1 | Create a Dreamy Wall Mural

DESIGN BY | JOANNALANDAISINTERIORS PHOTOGRAPHED BY | ANNASTATHAKIPHOTO

One of the best ways to completely transform a nursery is with a wall mural.  A forest mural with cute animals would be the perfect focal point for a woodland nursery theme.

Joanna Landais, a children’s interior designer from the UK designed this dreamy nursey and had this wall mural hand painted by an artist.  She layered in soft pastels, wooden details and fun touches like the deer stool that complement the mural perfectly.

If you’re not an artist read on I have an idea for you to re-create this look in your baby’s nursery.

Another way to achieve the same look is with wallpaper.  Check out my favorite below.

Tree wallpaper instantly transforms a nursery into a woodland dream land.  It would look amazing as an accent wall behind the crib.

Bri, a talented boy mom from Georgia created this stunning nursery for her son.  The forest wallpaper is the focal point of the room.  The soft neutral color scheme she chose blends seamlessness with natural feel of a woodland theme.
