Nursery Murals
A nursery mural is one of the most personal choices in the house — a single scene that sets the tone for the whole room. Applied Coverings prints every nursery mural on zero-VOC peel-and-stick material as well as our other finishes, scaled to your exact wall dimensions so a whimsical scene fills the wall without a repeat pattern breaking up the illustration.
Mural styles that work well in nurseries
Children's and nursery motifs — gentle, illustrated scenes designed specifically for nurseries and kids' rooms are the most requested category here.
Botanical and floral — soft floral or leaf murals in muted palettes suit a calm, gender-neutral nursery.
Animals and wildlife — a woodland or safari scene is a nursery classic, especially as a full crib-wall mural.
Landscape and nature — a dreamy, softly rendered landscape works as a calming backdrop for a nursery.
Sizing a mural to your nursery wall
Because a mural is a single image rather than a repeating pattern, Applied Coverings scales your chosen design — or an uploaded illustration — to the exact width and height of your nursery wall, whether that's a full crib wall or a single accent behind the changing table. Larger murals print in panels with a 1" overlap between each one, hung left to right in numbered order; an optional double-cut technique creates a tight, flush seam that's typically invisible at normal viewing distance.

Frequently asked questions about nursery wall murals
Is nursery mural material safe for babies?
Peel & Stick Canvas and Peel & Stick Linen are both zero-VOC, making them the recommended choice for nursery walls. Neither requires paste or off-gasses after installation.
Can I upload my own photo or illustration for a nursery mural?
Yes. Applied Coverings' custom upload tool accepts high-resolution JPEG, PNG, and TIFF files. Enter your wall dimensions and we scale and print your design as a single image.
Do nursery murals have visible seams?
Larger murals print in panels with a 1" overlap between each one. An optional double-cut technique creates a tight, flush seam that's typically invisible at normal viewing distance.
Can a nursery mural be removed later without damaging the wall?
Yes, if installed on Peel & Stick Canvas or Peel & Stick Linen. Both remove cleanly without tearing paint or leaving adhesive residue — useful once a child outgrows a nursery theme.
