Baby Boy Nursery Tour: National Parks Theme Nursery
Need baby boy nursery inspo? Let me introduce you to my latest passion project. I had so much fun decorating this nursery for my new baby boy. Welcoming him into this space was a dream come true. I hope you love the nursery just as much as I do!
This summer, my family and I welcomed a new member – baby Theodore, or Teddy as we call him. I had the best time putting together this baby boy nursery for him to come home to.
Teddy’s nursery is something I’ve been dreaming about for years. I always knew I wanted to do a national parks theme, and this summer, I got to make that dream a reality!
I had a blast putting this room together; it truly was a labor of love. We had so many friends and family members help me transform this space; it’s almost overwhelming!
I am so thankful to my loved ones for helping turn an overcrowded craft room into my dream baby boy nursery. I couldn’t have done it without them.
My baby boy’s nursery turned out even better than I could’ve imagined. This is the perfect space for my little Teddy Bear to grow up in!
Get ready for the grand tour!

Decorating this baby boy nursery definitely took some time, but the results are so worth the effort!
I’m so happy with the theme, color palette, and customized details I added to this room. It’s filled with special little touches that are playful, calming, and filled with a whole lot of love.
Let’s take a look!
Decorating the walls
I wanted to include some sort of forest imagery in Teddy’s nursery to fit with a national park motif.
I found this beautiful pine tree wallpaper mural on Etsy. The watercolor pines are beyond stunning and make such a great statement piece for the room.
The wallpaper is also handmade for an extra special touch. Bonus – it comes in a peel-and-stick formula for super easy application. I have an entire post on peel-and-stick wallpaper if you’re interested!
Another wonderful addition to my baby boy’s nursery wall – a custom welcome to our adventure sign. This wall feature fits the theme perfectly, and I love that I was able to customize it with baby Theodore’s name.
Baby boy nursery decor
Decorating is, obviously, a huge passion of mine. So when it came to decorating Teddy’s nursery, I didn’t hold back!
I filled the room with lots of nature-inspired decor in colors that pop but still resemble the natural world.
One of my favorite features is this adorable woodland mobile. I feel like it totally encapsulates what it’s like to camp under the stars with its sweet evergreen trees, snow-topped mountain, and starry night sky.
Because nature is such a big part of this baby boy nursery, I was inspired to include several green features. I chose these linen blackout curtains in a sage green color to help block out natural light and add color to the space.
Nursery furniture
When choosing Teddy’s crib, I wanted something that was both visually appealing and functional. I chose the Child Craft Soho convertible crib in the white/natural shade.
This crib has 4 different functions – crib, toddler bed, day bed, and full-size bed. It’s super important to me to pick up pieces that will grow with Teddy in an effort to make more sustainable choices (not to mention economical!).
To accessorize Teddy’s crib, I picked up this premium\foam crib mattress and crib mobile arm.
I also purchased the matching dresser from the Soho collection to complete the set.
Baby boy nursery linens
If you’re a parent, you know you can never have enough linens around. I went a little linen crazy with these woodland creature-themed crib sheets.
I wanted lots of options, so I chose sets with sweet foxes, bears and stags, and assorted forest animals.
Of course, I had to have an equally fun changing mat. I chose this changing mat cover with lovely mountain ranges in natural tones.
Perhaps my favorite linen in Teddy’s entire nursery is this reversible quilt with all sorts of national parks on it. When I first saw this quilt, I couldn’t believe it; the way it matches the theme is almost too good to be true!
Nursery extras
I included a couple of extras on my baby registry this time around that I thought would be super useful in Teddy’s nursery.
The first one is this Hatch mini white noise machine that is designed specifically with babies and children in mind.
White noise is such a helpful tool to help you sleep at night. This machine has 8 sound options, including wind, rain, heartbeat, and birds.
It also has a custom timer that can be operated from a distance by a smartphone; this is super handy when trying to sneak out of the baby’s room unnoticed.
A slightly less glamorous but even more handy extra is this Dekor Plus hands-free diaper pail.
I feel like parents are often 50/50 on these kinds of products. Personally, I find this hands-free bin super helpful.
Final thoughts: Baby boy nursery tour
I hope you love Baby Teddy’s nursery as much as I do. Planning and decorating this room was such an amazing experience.
And though the nursery is filled with so many beautiful things, I think the most beautiful part is all the love my friends and family poured into its creation.
I think our love for baby Teddy really shines through.
