Creating a nursery that feels warm, personal, and full of character is all about the little details. Vintage-inspired art prints from our collections are a perfect way to add that special touch, and how you display them can make all the difference. In this post, we’ll explore unique and creative ways to showcase your favourite prints, helping you craft a nursery that tells a story and feels truly one-of-a-kind.
The Beauty of Thoughtful Display
When it comes to nursery decor, it's not just about what you choose but how you choose to display it. Our vintage-inspired art prints bring a sense of nostalgia and charm, but their impact can be magnified when thoughtfully arranged. The way you display these prints can turn a simple wall into a narrative, making the room feel more intimate and meaningful.
1. Create a Little Gallery of Wonder
Turn a corner of your nursery into a whimsical gallery by arranging your prints at varying heights. Mixing in playful elements like hanging stars, tiny fairy lights, or bunting can create a magical atmosphere. Many of our prints are designed to be mixed and matched across different collections, allowing you to create a cohesive yet unique display. Browse our Curated Collections to find prints that complement each other beautifully, and watch as this little gallery becomes the heart of the room, where every glance tells a new part of the story.
2. Showcase a Baby Name Print as a Focal Point
Our Baby Name Prints are a beautiful way to make your little one’s name the centre-piece of their nursery. Featuring soft watercolour illustrations, these prints include your baby’s name along with a personalised section where you can add birth details or a heartfelt message. Display them in a special spot that draws attention, turning the print into a treasured keepsake that celebrates your child’s arrival.
The mix-and-match options are truly endless, as most of our prints from all Collections blend seamlessly together. This offers you ultimate creative freedom to curate a gallery that beautifully reflects your little one’s unique personality and style.

3. Tuck Prints into Dreamy, Semi-Hidden Spots
Add an element of surprise and charm by tucking prints into semi-hidden spots on shelves or behind glass cabinet doors. Pair these prints with small trinkets or fairy lights to create a layered, whimsical look that feels like a secret world waiting to be discovered. We've created a whole world of sweet little characters who would love nothing more than to peep out and say hello to your little one, adding a touch of magic to their space.
We adore the way this print has been styled in such a subtle but sweet way. It really captures the charm of a vintage tea party, effortlessly blending with the warm tones and nostalgic feel of the cupboard. The delicate teacup print adds a touch of whimsy to the shelf, creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere that feels both timeless and endearing.

4. Use Vintage Frames for a Personal Touch
Repurpose old frames or explore our Vintage Style Frame + Print Bundles that come with frame suggestions to add an authentic touch to your prints. The frames themselves can become part of the story, with their unique details and aged beauty complementing the artwork. This approach gives your nursery a curated, collected-over-time feel, making each piece even more special.
5. Create a Rotating Art Wall
To keep things fresh and ever-changing, consider creating a rotating art wall. Use clipboards, wooden rails with clips, or even a floating shelf to easily swap out prints as your child grows or as your mood changes.
6. Incorporate Prints into Functional Decor
For a more integrated look, incorporate your vintage-inspired prints into functional decor. For instance, attach a small print to the front of a vintage-inspired storage chest or pop it inside a journal for safekeeping.
If you're feeling crafty, you could create a mixed media bunting to display your prints. Combine fabric, paper, and embellishments like fabrics or ribbons with your prints to create a unique and textured bunting. You can stitch or glue the prints onto the bunting for a personalised touch.
Bringing It All Together
The way you choose to display your vintage-inspired art prints can transform your nursery into a space that feels uniquely yours. By thinking creatively and embracing a mix of styles and arrangements, you can create a room that not only looks beautiful but also tells a story, one that your child will grow up with and treasure for years to come.
