Nursery Art FAQs

We believe nursery art should inspire adventure, imagination, and whimsy. Our nursery art collection leans into these themes with a wonderfully peculiar storybook feel.

You'll find hand illustrated animals with names and personalities, like Gerald the Giraffe and Marlon the Mouse. Scenes of hot air balloons and rowboats drifting somewhere dreamlike, and beloved classic books reimagined as beautiful objects.

What they all share is a sense of quiet magic that is designed to grow alongside your child, and be treasured as their first piece of real artwork.

A beautifully framed piece of nursery art is the kind of gift that goes up on a wall and stays there. It doesn't outgrow the child too quickly. It doesn't need batteries, and it doesn't make noise.

Our art prints arrive in beautifully packaged thick gold-foiled cardboard with a vintage storybook influence, and include a poem about the inspiration behind the artwork. The artworks themselves are printed on 308gsm fine art cotton paper with pigment ink, so they're made to last and grow with the child.

All sizes are standard, so whoever receives the gift can frame it easily in a ready-made frame, which is especially important for busy new parents!

Absolutely! This whimsical nursery art is the perfect gift if you are looking for a gender neutral gift for a baby, or new parents. We'd even gently suggest that nursery art doesn't really need to be sorted by gender at all.

Our illustrations are drawn from a world of animals, adventure, and old stories that belong to anyone curious enough to wander into them.

The colour palettes in our nursery art tend toward rich, nostalgic tones, often with a pop of playful colour. The result is art that works beautifully in any nursery or child's room, regardless of who lives there.

Our Nursery art is perfect from the very beginning, and for many years afterwards too!

Our nursery art is designed to be genuinely beautiful rather than babyish, which means it doesn't become embarrassing the moment a child develops opinions. The illustrated animals and whimsical sense of adventure work well in a nursery from birth, and tend to stay perfectly at home through toddler years and well beyond.

The whimsical book art prints, such as Alice in Wonderland, Anne of Green Gables, The Wizard of Oz, or Treasure Island have the wonderful effect of becoming more meaningful as a child grows, and reads the stories themselves.

You bet they are! Here's why:

The ink - printed with rich, vibrant, high quality ink that will not fade over time.

The paper - printed on bespoke fine art 308gsm cotton paper with a beautiful matt finish.

The packaging - wonderful thick cardboard backing with gold foil, much like those found on a hard cover book. It's here you can also find a whimsical poem about the inspiration behind the nursery artwork!

Absolutely not! We print all of our art prints in house with a special kind of pigment ink, giving them the same lifespan as a painting!

Our art prints come in a few standard sizes:

  • A5 art prints (Smallest)
  • A4 art prints
  • A3 art prints
  • A2 art prints (biggest)

Hint: A4 is a standard piece of printer paper!

A great way to find which art print size works best for you is to measure the wall or frame you have in mind, then use a piece (or pieces) of paper to visualise the artwork in that space.

Our smaller prints are perfect for shelves, desks, and cosy corners, while larger sizes make a statement above a sofa or bed.

If you're creating a gallery wall with multiple art prints, mixing sizes always looks wonderful!

Still unsure? Drop us a message, we're happy to help!
