Dario's Jungle Themed Blue Painted Baby Nursery

We just got this note from Ontario Canada mom of baby boy Dario. She tells weeDECOR: “I received my order last week and I wanted to let you know how happy we are with the decal we ordered. The image and quality is beautiful.  We are very happy that we found you. Thanks so much!!!! I will definitely recommend weeDECOR to my friends and family here in Canada.”

She also sent over a photo and it is oh-so-cute! Baby Dario’s monkey themed baby room is painted in Benjamin Moore’s “Little Boy Blue”. Her jungle themed crib bedding is from Babies R Us and is called “Jungle Tales”. Mom purchased our premium personalized monkey wall decal in our smiley type style to finish off the room and we, too, are so pleased with how it turned out.

Thanks, mom, for sharing the photo of your nursery and your weeDECOR wall decals with our readers! 

weeDECOR Personalized Sailboat Wall Decals

Sailboat Themed Blue Nursery with Pottery Barn Kids Chase Baby Bedding

Seeking sailing inspiration?  See how this Miami mom used our personalized sailboat wall decals to create a soothing and sweet sailboat nursery for baby boy Samuel.

She tells weeDECOR, “I wanted something peaceful and not so ‘charged’. My theme was blue and white with sailboats. As you see from the pictures, I chose your personalized sailboat wall decals which I loved. They give the room a more fun and childlike ambiance. Everyone that has seen the room loves the decals. I have recommended your decals to everyone!”

Such a lucky boy is Samuel to have such a gorgeous room and a mom with great decorating style! And, lucky for us and our readers, this mom was willing to share her decorating secrets. This “super mom in training” painted the walls while pregnant with an odor and toxic-free paint from Benjamin Moore. The paint called “Misty Blue” is from the Benjamin Moore Classic Colors collection #820.

She tells us the bedding, mobile, crib, changing station and dresser are all from Pottery Barn Kids. The blue baby bedding which includes bumper, fitted crib sheet and skirt is called “Chase” and can only be ordered online. She also purchased the coordinating mobile and the personalized sham and quilt.

The sumptuously blue rug in her nursery is from baby luxury retailer Rosenberry Rooms. The rug is called “Sailor Boy Rug – Deep Blue Sea” and it’s the 5.6 foot round.

She bought the shelf at IKEA as well as the big bed’s bedding and shams. Finally, she purchased the sailboat book holders at Marshall’s.

Thanks, Miami mom, for sharing your style with weeDECOR.

Custom Painted Safari Wall Mural from Rate My Space

Wooden Safari Wall Mural by BeetleBugs

Safari Wall Decals by weeDECOR

It’s a jungle out there! But, you can make your baby king of his own personal jungle with these “statement making” options for safari nursery wall decor.

For the creative minded mom, get inspiration from Sawyer’s Safari Nursery designed by Rate My Space Mom, Mila.  We love the muted browns and greens color palette which is not too hard to pull together with a trip to the paint store. The equally gorgeous canvases were painted by artist Jessica Rollins from Covington GA and the monkeys were painted by another local artist. Note how the monkeys are swinging from a bamboo rod serving the dual purpose of a curtain rod. So clever!

For a textured look, consider something like this hand-crafted and hand-painted wooden safari wall mural from Beetlebugs. Everything is made of wood and attaches to your wall. The mural is conveniently removable so if you move, you can take your murals with you. This Jungle Bungle Scene Set includes a giraffe, an elephant, a turtle, butterflies, clouds, bees, and lady bugs.

For an easy decorating solution that gives you a painted stenciled look, try weeDECOR’s exclusively designed safari wall decal mural with giraffes, lions, elephants, hippos, alligators, turtles, and palm tree wall decals. Create your safari theme with no messy paint! Our safari wall decals are of a matte finish that look like paint and the animals come in modern, rich dark brown and green.

Owl Themed Modern Nursery by Decorati Designers ColorTHEORY

Tree Ceiling Mural in a Modern Nursery by colorTHEORY

We can’t help but be awe struck by this bright and cheery modern owl themed nursery designed for a baby boy by Decorati and Boston-based interior designer colorTHEORY.

Starting with a contemporary color palette of cool light aqua blue and medium apple green down to the wooden owl wall hanging, this baby boy’s room screams “look at me”, yet also manages to exude calm. Brilliant!

