BABY BOY ROOM DECOR
Jump ahead to...
Alright, so I know Jack is not a baby boy anymore–goodness, he’s almost three but he is still happily in his crib and he will be in this room until we (if we do) have a fourth baby. The great thing about this room is perfect for a boy and can easily be turned into a big boy room by replacing the crib with a bookcase, and Jack can sleep in the big boy bed that’s already in there.

FRENCH BLUE BOY NURSERY
I always love french blue and white, and together with a touch of navy, it makes the perfect baby boy nursery decor! If we have a girl in the future, we can always just add pink pillows, pink bedding, and some cute girly accents but right now this is all baby boy room!

ACCENT WALL
After seeing the Hunt Slonem Bunnies fabric and wallpaper which retails for ($493/double roll), I knew I wanted something similar, and lucky me, I was able to find it at an affordable price from Spoonflower (c/o). The bunnies wallpaper has become my favorite thing in our entire house and I am over the moon with how it turned out! It is the perfect nursery accent wall!
I am constantly amazed by all the amazing unique wallpaper and fabrics I can find online Spoonflower.com. I’ve used their amazing fabrics for the upholstered rocking chair in our girls shared bedroom, our DIY Headboard in our master bedroom, and fabric and gift wrap in our playroom decor (all unsponsored and I paid full-price).
But, the Blue Bunnies Bunny Rabbits wallpaper (c/o) takes the cake on the biggest impact–it has completely transformed this room! And as cute as it is (and perfect for baby boy room decor,) I know it will age well for a big boy room too!
PILLOWS
To bring the bunnies in and the other side of the room, I added a beautiful pillow from Spoonflower’s sister company in the same fabric, Roostery. It brings the theme to the other side of the room, ties into french blue, white, and navy bedding.

ARTWORK
You can’t have a baby boy nursery without some animals, right? Well, we wove a theme of nature in the animal photographs on the wall, the blue and white bunny accent wall, the butterfly wall decor–which adds a fun touch of color and ties in the multi-color artwork above the rocking chair and the multi-colored pom poms on the baskets.
The animal-theme is perfect for Jack’s personality because this boy LOVES animals! He spends hours lining up his animal figurines and his favorite place in the world is our local zoo. We go once a week at least!
FURNITURE & STORAGE
In the future, we might switch out the vintage changing table with a white campaign style dresser; but, for now it works great! I store diapering toiletries in the two drawers (Anthropologie knobs) and diapers, dirty clothes, and books in the baskets below. On top of the vintage changing table (really it used to be a vanity table), we display all of Jack’s favorite toys (see all of our favorite toys here.)
BOOKCASE & BOOK LEDGE
The bookcase and DIY book ledge provides lots of storage for our favorite children’s books and adds pops of colors with the book covers. The kids love being able to see the covers of all their books and it’s held up really well over the last three years. Plus, the books are cheap nursery decor!
CURTAINS
See how we made his DIY pelmet box here. We added the french blue grosgrain ribbon curtains to tie-in with the DIY Upholstered Headboard and the frame border duvet.
CRIB BEDDING & BED
Like I said above, Jack is still happily in his crib and so far has only tried to climb out once. I think he feels like it’s his own little nest! Down the line, we will transition him to the big boy bed (and probably build it into a trundle bed). If we use the room again as another nursery, then we will keep the crib in the same place.
Our crib is an inexpensive Ikea Gulliver crib upgraded with this crib bedding (and I have matching sheets for the single bed as well).

I just spent the morning in our nursery, so I loved opening my computer to see this post! You have made this room into such a dreamy space for your boy.
I adore that accent wall!! It is gorgeous! And I love how you fit a bed and crib in his room! So functional!
That French blue color is my JAM – as with everything you do, it’s perfectly executed. I really want to hire you to come live with me for a week and come up with ideas to update my spaces. Your attention to detail and impeccable style is AMAZING.
You know what I NEED your next post to be about? How to keep linens white when you have children! I love a nice crisp white bed, and used to have one, but am too terrified of dirty fingers and toddlers who climb beds with shoes on. HOW how how how how do you keep your bedding so white?!
I love this room! The arrangement of the furnitures lets the empty space in the center of the room that allows freedom of movement and the bed near the window is gorgeous!
The colours are so calm and the furnitures very romantic. I think that every mother is dreaming this room for her boy. Thank you for the ideas!!!
Oh thank you so much Mary! Yes, we love to keep the center of the room open for playspace! Thanks so much!
HAHAHA! Lots of washing! We use charlie’s laundry detergent (same as what we use for cloth diapers). I use Oxi-Clean stain remover on any spots, and I usually wash our all-white sheets on high (or whitest-whites). These Boll & Branch sheets recommend using cold wash, so I will see how that goes. Seriously, all of our bedding is all white–even the kids. ALl our towels are white too and it makes everything easier. I can always bleach anything out too!

Thank you so much Tiffany! Yes, the extra bed has come in handy when Jack goes through phases of having nightmares, and even Bowie slept in it a couple nights when we had company. We are going to DIY a trundle with a bedskirt in there soon so we can sleep even more 🙂 I would love to have a room which could fit all three kids if needed.
