10 Tips For A Woodland Themed Baby Nursery

10 tips for woodland themed baby nursery

Planning, decorating, and (finally) putting together a baby nursery is no easy task! You need to make sure that everything is as perfect as it can be, and a lot of times parents end up making mistakes along the way (which is completely normal too!). If you have decided on having a woodland-themed baby nursery, this blog post is perfect for you. We have come up with our top 10 tips for a woodland-themed Baby Nursery, which also works for any nursery theme really!

1. Plan, plan, and plan!

This is suuuuper important and will really save you a lot of time when you start putting everything together! Getting everything right down to the smallest of details, like the measurements and all help make sure that all your furniture, decoration, and important things are right where they should be! Planning can get daunting, especially if you’re starting off with a blank piece of paper or screen but trust the process, and your future self will definitely thank you for all the planning you did!

2. Budget accordingly

While this technically counts as part of the planning process, we feel like budgeting should be a whole section on its own. Let’s be honest, the entire process of putting together a new nursery might be costly, so make sure you know where to spend more money, and where you can save! For instance, this Tutti Bambini Rio Cot Bed from Mothercare is actually convertible to a junior bed! So really, it’s a good investment as this bed can last up to your kid’s 6th birthday. As for decorations, if you are a hands-on artsy person, don’t be afraid to DIY your own decoration (see also tip #10!). With all these in mind, it will definitely help you get your dream woodland-themed baby nursery without making a huge dent in the wallet.

3. Stick to the colour theme

We cannot stress this enough but follow your colour palette! For the woodland-theme baby nursery, the colour palette should include greens, blacks, different shades of woodsy brown, and a little bit of blue. Having the hex codes can be helpful in finding the specific colours when you start shopping for the decoration and deciding to paint the walls. Here is a link that we found on Pinterest that has an entire collection of different colour palettes which fits the woodland-theme!

4. Don’t forget to add the woodsy/rustic touch!

Remember not to go all out with the woodland theme, or it’ll look like you’re suddenly transported down the rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland! It’s alright to add hints and little touches, especially with wood to accentuate the theme further. For example, you can get a wooden changing table to complement the colour palette. Putting up mini hanging wooden pieces also helps add to the theme without actually looking like you over-did it.

5. Storage but make it woodland-themed

While you want to make everything look cute, remember practicality, and storage is very important! Especially when you have a baby, and need a ton of things. From bibs and burping clothes to blankets, and definitely, the overload of different types of clothes, ensuring there is enough storage for everything is important. This adorable Woodland Fox Basket helps keep to the theme while keeping everything organized.

6. Showcase it on the walls!

You can either make an accent woodland theme wall, with inspiration from here or hang up wall decor! From happy quotes to woodland animal hanging prints and canvases, the combinations to make the walls stand out and “speak” on their own, are endless!

7. Make sure your floor matches it too

Having light-coloured flooring helps matches furniture easily. Ensure that if you are planning on following a wooden theme, make your floor match too! Details are always important. You can also add an animal face rug to make the flooring look less empty!

8. Don’t forget the ceiling

Babies are always laying on their backs and looking up, so decorating the ceiling should not be left out. Adding baby mobiles to nurseries is common, and this woodland-themed one is simply adorable! Did you know that besides adding decor to the nursery, baby mobiles actually help with the baby’s growth? According to an article by Mother’s Choice, it helps with visual stimulation, motor skills development, and more!

9. Throw in some friends!

Many animals belong to The Woodlands, like squirrels, foxes, bears, moose, and much more! Add in some stuffed friends around the nursery to make it more lively with the wide array of colours from each animal. Soft toys are usually a baby’s first companion, so don’t be shy to give them some friends!

10. Make it uniquely yours!

While decorating and taking inspiration from the nurseries you see on Pinterest is fun, don’t forget to add your own touch to it! Have your baby’s name personalized above the crib or on the door, and add little hints that make it different. For example, you can add this personalized wall sign to spell your baby’s name! This will make your baby’s nursery, uniquely yours!

We hope this helps you plan your woodland-themed baby nursery! Remember that this entire process doesn’t happen overnight, and a lot of planning happens before you get everything perfect. Just follow the tips and have fun along the way. Seeing everything come together, in the end, is definitely worth the wait.
