Nursery Wall Decor
Safe, Beautiful Art for Baby's First Room
Creating a considered Nursery with Wall Art
A nursery is a space of wonder — baby's first environment, where they'll spend thousands of hours sleeping, playing, and discovering the world. The wall art you choose sets a tone of calm, warmth, and imagination. At Olive et Oriel, we've helped Australian families create considered nurseries since 2015, offering prints that are as safe as they are considered.
The best nursery wall art ideas lean toward soft palettes, gentle subjects, and pieces that will age gracefully. Think delicate botanicals, softly illustrated animals, nature-inspired watercolours, and typography prints with uplifting messages. All our prints are made at our two facilities and shipped next business day.
Nursery Colour Palettes and Compatible Art
Soft neutrals — creams, warm whites, sage greens, dusty pinks — create a calming environment for sleep and work beautifully with timber furniture and natural textures. Our art prints in soft botanical tones are among our most popular nursery choices. For a contemporary nursery, try pale blue or terracotta accents — warm tones that feel modern without being cold. Browse our framed art for a polished nursery look.
The Most Popular Nursery Wall Art Themes
Animals are universally loved by babies and toddlers. Our soft animal portraits and wildlife illustrations work beautifully in gender-neutral nurseries. Botanical and floral themes are equally popular. Our matching print sets make gallery walls relaxed. For hanging tips, see our how to hang pictures guide. Large walls? See our extra large art.

Frequently Asked Questions
What nursery wall art ideas are most popular?
Soft botanical prints, animal illustrations, and gentle watercolour landscapes are consistently the most popular nursery wall art choices. Neutral palettes with sage green, warm cream, and dusty rose work across all styles from boho to Scandi.
Is canvas art safe for a nursery?
Yes — Olive et Oriel canvas prints use non-toxic archival inks and have no sharp edges. All our canvases are gallery-wrapped and produced at our own facilities under strict quality control.
How high should I hang art in a nursery?
Hang art at least 48 cm above the top of the crib for safety. For decorative nursery wall art, eye level for adults (approximately 145cm to the centre) is a good starting point.
What size art works best in a nursery?
A3 and A2 prints are ideal for above a crib or in smaller nurseries. For a feature wall, consider A1 or extra large prints. Matching sets of two or three prints create a considered gallery wall effect.
Can I get the same print in different sizes for a nursery gallery wall?
Yes — most Olive et Oriel prints are available in multiple sizes. Mix an A2 hero piece with A3 or A4 companions for a tiered gallery wall effect.
