1. Embrace Soft Neutrals for a Modern Nursery
Neutrals always feel timeless and soothing. They also give you flexibility to switch up décor as your baby grows.
This lovely space by @bykristinalynne uses a minimalist alphabet Posterjack Framed Print above the change station. Soft peach accents and simple shelves create a clean and stylish look that still feels warm and welcoming.
Decor tip: Stick to a limited palette—like warm beige and white—to keep the room calm while letting the art shine.
2. Go Big With a Statement Animal Print
Animal art is a classic choice for nurseries, but oversized pieces take it to the next level.
In this rustic-modern nursery by @dailyykalee, the Highland cow Posterjack Canvas Print adds striking contrast to the natural wood backdrop. It creates a focal point that anchors the crib below it.
Decor tip: Hang a large piece of nursery wall decor above the crib to visually define the space without adding clutter.
3. Add a Personal Touch With Newborn Portrait Prints
Your baby is the art. Celebrate those tiny features and first memories.
@doeinthemeadow displays a beautiful newborn photograph on a dresser surrounded by blush nursery décor. It creates a meaningful moment you see every day.
Decor tip: If you’re unsure about final wall placement, prop your print to start—then mount later when the room layout is set.
4. Create a Woodland-Themed Gallery Wall
Woodland animals are popular for a reason—they’re adorable and gender-neutral.
This gallery wall is featuring multiple Posterjack Framed Prints with Etsy digital downloads.
Decor tip: Mix digital downloads with personal photos to build a curated, unique collection.
5. Mix Photography and Hand-Drawn Art
A blend of artistic styles adds texture and personality.
@helenmcmillan_oureveryday uses Posterjack Barnwood Frames to showcase a newborn portrait in the centre, flanked by two sketched animals. It’s heartfelt, balanced, and stylish.
Decor tip: Choose one main feature print and support it with smaller complementary pieces.
6. Keep It Soft and Sweet Above the Crib
A single, beautifully framed moment can say it all.
@jandhercrew displays a 14x18 Posterjack Loft Frame with a black-and-white family portrait above soft floral wall accents.
Decor tip: Black & white photography works with any nursery style—it’s timeless décor.
7. Make the Change Table Wall Cute and Fun
This little zone deserves love too.
@langstonnatalie keeps the change table area playful and charming with framed bunny prints that match the room’s happy mood.
8. Feature a Single Adorable Animal Print
Sometimes one piece is all you need.
Another space by @langstonnatalie, this time focusing on a baby bear sketch in a Posterjack Frame. Monochromatic art feels soft and soothing.
9. Display the Very First Photo: Ultrasound Prints
Sentimental pieces always feel right in a nursery.
This small ultrasound print by @langstonnatalie in a Posterjack Barnwood Frame sits beautifully among baby necessities and keepsakes.
10. Add Some Prehistoric Fun
Perfect for little explorers.
@livingbycami uses a Posterjack Poster Print to introduce a dinosaur theme—colourful and spirited without overpowering the room.
11. Use Artwork That Encourages Imagination
Whimsical illustrations add a dreamy quality.
This watercolour mushroom artwork by @melissamaryjenkinsart brings nature indoors in a gentle, artistic way.
12. Showcase Your Family Story
Family photo collections make the nursery feel complete.
@miaparresdesign chose Natural Wood Framed Prints of their favourite family moments, grouped above the dresser.
13. Display Keepsakes Like Photo Books Proudly
When all the memories deserve to be printed.
Here, @miaparresdesign flips through a Layflat Photo Book filled with baby milestones. It’s decor and a cherished piece to revisit.
14. Cute Baby Animals Always Work
Baby animals bring joy wherever they land.
@rhaeaestelle adds a set of charming animal prints above the crib—classic and cheerful.
15. Let Natural Wood Grain Be Part of the Art
Wood Prints add texture and warmth.
These zoo-themed Posterjack Wood Prints by @rpons9 show the natural wood through the image for an organic, playful effect.
16. Try Abstract Art in Soft Earth Tones
For a calm, modern nursery aesthetic.
@spaces.collective pairs a minimalist rainbow print with neutral tones for a soothing space that will grow well with baby.
17. Ocean-Inspired Serenity
Most nursery wall decor leans toward whimsical animals or soft illustrations, but this space proves how stunning modern art can be in a baby’s room. The ocean landscape printed on acrylic creates a calming, elevated focal point that ties together the soft blues in the photo with the patterned rug below. Acrylic Prints are a great option for nurseries that blend modern style with warmth — they’re sleek, easy to clean, and beautifully reflective.
