Lantern Forest Woodland Nursery Wallpaper

This woodland nursery wallpaper is a lantern parade through a midnight forest. Against a deep navy sky and slender birch trunks, the animals of the wood walk together, each one carrying a light.

A woodland nursery wallpaper lit from within

A bear leads the way with a paper lantern on a pole. A deer walks beside him with small lanterns hung from his antlers, and foxes follow carrying a round lantern and a star-shaped one.

Rabbits hold up flower lanterns, hedgehogs carry a woven light and a tiny house that glows, mice line up with acorns, and barn owls glide overhead with crescent moons and golden orbs in their claws.

What you will find in the pattern

Fireflies drift between the ferns, mushrooms and berry branches, and every light in the design has a soft halo around it, so the wall reads as genuinely lit rather than simply drawn.

Real fireflies work the same way on a summer evening, which is exactly the feeling the design borrows: a dark wood that turns friendly once the little lights come on.

Where this woodland nursery wallpaper works best

It was made for nurseries and kids’ rooms, and it is particularly good on the wall a child faces from bed, where the lanterns become part of the bedtime routine.

Dark walls suit sleep. A navy ground makes a room feel calm and enclosed at night, and in the morning the birch trunks and green ferns keep it from feeling heavy.

It also works beyond a child’s room, in a snug, a reading corner or a small hallway, where a night forest is a pleasant surprise.

Colours and scale

The palette of this woodland nursery wallpaper is midnight navy with cream birch, sage ferns, warm brown animals and golden lantern light, so it pairs easily with natural wood, rattan, cream bedding and mustard or sage accents.

The bear and deer are drawn large enough to recognise from across the room, while the mice, fireflies and tiny hedgehog house reward a child who looks closely.

How to style it

Styling a woodland nursery wallpaper is mostly about restraint. Warm lamplight is the right partner for this one: it picks up the gold in the lanterns. Cool white bulbs flatten them.

Keep furniture light so the room stays balanced, and pull one accent colour straight from the pattern, such as the mustard of the lanterns or the sage of the ferns.

Kids’ rooms change more often than any other room in the house, which is why peel and stick is the usual choice here. It comes away cleanly when tastes move on, and both materials print the same colours and are PVC-free.

Peel & Stick

Our Peel & Stick wallpaper is printed on a 340 g/m² heavyweight polyester textile with a built-in self-adhesive backing — no paste, no mess. It goes up easily, repositions without damage, and comes down cleanly whenever you’re ready for a change. PVC-free, B1/M1 fire rated, and safe for nurseries. Perfect for renters, first-time installers, or anyone who loves refreshing their space without long-term commitment.

Traditional

Our Premium Traditional wallpaper is printed on a 175 g/m² non-woven paper with a semi-glossy finish, applied with standard wallpaper paste directly to the wall. The result is a seamless, professionally installed look built to last 10+ years. PVC-free and B1 fire rated. Ideal for permanent installations, high-traffic areas, and anyone looking for a refined, long-term result.

Sizes, samples and installation

Every design is printed to order in 24-inch-wide panels, in heights from 76 to 124 inches, and ships in 2–5 business days with free shipping to the US and EU.

Not sure how many panels of this woodland nursery wallpaper you need? Our measuring guide walks you through it, and our material comparison guide explains peel and stick versus traditional.

Dark navy shifts more than most colours between daylight and lamplight, so we recommend ordering a sample of this woodland nursery wallpaper first: choose the 7×7″ or 24×24″ sample in the Size menu above and look at it in the evening too.
