  Expectant parents want everything to be perfect for their new baby, especially the nursery. Enhancing the walls of your baby's room personalizes the space and makes it a soothing environment for the child and the family. Creating ideas for your baby's nursery walls requires a bit of thought and planning.
  
  

Artwork

• Purchase artwork specifically tailored to children and nurseries, or create your own artwork to hang on the walls of the nursery. If you are a painter, paint scenes that fit well with the furnishings you have chosen for the nursery and that would be interesting for your baby to look at. Another way to approach creating your own artwork is to create artwork in a graphics program and then printed it on posters or canvases. Take a look at online companies like CafePress or Zazzle that offer both these services.
  
  

Cartoon Characters

• Purchase wallpaper and boarders with cartoon designs on them. Alternately, create your own cartoon designs in a graphics program and have them printed on wallpaper and boarders for placement on nursery walls. Another option is to find free clip art online to use on wall paper. You may also want to intermix baby or family photos in a collage design with cartoon images to create a custom poster to hang on a wall.
  
  

Mural Designs

• Create murals on each wall in your nursery. Stencils can be used to create a variety of design patterns or to create a border around a central design. Ideas include a flower garden mural with a mother pushing her child on a swing or a train-themed mural with cartoon characters or animals as passengers. Whatever your design, it is vital that you first draw out your ideas on paper. Use sheets of tracing paper to transfer your design onto the walls. Some families may choose to hire a professional painter to design and paint a wall mural.
