1. Minimalist Geometric
This soft geometric design is perfect for those who want a clean, modern look with just enough pattern to keep things interesting.
The design features a repeating diamond motif in a subtle chalky white against a pale powder blue background.
The shapes are slightly softened, giving the pattern a relaxed, hand-printed feel—nothing too sharp or high-contrast, making it ideal for a calm nursery atmosphere.
The palette is muted and airy, built around soft blues and off-whites that feel right at home in a Scandinavian-inspired space.
It’s gender neutral in the truest sense—classic and understated, without leaning overly cute or traditionally styled.
This wallpaper would pair beautifully with light wood or white nursery furniture, natural fiber rugs, and plenty of cozy textures like cotton muslin or wool knits. Add in a few touches of tan, ivory, or pale grey in the textiles or wall art to carry the softness throughout the space. A mobile made of wood or felt shapes would also work perfectly with the geometric theme without overpowering the room.
Because the design is so versatile and not baby-specific, it can easily transition into a toddler’s room or even a shared sibling space down the road.
It brings subtle structure to the walls while leaving plenty of room for your furniture, artwork, and personal touches to shine.
2. Neutral Coastal Pups
If you're dreaming of a nursery with a breezy, beach-inspired feel, Neutral Coastal Pups might be just the thing.
This charming wallpaper features playful puppies scattered across a soft beige and cream striped background.
Some are sitting, some are sniffing, and others are playing near simple beach motifs like sailboats, buoys, and ocean waves—each drawn with gentle line-work and a warm, hand-rendered style.
The background stripe adds a bit of structure and classic appeal, giving the design a slight nod to traditional ticking stripes, but with a fun coastal twist.
The palette is comfortably neutral—think warm sand, driftwood beige, soft white, and a few brown line accents. It’s calm and understated, with a touch of whimsy for a cozy, creative nursery space without being over-the-top.
This wallpaper is especially well-suited to spaces with a light, nautical influence or a relaxed cottage vibe.
Pair it with whitewashed or natural wood cribs and dressers, light tan or ivory textiles, and maybe even a few sailor-knot details or rattan accessories.
It would also look beautiful alongside pale blues, seafoam green, or muted navy accents for a more defined coastal theme.
Despite the seaside undertones, it doesn’t feel overly “themed,” which makes it easy to adapt as your baby grows.
Whether you're furnishing a space with vintage finds or leaning into a modern, minimal aesthetic, Neutral Coastal Pups brings just enough personality to make your nursery feel sweet, inviting, and totally unique.
3. Timeless Argyle
Timeless Argyle brings a fresh spin to a classic pattern, making it a standout choice for a nursery that blends tradition with a sense of style.
The design features a clean diamond layout in soft blue, beige, and ivory—a familiar argyle pattern that feels preppy but not overly formal.
It’s structured, balanced, and full of quiet charm.
This wallpaper is an excellent choice if you’re after something that feels both polished and playful.
The blue is a soft slate tone—not too bright or saturated—while the beige and ivory keep the palette feeling grounded and neutral. Together, the colours create a look that’s calm and classic, perfect for creating a peaceful environment in a baby’s room.
One of the strengths of this pattern is its flexibility.
It can lean more traditional when styled with dark wood furniture, tailored curtains, and vintage details. Or it can feel light and airy when paired with white furniture, cozy knit throws, and soft textures like boucle or linen.
For something more modern, consider adding touches of matte black hardware, camel leather accents, or warm brass lighting.
Because argyle is such a recognizable motif, it brings a sense of order and visual interest to the walls without overwhelming the space.
It's a great choice for anyone who wants something more tailored than a novelty print, but still kid-friendly and approachable. And since it doesn’t scream “nursery,” it can easily grow with your child through the toddler years and beyond, or even transition into completely new spaces - like a home office or guest room.
4. Playful Dog Park Toile
Playful Dog Park Toile is a sweet and slightly nostalgic wallpaper that blends the charm of traditional toile patterns with the whimsy of dogs at play.
Instead of the pastoral scenes found in classic French toile, this version features loosely sketched pups wandering through park-like landscapes.
You’ll spot dogs lounging in the grass, relaxing near leafy trees, and watching their feather friends.
A gentle design finished in a soft sage-green line art on a warm ivory background.
The design is delicate and detailed but not overly busy, offering just the right amount of visual interest without competing with the rest of your nursery decor.
The colour palette leans neutral and earthy—muted greens and off-whites that work beautifully with a range of natural materials.
This pattern is a great fit for nurseries with a soft, vintage vibe or a quiet storybook aesthetic.
