Here are the nursery wallpaper themes we believe will keep inspiring South African families well beyond 2025 with the lates from Lily Grace Design.

Soft Neutrals & Pastel Dreams

She’s only little for a while — and her room should feel as gentle as these early days. Pastel and neutral tones are a favourite for good reason. From soft sage to creamy whites and muted pinks, these colours bring a sense of quiet and calm.They work well with natural textures, soft bedding, and simple furniture — and they’ll grow with your child, too.
Soft Florals

Floral wallpaper has always had a place in nurseries, and this year’s styles keep things light and soft. Watercolour roses and botanical patterns add a calm feel without being busy or loud. These designs suit baby girls’ rooms beautifully and blend easily with natural tones and wood finishes.

For the Little Adventurer

Transport-themed wallpaper continues to be a top choice for boys’ rooms — and it’s easy to see why. Vintage airplanes, classic trains, and old-style cars create a playful look that still feels calm and easy to style.

It’s a theme that starts off sweet in the baby years and still works as your child gets older.
Animal Friends

From forest bunnies to gentle safari animals, hand-drawn creatures bring a playful feel to the nursery. These watercolour-style illustrations look like pages from a favourite book — ideal for little ones who grow up loving animals and nature

Whether you’re getting ready for a newborn or updating a toddler’s room, these wallpaper themes keep things soft, personal, and easy to style — so the room grows with your family.
