Baby blue provides a beautiful foundation for the earth tones that are often associated with fall such as dark chocolate brown, rust and a shade of green that is richer than those of spring or summer. These color combinations are vibrant and perfect for baby boy nursery themes.

Rustic Homemade Nursery Décor

Homemade quilts, decorations and furnishings are often seen in nurseries decorated for fall as this is the season when crafts are used to fill time and keep our hands busy during the longer nights.


Parents often make good use of their DIY skills and free crib plans to make their baby's first bed. The crisp temperatures make time spent in the woodworking shop more comfortable.

Forest Creatures Play a Part in Our Autumn Nursery Ideas

Forest Animals Baby Nursery Ideas

A red fox adds a pop of bright color to complement the earth tones of fall.

The bright fur of a fox reflects the warm tones of fall leaves where earth-tone squirrels, raccoons, badgers and the like blend into the background. One of the most creative yet least expensive autumn baby nursery ideas would be to make your own homemade baby mobile using a tree branch decorated with ornaments in animal shapes. Shop the sales after Christmas for tree ornaments that can be attached to the branch.

Owl Nursery Ideas

Wise old owls are the exception to baby forest animals best left to the colors seen in nature; owls are adorable in practically any color.


White owls on navy blue really stand out in a baby boy's nursery and pink ones are cute as can be for a baby girl's room. Owls of any color have been used with great success in decorating for several years and show no signs of slowing down or becoming any less popular in the near future.
