A boho nursery is a relaxed, eclectic space that prioritizes natural textures, warm colors, and global-inspired patterns to create a serene environment for your little one. It blends modern minimalism with organic warmth, making it a popular choice for parents moving away from traditional themes.
For a quick overview, here are the key factors:
-
Palette: It moves away from traditional pinks, utilizing earthy tones like terracotta, sage, and beige to create a baby girl nursery that feels timeless and calming.
-
Walls: Large-scale murals, particularly terrazzo or abstract designs, serve as a focal point, often replacing the need for complex hand-painting.
-
Texture: Layering elements like rattan, jute, linen, and wool adds depth and coziness, which is essential for a welcoming atmosphere.
In this article, we will take a deep dive into this stunning project by Jeru Peace to show you exactly how to achieve this look.
The Vision: Creating a Warm Baby Girl Nursery
You guys know how much we love to see your beautiful interior projects created with our removable wallpaper! This stunning nursery was designed by Jeru Peace for her baby girl, Jax.
The vision was clear from the start: earthy tones. Jeru uses these warm hues throughout her house and wanted to keep the same vibe for this room as well. The idea of doing a terrazzo wall for this baby girl nursery was one of the first things she noted on her mood board when she found out she was expecting. It proves that you don't need bright pinks to create a feminine space; warm neutrals work wonderfully to create a cozy, "earthy" vibe.
Key Design Elements in This Boho Nursery
This room is light and airy, yet filled with various textures and boho nursery decor details that draw your attention everywhere you look. Here is a breakdown of the key elements that brought this look together.
The Statement Wall: Terrazzo Boho Nursery Wallpaper
Jeru originally had the idea of painting the walls herself to achieve that terrazzo look. However, painting complex patterns can be incredibly time-consuming. When she stumbled upon our Coral Terrazzo Design Wall Mural from the Bohemian Wall Mural Collection, the plans changed immediately!
To paint these two walls by hand would probably take a week, whereas self-adhesive wallpaper installation can be done in no time. The result is a stunning boho nursery wallpaper feature that anchors the room. For those wondering, we also have neutral wall murals available.
Furniture Stylization: The IKEA Crib Hack
The furniture selection plays a huge role in the boho chic nursery decor. We feel that this simple baby crib from IKEA will be the next big hit in bohemian-style nurseries!
While white baby cribs have been used in almost every second nursery for a while, we see this particular simple wood one popping up more and more in baby room projects. It is definitely here to stay because it is minimal enough to let the decor shine. The simple light wood crib works wonderfully with the rattan side table and woven baskets, making the room look warm and cozy.
Textiles & Decor: Boho Rainbow Nursery Rugs and Pillows
Even though the floor is quite dark, the area rug from Urban Outfitters makes the room look lighter. We love how the rug has an abstract rainbow pattern, which complements the Terrazzo Wallpaper. Together, they create a subtle boho rainbow nursery theme hint in this interior. Our Colorful Kids Wallpaper collection contains cute rainbow wallpaper if you want to emphasize this theme further!
The Bench Decor and Artisan Touches
We have to mention the cute little bench decor moment! It's so pretty! We especially love this nursing pillow by Ebb & Thread. It is a wonderful company that makes pillows using artisan textiles sourced from around the world—and they are gorgeous!
Make sure to check them out. Interestingly, did you notice that the pillow is the only black element in this nursery? It grounds the otherwise light palette perfectly.
Lighting and Mirrors
This beautiful floor lamp is another favorite of ours. The texture selection of this baby room interior is simply exceptional! We have also noticed a very distinct round mirror trend in nursery settings these past few years, as it appears in almost every baby room we see. It is beautiful and understandable why it is so popular. It reflects light, opens up the space, and definitely makes for a good selfie spot!
5 Steps to Recreate This Boho Nursery Interior
If you are looking for baby girl nursery ideas based on this project, here are the five principles to follow.
1. Stick to an Earthy Color Palette
The interior should be warm and inviting. If you're after a bohemian baby room, warm and earthy tones will be your best choice. The biggest pro of this color scheme is that it is often a boho gender neutral nursery style, meaning it works for boys, girls, or shared rooms.
2. Select Natural Materials
Boho nursery decor relies heavily on nature. Jute, bamboo, wood, and seagrass are all good options. Natural elements like the dried palm leaves seen in this project are also great styling elements that add height and texture.
3. Mix Textures and Textiles
Bohemian style is all about the collection of your wonders - the places you have visited or things you are interested in. To keep it cohesive, unify these different textures (like the wool rug and linen bedding) with a consistent color palette.
4. Bring in Greenery and Plants
Bohemian interiors cannot be complete without greenery. Whether you choose real or faux is your choice, but make sure to add at least one plant to the room. It breathes life into the space and complements the earthy tones.
5. Choose Sustainable Decor
It has become more and more important to choose products that have been sustainably made or sourced. For this purpose, we have specifically chosen vinyl and PVC-free wallpaper materials for safe use in nurseries and kids' rooms. Choosing baby toys and clothing made of natural materials is another way to implement sustainability.
Clever Hacks: Using Wallpaper Leftovers in the Closet
Finally, we wanted to highlight the closet styling in this room. It is always a good idea to save your wallpaper leftovers because they tend to look wonderful in a closet as a feature wall or on the dresser as drawer liners! This small detail ties the closet into the main room, making the entire baby girl nursery theme feel complete and professionally designed. If you’re still deciding on what wallpaper to use, consult our blog post in which we compare peel-and-stick vs. traditional wallpaper.
Final Verdict: Why We Love This Earthy Baby Girl Nursery
This baby room interior is very calming and serene to the eyes. Here is why this style is worth it for your home:
-
It feels naturally peaceful: The mix of warm tones and natural materials, like wood, bamboo, and seagrass, creates a genuinely soothing vibe for both you and your baby.
-
It grows with your child: Unlike specific character themes that they might outgrow quickly, this look relies on timeless furniture and colors that will look great for years to come.
-
It is easy to update: Whether you are planning a pink boho nursery or sticking to neutrals, this simple foundation makes it easy to switch up the style later just by swapping out small accessories like rugs or pillows.
We hope you enjoyed this beautiful nursery! Please don't hesitate to share it with a momma-to-be as inspiration for her upcoming interior remodel, or browse our full kids wallpaper collection.
