Baby Airplane Theme Nursery Room Decorating Ideas and DIY Decor Craft Projects

On this page we have both modern and vintage airplane theme nursery decorating ideas, DIY crafts and decor that you must see before you begin your project.  Mothers of baby boys have been so generous in sharing their photos as well as tutorials for DIY painting and sewing projects.  Imagine my delight when a mother sent in a picture of her baby girl's airplane nursery.

The room was very modern, stylish and with very few modifications could be gender neutral and made ready for the next baby boy or baby girl's arrival. What a pleasant reminder it was to me that there are just as many female pilots as there are male flying the friendly skies.


What this means to those of us who focus on nursery decorating trends and decor rather than flight maps is that the popularity of the (already popular) airplane nursery theme is likely to become even more popular as time passes.

Jett's mom and dad have an appreciation of modern aircraft as well as the history of planes as evidenced in their collection of vintage airplanes on display in their baby boy's nursery.


This mom and dad chose a preppy, red, navy blue and grey color combination for their son's airplane themed nursery.

Airplane Baby Bedding
I failed to find a cute set of airplane baby bedding for a baby girl. All of the crib quilts had fabric for an airplane theme nursery were better suited for a boy in navy or baby blue, brown and other masculine colors. Remember the nursery that was decorated for a baby girl that I mentioned earlier? If you will take a close look at the picture, you will notice that the nursery has been decorated using a black, olive green and white crib set as an inspiration piece.

Airplane Themes
Two of the most popular pilots flying planes in nurseries are Disney's Mickey Mouse and Snoopy in Red Baron. Snoopy is an excellent choice if you happen to have a collection of vintage WWII fighter plane models.

Paint a cloud mural on the nursery walls and use it as a background for some cheap airplane stickers from the era of your choosing in colors that complement the fabric in your nursery bedding.

Airplane Baby Bedding
At the time of this article, I failed to find a cute set of airplane baby bedding for a baby girl. All of the crib quilts had fabric with more than a little baby blue, brown and other boy oriented colors. Remember the nursery that was decorated for a baby girl that I mentioned earlier? If you will take a close look at the picture, you will notice that the nursery has been decorated using a black, olive green and white crib set as an inspiration piece. Buy or make your own homemade airplane crib mobile using model airplanes that someone special made during their childhood (keeping them safely out of baby's reach, of course).

Frame travel posters or postcards advertising air travel opportunities from an era that is appropriate to your airplane theme nursery decor.
