How to Choose the Perfect Theme

With an endless array of creative themes and classic nursery decor ideas, it can feel tricky to decide which theme is right for your sweet pea. Here are some factors you’ll want to consider to help you find the perfect fit for her nursery design:


  • Considering room size and layout – Considering the size and layout of your baby’s room can help you select the perfect theme. For example, larger spaces can accommodate bolder, more elaborate themes, while smaller rooms may benefit from lighter, airier palettes.


  • Matching with home decor – Coordinating your nursery theme with the existing decor in your home makes it easy to create a cohesive and harmonious look. If your living room features a neutral, minimalist aesthetic, a floral or botanical theme may complement your space.


  • Exploring budget-friendly options – Embracing budget-friendly DIY projects, thrifting decor, and reusing versatile, multi-purpose furniture are all ways to save when creating a stunning space for your little one. You can scour second-hand stores for unique pieces, and use inexpensive wall decals or peel-and-stick wallpaper to transform the room.


No matter what theme you choose, a nursery should be a magical, whimsical space that reflects the unique personalities of you and your little one. If you’re looking for something less specific, discover our favorite gender-neutral nursery themes.

Theme-Specific Nursery Decor Ideas

Nothing puts the finishing touch on a theme quite like carefully selected pieces of decor, so here are some options to explore for your little angel’s room:


  • Wall art and murals – Elevate your nursery theme with captivating wall art and murals. For a floral-inspired space, consider a whimsical botanical mural; princess-themed nurseries shine with shimmering gold accents and enchanting fairy tale illustrations.


  • Bedding and curtains – Soft, plush textiles are the foundation of any cozy nursery. Embrace your theme through the crib bedding and curtains, selecting patterns, colors, and materials that complement the overall aesthetic.


  • Furniture and accessories – You can complete your nursery theme with carefully curated furniture pieces and accessories. Floral and botanical spaces thrive with natural wood tones, while vintage and retro themes come alive with mid-century modern silhouettes and antique-inspired lamps.


Aside from the visual appeal of the nursery essentials you choose, it's important to prioritize the health and safety of your little one when designing your nursery.


Choose from thoughtfully designed baby essentials, such as convertible one-pieces and adorable baby rompers , crafted from our signature viscose from bamboo .
