Woodland nursery: 26 inspiring ideas to create this whimsical look

Find yourself spending countless hours scrolling through Instagram and Pinterest eyeing the latest in nursery trends? Guilty ??

Woodland nurseries have been going strong for the past few years, and the trend shows no sign of slowing down. (Even Nick and Vanessa Lachey got in on it when designing a space for their latest addition.) With winter upon us here in the northeast, we are seriously swooning over the beautiful woodland themed nurseries we’re seeing everywhere lately. From buffalo check to bears and birch trees to reclaimed wood, we can’t get enough.

Get inspired, mamas; Joanna Gaines has nothing on you! Here are 25 ideas to make all of your woodland nursery dreams come true.
