After purchasing the big items off our nursery registry we hvae begun putting together ideas for her room and have settled on an animal nursery theme. While we know it’s a girl I do not want pink absolutely everywhere and seeing all of the different inspiration, animals felt like a good theme. However, there are SO many things to choose from. as we rent our flat (LINK) we have decided not to do anything too aggressive with the walls. Thus after looking at a myriad of framed print options and murals we have decided to go for a removable mural. You will have to wait to see which one we picked but it has already arrived and I am very excited to put it up but our building has confirmed they will paint the walls in her room (as part of a refresh they are doing) next week so we will have to wait a bit more time to put it up.
As someone who likes to plan this makes me a bit anxious as I would love to get the space complete but it is nice they are going to do this for free and we do want to make sure the mural sticks to the wall well. While we wait for this to happen I have been scouring Pinterest, Etsy, blogs, and more to find animal nursery inspiration and wanted to share some of the gorgeous designs and pieces I have found.

Some of the items above are from Etsy, Dunelm, and Pottery Barn that you can purchase directly but I have also linked a handful of items below to make it a bit easier. Once we have all of the big pieces in place I also imagine we will add physical animals, starting with small stuffed animals (mark is partial to Jellycat) and then maybe some life size ones if we have the space and it fits with the rest of the decor. Take a look:
1 | Melissa & Doug Giant Giraffe – Lifelike Stuffed Animal (it is over 4 feet tall!)
2 | John Lewis Safari Animal Changing Mat
3 | Pottery Barn Kids Elephant Nursery Rocker

What do you think of this animal nursery inspiration?
Charlene says
The stuffed giraffe reminds me of those Toys R Us ads that were always on TV. It looks so real and what an adorable face.
Cute ideas you have shown and your little girl is lucky to have you as such a creative mom. She will be so loved.
Sandy says
Can’t decide what is my favoirte, the elephant rocking chair which is just too adorable or the mobile? So many great finds you have uncovered!
You have such great taste that I know it will be perfect for your little bundle.
TAMMY says
I love this. Babies and Animals is a great mix. I cuddle with little bears too when boyfriend is not around when I am sleeping. He buys me little bears and when I am too hot he cuddles with them too.
Hilary says
The Melissa & Doug Giant Giraffe – Lifelike Stuffed Animal would certainly be a show stopper in any nursery and is so soft and cozy looking. I also really like the little monkey curtain holder and would put a smile on my face every time I saw it.
People are so clever with what they come up with these days…
Looking forward to seeing your finished product.
Claire says
So many cute ideas… love the two giraffe prints and those clothes hangers with the sizes.
I wish I had had those as my daughter missed wearing a few outfits as she was too big for them when I got them out of the baby gift piles.
Good luck.
