Baby Wall Hangings For The Nursery

While choosing decorations for the nursery walls, baby wall hangings can add interesting accents and textures among framed posters and prints. Generally, the term, “baby wall hangings” refers to non-traditional art, that is not a standard square or rectangle in a frame. It may be tapestry style piece, hung from a ribbon or string; it may be photo frames, dangling from a plaque.

Cloth Wall Hangings

Giving the baby's room a homespun feel, baby wall hangings made of cloth may be stitched or quilted in a design matching the colors or theme of the nursery. It is not necessary to be crafty to make use of this kind of décor. Beautifully crafted baby wall hangings are available at department stores and craft fairs, and anywhere nursery furnishings are sold. These can even be interactive, with pieces attached by Velcro, which can be removed or manipulated. This is a great feature for an Advent calendar or a jungle scene.

Wall Plaques

Plaques with poems, adages, or even the baby's birth announcement information are popular baby wall hangings. They are often non-traditional shapes, and may have pictures or photographs embedded in them. They can be made out of wood, metal, or resin; consumers may choose colorful plaques or naturally stained wood.

Functional Wall Hangings

Advent calendars, growth charts, and Alphabet charts are all examples of “functional” baby wall hangings. Their primary purpose is décor, but there is an educational or practical value to them as well. These hangings can be made out of any number of materials, including cloth, wood, treated paper, or resin. They come in a myriad of colors, designs, and themes or you can choose to make it yourself. As the baby grows, these can serve as stimulus for his young brain.

Toys on the Wall

Baby wall hangings can be fun as well as decorative. Cloth wall hangings can hold multiple toys in pockets sewn across the front of them. Various wall hangings come with a drawstring that can be pulled to make the piece play music until the drawstring winds down. Baby wall hangings can even be teddy bears or dolls that can be dressed and redressed with Velcro outfits.