It pairs especially well with warm wood tones, rattan or cane furniture, and gentle, organic textures like linen, cotton muslin, and wool. Layer in touches of sage, cream, and soft tan in the bedding or curtains to echo the print without overwhelming the space.
One of the nice things about this wallpaper is its subtlety.
From a distance, it reads almost like a soft texture or sketch—but up close, it reveals thoughtful details and sweet vignettes that invite curiosity.
It’s sophisticated enough for a space that’s meant to grow with your child, yet still captures the lighthearted joy of a puppy-filled park.
Whether you’re designing a nursery for a future dog lover or just looking for something serene and sweet, Playful Dog Park Toile is a timeless, feel-good choice.
5. Checkered Pinstripe
Checkered Pinstripe is a subtle, textural pattern that feels cozy and grounded, perfect for adding warmth to a gender-neutral nursery without leaning too rustic or too formal.
The design features a muted olive-taupe background with narrow vertical pinstripes intersected by blocks of mini checkered detailing.
It’s an understated pattern that feels tailored and intentional, with a handwoven, almost linen-like effect.
The colour palette here is all about earthy calm.
Olive-grey, soft taupe, and creamy beige come together in a way that feels both classic and modern.
The tones are versatile enough to blend in with light wood or white-painted furniture, but would also pair beautifully with deeper walnut finishes for a more traditional look.
This wallpaper brings structure to a nursery without overwhelming it, which makes it especially helpful if your furniture and textiles lean soft or minimalist.
Think natural fiber rugs, neutral crib sheets, and cozy, tactile fabrics like cotton gauze or wool felt. Add in pops of texture with leather pulls, woven baskets, or chunky knits to complete the look.
Despite its geometric structure, Checkered Pinstripe feels relaxed—almost like a tailored textile or a vintage grain sack.
It’s a great choice if you’re aiming for a space that feels warm and grounded but still modern and tidy. And because the design is so versatile, it can transition beautifully into a toddler or older child’s room with just a few styling tweaks.
If you love patterns that act almost like a neutral backdrop but still offer depth and texture, this one’s a strong contender.
6. Whimsical Safari Carnival
Whimsical Safari Carnival is full of playful imagination, offering a fresh take on animal-themed nursery wallpaper.
Rather than a traditional safari print, this pattern features illustrated animals with subtle circus-style accessories.
Motifs include balancing elephants, lions with top hats, and giraffes, monkeys, and leopards enjoying a ride on a ferris wheel.
The illustrations are arranged in a damask inspired symmetrical layout while still capturing a sense of movement and charm.
The colour palette is cheerful yet soft with muted golden yellows, dusty blues, gentle browns, and sage greens tones across a creamy background.
The palette stays well within a neutral spectrum while still feeling joyful and full of personality—perfect for a nursery that feels fun but not overstimulating.
Despite its whimsical theme, the pattern has a hand-drawn softness to it. It strikes that just-right balance where it’s calm enough for a gentle nursery but playful enough for growing child with imagination and creativity.
This wallpaper would be lovely in a room styled with vintage-inspired toys, natural textures, and soft, layered fabrics.
Consider pairing it with a warm-toned crib, light neutral curtains, and a few animal-themed books or plush toys that complement the theme without making it feel too on-the-nose.
Woven pendant lighting or rattan accents would tie in beautifully with the earthy tones in the print.
Whimsical Safari Carnival works well as an accent wall or a full-room wrap—it’s versatile enough to stand alone, but gentle enough not to dominate the space.
It’s a great choice for those who want a nursery that sparks curiosity and joy, while still maintaining a cohesive and calming design.
7. Soft Plaid Weave
Soft Plaid Weave brings a classic textile-inspired charm to the nursery, blending the coziness of a woven blanket with the timeless appeal of plaid.
This pattern features a grid-like layout in gentle tones of blue and beige with a textured finish.
The palette is cool and neutral, with a subtle variation in tone that gives the pattern depth without harsh contrast.
When choosing other patterns and textiles to pair with this design, think oatmeal, flax, and warm stone and hints of grey-blue for a comforting mix that creates a sense of warmth and familiarity.
It’s perfect for making a nursery feel soft and snuggly from day one.
What makes this pattern especially versatile is its ability to complement so many styles.
It can lean cozy and cottagey with warm wood tones, layered linen curtains, and a rocking chair draped in soft textiles.
Or it can feel modern and minimalist when styled with crisp white furniture, organic cotton bedding, and streamlined lighting.
The plaid itself has a relaxed, organic quality. That softness helps the pattern feel baby-appropriate without being overly themed or stylized.
