7 Nursery wallpaper trends we’re loving now!

Choosing the right nursery wallpaper is one of the most exciting parts of getting a baby’s room ready. Wallpaper can instantly set the mood – whether soft and calming, playful and whimsical, or a little bit of both. Since the nursery is where so many special moments begin, more parents are turning to wallpaper as their go-to design feature.

So, if you’re just starting to plan your baby’s room or thinking about updating an existing space, you’re in the right place. Below, we’ve rounded up seven nursery wallpaper trends that are shaping the look of baby rooms in 2025. From calming ombre fades to timeless patterns that grow with your child, these ideas are full of charm – and anything but expected.

1. Gender-neutral nursery wallpaper palettes

Soft greys, warm beiges, misty greens – neutral wallpapers are here to stay. Especially popular with parents skipping the gender reveal, these calm tones work beautifully from day one and grow along. We’re seeing a lot of interest in wallpaper designs that layer gentle textures or subtle patterns, creating a soothing background for cuddles those middle-of-the-night feedings.

2. Chinoiserie wallpapers

Who says elegance is only for grown-up rooms? Mural wallpapers with chinoiserie-style illustrations – think delicate branches, dreamy birds, and storybook-like landscapes. Chinoiserie style wallpaper always brings a sophisticated feel to the nursery. Soft blush tones and pastels keep things youthful, while the design itself can evolve with the room as your baby grows.

3. Monochrome moments

Monochromatic nursery wallpaper designs are having a moment! Tonal murals in shades like soft sage, dusty blue, or soft beige create a calming “cocoon” effect that’s perfect for sleep and snuggles. These wallpapers wrap the room in one continuous mood, making the space feel extra cozy without being too busy.

4. Neutral wallpapers with playful patterns

You don’t have to choose between calming and fun – there’s a sweet spot in between. Neutral-toned nursery wallpapers with hand-drawn animals, flowers without overwhelming the space. They’re easy on the eyes (for both baby and parents), and work well with colorful accents like bright storage bins or cheerful textiles.

5. Sustainable and safe choices

Eco-conscious parents, rejoice: wallpaper is joining the green movement. All of our wallpapers are printed to order with minimal waste. We use certified inks and non-woven paper that meet strict indoor air quality standards. Choosing wallpaper that’s kind to both the environment and your baby’s health is a simple way to make your nursery a safer, more thoughtful place.

6. Soft ombre walls

Ombre wallpapers are a gentle way to bring color into a nursery without overwhelming the space. The gradual fade – from sky blue to white, blush to cream, or soft sage to mist – creates a peaceful atmosphere that’s perfect for little ones. These gradient designs feel modern but soothing, and they pair beautifully with nursery furniture. Think of it as a sunrise or sunset on your baby’s wall – calm, cozy, and just the right amount of color.

7. Wallpapers that grow with your child

First, forget babyish prints you’ll want to replace in a year. Right now, the best nursery wallpapers are designed to grow with your child. Instead of bold themes that quickly feel outdated, look for styles that are sweet yet subtle. For example, nature-inspired murals, abstract forms, or soft botanicals are all great choices. As your baby grows and you eventually swap out the crib for a toddler bed – or add a small desk for drawing – the wallpaper remains just as charming, tying the room together beautifully.
