A Gender Neutral Nursery with Hand Painted Wall Art by Dad

We’re not sure who is going to be more surprised – this Seattle mom and dad when they find out the gender of their little one or their soon-to-be baby when baby sees her fabulously decorated nature themed nursery complete with dad’s artistic touch. Who do you think?

Mom tells weeDECOR, “We love the weeDECOR nature wall mural in bright green and yellow”.

As always, we were delighted that our wall decals helped mom and dad with their nursery decorating and are honored to share artistic wall space with dad. Want this look? Soon-to-be mom gave us lots of detail on how she and dad decorated their baby’s room to serve as inspiration for your own nursery design.

Since baby’s gender was going to be a surprise, mom and dad wanted to keep the room gender neutral, yet incorporate bright and bold colors for a clean, modern look. They purchased the “Alex” baby bedding set from Serena & Lily in white, lime green, and navy blue and coordinated with a navy glider from Best.

Mom & dad tell us they like the eclectic look and found their crib and changing table at a consignment store (They also like “keeping it green” by giving beautiful furniture a new life). They added a shearling rug under the changing table for added texture and a plush surface more pleasing to the feet. The white dresser is a simple and stylish piece from Ikea.

When it came to applying her wall decals, mom explained, “We have high ceilings in the baby’s room so we placed the tree “growing” out of the changing table and the birds soaring up the wall so baby has a lovely distraction during diaper time. We stuck the standing bird wall decals near the ground where play time will be as he or she grows. The owls in the mural are perfectly playful and cheerful – such a smart look for a babies’ room!”

To put the finishing touches on their nursery’s wall decor, dad hand painted the watermelon and carrot pop wall art for a unique look and in hopes of inspiring baby to share her parents’ love for food. We’re guessing that won’t be a problem

Thanks so much, mom and dad, for sharing your photos!

The Best Shades of Yellow Paint for Your Nursery Walls

"Moonlight" yellow paint by Benjamin Moore for Pottery Barn Kids. pale yellow no voc paint eco-friendly paint

"Moonlight" by Benjamin Moore for Pottery Barn Kids

"Hay is for Horses" Warm Yellow Paint by Mythic for Land of Nod

"Pale Daffodil" by Behr from Rate My Space-er "KasieMoffett"

The warmth of the summer sun has inspired us to pay homage to the color yellow. In our opinion, yellow’s beauty when painting a nursery comes from its versatility as a gender neutral shade that can stand alone or accent both cool or warm colors.

If you go warm, you can accent with pinks, oranges, and greens. If you choose a cool pale yellow, white, blues, and lavender accents are delightful options.

For your quintessential pale yellow paint, try Benjamin Moore’s pale yellow called “Moonlight”. See how beautiful this cool shade of yellow looks paired with other cool colors like this pale blue for Pottery Barn Kids? This yellow is the perfect shade for an accent and would also work as an accent for a lavender, pale green, or pale pink nursery.

For a warmer shade of yellow paint for your baby’s room, try Land of Nod’s Mythic line of paint. They have a lovely, warm shade of yellow called “Hay is for Horses”. It does a nice job evoking warmth with its buttery yellow accented with red, oranges, and hot pinks.

We also like Behr’s “Pale Daffodil” yellow paint shown here in this Rate My Space-er’s hot pink and yellow painted nursery. The bright pink adds warmth and the pale yellow paint tones down the pink. The ceiling and floor moldings painted in a decorator’s white add the classic detail we love.

For ideas on other shades of yellow, consider these:

Benjamin Moore
Ambiance
Filtered Sunlight
Philadelphia Cream
Little Angel
Hawthorne Yellow
Pale Straw
Yellow Freeze

Behr
Banana Split
Moon Dance

Sherwin Williams
Lively Yellow
Friendly Yellow

Our tree wall decal has been selling like gangbusters speaking to a popular trend in nursery decorating – large tree wall decor. In our opinion, there are many great reasons for this. First, nature is a versatile kid’s room decorating theme. There are so many ways to incorporate it into your design and still be unique, playful, and stylish – all the things we strive to be! Additionally, using nature in kid’s room décor is a reminder to all of us to leave this world to our children better than we found it. Finally, trees are a powerful visual motif that can communicate both elegance and prominence. When decorating your nursery, a large tree serves the practical purpose of giving you visual focus upon which you can design a beautiful nature themed baby room.

