In 2025, we’re saying “bye” to beige and “hello” to exciting new shades. Nursery and baby room décor is shifting, embracing beautiful colour palettes, classic patterns, and interesting murals that will spark little imaginations.
Neutral hues have had their time, and the clean aesthetic is, well, perhaps getting a little boring by now. If this resonates with you, some of our most recent nursery wallpaper murals will intrigue and inspire.
We have everything from the return of florals and vintage designs to nature-inspired motifs and storytelling scenery – oh, and not forgetting – a small dose of whimsy, too!
Here are some fun, quirky and unique baby room wallpaper trends to try in 2025…
Adorable Treehouses
This treehouse mural is the perfect way to inject colour into your baby’s nursery while celebrating the beauty of nature and the great outdoors. More importantly, we love how it tells a story…or makes way for you to create your own!
Most babies develop their colour vision from about 4 months, so this mural is perfect from birth, providing new stimulation as they grow. There’s so much to keep small minds active, and we admit we’re somewhat obsessed. In fact, we’re obsessed with all baby room décor by Oliver Robins!
Our Oliver Robins mural collection features a range of designs that bring life into a young child’s room, with gorgeous illustrations and awe-inspiring narratives that feed into those teeny brain sponges of theirs.
Soft Florals
If you’ve never considered florals for your baby’s nursery, now is the time to do so. Traditional floral walls are making a comeback, and not just for our living and dining spaces either. If you want a trend that lifts the spirit and soothes the soul, flowery prints are the way to go in 2025.
Not only are the smooth curves of floral fractals beneficial to our mental wellbeing (we gotta look after mama postpartum), but the visual impact of flowers can benefit new arrivals, too. Plants and flowers provide opportunities for sensory development in babies. In real life, this can be touch or scent. But just seeing flowers can help little ones learn and navigate their world.
The different colours can engage a child’s senses, and the shapes of flowers can be both stimulating and calming.
Victorian Baby Room Decor
White Fantastic Forest wall mural
As well as bringing back the granny florals, we’re also seeing a rise in Victorian-inspired wallpaper. Think traditional colour combinations like sage green and brown, as well as intricate patterns that cover the entire wall.
We’re also seeing more of the use of wall-to-wall murals for a maximalist effect, transforming the whole room in a fully immersive way. Wave bye bye to that feature wall – 2025 is the year to fully commit to your favourite mural design and roll it out across the entire space.

Animals of the Jungle
This jungle wallpaper is a great way to inspire your little one’s creativity, while getting them interested in different animals. Animal names are often babies’ first words, so having an animal mural can be a brilliant tip for boosting language skills as the months go on.
Green jungle-themed wallpaper is also a big trend for nurseries in 2025, giving you the perfect canvas for jungle décor elements. Opt for a tonal green colour palette, invest in the cutest plush jungle creatures for added whimsy, and include animal artwork and other decorative items to complete the room. You can even opt for a green carpet or rug to imitate a jungle floor, and don’t be afraid to get some green furniture paint to stencil on your own leafy designs.
Nostalgic Woodland Wallpaper
Nature and animal motifs are a huge trend for nursery wallpaper in 2025, and we love some of the repetitive patterns seen in our nursery mural collection.
This wallpaper perfectly introduces nature and opens up many design opportunities. The muted colour also allows neutral-loving parents to stay within their comfort zone while exploring this year’s bold wallpaper trends.
The design of this mural transports us all back in time – giving ‘paired back dopamine décor’ and adding a touch of playfulness to your baby’s safe space. It’s truly a portal of nostalgia and brings so much magic to a preschooler’s bedroom.
Traditional Lines and Checks
Another major trend we’re seeing in baby’s nurseries is the return of classic lines and checks. A proven interior design formula used for many decades and in homes of every size and style. There’s something wonderfully grand and grown-up about lined or checked wall murals, making it ideal for large spaces that need elevating.
This interior trend also works well with nurseries that have more traditional furniture. For instance, this could be the ideal mural for your new arrival if you prefer vintage furniture or dark wood over light wood. Cover all four walls for a fully immersive design – just be sure to invest in good artificial lights to prevent the room from getting too cramped.
Under the Sea
Young children are fascinated by the ocean and love exploring all the sea creatures in the water. We love under-the-sea style wall murals because they make you feel like you’ve taken a dive metres under the surface – and who doesn’t enjoy getting lost in an imaginary underwater world?
Blue is also a very calming colour, so mamas and colicky babies can have a place of respite when emotions run high.
Finish off the room with oceanic décor, and watch your little one’s face light up as they grow and learn about all the different fish and sea animals.
