# Woodland Nursery Ideas: Foxes, Deer, Owls and Warm Light
> Sage greens, natural wood and gentle forest animals: how to put together a calm woodland nursery, and the night light to finish it.
A woodland nursery is one of the most enduring themes: calm, gender-neutral and easy to grow with. Here is how to build one, finishing with the warm light that makes it work at 3am.
## Key facts
- Woodland nurseries use soft natural colours (sage, cream, warm wood) and forest animals such as foxes, deer, owls and rabbits.
- Natural materials (wood, cotton, wool) fit the theme and age well.
- A warm, dim night light placed across the room from the cot helps with night feeds.
## What colours suit a woodland nursery?
Soft, natural tones: sage and moss greens, cream, oatmeal, warm wood, with touches of rust or mustard for foxes and autumn leaves.
**Key takeaway:** **Direct Answer:** Sage and moss greens, cream, warm wood tones, with rust or mustard accents.
## Which animals belong in a woodland nursery?
The classic cast, all available as lamps:
- Foxes: Two Foxes in the Forest
- Deer: Winter Deer Fawn
- Owls: Night Owls on a Branch
- Rabbits: Two Bunnies Under a Tree
