Six real rooms, photographed by the families who made them, with every decal named and priced. The short version: most of these walls are one big piece plus a handful of small ones, the decals cost between A$99 and A$407, and almost all of them went up in a single afternoon. You do not need a theme, a mood board or an eye for styling. You need one wall and one starting piece.
Scrolling nurseries on your phone at eleven at night is a strange kind of torture. The rooms look finished. Yours has a cot in it and a wall the colour of a rental. One mum in an Australian parenting group put the gap better than we could: she was jealous of the beautiful rooms she kept seeing, and completely stumped on how to start her own.
So this is not a mood board. These are six walls that real Tiny Walls customers sent us, in their own homes, in their own light. For each one we have listed what is actually on the wall and what those pieces cost today, so you can work out whether the room in the photo is within reach. Prices are live as at 11 October 2026.
What all six rooms have in common
Look at them together and the pattern is almost boring. There is one large piece that carries the wall, usually somewhere between 1.2 and 1.8 metres. Then there are five to ten smaller pieces placed around it, loosely, at different heights. Nothing is centred. Nothing is in a row. Most of the small pieces sit low, between knee and shoulder height, because that is where a child actually looks.
The other thing they share is restraint. One wall each. The other three walls stay plain, which is what makes the decorated one read as deliberate rather than busy.

The farm room
A horse, a cow, sheep, a goat, a pig, a duck and a handful of chicks, with a red tractor coming in from the side. This is the room that keeps getting sent back to us, usually with a photo of a toddler pointing at the cow.
On the wall: the Farm Animal Wall Decals Accent Wall Pack, ten small animals for A$99, or the Feature Wall Pack with ten medium animals for A$199. The horse in the medium set is 82cm long, which is bigger than people expect. Add the Classic Red Farm Tractor at A$49 small or A$99 medium and the wall has its anchor.
Total as pictured: about A$148 for the small version, A$298 for the medium.
The safari nursery
Giraffe, zebra, elephant, rhino and lion, with tufts of grass underneath so the animals stand on something rather than float. The before and after is the reason this one is worth looking at: the same corner, the same cot, a completely different room.
On the wall: Baby Safari Animal Decals, A$99 for six small animals plus three grass pieces, or A$199 for six medium animals plus nine grass. If you want height as well, the Acacia Safari Tree Decal is A$149 and gives the animals somewhere to gather.
Worth knowing: in a nursery, place pieces to the side of the cot rather than directly above it. They are flat fabric with nothing to hang and nothing to knock, but keeping the wall above the cot clear is simply easier to live with when you are leaning over a sleeping baby at 2am.
The dinosaur wall
This is the room that gets a high five. A brachiosaurus doing the heavy lifting, then a stegosaurus, a T-Rex, a triceratops and a pair of pterodactyls scattered around it.
On the wall: Dinosaur Wall Decals, A$99 for the Accent Pack, A$199 for the Feature Wall Pack, A$369 for the Full Room Pack. For a single statement animal instead, the Brachiosaurus Dinosaur Wall Decals run A$199 at 1.4 metres tall and A$229 at 1.8 metres, left or right facing.
One customer put the pterodactyls on the wardrobe door, which is the single best idea in our whole photo library. Doors are flat, smooth and at eye height for a four year old.
The airplane nursery
Vintage planes climbing diagonally across the wall above a dresser, with a couple of hot air balloons higher up. The diagonal is doing the work here. Planes in a straight line look like a border; planes on a climb look like flight.
On the wall: Airplane Wall Decals, A$99 for the Accent Wall with 18 decals, A$199 for the Feature Wall with 23, A$325 for the Full Room with 71 pieces across one or two walls.
The whale wall
Six whales, humpbacks and an orca, in soft blue grey, swimming above a bed. This is the room that ages best of the six. A nine year old will still happily sleep under whales.
On the wall: Ocean Whale Wall Decals, A$99 for the small set and A$199 for the medium, where the whales run 61 to 65cm wide. If you want the rest of the reef, Ocean Animal Wall Decals are A$99 and A$199, and Shark Wall Decals are A$99 and A$154.
The native bird corner
The smallest room on the list and the cheapest, and the one we would start with if we were starting again. Three birds around a mirror, a cockatiel, a kookaburra and a galah, and nothing else.
On the wall: the Cockatiel, Kookaburra and Galah Wall Decals, A$25 for all three. Build outwards from there with the Mother and Baby Koala Pair at A$30, or single pieces from Mix and Match Australian Animals: a galah or kookaburra at A$20, an echidna at A$22, a koala or wombat at A$30, a kangaroo at A$40. For the full bush scene, the Australian Bush Wall Decal Bundle runs A$327, A$407 and A$507 across its three sizes.
Our 6 month old baby loves to look around the room at them.

How to use this: picking your own starting point
Work backwards from the photo you keep coming back to. If it is the farm or the safari room, you want a set, because the charm is in the group. If it is the bird corner, you want two or three single pieces and permission to stop there.
Then three practical things. Lay everything on the floor in roughly the arrangement you want before anything touches the wall. Put the largest piece up first and work outwards, because the big one sets the spacing for everything else. And test one small piece on a discreet patch of the wall for 48 hours before you commit to the rest, which is the step people skip and then wish they hadn't.
Our hand-painted fabric wall decals are drawn by our in-house artist and printed on fabric rather than PVC vinyl in Melbourne, which is why they sit flat and have no shine. If you want the method rather than the inspiration, how to apply wall decals without bubbles walks through the whole install, and how to decorate a nursery, starting with the wall covers the order to do things in. Free shipping on orders over A$150.
Frequently asked questions
Are these real customer photos?
Yes. Every photo in this post was taken by a Tiny Walls customer in their own home and shared with us. We have not styled, staged or generated any of them, which is also why the light is honest rather than perfect.
How much did each of these rooms cost?
Between A$25 for the bird corner and A$407 for the larger bush bundle, in decals. The farm room as pictured is about A$148 in its small version. All figures are the live prices on the day this post went up.
How long does a wall like this take to put up?
An afternoon for most of them. The planning takes longer than the sticking. A set of ten small animals goes up faster than one large tree, because the big pieces need more care to position.
What size set should I buy for one wall?
The Feature Wall or medium size in almost every range, which is the A$199 tier for most sets. The Accent size suits a corner, a nook or the space above one piece of furniture. Full Room sizes are for two or more walls.
Can I mix two different sets on one wall?
You can, and the rooms that do it well usually share a palette rather than a subject. Native birds with gum trees works. Sharks with daisies does not. If you are unsure, buy one set and a few single pieces rather than two full sets.
Will the decals suit the room when my child is older?
The ocean, native animal and dinosaur walls tend to hold up longest, because they are drawn rather than cartooned. If you expect to change it, plan on a new set for the new room rather than moving the old one, because decals that have been taken down and stored often do not adhere again.
What wall surface do these work best on?
Fresh, clean, smooth paint that is not chalky. Heavily textured render, brick and dead flat paint are the hardest surfaces. Wipe the wall first, apply within about three months of delivery, and test a piece for 48 hours before you do the whole wall.
