Rustic Log Cabin Nursery for a Baby Boy

The logs and chinking between are what give country style baby nursery themes such a unique look but if you feel a few wall decorations are in order, you should know that the rules of rustic wall decor are basically that there are no rules! Anything from a pretty tin dish, a quilt or a broom might have been proudly displayed on the walls of the old homestead.


You might make a wreath out of pine cones or other natural materials decorated with a ribbon to match the baby's bedding or crib quilt.

Choosing the right crib set is just the beginning.

Decorating the walls, windows and floor of the space is the next step.


You might up your recycling efforts and panel the nursery walls with wood reclaimed from pallets or paint a mural featuring whitetail deer, mallards and other woodland creatures.

A soft, baby bear area rug will be in keeping with your theme while giving your little one a place to play.


These rugs make lovely photo props as well as playing a role in your nursery's decor.

Plush bears are also favorites as photo props and rainy day playmates for little ones.

Imagine your baby boy or girl posing for a portrait with these black bear baby nursery decorations.

The bear holding the moon wall light can easily be replaced by a toddler for a photo shoot.

If you are shooting for a truly authentic rustic look that doesn't look as if you bought all of the decorations at the local baby boutique, shop your local consignment or thrift store for vintage items.

Rustic Bear Baby Nursery Ideas

A custom brown bear baby bedding set sewn with plaid fabrics give the space a classic look.


To brighten things up, throw some framed kids cartoon moose pictures, baby bear or deer pictures in the mix alongside your quilts and other decorations on the nursery walls. Cabin nursery decor will also give daddy a chance to display his collection of vintage fishing lures or canoe paddles (out of your baby's reach, of course).

LIGHTING and LAMPS
At the crafts show, look for hand carved wooden switch plates and perhaps a deer antler chandelier to go with your lodge style baby bedding set!

For lighting, an excellent baby nursery decorating idea would be to make your own hunting lodge style nursery chandelier from naturally shed antlers that you have collected yourself in the forest. If you're not into do it yourself projects, find one that's ready made. If you have not had the proper training and education, it would be wise not to deal with wiring electrical fixtures. If you have a chandelier in place that you feel you must work with, it's easy to change the shades.

A rustic moose or bear baby nursery theme is one of the very best backgrounds for Christmas decorating as . With your pine cones, greenery and twinkle lights the bedroom is ready for the holidays! Magazines filled with pictures of rustic lodge decor ideas are readily available at any book store.

You can recreate the most generic fixture by the installation of rustic themed shades that feature the profiles of moose, grizzly bears, or pine cones for your baby's first room. If you have any extra camouflage hunting items lying about, these can be incorporated into your theme as a layer of added texture. Any outdoors enthusiast will welcome some Realtree or Mossy Oak print draperies, window shades and other functional indoor items in patterns that are traditionally used outdoors! If there is an adjoining bath, there are camouflage shower curtains, rugs and other items that can be used and displayed to compliment the bears and moose in your baby nursery theme.

For softness, throw some large plush bears and other stuffed animals in the corners. They'll be comfortable and right at home in the hunting and fishing lodge decor.
