Nursery Wallpaper and Wall Murals
The Complete Guide to Choosing Nursery Wallpaper
Creating the perfect nursery begins with choosing the right wallpaper. Whether you’re expecting a boy, a girl, or keeping it a surprise, nursery wallpaper can transform blank walls into a magical space where your little one will take their first steps and dream their first dreams.
At Wallmur, we understand that parents want more than just beautiful designs - they want safe, easy-to-install options that can grow with their child.
Safety is our top priority. All Wallmur nursery wallpapers are non-toxic, VOC-free, and phthalate-free, meeting safety standards for baby rooms. Our water-based peel and stick adhesive contains no harmful chemicals, making installation safe during pregnancy. All materials are rigorously tested to ensure they are safe for newborns and young children.
Unlike traditional wallpaper that requires paste and professional installation, our removable wallpaper can be applied in just 1 - 2 hours and removed cleanly when it’s time for a change.
Choosing the Right Colors and Patterns
When selecting colors for your nursery, consider their psychological impact on your baby. Ideal nursery colors include soft sage green, dusty pink, powder blue, and warm neutrals such as cream and beige. These calming tones can help create a soothing environment and support better sleep.
For gender-neutral nurseries, nature-inspired palettes with soft greens and warm whites work beautifully. They also provide a timeless backdrop that won’t need to be changed as your child grows.
Pattern selection matters too. For newborns aged 0-6 months, choose simple, high-contrast patterns, as babies can only see about 8 - 12 inches away and are naturally drawn to strong contrasts. As your baby grows, more detailed patterns featuring animals, nature scenes, or soft geometric shapes can become engaging without feeling overwhelming.
Popular choices include woodland creatures, clouds and stars, safari animals, and botanical prints. As your child transitions from infant to toddler, explore our kids wallpaper collection for age-appropriate designs that grow with them.
Nursery Wallpaper vs. Paint
Should you choose wallpaper or paint? Peel and stick nursery wallpaper offers clear advantages over paint: instant patterns without artistic skill, zero drying time, easy removal for renters, and damage-free updates as children grow.
Installation takes just 1 - 2 hours compared to a full day of painting, and the room can be used immediately afterward. Plus, wallpaper provides texture, pattern, and personality that paint simply cannot match.
Our nursery wallpaper is available in custom sizes, helping reduce waste and ensuring a perfect fit for any wall configuration. Simply measure your wall dimensions, and we’ll create panels cut precisely to your specifications. Most orders ship within 3 - 5 business days, with standard delivery taking an additional 5 - 7 days.
Popular Nursery Wallpaper Options
Gender-neutral nursery wallpaper remains one of our most requested categories. Popular options include woodland animals, soft botanical prints, clouds and stars, geometric patterns, and rainbow designs.
Neutral color palettes in cream, sage, soft gray, and warm beige work beautifully for any baby and offer timeless appeal that grows with your child.
For nature-inspired themes, our forest wallpaper collection offers calming woodland scenes that are perfect for creating a serene nursery environment.

Wallmur wallpaper comes in separate, numbered panels to make installation easier.
Before hanging the wallpaper, measure the width of the first panel. Then, draw a vertical guideline from the left side of the wall using that measurement. Next, apply the wallpaper starting from the top and align it with the guideline. Smooth it out gradually with a plastic smoother to remove air bubbles and ensure a clean finish.
