When thinking about the theme for their child's nursery decor, parents naturally gravitate towards something soothing, calm, and serene, so it's no surprise that nature is mentioned time and time again. From cloud nursery decor to rainbow nursery decor, we've been taking inspiration from the beauty of nature for decades for our homes, but no room seems to lend itself to this more than a nursery.
One theme that is both gender-neutral and lends itself to older children is a woodland nursery. If you love the idea of a woodland-themed nursery and are searching for inspiration, plus products to shop, you've landed in the right place.
From beautiful murals to cute prints and smart storage, here are plenty of woodland nursery ideas to inspire you.
