A farm animal themed boy’s nursery is a fun way to decorate your baby’s first room. It’s a great theme for a baby boy nursery because it involves animals, bringing a variety of shapes into the room. For this type of theme, you can pick from any number of furniture styles from Southwestern to Mission to rustic. Today, we’ll design our farm animal themed nursery by selecting a country style décor with a little touch of sophistication.

Color choices (from Benjamin Moore) were chosen with the crib bedding in mind. A popular country style palette includes earth tones (Providence Olive and Shakespeare Tan) as well as the two blues (Misty Blue and Wedgewood Gray) that have more neutral undertones. This will help set the overall mood for the room, country style that is chic and trendy.

Once the walls have been painted, consider your options. You can add a wallpaper border that has a farm animal theme. You can even choose just one type of farm animal, such as cows, horses, roosters or sheep. If you’re creative and like to DIY, paint stencils of farm animals on one or two walls in brighter, accent colors that complement the crib bedding. If you’re really artistic, how about painting a barnyard mural on one wall or a section of one of the nursery walls?

The Status Furniture Milcroft Stages Convertible Baby Crib has a delightful country charm that will be a great place for your baby boy to sleep.

The BeBe Chic Counting Sheep Baby Crib Bedding Set Collection crib bedding set features whimsical sheep in a combination of solid colors and patterns that will give you farm animal themed nursery texture while creating visual interest.

The South Shore Furniture Sweet Morning 3246 Changing Table has a country style flavor, with its arched apron, classic round wood knobs and a warm wood finish. Especially if you’re on a budget, you might be tempted to skip the change table. But consider this: you will be changing your baby’s diaper anywhere from 10 to 15 times a day, from the time he comes home from the hospital for up one to two years afterwards. Because it eliminates crouching or bending yourself into awkward positions, a changing table is worth the investment, particularly if it can be repurposed as a dresser or storage unit.

A rug gives your nursery a finished look. The Walk On Me Kid’s Sheep Rug lends the room quirky feel. If you prefer something more neutral, select the Walk On Me Ivory Sheepskin Rectangle Rug.
