Baby Room Decor With Butterflies

baby room decor with butterflies

Whether you’re decorating a baby girl’s room, a baby boy’s room, or a gender-neutral space, these sweet butterfly nursery ideas will bring your theme together. From a gilded butterfly chandelier to a simple embroidered butterfly pillow, these fluttering touches will brighten the whole space and create an air of whimsical charm.

Even a small nursery can get some major decor wow factor from a painted mural. Here, a bold jungle mural with cute cartoon animals is the focal point in this gender-neutral space, but it’s balanced out by neutral furniture and decor, including a framed whale picture that doubles as wall art. The room is topped off by a coordinating flamingo rug, which is not only plush and pretty but also washable for ease of maintenance.

A single, dramatic color on the walls and ceiling is a great way to make a small space feel bigger. It’s a trick that works with any room, but it’s especially effective in a tiny nursery. This butterfly-themed nursery is a case in point: The vibrant blue paint on the panel wall is echoed by the color of the curtains, blanket, and fluttery pink teddy bear. The fluttering butterflies on the ceiling are an added touch of whimsy and a nod to nature.

Painting a ceiling in a color other than the walls is another way to give a small room some extra visual interest. That’s what this mom did in this nursery, and it made all the difference. The pink butterfly ceiling looks like it’s flying right above the crib, making for a charming focal point that baby will love to stare at when he gets older.

One of our favorite baby room ideas for a gender-neutral space is this elegant treescape that feels both modern and earthy at the same time. It would look just as lovely in a blush pink, sky blue, or any other pastel, depending on the direction you choose to take your nursery.

If you can’t decide on a specific direction for your nursery, try using artwork as inspiration instead of themed soft furnishings that will only last a few months. The oversized gold abstract butterfly art in this baby girl’s nursery is both modern and feminine, and it can easily be matched with a few pieces of coordinating butterfly artwork or a gold butterfly lamp.

For a more feminine approach to butterfly decor, go for a bold patterned wallpaper. This girl’s room is a gorgeous example, and the white walls serve as a clean canvas for the bright fluttering prints. The pink flamingo rug is another fun element that makes the room pop, and we’re big fans of Lorena Canals rugs because they are plush, washable, and adorable (and super easy to maintain). You can find them in this pink polka-dot and also this beautiful floral pattern. Both are available in a wide range of sizes.
