    A woodland theme nursery is so sweet and fun for littles because it brings infinite textures and concepts in, from greenery, rocks, and twigs to various animals. Therefore, a solid neutral base like these gray mountains is a perfect backdrop for the colourful accents you use to decorate the space.

    It is a surprising choice, because the typical woodland nursery colour palette trends toward greens, browns, and grays, but a bold blue can create a gorgeous canvas for this theme, as seen in this little boy’s woodland nursery.

    An airy look is achievable, even if you are going into the woods! White walls, neutral flooring, and lots of pale furniture make this space extra sweet. Mom brought the woodland details in with antlers, foliage in the maternity prints hanging on the wall, and subtle details throughout.

    This gender-neutral woodland nursery is decked out with forest-themed details and every single one is a precious addition to the space. We love the stuffies hanging out on top of the dresser here; easy pieces like this can be changed or upgraded as Baby grows, without an entire nursery overhaul necessary.
