Looking for gender neutral baby room ideas? All the parents-to-be that are waiting for their surprise bundle of joy to arrive can take comfort in the fact that this nursery theme is appealing to both girls and boys. Its also a fantastic way to introduce your child to a range of different animals. What am I talking about? Im talking about Noah’s Ark. When I was looking around for baby room ideas I began by going through a list of my favorite stories that I was told as a child. Noah’s Ark is such a beautiful theme for your baby nursery. I learn’t about Noah’s Ark in school and I think it is a story that appeals to all regardless of its biblical origins. The story goes that Noah was foretold of a great flood and instructed to build an ark. Noah gathered two of every kind of animal of the world. When the rain began to fall he herded them all aboard his vessel and here they were safe from the storm outside. When the storm subsided Noah sent out a dove to search for land and it returned with an olive branch in its mouth. Noah then knew that he, his family and his cargo of animals were safe. There are some great visual elements that we can draw inspiration from in this story including:
- Noah and his family
- The Ark
- Animals of any variety
- Rain
- Sunshine
- A Rainbow
- The Ocean
- Dove
Here are some ways 3 great ways to create a great Noah’s Ark Nursery Theme:
1. Noahs Ark Baby Room Murals
If you’ve been looking for baby room mural ideas then this theme is ideally suited to a nursery mural. There is so much going on in this story that a mural would come alive with all the detail. “Murals Your Way” has this great
Noah’s Ark Mural that can be custom made to the size of your wall.

Available from Walltat
2. Peel and Stick Decor – Noah’s Nursery Animals
I’m a big fan of wall decals for baby’s rooms. They are easy to install and easy to remove if you want to change the room down the track. Walltat have a great
Tropical Birds and Lizards Decal as well as a
Giraffe Decal that would make a great addition to Noah’s animal collection. Don’t foget to order them in pairs!
3. Painting your baby room – create your own rainbow
Why not use paint to create your own Noah’s ark Nursery. This works really well if you divide the wall in two using some form of border. Paint the lower half of the room in blue to signify the sea and the leave the top half white or cream. This is where our rainbow will go. Painting a rainbow freehand can get a little tricky. Here’s a trick I use to give me some guidance. Hammer a small nail into the wall at the point where you want the middle of the bottom of the rainbow to be. Get a piece of string that is half of the width you want your rainbow to be. Tie the string to the nail on one end and at the other end tie a piece of chalk. Then draw your rainbow with the chalk running from your border, up towards the ceiling and then to level of your border on the other side. Then shorten the string to create the next arc and keep going until you have enough arcs for the number of colors you want to paint.
