Cameretta Stampe d’arte

For the wall above a standard cot, we recommend a single 50x70cm print centred about 20-25cm above the top rail. It's big enough to anchor the wall without overwhelming the space, and your little one can actually focus on it from below. If you'd rather create a set, three 30x40cm prints in a horizontal row work beautifully and give you the flexibility to mix themes like animals, botanicals, or typography. Our nursery art prints go up to 70x100cm, which is perfect if you're filling a larger empty wall next to the cot rather than directly above it.

Framed, every time. Nurseries are rooms where things get bumped, and a properly framed print behind acrylic glazing is far more durable (and safer) than a bare print tacked to the wall. Our framed nursery wall art arrives fully assembled with the print already fitted into a solid wood frame with UV-protective acrylic, so there's no fiddling with separate frames that never quite fit. You just hang it straight out of the box. It also looks significantly more polished, which matters when you've put effort into getting the rest of the room right.

The trick is to lean into subject matter with personality rather than defaulting to beige. Animal nursery prints in soft greens, warm ochres, or dusty blues feel genuinely gender neutral without looking washed out. We'd steer you towards illustrated wildlife, abstract shapes, or nature scenes over anything with a pastel rainbow (which tends to date quickly). A set of two or three prints in a consistent style and colour palette will tie the room together and give you a nursery wall that still feels intentional and bold.

The biggest one is hanging art too high. You want the centre of the print roughly at eye level when you're sitting in the nursing chair, not standing. This makes the room feel cosier and means you actually enjoy the art during those 3am feeds. The second mistake is buying cheap framed prints that warp or bubble within weeks because the frame and print weren't fitted together properly. Our nursery prints are made to order on museum-grade paper and arrive ready to hang in solid wood frames, so warping simply isn't an issue. Finally, avoid going too small. A tiny A4 print on a big nursery wall just looks lost.

For a nursery prints set of three, hang them in a horizontal row with about 5cm between each frame, centred on the wall above your main piece of furniture (cot, changing table, or armchair). Keep the bottom edge of the frames at roughly the same height as the top of the furniture to visually connect them. If you're working with two prints, stacking them vertically on a narrow wall beside a wardrobe looks surprisingly good and fills what's usually dead space. Whichever layout you go with, stick to the same frame finish across all prints for a cohesive, modern nursery look.
