29 Beautiful Wallpaper Ideas For BOY’S Nurseries

------- NEW PODCAST -------

Maria started a new podcast about simple living, faith, decluttering, etc.

A crucial step in welcoming your bundle of joy is making sure they have a comfy space in your home.

Just because comfort and practicality are the priority when making a nursery doesn’t mean you should neglect the design.

Remember, our young ones benefit greatly from environments that stimulate them. So, we’ve collected 29 beautiful and effective wallpaper designs you can use to make a lovely nursery for your baby boy.

Jungle Themes With Fun Animal Prints

Starting with a fun design, we have a vibrant nursery with a rounded wooden crib and majestic giraffe wallpaper print.

Make sure you use cute and simple illustrations to keep your boy hooked and happy. A warm and earthy color palette will also make them feel extra comfortable in their environment.

The best thing is you can find designs of so many different animals and even incorporate more than one creature into the interior.

Space-Themed Nursery

Check out this out-of-this-world interior. A dark blue room, ideal for boys, contains a space-themed wallpaper on one side.

When it’s time for bed, it’ll be like they’re sleeping under the night sky. Most boys only dream about being astronauts and riding on spaceships, so this design can give them a glimpse of what that would be like!

I suggest adding glow-in-the-dark star stickers to really execute the space theme.

Festive Forest Designs

Blue and green are common colors when designing a boy’s room. A great way to use both is by getting forest-inspired wallpaper.

This design uses relaxing hues of both colors. So, it creates a calm environment with minimal distractions for your child. 

It would suit kids who are fussy when it comes to bedtime. I also love how the wooden crib plays into the nature theme.

Here’s a brighter version of the forest wallpaper with more green and yellow in the design. This baby room has a space-optimized green and yellow crib with storage to match the wallpaper.

The forest is home to many animals, so showcase that with this design. Your kid will have fun pointing out the friendly faces he will see.

Keep his animal friends close and surround the crib with a few stuffed toys. Your baby can play with them and use them for cushioning.

If you’re in the market for a simpler and more minimalist nursery, this forest design can help you achieve just that.

It uses a subdued wallpaper design and neutral colors to fill the space. While the room is dominantly gray, the muted greens add color without overpowering the space.

You can make this interior more fun when it’s playtime by placing all your son’s colorful toys and using vibrant mats. Then, when you tidy up, you’re back to the peaceful aesthetic.

Desert Blue Motif

This warm baby’s room uses an even warmer theme with a desert wallpaper design. The colors complement the orange hues of the woodwork and balance out the blue elements.

The wallpaper decorates the diaper changing area, which is a smart way to give your baby boy something to look at while he’s lying down.

I adore how the changing table also has drawers to keep your child’s changing needs easily accessible.

Checkered Blue Print

Nothing says boyhood like this classic checkered blue pattern. This nursery is subtle and understated, suitable for any growing boy.

The design uses youthful hues of color in a way that is easy on the eyes for both you and your child.

I really appreciate how light and airy the ambiance of this room is. The white storage goes so well with the color palette and adds to the spaciousness of the area.

Whimsical Hot Air Balloon Designs

Let your creativity soar with these whimsical hot-air balloon designs. This wallpaper is filled with colorful combinations and cute elephant illustrations.

Nowadays, a hot air balloon is a rare sight in the skies. So, it’s a nice little touch to give your kids a glimpse right on their bedroom wall. 

The woven light fixture is a clever way to mimic a hot air balloon, recreating the shape in a 3D space.

Here we have an eccentric hot air balloon design. This time, dinosaurs accompany the other animals and there are a few more trees to establish the environment.

This is great for kids who love adventure and animals. The design is also more packed with colors and shapes which can stimulate them even more.

I find that adding a mobile overhead with dinosaurs and animals would elevate this nursery further!

Small Beds With Pullout Storage

Still following a hot air balloon theme, we have a bedroom fit for two growing gentlemen. One neat feature is that the beds have pullout storage to help maintain a tidy space.

The layout of the beds maximizes the length and the corner of the room. Additionally, it allows for each of your boys to have their own space.

The giraffe carpet is such a quirky addition. Carpets with fun designs are sure to entice your kids.

Wavy Patterns

This breezy and refreshing nursery utilizes wave patterns in muted blues to keep things airy and relaxing for your little sailor.

Create a serene space for your baby boy with a design like this. The darker blue crib adds just the right amount of contrast and even has two large compartments for extra storage.

Since the shelves are directly over the crib, make sure they’re installed securely to avoid any mishaps.

Minimalist Designs

Now, let’s take a simpler approach. No loud patterns or colors here. This is a refined baby boy’s room with sophisticated blues and sufficient storage.

A design like this will help you and your child transition into a more mature environment when they get older. It’s best if you want to make their nursery their forever bedroom. 

You’d only have to swap out the crib for a larger bed and your kid can easily enjoy this space well into their teens.

To recreate another calming baby’s room, use subtle and soothing tones of blues and grays similar to this design.

Don’t forget to add a bit of character when using neutral and muted colors to liven up the area. Here, there are tinges of yellow in the wallpaper for little pops of color.

Since the bottom of the crib holds so much space, I suggest maximizing the area by storing containers and bins of your baby’s items underneath.

Play with fun and subtle patterns with this sophisticated and youthful nursery. It incorporates natural elements with its wallpaper and has an elegant checkered carpet.

One space-maximizing feature of this room is the built-in storage that goes into the wall instead of protruding out.

The design will help prevent things from getting knocked over so you can store a bunch of your child’s toys and items without worrying about them.

