Choosing whimsical nursery art is one of the most delightful ways to make your baby’s room feel special. At A Duck Amuck, we believe that nursery walls should do more than match the furniture—they should tell a story, spark imagination, and bring a little joy to the everyday.
Our art prints are filled with playful sea creatures, bold lines, and abstract forms that dance between fantasy and memory. Whether you're creating an ocean nursery theme, need gender-neutral nursery wall art, or want a gift that feels meaningful and creative, our collection is designed to grow alongside your child.

Use Wall Art to Anchor the Nursery Theme
Wall art is one of the easiest—and most impactful—ways to bring your nursery theme to life. Unlike furniture or paint, art can evolve with your child and be reimagined as they grow.
For example, our Elephant Wearing a Backpack and Fish Blobs No. 1 prints work beautifully in both animal-themed nurseries and modern spaces. They’re bold enough to catch a baby’s eye, yet timeless enough to stay on the wall long past toddlerhood.
Pro Tip: Hang 2–3 framed prints above the crib or changing table for a cozy, gallery feel.
Choose a Style That Inspires Wonder
At A Duck Amuck, our nursery wall art isn't just “cute.” It's creative, a little mischievous, and full of hand-drawn details meant to grow your child’s visual vocabulary.
Popular picks for modern nurseries include:
- Curly Owl - a whimsical blue owl drawn with curls and coils
- Fish Blobs No. 1 – A joyful underwater scene filled with playful fish forms
- Elephant Wearing a Backpack – An adventurous elephant ready for school
Make It Personal and Meaningful
Many of our collectors choose art for their nurseries not just for looks—but because the work means something to them.
Some are parents who want to pass on their love of the ocean. Others are looking for nursery gifts that feel thoughtful and one-of-a-kind.
That’s why each piece in our nursery decor collection is printed on archival-quality paper, made to last, and designed to bring delight to both adults and children.
Framing Tip: A simple white or natural wood frame keeps the art looking fresh and airy, while still grounding your color palette.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of art is best for a nursery?
Look for prints with bright, engaging visuals that are joyful but not overstimulating. Art that sparks curiosity and imagination—like underwater animals, abstract shapes, or whimsical creatures—is ideal.
Is nursery art safe to hang above a crib?
Always hang frames securely with proper wall anchors. We recommend placing art just above the crib but out of baby’s reach, or using lightweight materials in case of accidents.
What’s the best way to create a gender-neutral nursery?
Start with versatile color palettes like aqua, yellow, coral, and green. Choose art that focuses on creativity, movement, and joy—rather than stereotypical themes. Our ocean-themed and animal prints are a great place to start!
