Another popular theme for the nursery walls, which is at the same time quite absorbing for the child too, is the forest pattern. Complete with trees, animals and birds, the jungle pattern on the nursery walls also serves as a colorful learning aid for the little ones, who will undoubtedly be curious and ask questions about “that big fat thing with a tail on both its ends” or “that big big yellow and black pussy”.

Other quite “in” painting ideas for nursery are the underwater and the primary colors. Not only are these easy to execute, you will get loads to reference materials or stencils to guide you, but they also serve as handy educational tools.

When it comes to painting ideas for nursery, give your imagination a free rein. After all, if you don’t like anything you can always have it painted over. So if you are feeling inspired, put on the apron yourself, choose a theme, take the brush and go on a painting spree. Your themed painting ideas for nursery needn’t stop at cartoon or nursery rhyme characters. You can look to the Bible for inspiration. What about Noah’s Ark? As your baby grows older you can point to the walls around and enlighten him about the Great Floods and other Biblical stories.

If you are looking for eclectic painting ideas for nursery, then setting up murals on the walls is a pretty good idea. You can get an expert to do the job for you, or buy yourself a do-it-yourself mural kit or if you are confident about your artistic skills, do the painting yourself. And if the latter be the case, there’s just no end to the wild, wacky and winsome ideas that you can come up with.

Another easy way out regarding murals is to go in for murals that come in wallpaper sheets. You just need to paste them on the walls to have the look of the nursery changed in the twinkling of an eye.

If individuality be your trademark, then extend it to your baby’s space with some innovative painting ideas for nursery. Take up the brush and pen some lines, your own or famous quotes. Anything that would best describe the nature of your child or what you feel about him/her.

When it comes to painting ideas for nursery, the sky is the limit. For imagination knows no bounds and the more you give vent to your imagination, the more stimulating it is for your child.