It’s ideal for those who want something classic and comfortable, but not overly busy or fussy.
Whether you're creating a calm, neutral base for layering color and texture—or you just love the timeless look of a good plaid—Soft Plaid Weave offers a grounded, thoughtful foundation for your nursery design.
8. Contemporary Toile Farm Animals
Contemporary Toile Farm Animals is a cheerful, down-to-earth take on the classic toile style—this time reimagined with a friendly farmyard twist.
This pattern keeps things light and modern, featuring cute cows, pigs, chickens, bunnies, and even a tiny tractor, all arranged in a simple and spaced layout with plenty of breathing room between the motifs.
The palette is soft and muted with pops of colour. Each animal is outlined with gentle line-work and filled with solid colour, giving the design a hand-printed feel that’s somewhere between storybook illustration and modern minimalism.
It’s a lovely option for nurseries where you want a little bit of theme—but nothing too kitschy or overwhelming.
The farm motifs are endearing without being overly cute or cartoony, which gives the wallpaper longevity beyond the baby stage. It could easily transition into a toddler’s room or pair beautifully in a shared sibling space.
This design works especially well with natural textures like jute rugs, raw wood furniture, or cozy linen bedding. Add in a mobile made of felt farm animals or display a few soft plush critters to subtly echo the theme.
Soft whites, sandy beige, and warm ochre accents will tie in with the palette beautifully, and a splash of barn red or sage green could add a rustic pop if you want to bring in a bit more color.
Contemporary Toile Farm Animals has a charming simplicity to it—nostalgic, but not old-fashioned. It’s a great pick for families who love the idea of countryside charm with a clean, modern twist.
9. Scribble Doodle Dogs
Scribble Doodle Dogs is a lively, free-spirited wallpaper that adds playful energy to a nursery while keeping the overall look clean and contemporary.
The pattern features loosely illustrated dogs sketched in a painterly messy style.
Each pup has its own personality and the whole layout feels spontaneous and joyful, like pages from a sketchbook.
The beauty of this pattern lies in its simplicity.
The dogs are rendered in loose line-work, with small and subtle colour accents, giving the design a minimalist yet expressive look.
Despite the lack of detail, the hand-drawn charm is unmistakable—it feels artistic and effortless rather than polished or cartoonish.
The neutral background keeps the overall tone soft and versatile, making it easy to pair with nearly any nursery colour palette.
Whether you’re working with warm woods, crisp whites, or even subtle pops of colour like terracotta, olive, or dusty blue, Scribble Doodle Dogs will hold its own without clashing.
This wallpaper is especially well-suited to modern nurseries, design-forward spaces, or rooms with a playful, eclectic vibe.
You could lean into the artsy feel with playful wall art, simple monochrome toys, and clean-lined furniture—or go a little cozier with wool rugs, soft knit blankets, and woven storage bins to balance the sketched lines with texture.
It’s also a smart pick for longevity. The pattern is playful enough for a baby’s room, but its artful style feels more like contemporary decor than nursery-specific design. It’ll easily grow with your child—and still look great long after the crib becomes a bed.
10. Traditional Pinstripe
Simple Vertical Pinstripe is a timeless, minimal wallpaper that brings a subtle rhythm and calm structure to a nursery.
The design features clean, evenly spaced vertical lines in a warm beige tone set against a soft blue.
It’s a straightforward pattern—but that’s exactly what makes it so versatile and appealing.
There are no motifs, no animals, and no flourishes—just crisp, modern pinstripes that add gentle visual interest without overwhelming the space.
The result is a nursery wallpaper that feels elegant, understated, and timeless, whether you’re designing for a newborn, toddler, or even planning a shared room that needs to grow with your family.
This wallpaper works beautifully with nearly any colour palette, but especially well with neutral nursery schemes and heritage inspired decor. The blue and beige palette of this colourway is also a great fit for nautical nursery themes and coastal nursery decor.
Think natural oak or white-painted cribs, soft cream and tan textiles, and touches of texture through wool rugs, cotton blankets, or wicker storage baskets. The vertical lines can also help visually elongate the walls, making it a smart pick for smaller rooms or spaces with lower ceilings.
Because the pattern is so subtle, it’s a great backdrop for layering in bolder accents elsewhere—colorful wall art, playful mobiles, patterned crib sheets, or even changing seasonal décor as your child grows.
And if your style leans more classic, coastal, Scandinavian, or modern farmhouse, this wallpaper fits right in.
Simple Vertical Pinstripe proves that sometimes less really is more—especially when you want to create a calm, comforting nursery that still feels polished and thoughtfully designed.
