How To create A Nursery Feature Wall

When you think feature wall, chances are that a nursery wall with an animal mural is the first thing that comes to mind. However, there’s more to nursery decorating than just animals! There are many ways in which you can create a focal point for your baby’s nursery and turn it into something truly special.

In this article, we are going to show you how to create a nursery accent wall in six simple steps.

To get started with your nursery decorating project, read this inspired article for ideas and then follow the steps to create your dream nursery accent wall.

What Is The Purpose Of An Accent Wall?

An accent wall is a great way to add visual interest and style to your whole room. You can use it as an eye-catching backdrop for your cot, changing table, or baby toys and accessories.

A nursery accent wall is also an opportunity to inject character and personality into your house. You can use creative ideas to design something unique that you will cherish forever!

SHOULD AN ACCENT WALL BE DARKER OR LIGHTER?

If your nursery has lots of natural light then an accent wall with darker tones will bring the color scheme together beautifully. On the other hand, if there isn’t much sunshine in your nursery, choose lighter colors for your focal point as this will create more impact!

WHAT COLOR CRIB GOES WELL WITH A DARK ACCENT WALL?

A dark or warm nursery accent wall looks great with just about any color crib. The white cot has to be one of the most popular colors and they are a great option to furnish your nursery room.

White cribs contrast well with feature walls and make the entire room look clean and fresh!

PLANNING YOUR DIY FEATURE WALL:

Before you begin your project you’ll need to do some research and planning. This should leave you inspired with ideas to help you choose the right theme, colors, and style for your perfect nursery.

STEP ONE: CHOOSE A NURSERY THEME

There are so many nursery themes and wall ideas to choose from and you can get plenty of inspiration online from Pinterest and this site.

NURSERY WALLPAPER THEMES

NURSERY ACCENT WALL IDEAS:

Here are a few wall ideas for your nursery. Which theme will you choose and how will you decorate your infant’s bedroom? What pattern will you choose? Do you like these wall ideas?

  • Safari theme
  • Woodland theme
  • Nautical theme
  • Seaside theme
  • Boho theme
  • Vintage theme
  • Princess theme
  • Dinosaur theme

TIPS FOR CHOOSING A NURSERY ROOM THEME

When choosing a theme think about the interests you’d like your child to have. If you’re having a baby boy you might want a dinosaur or explorer theme. A girl’s space could be decorated in pink or have pretty flowers or rainbows.

You can opt for a gender-neutral background or choose an accent wall theme that can change or transition as your baby moves through the ages and stages.

STEP TWO: CHOOSE YOUR WALL

The next step is to select your wall and prepare it for painting or wallpapering.

WHAT ARE THE RULES FOR ACCENT WALLS?

There are no rules set in stone for a nursery accent wall. However, here are some tips.

  1. Avoid an accent wall with a window.
  2. Choose a wall that is not too difficult to improve and accessorize with nursery decor.
  3. Consider switches, radiators or heaters, doorways, and skirting boards when planning your nursery accent wall.

STEP THREE: PAINT YOUR NURSERY WALL OR ADD WALLPAPER

The next step is to prepare your wall ready to paint or decorate.

  • Prepare the wall. Make sure you spackle and sand the wall before painting. Allow this to dry once painted.
  • Paint The Nursery Wall. Paint in a color of your choice.
  • Or add beauty to your room with a nursery mural or wallpaper.

You may opt for wallpaper murals or choose a more subtle wallpaper. Paste your wallpaper to the accent wall or apply your self-adhesive wallpaper to the accent wall.

STEP FOUR: ADD NURSERY DECALS OR NURSERY WALL STICKERS

Once painted you can visit a store or go online to shop for nursery decals or nursery wall stickers. This will add the finishing touches and make your accent wall stand out!

ARE NURSERY DECALS SAFE FOR THE BABY’S NURSERY ROOM FEATURE WALL?

Yes, a nursery decal is perfectly fine to use. Just make sure it’s non-toxic and made of the best quality material possible.

CAN NURSERY DECALS BE REMOVED EASILY?

Nursery decals are great because they can be removed without causing any damage if you decide to change your nursery theme at a later date.

Whether it’s nursery wall stickers or decals, these final touches will help bring your baby nursery to life!

CUSTOM NURSERY WALL STICKERS AND DECALS

If nursery decals and nursery wall stickers don’t quite cut it, you might want to consider custom nursery room art or stencils. This way your nursery feature wall will be unique for the little one’s bedroom!

WHAT COLORS AND STYLES SHOULD I USE?

One of the best things about nursery art is that there are no limits to what you can do. You might decide on nursery wall stickers that feature a particular animal or nursery decals with an adorable character!

Whatever the theme, choose nursery room art that fits in perfectly. For example, if the baby’s nursery is themed around fairies then search for some beautiful fairy mural stickers.

STEP FIVE: CHOOSE YOUR NURSERY DECOR AND FURNISHINGS

Now that your accent wall is complete, it’s time to add the finishing touches. Ideas could include soft furnishings like curtains and bedding or other decor accents such as lamps, shelves, or a chair.

Choose whatever you think would look best in the space you have!

STEP SIX: ADD FINISHING TOUCHES TO YOUR FEATURE WALL

The final step will be to personalize your baby’s nursery. Add pictures, toys, and other decor pieces to complement the pattern or theme.

Once you have added the final touches your baby’s nursery will be complete!

I hope this article is super helpful. Creating a nursery accent wall can be exciting and you can feel proud knowing it will be loved for years to come.