We like this whimsical tree wall mural painted by the father of RateMySpace user Injanis. She comes from a creative family which is obvious in the eye-catching uniqueness of her nursery décor. Her dad painted the whimsical tree wall mural and her mom made the decorative owl pillows. We love the handmade fabric birds attached to the painted tree to give the wall décor 3D perspective. The tree highlights the contemporary taupe, olive green, and brown Dwell baby bedding of animal themes and the clean lines of the modern crib. The large white tree mural helps pull this look together by providing a focal point for the room.

RateMySpace user, Rachel 2010, also went the hand painted tree route. She started with Valspar’s Lake Country light aqua paint and added a lighter, high gloss La Fonda Mirage (also by Valspar) to separate the existing antique white wall color on the ceiling. She painted the tree and made the pink birds from cut-outs of clip art and stuck them to the wall. Though you can’t see it in this photo, she also has a lovely floral mobile and personalized the room with painted letters on the wall.

If you are not as DIY inclined as these moms, don’t worry! You can get gorgeous looks like these without the work of painting. Our removable and repositionable classic tree wall decal can be customized to your liking. For example, we started with a large tree in mocha and added modern-colored blue and orange owls and birds as accents for the full nature effect. Beautiful! You can get a dark chocolate brown tree wall decal, creamy white tree wall decal, or mocha tree wall decal as shown here. And, our bird, owl, butterfly, ladybug, and flower wall decals come in a range of popular nursery colors. As always, your satisfaction is guaranteed.

Sweet & Unique Owl Wall Decor

Owl Wall Decals by weeDECOR

3D Handpainted Owl Wall Decor from Bei Tesori

Owl "Feltscape" from Etsy Seller Hiboucards

Paper Owl Wall Shelf Knick Kacks by Mibo Studio

If you are looking for unique owl themed wall décor for your baby nursery or kid’s room, you’ve come to the right place! Owls are a very popular element in kid’s room decorating these days so you have lots of options whether you want sweet and classic or modern and chic.

Of course we are partial to our owl wall decals which give you the flexibility to mix and match colors and styles without having to paint or nail holes in the wall. Choose from classic polka dot owls, boy, girl, or gender neutral owls in popular kids’ décor colors like pink, blue, lavender or our favorite – these soft aqua owl wall decals.

For a bit more dimension in your owl wall décor that wall decals don’t have, we like this pink winking 3D owl on a branch wall décor piece called “Brooke”. From Bei Tesori Boutique, this wooden owl wall hanging can come with a wooden peg for a more functional piece. Bei Tesori’s designs are custom cut and painted in their workshop and this piece comes ready to hang.

This framed 3D owl “feltscape”from Etsy seller HibouCards is also a cute way to get a 3d owl look. The felt is sewn to create this spring scene with trees, flowers, tall grass with a 3 dimensional caramel, camel, and tan felt owl is sitting at the edge of the frame amongst the tall grass.

And, for cute owl décor on a wall shelf we love these adorable paper owls. These paper owls are designed by Mibo, a UK design outlet that also has fabulous lamp shades, throw pillows, and wallpaper. Their paper owls are available via a downloadable/print-at-home-able kit (once you pay, you are sent a pdf file with four owl paper templates and instructions) and are a cheap and cheerful way to get very cute owl decor.

