Ideas for a Decorating a Baby Nursery with Stripes
Striped Baby Rooms and Baby Bedding with Stripes for Inspiration

Updated December 3, 2025 by Jan of Unique Baby Gear Ideas

Ideas for decorating a nursery with stripes are usually inspired by a set of striped baby bedding that sets or repeats the color palette for the rest of the space although there can be more to a baby room with stripes than pleasing colors and a crib set as you will see from the pictures and examples on this page.

It's true that keeping it simple is best if the look that the mom-to-be wants is elegant, classic and collegiate.


But on this page we will explore options for adding whimsy and fun to the mix as well as techniques for blending fabrics for those with plans for having a set of custom baby bedding made or skills for making their own.

Hello Kitty Baby Bedding

Hello Kitty is one of the cutest themes for a baby girl nursery to a mom who loves kittens.

A crib quilt with a striped border may be all that's required if the room is small.

Dr Seuss Baby Bedding

"Oh the Places You'll Go" with a mixture of pink stripes and polka dots!


An example of how decorating a nursery with stripes for a baby girl is possible no matter what the theme or style of decor.

Pink and Black Baby Nursery

Black and white stripes are much more interesting when polka dots, floral prints and a pop of hot pink here and there.

Chevron Stripes for the Baby's Nursery

Decorating a nursery in stripes isn't always that "straight" forward, if you know what I mean.


Horizontal and vertical is the norm but zig zag or chevron stripes are the latest trend.

Zebra Stripes Baby Bedding

Stripes in a nursery can be uniform in width, uneven, chevron or they might be neither as is the case with zebra stripes!


What could be more delightful in a child's room than a horse wearing his (or her) pajamas?

Vintage Comic Book Baby Super Hero Nursery

Unless of course it's a striped baby bedding set in a vintage super heroes nursery.

Polka Dots and Chevron Stripes Baby Bedding in a DIY Nursery

A mixture of chevron stripes, zebra stripes and polka dots each have a place in this baby's room.
