Modern Wall Decor Ideas For Kids
When it comes to choosing modern wall decor for your baby’s nursery or child’s room, the quest for finding pieces that are non-toxic, stylish, and long-lasting can feel like an uphill battle. Lucky for us, brands like Anewall, Raccoon Society, GATHRE & L’amour Fou Print Shop are making it a total breeze.
Ready to design your baby’s nursery? Looking for pieces to help make your toddler feel a little more grown up? Searching for wallpaper and prints that will inspire hours of imaginative play?
We’ve got you!
As parents who’ve designed quite a few nurseries and kids rooms in our day, we’ve found that choosing modern, minimalist, and gender-neutral products are best. That’s because they tend to stand the test of time, easily transition from sibling to sibling and work well with already established home aesthetics.
In this article, we’ll go over:
- Materials & ingredients to avoid in baby & kids products
- Wall decor ideas for nurseries and kids room
- Our non-toxic modern wall decor product picks for babies and kids

Materials & ingredients to avoid in baby & kids products
While it may be tempting to start painting a feature wall, sticking on wallpaper and plastering posters in your baby’s nursery or child’s room, you need to remember that not all products are created equal.
It’s one thing to say you’re safe and quite another to actually be safe. At The Tot, we don’t use or recommend anything that hasn’t passed our Tot Safety Test. This means we’ve looked at third-party testing, certifications and ingredients lists to ensure that every product on our site is safe for your family.
When it comes to nursery and kids room decor (this includes paint & wallpaper), we always try to avoid things with:
- Added formaldehyde
- Harmful phthalates
- PVC
- BPA & BPS
- Toxic inks or dyes
- Lead & other heavy metals

Wall decor ideas for nurseries and kids room
As mentioned before – choosing modern, minimalist and neutral wall decor is always a good idea. While it may be cute to plaster your tot’s flavor of the week cartoon character on every surface of their room, chances are they’re going to quickly move on to the next thing and you’ll be stuck staring at Elmo.
Instead, try to find art, wallpaper and hangings that will grow with your child and maybe even transition into another room in your house.
Right now, we’re currently loving:
- Modern kids posters & wall charts from Raccoon Society
- Nursery & kids room prints from L’amour Fou Print Shop
- Non-toxic wallpaper from Anewall
- Leather mats (that can double as wall hangings) from GATHRE
- Modern kids educational posters from Mushie