Aside from the colors, some other highlights of the nursery include the reasonably-priced Dwell Studio owl baby bedding we talked about a few months ago, a contemporary white crib, a chic green side table, and what looks to be an Eames rocker.

colorTHEORY shows us that if you’re short on space in your baby’s room, you can get by without a dresser. Be creative with shelving and coordinating storage bins to get comparable functionality and fun bursts of color to boot.

But, the star of the show is the darling hand-painted tree ceiling mural with nighttime stars punctuated by a modern chandelier.  It adds the finishing touches to this serene owl themed baby room and the visual is so intricate, you may not even need a mobile to get your baby boy to sleep.

colorTHEORY is owned by, Brad Dufton and Benjamin Scott who pride themselves on recognizing the value of an aesthetically pleasing and well-maintained living space.

Car Themed Mirror Wall Mosaic by Blackbird Designs

Car Themed Wall Decals by weeDECOR

Car Themed Wall Canvas from Rosenberry Rooms

We think cars are such a fun boy’s room theme. The vibrancy of the colors, the excitement of motion, and the possibilities of where you might go make us giggle gleefully. And, we love themed wall décor because you don’t have to sacrifice decorating flexibility with the rest of your décor.

We’ve found a little zoom, zoom for you with this gorgeous car themed mosaic mirror from Blackbird Design Studio designed exclusively for online retailer What Every Baby Needs. It is a colorful stained glass mosaic surrounding a mirror handmade by a grandma of three. This mirror features blue, red, and green cars and trucks and the whimsical phrase “boys toys” written in mosaics. Since it is pretty heavy, take care not to use it anywhere above where your baby boy might be in the event that it falls.  We’d recommend hanging it above a dresser or bookcase.

For a lighter look, our wall decal mural is a great way to get that zoom zoom without the permanency of a painted wall mural or a wall hanging. This wall decal mural set comes with cars, a bus, a taxi, a cement truck, and fire truck along with road pieces and traffic signs to make the details of your car mural complete. Note that our wall decal colors were especially chosen to match those of popular décor brands and that these decals are removable and repositionable so you can use them again and again. You can arrange the car scene to your liking and use as a wall border along your wall. We guarantee little boy smiles!

Finally, if you are looking for wall art, we love the soft, muted colors and playful style of this car themed canvas reproduction called Gus the Car by Nancy B. Westfall. Sold by Rosenberry Rooms, this car themed wall hanging is a reproduction of the original artwork printed on a giclée canvas. This car giclée would be custom printed for you onto a canvas. It is then stretched wrapped gallery style onto wood stretchers. The canvas is stapled in the back for a professional look.

Pink & Green Garden Themed Nursery for a Baby Girl

Blue Nautical Themed Nursery for a Baby Boy

A Transportation Themed Boys Room with Planes & Trains

We all appreciate a little eye candy and nursery decorating is no exception. For your no calorie candy of the day, we encourage you to check out these designer nurseries from Jack and Jill Interiors. Jack and Jill Interiors is a design firm run by celebrity kid’s room interior designer Sherri Blum who has been featured in People and HGTV. Their design style runs traditional with an emphasis on customization that allows your child’s personality to shine through the décor of the room.

For example, this pretty baby girl’s garden themed nursery in green and pink incorporates a traditional soft green and pink color palette with both delicate and vibrant accents to bring liveliness to the room. We love the mint green wall paint and the butterfly accents on the walls and sheer curtain for that delicate touch. Yet, we appreciate how the bright and vibrant floral rug is brought in without overwhelming the room. That is the brilliance of a great interior designer! And, don’t miss Sherri’s own “Dream” garden wall art above the crib, part of her customized line of wall art.

This preppy nautical themed nursery is also adorable. The white wainscoting accented with pale blue wall paint gives this nursery its decadently rich and classic look. A classic-styled blue crib with soft curvature adds to the sense of serenity to the baby’s room. The crib even evokes the feeling of a boat sailing at sea. We particularly like the little seating nook Sherri created under a pleated pale blue window valence accented with a cute blue teddy bear and pale blue throw pillows.

