These 16 nursery ideas for baby boy will have you so excited to welcome your little man into the world.
When we welcomed our little man into the world, he was our first born. He filled our hearts with love we didn’t even know we had to give. We couldn’t wait to bring him home to his blue elephant nursery.
Here is a look at our first baby boy’s nursery!
I love his elephant theme! If we ever have another baby boy, though, we will definitely explore other options! It’s a good thing I have this list here, I may need to resort back to this at some point.
If you are having a baby girl, I also compiled an amazing list of 16 Nursery Ideas for Baby Girl!
Can I Put My Nursery Items on my Registry?
Of course, you can! Are you having a baby shower for your little bundle of joy? Nursery items are one of the best things to put on your registry!
Starting a baby registry is so simple now! There are many options for creating a baby registry including, Babylist, Target, or Amazon!
The best things about Babylist are:
- You get a FREE Welcome Box
- You can add any item from any site
- 15% Completion Discount
- Easy to create a phone app for easy tracking
- Can ask for favors such as meals and dog walking
- Can create cash funds
As I said, you can always do Target or Amazon! They both have completion discounts and easy registry sharing. You can only add items from Amazon or Target though.

4-in-One Crib
I cannot recommend a 4-in-One Crib enough! You can save yourself a lot of money if you do not have to buy a crib, a toddler bed, and then a full-sized bed later.
We purchased the Delta 4-in-One Convertible Crib for my son and he is currently in the toddler bed position. We did not have to spend hundreds of dollars on a toddler bed that he would outgrow in a few years anyway. Once he is a little bigger, he can move up to the full bed.
Mattress
This may be obvious, but definitely a necessity for the nursery. Most crib mattresses have an infant side and a toddler side. The infant side is more firm for safe sleep. The toddler side is softer for a more comfortable safe sleep.
Mattress Protector
It is highly recommended to grab your baby’s crib a mattress protector. Diapers are destined to leak at some point. The last thing you want to be doing is needing to scrub your baby’s mattress along with the sheets. You can save time and throw the mattress protector and the sheets into the washing machine.

Sheets
Speaking of sheets, there are so many different patterns for sheets now! This is great because you can change your nursery theme along the way if you wanted to. When my son was a baby, he had elephants. Now that he is a toddler, he like dinosaurs, Paw Patrol, and Cars!
Changing Pad
This may be a bonus item for some moms, but not this one! In my son’s room, his dresser had a changing table on top and I placed the changing pad inside. My daughter’s room was a little different. We refurbished old dressers and just placed the changing pad on top. Either way, we needed a changing pad, especially for those newborn days when you are changing 20 diapers a day!
Dresser
If you have room for a dresser, I highly recommend one. It is possible to hang baby clothes, however, you will need somewhere to store socks, diapers, wipes, etc.
Closet Organization
There are so many ways to organize your baby’s closet. How you choose to organize the closet will depend on its size.
Sound Machine/Night Light
I highly recommend the Hatch Sound Machine. This acts not only as a nightlight but as a sound machine. There are multiple sounds to pick from. You can change the color to whichever your child likes. A timer can be set to start and stop the sounds and lights and it is all done from the Hatch app!
Diaper Pail
This may be a luxury but let me tell you, it saves our baby’s room from stinking up!
