Girl, boy or unisex: here are our tips for a soft, evolving and bright baby room, in the Sunshine Wall spirit.
1) Start with the atmosphere: soft, natural, bright
A baby's room is a haven. We favor a light base (linen, off-white, sand) and plant or animal accents to bring life without overstimulation. Explore the Nursery Wallpaper and Foliage Wallpaper collections: delicate patterns, soothing hues, and matte finishes that diffuse light.
2) Reassuring palettes: 3 winning harmonies
Neutral nature
Linen, ecru, light wood + touches of sage green. A Zen and mixed balance. Pair with a very soft beige wallpaper .
Bohemian terracotta
Sand, powdery terracotta, rattan, bouclé wool. Ideal for warming up a north-facing room. A strip of panoramic wallpaper can create a poetic visual cue.
Sage green & eucalyptus
Sage green soothes and envelops. Pair it with ivory textiles and delicate green wallpaper for a soft forest atmosphere.
3) The accent wall that structures the space
A single wall covered in plant-based wallpaper is enough to create a theme. Behind the bed, it frames the sleeping area; near the armchair, it creates a reading nook. Browse our best-selling leaf wallpapers to find the right scale for your design (thin for small rooms, larger if you have more space).
4) Patterns suitable for toddlers: fine, soft, poetic
For a baby's room, opt for low-contrast patterns : light foliage, blades of grass, thin branches, or soft elephants. Misty panoramas or tone-on-tone patterns are reassuring and encourage sleep. Get inspired by our immersive decors.
5) Textiles & materials: comfort above all
Create sensory layers: cotton gauze , washed linen , woven rugs, fluffy throws. Ivory blackout curtains ensure daytime sleep. Natural materials enhance the effect of the patterns and the light palette.
6) Light: soft, indirect, evolving
Choose multiple light sources (amber night light, accent lamp) rather than a harsh ceiling light. The matte finish of our bedroom wallpapers prevents glare, for a subtle photographic effect.
7) Smart storage & evolving area
Incorporate low, open storage so everything is within reach. Include a growing area (changing table → shelf) so the room can grow with the child. A soft pattern or delicate foliage will serve as a backdrop over the years.
8) Mixed, girl, boy: personalize without stereotypes
- Mixed: beige/sage base + light wood + natural mobiles.
- Girl: Add a dusty pink or terracotta shade to textiles.
- Boy: Accent with olive/grey green and rope baskets for storage.
Either way, keep the main wall in soft beige or sage green for a lasting base.
