Animal Nursery Decor

Having an animal-themed nursery decor can be a great way to make your child's room fun and exciting. Here are 7 ideas to help you create the perfect theme for your little one. 

1. Animal Themed Bedding for the Nursery

Choosing the right animal-themed bedding for a baby's nursery can be a fun and fulfilling experience. Not only does it set the stage for a beautiful room, it also serves as a functional area for the little one to sleep and play. It's a great opportunity for parents to indulge their own interests by including their favorite animal or group of animals and to create a personalized space for their new addition. There are many delightful animal prints for kids' bedding. Some are available as a set or you can pick and choose individual items to add your own touch. A few of them that are available on Amazon are listed below, but you can most likely find bedding in the themes of your specific chosen animal as well.

2. Animal Wall Decor For the Nursery

In addition to the bedding, another element that can really pull a room together is the artwork. Select art with the colors and animal theme that you wish to create in mind. Art for nurseries is frequently whimsical in nature. There are a few different choices here, such as removable wall murals, hanging pictures, or hanging plaques with quotes.

3. Animal Themed Lighting for the Nursery

Using the right lighting in your baby's nursery is important to creating a practical as well as relaxing element in the room, but lighting can be very decorative as well. Animal-themed lighting for the nursery can take several forms, such as overhead lights, lamps, plug-in night lights, and projection lights.

Lamps can complement your animal decor as well as provide needed light to the room. You can buy a whole lamp or update the shade of an existing one to an animal theme. The amount of light needed from the lamp will vary depending on whether you have an overhead light source as well, but choose one which accommodates the wattage of the bulb that you need. A low-light option that is particularly good for nighttime and is perhaps more soothing for a baby is an animal-themed night light, which can be the plug-in type or the type that sits on a table. Some of these have auto-sensing capabilities for turning on when low light conditions are detected, and some have a switch. Projection lights are also low-light options that come in decorative animal themes as well. And finally, the other lighting decor option for overhead lights attached to ceiling fans is animal-themed fan pulls that come in different animal themes as well. Below are several lighting options. Choose one of these or use them as ideas for your own search for creative options

7. Stuffed Animals as Nursery Decor

A well-chosen stuffed animal can be a great addition to nursery decor. Match the stuffed animals with animals depicted on bedding, wall treatments, or lighting to pull together the room by placing a stuffed animal on a shelf or on furniture. When the baby is old enough, the stuffed animal can also serve as a treasured toy.
