Nursery Wallpaper
The best nursery wallpaper does two jobs: it makes the 3am feeds feel calmer, and it still looks right when the cot becomes a big-kid bed. That is what this collection of 56 designs is for: soft animal characters, drifting clouds, gentle botanicals and quiet washes from Sandberg, Rebel Walls and Emma Hayes. Fourteen are sold by the roll from US$141; the rest are made to measure and priced by the square metre from US$64. Every design is available as an US$8 sample, plus about US$25 postage to the US.

Buying guide and questions we are asked
How to choose nursery wallpaper
Choose a design that reads as calm from the doorway. Small-scale prints in two or three soft colours, clouds, stars, a sparse woodland, make a room feel settled; big characters and bright primaries do the opposite at bedtime. Keep it to the wall behind the cot, so the room can be repainted or rearranged without touching the paper, and pick a colour you would be happy to live with in a bedroom of your own. Most of the designs here grow with the child: a woodland works at two and at ten.
Everything here is non-woven and hangs paste-the-wall: the paste goes on the wall, the paper goes up dry, and there is no soaking table taking over the house mid-renovation. Most nurseries need only two or three rolls for a feature wall behind the cot. Check with the roll calculator, and for a mural enter the wall size on the product page.
Where to start
The nursery designs ordered over the last year were three Sandberg prints, Della, Hollie and the made-to-measure Wilton, and the samples went to Emma Hayes' Songbird and Sandberg's Morangen alongside them. For clouds and skies see sky and clouds; for animals at any age, animal wallpaper; for the quietest option of all, the washes and plasters in calm and gentle.
Before you order
Order samples of the shortlist and tape them up where the cot will go. Nursery lamps and daylight tell very different colour stories, so look in both. Hang the paper before the furniture arrives, and read how to hang wallpaper or how to hang a wall mural if you are doing it yourself; if not, book an installer. Older children's rooms, including the Harry Potter™ murals, are in kids' wallpaper.
Questions we are asked about nursery wallpaper
Is wallpaper safe in a nursery?
Each brand's paper is different. Sandberg's non-woven wallpapers are free from toxins, heavy metals, plasticisers and PVC and printed with non-toxic inks; Rebel Walls murals are non-toxic and free of plasticisers, heavy metals and PVC (except the Commercial Vinyl finish), with a water-based matte finish; Emma Hayes prints with organic-pigment inks free of heavy metals. The product page carries the details for that design.
How many rolls does a nursery feature wall need?
Usually two or three. Measure the wall's width and height, note the pattern repeat on the product page and use the roll calculator; round up to the next full roll.
How long does delivery take?
Delivery to the US takes 2 to 3 weeks standard, or 10 business days by express, because many designer papers are printed to order overseas. US import duties are included in our prices, so there's nothing extra to pay at checkout or on delivery.
Can I get a sample first?
Yes. Samples are US$8 each plus about US$25 postage to the US, sent by letter mail.
