Let’s be honest: babies don’t need a whole lot more than our love, attention, nourishment, and diapers—many, many diapers. But it is pretty fun to design and decorate a creative space in your home just for your little ones. Personally, planning the nursery was my favorite part of the nesting process.
If you’re in the nesting mode too, we rounded up some adorable nursery themes to consider. We love how these nurseries were inspired by certain themes or elements, but all have details to make them unique. From statement wallpaper to floral wall decals to even a bright yellow surfboard, keep reading to see five adorable nursery themes we love and 22 decor photos to inspire your little one’s space.
