If you have a willing hubby, boards and rails make a stunning alternative to paint and wallpaper...

Bead Board

This is usually used on the lower half of the wall. However, it can also be used to create an effective backdrop to the crib and I have also seen it used on the full wall horizontally rather than vertically to produce a wonderful beach house effect.

---

Chair Rails

Use chair rails to divide the baby room walls if you want to use a different color or paint effect (such as stripes or checks) for the top and the bottom. Alternatively, you can add a chair rail to match your nursery furniture, simply to add interest to the wall or to tie your design together...

After all that painting, sticking and boarding you may find that you still have open spaces on your nursery walls that just need "a little something".
