Curated by Lee, Interior Designer
They're dancing. No music required, no occasion necessary, just two little hippos absolutely delighted to be together. This hippo wall art captures that feeling so precisely it's almost embarrassing how much it gets you.
The watercolor illustration features two rosy-cheeked hippopotamuses dancing cheek to cheek, their stubby arms wrapped around each other and their eyes closed in pure contentment. Soft greys and warm blush tones give the cute hippopotamus nursery decor a gentle, lived-in quality that never feels cold or overly bright.
It's the kind of art that makes a room feel like it has a heartbeat. The composition is compact and cozy, two figures leaning into each other, which means it holds its own without needing much wall space around it. Whether it goes above a crib, beside a bookshelf in a playroom, or anchored on the main wall of a toddler's bedroom, this watercolor safari animal print settles in like it was always meant to be there.
If you're looking for a baby shower gift that isn't a generic duck or a sleepy moon, this is it. It's specific enough to feel considered, sweet enough to work for years.

The Original
Made for Her
Make it yours,
Maybe it's the color. Maybe it's the character. Maybe you just need it bigger. Whatever it is, you're not stuck with "close enough."
See those two girls? Same print, same cat, same golden afternoon light. But one parent wanted darker hair, a purple shirt, and a fluffier cat. Done, done, and done.
We customize colors, characters, sizes, and combinations built around your child's room and no one else's. Tell us what you have in mind and we'll send a free digital proof before anything gets printed.
And if nothing in the store is quite it, we also start from a blank page. Fill out a short form with what you have in mind, and we'll get back to you with options. Every custom request, whether a tweak or a new design, is free of charge.
Meet the designer,
I'm a mom and an interior designer. One of those jobs pays. Both of them are why this store exists.
I started Teepee Joy because I kept seeing the same thing: parents who cared deeply about their kid's room, staring at a screen full of options that all looked the same. Generic prints, questionable quality, zero personality.
Every piece in this store is one I'd hang in my own home. I pick with a designer's eye and a parent's gut. If it looks like it belongs in a dentist's waiting room, it doesn't make the cut.
And if a print is close but not quite right, we customize. Colors, characters, sizes - built around your child's room and no one else's. Your wall, your kid, your colors.
Yes, and not just the colors. If a print is close but not quite right, we can adjust colors, swap characters, change sizes, or create new combinations built around your child's room and no one else's. No extra charge. No awkward back-and-forth. Just art that looks like it was made for your wall, because it was.
Contact us with your design pick and what you have in mind. We'll send a free digital proof before printing.
8x10 / 8x12 - Perfect for a shelf, nightstand, or small accent. Works well in a grouping.
12x16 / 12x18 / 16x20 - A versatile mid-size. Great paired with other prints in a set.
18x24 / 16x24 - A popular choice that works well above the crib or a dresser.
20x30 and up - Larger impact for a feature wall or a bigger piece of furniture.
Depends on what you choose. Our framed prints arrive ready to hang with hardware included, no trip to the frame shop needed. Canvas prints are gallery-wrapped and also ready to hang. Fine art prints are ready to frame in any standard frame.
If you want zero hassle, go framed or canvas. If you already have a frame you love, a fine art print is the way.
That's the whole idea. Every print in this store was chosen to grow with your child. No cartoon characters that expire at age three. No trends that date by next season. This is art that works in the nursery, survives the toddler years, and still looks right when your kid starts having opinions about their own room.
We print on premium paper with professional-grade inks, so the colors come out rich, vibrant, and true to what you see on screen. That said, every screen displays color a little differently. If you're particular about an exact shade (and we respect that), request a custom color match and we'll send a digital proof for your approval before anything gets printed. No surprises.
We designed our sets to make this easy. Every set (whether it's two, three, four, or six pieces) comes in the same size, and each print was made to sit beside the next. No mismatched frames, no guessing which sizes go where. For a two or three piece set, hang them in a row with 2-3 inches between each frame. For a four or six piece set, arrange them in two rows.
Hang the center piece at eye level (about 57 inches from the floor). If you're going above a crib or dresser, leave 6-8 inches between the furniture and the bottom of the frame.
A traditional mixed-size gallery wall can work in a living room or hallway, but for a nursery or kids' room, a coordinated same-size set gives you a cleaner, more intentional look with a lot less headache.
