10 Of The Best Nursery Styling Options In Australia In 2023

Thanks to Pinterest and Instagram, many parents-to-be have a dream of what their baby’s nursery will look like!

We picture stunning furniture, their names written in cursive on the wall and gorgeous, colourful decals surrounding it. We picture a beautiful rocking chair and gorgeous tiny outfits hanging around the room, with bookshelves full of a rainbow books below.

Obviously it can be a bit of a minefield when it comes to knowing where to start, so we’ve done the hard work for you, deciphering what you should consider and the things that can pack the biggest punch with the least amount of effort.

What should you look for in nursery decor?

Rent-friendly options for the walls

Even if you’re not in a rental, odds are you might not want to be painting or drilling into walls, as your taste in decor may change as your baby grows. Opt for things like decals that can be easily removed and reused as you move or change your mind!

Big items that pack a big punch

Think about items that can transform the look of the room, and spend money there. Think bookshelves, beds, rocking chairs and rugs!

Go personalised

If in doubt, pick personalised items adorned with your child’s name. This is a great way to add personality to your child’s nursery and make it feel more like home.

1. Pickawall - DIY wallpaper and murals

Pickawall Diy Wallpaper And Murals

From a whole wall adorned with Claris, the chicest mouse in Paris, to smaller butterfly or even spiderman decals - Pickawall has the perfect option for your child’s nursery.

What makes Pickawall different?

Pickawall’s wall murals are fully customised by you and made to order in their Melbourne factory. They prepare, print, pack and despatch your wall murals within days of ordering. They offer Pickawall – Wallpaper, Pickadecal – Decals, Pickafloor – custom self-adhesive flooring and now Pickacanvas – premium quality Canvas stretched frames of any imagery from their Gallery or supplied by you!

Their library partners at Getty Images and Alamy, provide Pickawall access to over 120 million high-resolution images which you can use to create your own wall mural for your wall or nursery!

Importantly, as leaders in our industry, we print our wall murals using Latex safe inks, which are odourless and free of toxins for the safety of your family and environment. 

Why try Pickawall?

Pickawall’s interactive website allows you to fully customise your wall mural by editing colour, scale and rotation. Pickawall also gives you the choice of uploading your own photos or designs. Their expertise and passion for printing on all types of fabric make Pickawall the stand out from their competitors, and allows them to provide you with the best quality self-adhesive fabric wall murals.

Unlike other mural companies, Pickawall wall murals are printed on a unique 100% opaque fabric which adheres to all smooth non-porous surfaces. It can be installed, repositioned and re-used as many times as you need without damaging your wall or the mural on the correct wall surface – perfect for renters.

Pickawall is not a cheap vinyl sticker that traps bubbles or requires glue or paste. Pickawall was developed as an easy DIY wallpaper product, a canvas fabric stock that breathes and is an air-release woven stock so any bubbles and creases simply push out.

Real customer reviews:

"“My daughter is a huge fan of horses and has always dreamed of having a horse. Pickawall made her dream come true and was able to create this magical 'The wild things - horse' wall. It looks amazing she was thrilled! Pickawall wallpaper was easy to install and I had so much fun installing it with my girl. Highly recommend Pickawall to all. The PAW team was efficient and great to work with making the whole process enjoyable for all. Thank you Pickawall. Easy to use, so many options, amazing transformation.”" - Maryanne Trifon

2. Three dimensional wall art

Three Dimensional Wall Art

Once you choose how the room will be themed, it’s then easy to start choosing pieces to tie in with that theme. To elevate your look from simple framed prints on the wall, why not choose pieces that literally stand out! Three dimensional animals ‘coming out’ of the wall are really popular right now, especially for a jungle themed room, and we love these gorgeous Affirmation Wall Hanging Balloons from Devine Design. Perfect for a little girl or boy! Likewise, their themed wall shelves add a whole new dimension to any nursery - our favourite is the ballerina wall-mounted shelf.

3. A real princess canopy

Real Princess Canopy

A simple decor item to install that packs a huge punch, is a canopy that is attached to the roof and then drapes over a big kid bed, or beside a baby’s cot. These give a real-life Rapuzel vibe, and come in a variety of shades. These can also be used to drape over a toy area to create a special space. We love this princess-style canopy from Adairs.

4. Birth Posters

Birth Posters

An incredibly thoughtful gift to a new parent, birth drawings are all the rage right now. As our bubs will never be as small as they were when they were born, it can be easy to forget just how small they once were! A 1:1 scale birth poster shows a to-scale drawing of your baby at the time of their birth, so you can reminisce about just how teeny they once were! We love these super cute drawings from Little Leggs!

5. Furniture to ‘make a statement’

Furniture To Make A Statement

Finding statement furniture can be a tricky task, as there is an abundance of white cots and grey nursing chairs out there! It’s always a good idea to think about investing in pieces that will provide longevity and suit your baby once they become a toddler and a young child, too! If you’re after something different, we highly recommend looking at Design Kidz. We love the Babyletto furniture because it’s sturdy, functional, and more exciting than the average white cot. The Babyletto Lolly Cot in Grey and Washed Natural has got to be the favourite, though.

6. Bedding with a difference

Bedding With A Difference

A cot takes up a lot of space in a child’s room, so what better way to tie into a theme than with some awesome bedding? These days, we’re spoiled for choice with options for children’s cots and big kid beds. From Disney-themed duvets, to really colourful cot sheets that set the whole room alight with flair. We love the range of on-trend cot sheets from Banabae. Their comfy range of kids bedding provide comfort and style - and won’t lose their shape!

7. Night lights

Night Lights

A beautiful night light can be just the icing on the cake when it comes to decorating your child’s bedroom. Not only do they keep your child feeling safe and secure as they sleep, the range of designs now available mean that they actually add a dollop of fun to the room! We love the Duski Dream Night Lights, because you can choose a fairy, a unicorn, a dinosaur - or even a rocket, just to name a few. Better still, the remote control means you can flick between 13 different colours until you find the one you like.

8. Personalised wall art

Personalised Wall Art

Not sure of your theme or where to start? Why not try getting your child’s name created as art to place on the wall? This is a great starting point when it comes to decorating your child’s bedroom, because besides the colour and size of the name, you don’t need to worry about much else, including how it will work within the theme - once decided. We love the designs from Laser Sharp Creations. So cute!

9. Chic toys

Chic Toys

Think chic luggage cases, ride-in antique cars, stunning trains and beautiful books displayed as they should be in gorgeous book cases. Investing in toys that make a statement can create a wonderful atmosphere in any bedroom. It’s the luxe look on a shoestring budget, and it’s the key to bringing an Instagram-ready nursery to life.

10. Rugs that 'POP'!

Rugs That Pop

Need to add colour (or cover bad carpet) fast? A big fluffy rug is the answer. Not only does it provide comfort to a hardwood floor, it can also be the thing that ties a room full of themed ‘things’ together and creates a real atmosphere. It is often the missing piece, and the thing you never knew you were missing. We love the incredible range of children’s rugs at Hip Kids; from the world rug, to the rainbow rug - and the lion head rug, you’re sure to find the perfect piece for your child’s nursery.
