When it comes to decorating possibilities for the modern nursery, many user-friendly options await you! What could be easier than peel-and-stick decals that can be applied and removed without doing any damage to the wall underneath? A perfect solution for renters, wall decals can transform a room into a magical wonderland with a few pieces of vinyl.

Today’s featured decals are organized by their popularity in boys’ and girls’ rooms. But don’t be quick to stereotype–who’s to say that baby girls can’t enjoy blue elephant decals or airplane motifs? Furthermore, a bird-filled tree decal can be just as appropriate for a boys’ nursery as it can for the room of a baby girl. Don’t take the categories below too literally. Be creative, and find ways to incorporate your desired motif into the nursery of your dreams!

Nursery Wall Decals for Boys’ and Girls’ Rooms

We begin with a set of decals that are perfect for boys’ and girls’ rooms alike. The White Safari Animal Decals pop against painted walls. You will see many ultra-colorful selections in today’s post. This decal set gets draws strength from it’s simplicity. Because sometimes limiting design to one color is the best way to celebrate shape and form! [from Pottery Barn Kids]

We now travel to the jungle to view the Banana Loving Monkeys in a Tree Growth Chart, a decal set from Dali Decals. Not only is the chart useful, the stylized design instantly sets a playful, fun tone!

Ready to be transported through the universe? Outer Space Wall Decals from EvgieNev will get the job done! These matte vinyl decals add a whimsical element to the nursery. As you might imagine, they really pop against vibrant walls, much as stars shine against the dark sky at night!

Sometimes there’s pure magic in the most basic of designs. Like this set of 6 Big Fluffy Cloud wall decals. And don’t think the walls have to be blue for these sticky statements to work their magic! There’s something dreamy about a sky of white puffy clouds. Why not bring them into the nursery? [from Dali Decals]

It’s all about the forest with the Woodland Animals Scene nursery wall decals, complete with owls, a deer, a fox, and yes, a raccoon. Throw in some foliage and a few artistic clouds, and you have a wall mural effect. Note how these decals veer into sophisticated territory, thanks to a dark wall color that allows the white forms to pop. [from EvgieNev]

The Squirrels on the Tree with Bambi Baby Deer and Birds decals below are a wonderful combination of retro charm and indie style. Blue, red and gold combine to create an irresistible blend of muted primary colors. Throw in an equally irresistible mix of creatures, and the result is enchanting. [from EgvieNev]

A whole herd of elephants stars in the next vignette, thanks to the Branson Elephant Decal from Pottery Barn Kids. A crafty look is achieved by stitch-like borders. A homemade effect is the result, which makes this selection a clever departure from many of today’s ultra-bright contemporary decals.

A little trend alert: elephants and birds are all the rage. Especially when little birds are balanced on the backs of elephants! We see this motif on poster art, T-shirts, and now decals. We think you’ll agree that the Elephant Pair & Little Birdie Wall Decal below is nothing less than adorable. [from The Boys Depot]
