Nursery Wallpaper: Whimsical Worlds Nurturing Little Imaginations

When it comes to designing a nursery, we always say: don’t just decorate, tell a story. Your baby’s room is more than a place to sleep; it’s a space where memories begin, where lullabies echo, and where their imagination starts to bloom. Every detail matters, but nothing transforms a nursery quite like wallpaper.

The right wallpaper brings warmth, wonder, and a sense of personality that paint just can’t replicate. It turns four walls into a cozy sanctuary and gives your child a nostalgic backdrop to grow up with. Whether you’re drawn to soft florals, woodland creatures, or celestial touches, these wallpapers were made to enchant.

With easy-to-use peel-and-stick options, you don’t need a whole design team to pull it off, just a Saturday morning and a vision to make your child's environment cozy and playful. Here are five of our favorite nursery wallpapers that turn any space into something straight from a fairytale (or at least your Pinterest board).

Amaia Wallpaper

Amaia is delicate, airy, and absolutely dreamy. Soft pastels swirl together in an abstract floral design that feels both fresh and timeless. It’s perfect for mamas who want a nursery that’s elevated but still whisper-soft. Pair it with blush linens, light wood furniture, and golden accents for a space that’s elegant without being overdone.

Hannah Wallpaper
Hannah Wallpaper - Painted Paper
If you’re going for grace and simplicity, Hannah’s your girl. This symmetrical floral pattern in white on a soft gray background brings calm and quiet sophistication to any nursery. It’s subtle, soothing, and just structured enough to feel refined. I especially love this wallpaper behind a crib with clean lines and layered neutrals.

Sunset Poppies Wallpaper
Sunset Poppies Wallpaper - Painted Paper
Sunset Poppies is pure sunshine. With rich orange blooms painted in soft watercolor strokes, this wallpaper brings a burst of joy into your baby’s space. It’s lively yet peaceful like golden hour in a flower field. Ideal for moms who want to break the pastel mold while still keeping things sweet and intentional.

Stella Charme Wallpaper
Stella Charme Wallpaper - Painted Paper
Stella Charme feels like a lullaby on your walls. Tiny, hand-drawn stars shimmer across an ivory backdrop, giving the whole room a soft, celestial glow. It’s neutral, timeless, and full of gentle magic. Whether you’re dreaming up a moon-and-stars theme or just want a quiet space to snuggle in, Stella delivers that sense of wonder we all hope to pass on.

Hazel and Thumper Wallpaper
Hazel and Thumper - Painted Paper
This one is pure storybook charm. Hazel and Thumper features cuddly bunnies nestled among pale blue blossoms, all rendered in the softest watercolor tones. It’s playful, yes, but still so refined. I love this for a little one’s room or a cozy corner for bedtime books and baby giggles. It’s the perfect blend of country sweetness and sophisticated design.
