While the nurseries of the past may have been all about softness and subtlety, there’s something to be said for a large nursery statement piece. And if you’re looking for something a little bolder than nursery artwork (not necessarily with the uniformity of nursery wallpaper), a nursery mural could be an excellent way to make a splash in your baby’s room! From modern to classic, wild to understated, here are some of our favorite nursery mural ideas.
