Inside Kayla Reid Lochte’s Nursery Design
Designing a nursery is one of the most meaningful spaces in a home, and for Kayla Reid Lochte, every detail of her daughter’s room was thoughtfully chosen.
Kayla and her husband, former Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, envisioned a nursery that felt soft, feminine, calming, and elevated.
Using blush tones, warm neutrals, and layered textures, the room balances playful details with a more refined, modern aesthetic.
At the centre of the design was our Ophelia Wall Mural.
Why Peel and Stick Wall Murals Are Popular for Nurseries
One of the reasons peel and stick wall murals in Canada have become so popular is because they instantly transform a room without requiring a permanent renovation.
With a wall mural, you can:
- Create a focal point behind a crib or bed
- Add colour and movement without overwhelming the space
- Design a room that feels intentional and custom
- Easily refresh the room over time
This flexibility makes murals ideal for nurseries, kids rooms, and statement walls.
The Ophelia Wall Mural: Soft Abstract Art for Kids Spaces
The Ophelia Wall Mural combines layered blush tones with soft abstract movement to create a design that feels artistic while still calming.
In this nursery, the mural became the perfect backdrop for the room’s pink chrome crib, adding softness and visual texture without competing with the rest of the decor.
This is one of the reasons abstract art wall murals work so beautifully in nurseries:
- They feel elevated and timeless
- They add dimension without feeling busy
- They grow with the room over time
Instead of creating a heavily themed nursery, murals like Ophelia help create a space that feels styled, modern, and flexible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are peel and stick wall murals removable?
Yes. Our wall murals are removable, making them ideal for nurseries, kids rooms, rental spaces, and evolving interiors.
Do wall murals work well in nurseries?
Absolutely. Wall murals help create a focal point and bring softness and personality into a nursery without needing excessive decor.
What’s the difference between wallpaper and a wall mural?
Wallpaper uses a repeating pattern, while a wall mural creates one larger-scale image or flowing design across the wall.
Are abstract wall murals good for kids rooms?
Yes. Abstract murals tend to feel more timeless and flexible than heavily themed designs, making them easier to grow with over time.