Finally, we wanted to highlight this transportation themed boy’s room with planes and trains and a punchy stripe of orange paint in the middle of the wall. The personalized plane above the little boy’s bed and the train next to the window are painted wall murals. And, we can’t help but notice how perfectly the blue lamp shade matches the window treatments.

Jack and Jill Interiors provides complete design and decorating services for the nursery, bedroom, bathroom or playroom for children from the infant through teenage years anywhere you are located. They will help you with fabric and paint selection and with coordinating furniture and accessories. Don’t be shy about contacting them if you’re looking for a little bit of inspiration and help. Ms. Blum also has a line of nursery décor and nursery wall art.

Monkey Wall Decal for a Baby Boy Nursery from weeDECOR

Sail Boat Wall Decals for a Baby Boy Room from weeDECOR

Personalized Car Wall Decal from weeDECOR

For the next few posts, we wanted to tell you more about our personalized nursery wall decals starting with our boy names. This is one of our favorite categories because it is so fun to personalize our wall decals. And, you agree. Our boy name wall decals category is our most popular.

In fact, a Chicago mom just ordered our cute personalized owl wall decal in navy blue/pale blue. A San Mateo, CA mom just ordered the personalized monkey wall decal shown above.  And, Springfield, PA, mom decorated with our personalized car wall decal and just sent us a photo.

How cute is her son Zachary’s transportation themed room? She told us her 4 year old son was so excited when he saw his name on his toddler room wall. “Mommy, where did you get that?” he asked in awe.  That made us happy. Our Pennsylvania mom used a combination of two-toned wall paint of a burgundy red with a wall border of airplanes and then accented her son’s name with our car wall decals.  She chose our smiley wall letters to get that playful look.

To decorate your nursery with our baby boy name wall decals, choose from a selection of type styles and embellish your baby boy’s name with wall décor accents such as our personalized train wall decals, lion wall decals, boat wall decals, and modern polka dot wall decals. We also have a monogram wall decal accented with stars for a nautical, Americana, or space themed boy’s room.

You can see how easy our removable and repositionable wall decals are to use and how fabulous they can make your child’s room look.

Happy decorating!

Modern Blue & Orange Train Themed Boy's Bedding

Ryder Train Themed Rug for a Boy's Room from Pottery Barn Kids

Blue & Green Train Themed Wall Print for a Boy's Room

Sometimes themed kids’ rooms can be too…”themey” (is that a word?).  Too many conflicting colors and design patterns can make the room feel chaotic and messy – even that one time a month when it is actually clean.  So, how do you design a boy’s room with a whimsical choo choo train theme yet ensure his room doesn’t look like Disneyland?   

There are two ways. First, keep the color palette simple.  Second, incorporate your train theme in your accents (i.e. walls, rugs, lamps) rather than your more visible pieces like crib bedding, curtains, or glider upholstery.  

Let’s start with colors. Train themes are most often associated with boy’s rooms and blue. We recommend you stick with that.  To get a more modern feel, try blues with dusty grey or navy shades rather than pale baby blue. Use white as your primary contrast color and add a touch of red, green, or orange in your accents if you seek more color.

For wall paint, we like these two shades from Land of Nod – “Sky Blue Sky” for a lighter blue paint and “She Sells Sea Shells” for a darker blue.  Consider painting two toned walls with the lower half white and the upper half blue separated by a chair rail.  Then, use train wall stencils or train wall decals in white along the top of the rail on one wall.  This is a simple, yet stunning look that will feel both whimsical and cohesive to the room.

As we said, keep your bedding, curtains, and gliders simple in color.  Stick with solid color bedding in shades of blue, white, or even charcoal grey.  The exception is this boy’s train bedding set from Linenstore-UK which uses gorgeous shades of tonal blues, a pop of orange and tasteful train illustration. It’s fun and visually appealing.  If you do go with train themed bedding, go easy on the train themed decorative accents.

When it comes to accents, have a little more fun, but be judicious. Less is more when it comes to train themed baby room accents. We like this round, train rug from Pottery Barn Kids. The roundness of the rug adds softness to the room and the colored train traveling around is a nice burst of color for your otherwise blue and white room. And, this Kiddie Train wall print from Lynn Metcalf uses nice shades of blue and a whimsical design that is cute but not too busy.  This wall print is created using high-quality paper and printing but you can also get this printed on a canvas or wood mounted. Ms. Metcalf also designs other travel prints and posters for kid’s rooms like boats, planes, and cars should you want another theme.

