Beautiful Gender Neutral Nursery Ideas
Decorating a nursery for your baby is an exciting task! A gender-neutral nursery is a great idea for many reasons. So it is no surprise that we see more and more neutral baby rooms.
Some new parents might not want to know the sex of their new baby, so a neutral baby room makes more sense. Or maybe pink and blue aren’t your thing. Either way, you can create a wonderful nursery without making it gender-specific.
There are plenty of other colors that you can use if you want to design a gender-neutral nursery. And if you want to keep it really neutral, you can always use pink, grey, and white tones for your nursery. These neutral colors really don’t mean your nursery is going to be boring.
Let’s take a look at some beautiful gender-neutral nursery ideas.
Alice Palmer is known for her color, texture, and pattern combination. In the nursery of her London family house, she paired light green with wallpaper and floral curtains. A great nursery for a boy or a girl.
Ochre is a beautiful color that adds a warm atmosphere to any room. It also looks beautiful in a nursery as you can see in this shared children’s room in Sweden.
You can also add wallpaper to the nursery walls instead of painting them. Botanical or animal wallpaper is always a great idea for a nursery. In this Swedish nursery, they used Jimmy Cricket’s “Woodland” wallpaper.