A Few of the Most Inspiring Blue Nurseries We've Ever Seen

Breakfast at Tiffany's Blue Themed Nursery

Breakfast at Tiffany's Blue Themed Baby Girl Nursery

Blue & Orange Boy's Modern Nursery with Large Tree Wall Decal

Blue Painted Striped Boy's Nursery with Monogram Wall Decal

We are always impressed when we find a clever spin on a traditional theme or color in kid’s room decorating. So, we wanted to share these three inspiring blue nurseries from Rate My Space moms that are sure to knock your socks off, too. These super creative moms turned what could be traditional blue nurseries upside down, making them anything but traditional.

This glamorous, vintage “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” blue nursery was designed by “mnm” for her baby girl named Audrey, of course . She painted the walls in “Sea Breeze” by Valspar (matched by Sherwin Williams). And, she got her oh-so-glam look with a lot of smart shopping at Target and Amazon including her black and white baby bedding and sumptuous, white shag rug. Mnm painted the wall letters herself to give Audrey an elegant personality of her own. In her other photos, you’ll see very cool black and white damask printed curtains and a damask lamp, a vintage chandelier wall decal over her glider, and a to-die-for mirrored nightstand to hold knick-knacks.

For a more modern blue nursery, we love what “Chemegal” did in her baby boy’s room using a soft blue, bright orange, and brown color palette. Her blue paint is that gorgeous “Robin’s Egg” from Benjamin Moore. She had her custom white and orange giraffe crib bedding custom made by an Etsy seamstress as well as the large brown tree wall decal behind the crib. We love how well the orange is used to accent the room as it brings warmth and visual punch. The blue and brown do their job nicely bringing a calming and cooling feel. We also like the not-as-common vertical positioning of her wall letters.

Finally, if you’re up for creative wall painting, this classy looking, blue striped painted nursery is a show-stopper. Mom-to-Be “Altortolero” painted 2 inch wide white stripes with alternating 10.5 inch wide light blue (Behr Twilight Grey) and dark blue stripes (Behr Skyline Steel) to get this look. We love how the painted stripes and two-toned wall paint make the baby’s room feel like a beautifully wrapped present with a monogram wall decal “bow” on top. We also appreciate the rich, espresso colored furniture that adds an even classier feel and the modern touches like the brown and white Dwell throw.

It’s a Jungle in There! Animal Themed Modern Wallpaper for Kids’ Rooms

Animal Themed Kids Wallpaper

Tree Themed Wallpaper for a Kids Room

Car Themed Wallpaper for a Kid's Room

Wallpaper for kids’ rooms has made a comeback in recent years as new generations of designers have improved upon both its functionality and its look. Now, you can find beautiful kids wallpaper with cool, modern designs and it’s much easier to apply.

FermLiving is one of those designers and has a line of modern, kid-themed wallpaper called WallSmart. WallSmart is a non-woven wallpaper designed for easier hanging. You apply the paste directly to the wall rather than working with a pre-pasted material. It is even washable to protect from sticky hands. Remember that in any wallpaper project, two sets of hands are a must!

We found some great themes for modern kid’s room decorating such as this animal themed wallpaper in bright green with elephants, giraffes, chickens, birds, and squirrels perfect for a playroom. This tree themed wallpaper in yellow, white, and brown called Dotty would be cute wall décor for a girl’s room or gender neutral nursery. We can envision it working well in a yellow nursery with touches of hot pink in a girl’s room or apple green in a boy’s room. Finally, this car themed wallpaper is fun and comes in dark aqua blue and white featuring cars and trucks of contemporary design and colors. It would be delightful in a modern boy’s nursery or a playroom.

Keep in mind that the vibrant prints in these and other wallpaper designs can overwhelm a room. Make sure you use bold printed wallpaper sparingly. For example, each of these patterns would look lovely on an accent wall. If not obvious, an accent wall is when you choose one wall in the room to highlight. It may be the wall behind the crib or the wall behind a large dresser.

Bold wallpaper prints also look nice above or below a chair rail. We like the idea of using these prints below the chair molding and then painting the upper half in bright, coordinating colors.

If you like these wallpaper designs, you can get matching throw pillows to complete your look.
