Designing a nursery is one of the most exciting parts of preparing for a new baby. From soft colour palettes to beautiful décor details, every choice contributes to creating a space that feels calm, comforting and personal. But according to Sasi Wallpaper co-owner Taryn, there’s one piece of advice she always shares with clients:
“Choose a nursery print you love because you are the one who will spend the most time in that room.”
While nurseries are designed for babies, they quickly become spaces where parents spend countless hours feeding, rocking, reading, soothing and simply taking in those quiet moments. The wallpaper you choose should therefore feel just as inspiring and comforting for you as it does for your child.
Nursery Design Has Shifted
Over the past few years, nursery interiors have evolved beautifully. Parents are moving away from overly themed spaces and leaning towards interiors that feel timeless, layered and connected to the rest of the home. Wallpaper has become one of the easiest ways to create warmth and personality without overwhelming the room.
At Sasi Wallpaper, nursery spaces are increasingly featuring:
- Soft botanical prints
- Neutral textured wallpapers
- Whimsical murals
- Nature-inspired designs
- Gentle tones with timeless appeal
These designs create calming environments while still feeling elevated and stylish.
Creating a Space You Enjoy Too
Taryn believes the nursery should feel like a sanctuary for both parent and baby. Since
parents naturally spend the most time in the room, selecting a wallpaper that reflects your personal style makes the experience far more enjoyable.
Whether it’s a soft linen-look texture, a dreamy landscape mural, or delicate palm-inspired prints, the goal is to create a room that feels peaceful every time you walk into it.
“A nursery should never feel temporary,” says Taryn. “It should feel like a beautiful extension of your home, somewhere you genuinely love spending time.”
Wallpaper That Grows With Your Child
One of the biggest advantages of choosing timeless nursery wallpaper is longevity.
Beautifully selected prints can transition seamlessly from newborn spaces into toddler rooms and beyond.
Rather than choosing something trend-driven or overly childlike, many homeowners are
opting for designs that evolve with the room over time. This makes wallpaper not only a
design choice, but also a long-term investment in the home.
