different patterns and colors, so you can choose the one that better fits your nursery aesthetic.

Pops of Color

Flowers and floral decorations are a great way to add a pop of color to a baby nursery, bringing vitality and joy to the space without losing the balance and serenity you’re looking for.


You can add flowers in vibrant shades , such as fuchsia pink, sunflower yellow, turquoise blue, or deep lavender that can stand out against a neutral background wall (white, beige, or light gray). Or you can use white flowers to contrast a darker background.

Floral Wall Decals

Floral wall decals or wall stickers are a simple and versatile way to add charm and personalization to the space. These decals can be removable, allowing you to update the decor as the baby grows.


You can opt for large flower decals, such as peonies, lilies or roses, in soft shades such as powder pink, lavender, cream, or mint green. Make sure to choose decals that fit the aesthetic you’re looking for.
