Choose Wallpaper Murals with Friendly Animals for Your Nursery Decoration

There are many things to plan and to choose when you're getting ready to welcome a baby into your home. Between the necessities like a crib and car seat; to cloth versus disposable diapers; to the many wardrobe choices, there are many decisions to make.

When you're making plans for your baby, many of those plans will involve their room. If you're fortunate to have a room just for Baby, you may wonder about the best way to decorate that room.

The most important thing about choosing your baby's wall mural is to follow your heart. Any decisions about your home interior decor should be up to you. Your parents, in-laws, or your best friend may give you suggestions, but only you know what you'll want for the baby's room.

Here are some general guidelines for choosing your nursery wall mural:

• Color

Whether you already know your expected baby's gender or not, parents today aren't limited to a choice between blue and pink. Whatever color speaks to your heart is the one can should choose.

• Pattern Size

When choosing nursery wallpaper murals, people often choose patterns with pictures that are too small for the room.

If you want to choose bold, jungle stripes or even a kaleidoscope theme, then go ahead and do it. Whatever spirit you want to portray; in your baby's room is up to you.

• Pattern Type

Do you want your nursery walls to look higher? Choose vertical stripes to elongate the walls. If you want the nursery to look wider, choose horizontal stripes or rows.

If you choose a wallpaper with pictures that are close together, the wall will have a "busy" look. This can become overwhelming if it is used on a very large wall. Studies have shown your room design can play a large part in your baby's cognitive development.

What's Trending?

If you do want to gather inspiration from today's popular trends, you should know flowers are trending.

Geometric patterns are also trending. Although bold lines of shapes and circles are popular, you don't have to stick with black lines for the outline. Some who choose geometric patterns will choose a lighter-colored version of that same pattern for an accent wall or ceiling.

Here are some ideas for wallpaper murals to get you inspired. All of these have animal themes. These murals can provide imaginative ideas for your nursery:

Energetic Mountains Wallpaper Mural

This wallpaper gives you a collection of peacefully grazing animals and an upscale, sophisticated landscape. The colors range between the subtle blue of a mountain stream; to tigers in a soft shade of copper.

These animals aren't fairy-tale sheep or giant-eyed kittens. The illustrations are upscale, but somehow comforting enough to lull Baby into sleep.

Forest Animals Wallpaper Mural

This mural shows a group of realistic-looking foxes, raccoons, hedgehogs, squirrels, bunnies and deer around the stark, leafless trunks of birch trees.

The main color of this wallpaper mural is white. The animals' colors won't add or detract from any planned color scheme, because the artist includes the pictured animals seamlessly. This may be a good choice if your home has minimalist decor.

Animal Meeting Wallpaper Mural

Once again, here is a nursery wallpaper mural with white as it's main color - and it features a group of animals.

The animals in this mural are more cartoonish than TVs previous mural. The scene depicts what may be a conference between a fox, a squirrel, a hedgehog, a deer, a fawn and a baby bird. Giant cartoon mushrooms surround them, as well as some delicate stalks of foliage.

Animal World Map Wallpaper Mural

If you don't choose this for your baby's nursery, you can recommend it to your favorite Geography Teacher. As the title suggests, this mural includes an illustration of a world map. In addition to clearly depicting the world's countries, the map also includes cartoon-like illustrations of animals.

Some of the animals include: pandas, giraffes, zebra, camels, tigers, kangaroos, bears, etc. The water on the map is painted light blue. This is a good way to surround your Baby with beauty - as well as a future source of education.

Tropic Animal Sketch Wallpaper Mural

Animal lovers who prefer minimalist decor can select this black-and-white illustrations of friendly giraffes, elephants and a curious lemur climbing up some realistically-illustrated lush-leafed trees.

Despite the black and white colors, this mural is comforting - due to the inscrutable yet compassionate looks on the faces of the animals. They're so serene; they seem to be humming a lullaby.

Colorful Forest Animals Wallpaper Mural

The animals are back in this design of wall mural - but these animals are in "living color." They are cartoon-like enough to charm any baby or parent and the colors are bright and realistic.

Animals in this design include a baby fox, a fawn, a hedgehog, a squirrel and a chipmunk. The surrounding plants bring in lots of bright colors.

This wall mural is very colorful; choosing any of its dominant colors for matching curtains and linens will continue its cheerful theme.

Animal Band Wallpaper Mural

Our animal friends have been blasted into space! There's a vast, black sky, studded with stars. The cartoon elephant, zebra, alligator, raccoon and bunny have formed a band on a big, bright orange planet.

In the distance, there's a ringed planet that might be Saturn, a cartoon airplane and a few smaller planets. Music lovers will enjoy this mural and its whimsical portrayal of an animal "jam session."

Moon and Sloth Wallpaper Mural

If you'd like a nursery mural with just one animal, you can choose this one. This calm, cloudy skyscape features golden stars and a few golden comets. On the bottom of the golden moon is the friendliest sloth you could ever imagine.

Although this mural has the least number of animals, its irrepressible star will more than make up for that with his winning smile.

The design team for these wall murals have stretched the boundaries of classic imagination and also offer a wide range of wall mural designs for every room in your home.

Their designs run the gamut from traditional floral designs; to Pop Art designs that are reminiscent of Warhol. There are also cityscapes, bold cartoons, replications of famous art, and other illustrations that could pique the interest of a wide range of interests.

Any of the above nursery wall murals would make a unique and special choice for your baby's nursery - or you can choose from the selection at the ever wallpaper website.
