Nursery Wallpaper: Calm, Timeless Designs - Made in Your Colour Way
A Gentle Start
There's real tenderness in decorating a nursery. It's a room made with love and anticipation, and the loveliest ones feel calm, soft and timeless — a gentle backdrop to those first quiet months rather than a busy, themed space. A soft meadow, a scatter of stars, gentle woodland animals or a delicate ditsy print: these are the designs that soothe a little one and grow with them, turning a nursery into a room the whole family loves to be in.
At Claret & Key, every design is drawn in-house and printed to order in your chosen colour way, so you can create a nursery that's serene and entirely your own, made especially for you in our Cheshire studio.
Designs for a nursery
Calm and characterful is the balance to aim for. A wildflower meadow or a soft floral feels gentle and nature-led. Woodland creatures and friendly animals bring quiet charm and things to discover. A starry sky is soothing for bedtime. And a delicate ditsy print or a fine stripe keeps things soft and timeless. Because these designs are gentle rather than garish, they carry a nursery beautifully into a toddler's room and beyond.
Gender-neutral, or a gentle palette
Because we print to order, the colour is entirely yours — which makes it wonderfully easy to keep a nursery gender-neutral if you'd like to. Soft sage greens, gentle blues, warm creams and neutrals, and the palest blush all create a calm, restful room. Whatever you choose, it's printed in your shade, so the nursery feels exactly as serene as you imagined.
Safe and sound
A nursery is a room your baby breathes in day and night, so materials matter more than anywhere. All our wallpaper is FSC-approved, PVC-free and VOC-free, free from the volatile compounds that can affect air quality — safe and sound for the littlest rooms. And with Traditional, Heavy-Grade and Removable peel-and-stick finishes, you can choose the classic, the hard-wearing or the easy-to-restyle option as your family grows.

This wallpaper is just gorgeous! I used the one that requires glue and it was super easy to i stall. One roll was enough for a 6’ wide laundry closet with 7’5” ceilings. Even on our orange peel walls it set beautifully. I did this behind our new washer dryer set up in our laundry closet with white oak cabinets and it’s perfect! Highly recommend!
Truly love this wallpaper. Looks amazing in both our bathroom (the original project) and as an accent in the back of a cabinet (what we did with the extra). Everyone who sees it comments on how classy and beautiful it is. For these reasons five stars!
However I do want to call out two concerns:
1. The online "calculator" on the site recommend nine roles, which seemed excessive for our less than 100 sq ft bathroom. I even reached out to support to double check and they said to go by the calculator. I'm glad I didn't because I ended up ordering five roles and only needing 4. I will say returning the 5th role was a pretty smooth process, so kudus to Claret and Key for that.
2. Strangely the "autumn" color with pale nutmeg background reads more green than brown in certain light. With bright overhead light it comes across as the soft brown we intended, but in natural light it reads much more green. Not anything to terrible just unexpected.
Beautiful paper! Our decorator commented on its quality and how nice and easy it was to work with compared to other wallpaper he had used in the past. Thank you.
So in love with this wallpaper. We wanted a cosy cottage bedroom vibe so we chose the Eloise. It’s such a pretty design that completely transformed the space. The wallpaper is such great quality .We have very uneven walls but didn’t have any issues. Hanging it was a joy. Highly recommend.
We used Blanche to paper some built in wardrobes that double up as room dividers. It was brilliant to be able to sample several background colour options and we are delighted with the finished result
Thank you. Fabulous Wallpaper.
Great quality paper and easy to hang.
The design is so rich in colour and adds such decadence to my dressing area. Now for the finishing touches.
Poor customer service - rolls are only available as one off 10m runs, so if you need 11m.. unfortunately you’ll be paying double for a second roll! Unless your walls are 8m or less, I’d avoid. Wrongly assumed Claret & Key would be slightly more compassionate about the situation and even help with a slightly discounted second roll, considering we only needed 1m. How wrong we were!
Store owner replied:
Hi Emily,
I'm sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the service.
We sell our wallpaper by the roll, and we are unable to manufacture shorter rolls. This will be the same for most manufacturers as 10m rolls are standard, and most rooms require more than 1 roll to complete the job.
Thanks,
Claret & Key
I really loved this paper and thought it would look nice in my attic space. Delighted with the end result. Great service, excellent quality of paper and it really transforms the room. The eves are very low so the space was not utilised so making a feature with the wallpaper has created a cosy space to relax in. Thank you. M
Love this wallpaper. It’s just enough to show a statement but not so loud that it overpowers the space. Being able to pick the color is such a great thing also. You’re not stuck with 5 options so it can match your style and colors of your space. Would recommend to anyone looking for wallpaper. Very happy and my installer said its super easy to install this pattern.
This wallpaper is thick and sturdy. It’s very easy to work with and easy to apply. It was my first time hanging wallpaper and this paper was very forgiving. Great product!
