Tips

Worth doing before you hang it

Keep it soft and playful with gentle colours, friendly characters and a few personal prints.

  • Never above the cot or changing area. Hang beside them with a clear gap, or over a chair or dresser.
  • Shatterproof acrylic, not glass. Keep frames light enough to fix securely.
  • Two fixings per frame. Rated above its weight, re-checked every few months.
  • Start with three to five. Add to the cluster as the room grows with your child.
  • Keep the lowest frame high. Out of reach once your baby is pulling up and toddling.

Where should I hang a gallery wall in a nursery?

Never above the cot or the changing area. Hang it beside them with a clear gap, or over a chair or dresser, so nothing sits above where the baby sleeps or is changed.

Is it safe to hang frames in a nursery?

Yes, with care. Choose lightweight frames, use secure fixings rated for the weight, and consider shatterproof acrylic instead of glass. Keep everything away from the cot and changing area, and check fixings now and then as the room gets daily use.

How many pictures should a nursery gallery wall have?

A relaxed cluster of three to six pieces usually suits a nursery and leaves room to add to it over time.

What art is best for a nursery?

Soft colours, friendly characters, gentle animals and a few personal prints create a calm, playful feel. Choose pieces that can grow with your child rather than very babyish themes, so the wall still works as they move from baby to toddler.