Green Nursery with Nature Theme from Little Crown Interiors

Blue & White Nautical Themed Nursery from Little Crown Interiors

Pink Shabby Chic Baby Nursery from Little Crown Interiors

These stunningly designed nurseries by Little Crown Interiors are heaven for those seeking inspiring nursery décor ideas.  Little Crown Interiors’ luxurious, innovative, safe, and well-planned room designs for babies and children bring creative details and gorgeous color combinations providing decadent eye candy for interior design junkies. 

A few of our favorites are this nature themed baby nursery enveloped with soothing green wall paint and highlighted with nature themed accents like a tree wall mural and aqua blue elephant wall art.  The personalized wall letters and espresso colored crib from Young America by Stanley Furniture add that pop of color contrast we love.  Just looking at this baby nursery makes you want to curl up under the tree for a nap while the animals frolic around you.

We also like this colorful nautical nursery with two-toned painted walls in blue and white embellished with sea animals, boats, and starfish.  Ocean themed wall art, a rowboat wall shelf, and a starfish adorn the blue nursery walls.  A soft green glider and ottoman sit in the corner bringing warmth to the cool shades of blue.  And, the custom painted toy box of colorful fish screams “Look how cute I am!” in this nautical themed baby boy nursery.  We think the fish bookends on the nightstand are also a nice touch.

Finally, Little Crown Interiors designed this pink shabby chic nursery in a home with beautiful, historical architectural details.  We love how they used a combination of various pinks such as pale pink wall paint and accents of bright pink in the pink toile crib bedding and Oopsy Daisy wall art.  A white and pink chandelier hangs over the cozy nursery while custom painted wall letters and whimsical wall hangings bring personality to the baby room.

For more nursery eye candy, browse through Little Crown Interiors’ baby room portfolio online or see some of their nurseries in Susan Hillstrom’s book Design Ideas for Baby Rooms. 

Though based in Southern California, Little Crown Interiors happily offers design services nationwide.

Sailboat Baby Bedding for a Nautical Themed Nursery

Sailboat Baby Bedding in Light Blues, Aquas, & Whites

Personalized Sailboat Wall Decals for a Boy's Room

White Chambray Blue Sailboat Drawer Knobs

We love sailboats when decorating a little boy’s nursery because of their versatility and longevity.  You can use sailboats to create a nautical themed nursery that is hip and modern, classic and traditional, or vintage and antique.  Go all out with boat themed baby bedding, rugs, and window treatments.  Or, keep it simple with a few decorative accents like boat wall canvases or sailboat wall decals.

And, better yet, a nautical themed nursery is primed to be painted in beautiful blues – a color for which we have not been shy about expressing our preference as a primary decorating color for a baby’s room.

There are some great bedding choices out there like this “High Seas” sailboat crib bedding from Whistle and Wink.  Using hand quilting to create classic-looking, illustrated sailboats and a soft blue and white color palette, this soothing bedding set will send your baby boy happily to dreamland.

For much looser wallets, this “Set Sail” boat baby bedding from PoshTots is gorgeous. The bedding is made with 100% Swiss cotton seersucker featuring soft blue stripes in shades from light blue to navy incorporating a modern shade of aqua. The Seersucker is paired with pique in white that is embellished with boat themed embroidery. The blue and white alternating boats line the edge of the hem of the crib skirt.

If you would like a bit more versatility, try our sailboat wall decals which can be personalized with your baby’s name.  Use our boat wall decals to decorate above a changing table or another area of your baby nursery that needs a touch of detail.  They come in navy blue/pale blue, navy blue/white, and medium blue/white as shown above.  All would look lovely in a blue painted boy’s room.

Finally, these precious sailboat drawer knobs will add the finishing touches to your baby’s room.

A nautical theme can grow with your baby though the toddler years.  With regard to color, stick with light blues, whites, and yellows in the baby years for that cozy nursery feel.  Then, bring in some darker blues and reds to make the theme feel age appropriate for your tot a few years down the line.  You can also move into ocean themed décor by embellishing with fish and other under the sea creatures.
