Fern & Nest — Baby Boy Nursery

Thirteen pieces for a baby boy's room, and the striking thing about this page is how little of it is pastel. Four themes carry it: vintage sports, in the soccer and football jersey name prints with a number of your choosing; woodland and hunting, in the mallard duck name sign and the woodland hunting blanket; teddy bears, as a woven name blanket and a printable set of three; and gingham, in the checked and striped monogram name signs. A farm animal name blanket rounds it out.

Will this still suit the room when he is eight?

That is the reason to start here rather than in a nursery-specific scheme. A jersey print with a name and number, a mallard duck sign or a gingham monogram all read as a boy's bedroom rather than a baby's, so they survive the cot coming out. The teddy bear pieces are the exception — they are genuinely newborn, which is what makes the woven blanket a good shower gift and a poor seventh birthday present.

Which of these are files and which are posted?

The jersey, gingham and teddy bear prints are largely digital downloads, so you print them yourself and can have the name up in days. The three blankets — teddy bear, hunting and farm animal — are made to order with the name printed into the design, so the spelling you enter is exactly what arrives.
