If you need baby boy nursery ideas then you are in the right place! These cool, modern and timeless baby nurseries are sure to inspire you.
It can feel a little overwhelming when starting from scratch with designing your baby’s nursery, but the best place to start is looking at pictures of other people’s nurseries to figure out what you like.
Write down what colours, prints and textures appeal to you the most and you will start to get an idea of what you gravitate towards.
Modern nurseries may incorporate an earthy boho vibe with lots of beige, grey and creams, or go more bold with dark panelled walls, big wooden letters spelling out baby’s name and a modern crib.
Whatever you love, I think these boy nursery ideas and themes will give you a great place to start!

Boy nursery ideas
These sweet nurseries are the perfect place to get inspiration for your own nursery.
Here comes the sun
I just love this gorgeous baby boy room with the sun rising on the wall. The colours are beautifully neutral and it has a very boho, relaxed feel.
It’s easy to recreate, and decals like this are pretty easy to apply plus they’re designed to not cause any permanent damage to your walls when you’re ready for a refresh!
This beautiful sunrise boy’s room was put together by @ivahnacmunandar.
Cactus cuteness
Who knew cactuses could look so adorable in a nursery?
I love how this nursery from @annecolehowell has little cactus plants, and cactuses in the cot mobile, paired together with a white and orange colour scheme that looks so contemporary and cool.
There are also sun print sheets and a print on the shelves to add to this desert vibe.
Hares & nature
Bunnies and hares are a perfect baby boy nursery theme!
It works great with colour schemes in green and grey.
I adore this pretty nursery from @Thewhighamhome with its lovely hare sketch wallpaper and gentle grey and natural wood colour scheme.
True blue
Using the colour blue does not have to be overly cutesy or baby-ish. You can do it in a modern and exciting way like this sophisticated boy nursery from @charm_custom_interiors.
I absolutely love the whimsical blue cloudy wall and that statement rug. Notice also the use of the baby name statement wall art. This is such a cool trend and you can do it in a way that fits the styling of your room, changing fonts or the materials used.
Mountain wilderness
If you love the idea of adding some bears to your child’s room but don’t want it to be too cutesy then this wilderness theme is perfect.
I love how @dluxe_designs_interiors has styled this gorgeous mountain nursery, with prints, a cool teepee and signs.
Teddy bear
A cuddly teddy bear is a great place to start when it comes to decorating your baby’s bedroom.
You can use prints, wall decals and actual teddy bears to bring this one together. The beautiful thing about this theme is that the colour scheme can be totally personalised.
You could use blues and beiges, or orange and golds. It’s up to you!
Honey bees
A bumblebee theme is the perfect idea for your sweet baby boy!
Use black, white and of course yellow to bring this theme together. Shapes really help to make it work as well, so be sure to add some honeycomb shelving or wall decor into your nursery too.
Wild woodland
I love the dark colours in this cool woodland-themed nursery by @clord946. The fir tree decal stickers look so striking on the walls, as do the stunning gold animal hangings.
Jungle
A jungle theme works perfectly as the colours in the prints you can use on the walls will generally be neutral – yellows, oranges, greens and greys.
I love the use of animal wallpaper in the nursery by @athomewithslk.
Plus you can really inject some fun with this theme – use cute print on the walls of jungle animals along with big plants in the corner to add interest. Wall colours could be white, green or yellow.
This lovely jungle nursery is from @_monica.king.
Animals
Just look at the beautiful wood panelling and the stunning animal decorations in this lovely modern boy’s nursery from For The Love of Greige.
I love the use of pale grey and that pretty blanket throwing in a splash of colour.
Rainbow
A rainbow theme can be done in a subtle way with pastel shades and lots of rainbows – bedding, rugs, wall decals, toys – or more subtly with just a few key pieces bringing the rainbow theme to life.
I love wall decals for making the rainbow theme work – and you can get them in a variety of colours. It does not have to be rainbow shades! You could go for a boho themed rainbow nursery by opting for rainbows in a neutral palette.
Away in the clouds
Clouds are a wonderful opportunity to create a nursery with a cool, airy and clean feel to it. Use blues, whites and greys to make this a gorgeous space.
I love the gorgeous wall featuring birds as well as the cloud crib mobile in this beautiful room by @carolinemarie.xo.
Gorgeous green
I love the use of green in a baby’s bedroom. It feels both serene and more modern, and is a perfect choice for parents wanting to head down a more gender neutral route.
What’s great about this gorgeous example from @_monica.king, from @kingconceptinteriors, is that it works for your child as they get bigger because it’s not too babyish. I adore the wood panelling in this photo!
Under the sea
The under the sea theme is a classic for a baby’s bedroom theme, however you can make it beautiful and modern with a few simple touches.
Cool blue shades combined with clever prints or decals for the wall will bring this theme to life. I love this ocean themed nursery from @townhouse_on_the_green.
Scandi
A Scandi theme nursery features minimal clutter, clean lines and solid wood floors and/or furniture.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
A star theme is so lovely for your own little star! You could use prints featuring lines from the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star nursery rhyme, or stars on your baby’s bedding and blankets.
Modern city life
Add a cool cityscape to the wall to bring this modern nursery design to life.
Add bold prints for a modern feel, such as chevrons and zigzags in simple colours to make it really pop.
Bold stripes
If you want to really make a statement then these green bold stripes are a great way to do it!
Pick just two colours to keep it really uniform throughout the room.
I think it also works really well with a deep navy and white stripe.
Minimalist black and white triangles
I love the use of black triangles on a white wall to really make a statement with baby’s nursery. You can either space the triangles – using wall stickers – out at random or make them uniform and packed close together.
Modern stylish
Who says a baby’s room has to look like a baby’s room? Stylish modern designs still work great in a baby’s room and you can add a cosy and comforting feel with soft fabrics like rugs and throws.
Mono minimalist
The striking black and white rug in the heart of this baby’s room really brings this minimalist theme to life.
Use white on the walls and for furniture then add black shapes and lines to give it a modern feel.
Final thoughts
I hope these beautiful nursery designs have given you some ideas for your own baby’s bedroom!