Opt for a minimalist white Nordic nursery with simple line design wallpaper for a safe baby room style option.

Being adventurous with design can be an expensive and daunting task. So, if you’d rather stick to a classic design that can’t go wrong, it’s best to stick to a simple and minimal theme.

Luckily, all-white interiors are bright and refreshing spaces. They can also accommodate almost any design style so you are free to make as many changes as you’d like.

An Elephant Enclosure

This nursery does not only have majestic elephant prints cascading its walls but it also follows a color scheme closely associated with the grand creature.

Your baby boy will find solitude in this monochromatic space. It’s great if your child gets overly stimulated or overwhelmed with colors.

Keep a few educational children’s books and toys to make sure this is still an engaging space for your toddler.

Jungle Room With Canopy

Make your little one feel like an explorer with this amazing jungle-themed nursery. It has a magnificent tree-filled wallpaper and a canopy over the crib for a tent effect.

Having a canopy is such a clever way to separate the space for your baby. It’ll eliminate the distractions when it’s bedtime and open up to a scene once the morning comes along.

I recommend getting creative with the canopy design as well. Also, consider a sheer option for when they want to stay in the crib while they’re awake.

Animals In Nature Wallpaper

This lovely baby room has an artistic touch with a beautifully illustrated wallpaper design. It displays magnificent creatures in their environment.

Your baby will learn to appreciate art and animals at such a young age with this kind of interior. 

It’s such a cozy and calming space and all of the elements match the theme excellently. I recommend adding a few more nature-inspired decorations to liven everything up.

This room also showcases a ton of friendly animals and plants. It uses a more scattered design which makes it seem like the creatures are exploring the space too!

The nursery uses more muted hues which can balance the wild design. Additionally, the color scheme can make it easier for your child to relax and fall asleep in their crib.

An animal mobile would be such a fun addition above the crib! Your baby will see the animals move against the nature-themed backdrop and they’ll be quite entertained.

Spice up a plain white wall with a vibrant nature design. This apartment nursery maximizes the small space by creating a larger environment with enough imagination.

The animals and greenery are eye-catching details that your little one will surely love.

I suggest getting wooden light fixtures and woven carpets to better complement this space. Give the animals a few more companions as well by adding some stuffed toys.

Jampacked Animal Design With Storage

With so many wonderful animals, it can be hard to just pick one–fortunately, you don’t have to! You can always choose to have a fun, colorful nursery filled with different species like this one.

Since a lot is going on with this wallpaper, you have to ensure that the room isn’t messy. Here, there are several storage units to keep things sorted and out of the way.

The gray crib and drawer are neutral to balance the abundance of colors but I believe white would go better with this design.

Dainty Green Nurseries

Keep things sweet and simple with an elegant, dainty, green design. This nursery also uses a classic style with a bronze vintage crib and a Victorian dollhouse to match.

The wicker embellishments complement the lush colors and complete this charming space. 

A few more Victorian dolls and playsets can elevate the look even more–all while being additional toys for your baby’s playtime!

This bedside crib fits perfectly into the space and blends with the interior of the room. The placement lets your baby wake up to just the right amount of sunlight.

What’s great about this green leaf-filled wallpaper is that the design can work for any kind of room. In this case, it surrounds one of the main bedrooms but can still serve as the backdrop for where your baby sleeps.

I recommend installing covers around the crib for when it gets too bright.

This room uses a similar leafy wallpaper but is more toned down with intricately spaced-out designs on vines.

If you want to preserve an antique vibe, especially if your home has been in the family for years, then getting wallpaper like this can help maintain that good old-timey feel.

It establishes elegance which can pull off the vintage look without darkening the area too much. As a bonus, your baby’s crib is placed in an aesthetically pleasing space.

Map With Traveling Animals

Instill a sense of adventure for your little explorer with this inspiring map wallpaper. It showcases a few furry friends who are on fun rides to trek the globe.

It’s a creative and engaging design. While you’re here, you can also take the opportunity to teach them about countries and geography.

To take it up a notch, you can also get a globe for your kid to play with and compare to the bigger picture up on the wall.

Tropical Toddler Room

Your child may not get to be out and about in the tropics all day but you can bring the experience home with this eccentric design.

This layout doesn’t overdo it by using elegant shades of multiple vibrant colors. Additionally, the wood and wicker elements make everything more outdoorsy but still charming.

I recommend topping the woven carpet with a soft cloth to make sure your baby won’t get any splinters or scratches while they crawl around.

Tropical forests are home to the most exquisite wildlife, most of which are birds. They are highlighted here with colorful graphics on the wall.

Give your baby boy a bohemian bedroom with a design like this. The warm canopy and draping light fixture add movement as well as function.

I believe a bird-themed mobile will do wonders for this baby room. It will establish the aesthetic and make the crib a more engaging space.

Let’s mix nature and innovation with this modern jungle nursery. It contains a loft-style crib and a vibrant plant and animal print wallpaper.

Elevating the crib is a smart way to create a separate space. Your child can sleep cozily on top and play around the bottom during their awake hours.

To play into the design and theme more, try putting a small hammock below. When your kid uses it they can imagine themselves swinging through the trees just like Tarzan!

Lastly, another tropical-themed nursery that leans more into a cool, subtle aesthetic than a warm and vibrant one.

It still maintains a fun and intriguing design like the rest of the nature and animal-themed nurseries. It even has a cute bear carpet to spread out the design more.

You can add a canopy with enchanting vine ornaments to immerse your baby in the fun aesthetic!
