4 nursery ideas – brilliant gender-neutral decor tips for your baby’s bedroom

Looking for nursery room ideas? What an exciting time! Is there anything more joyous than decorating a nursery?! Deciding on a color scheme, picking our furniture, putting the prettiest books and toys on display are just a few of the things that make this project feel so special. After all, a nursery is a space where you can get truly creative and design the most imaginative room in your home.

Whether or not you want to wait to find out what gender your baby is or already know, the main thing is that a nursery should be both fun and functional – but you should also remember that how your child and you use the bedroom will change quickly, so its decor will need to be easy to update, too. Check out these baby room ideas – and our well-tested advice – to get your design just right.

1. CHOOSE A NEUTRAL NURSERY ROOM IDEA WITH POPS OF COLOR

A neutral nursery with pops of color is a great way to create a space that can grow as they do. Keeping the backdrop simple and adding in color will mean you aren’t constantly repainted as they get older and their tastes start to change. This is a fab look if you are wanting to create a gender-neutral nursery too.

2. GO FOR A MUTED VERSION OF THE CLASSIC PINK NURSERY IDEA

If you are a sucker for the baby pinks and blues that are the go-to colors for nurseries, why not give these color schemes an update with contemporary, muted paint shades? Think duck-egg variations of blue and dusty, barely-there pinks. Still sweet, but with a contemporary twist.

3. CREATE A SCANDI NURSERY WITH A WHITE COLOR SCHEME

Want at least the illusion of peace and tranquility in the nursery? Nothing beats a classic all-white scheme for its ability to hold a room together and create an easy-going, ambiance that’s so easy to update. A contrasting floor will prevent the room from looking washed out.

4. CREATE THIS FUN NURSERY IDEA WITH GRAPHIC WALLPAPER PATTERNS

It’s amazing how quickly a baby’s room becomes a toddler’s bedroom and play space, so why not decorate it with the future in mind? Choose bright, bold colors for a contemporary, fun, feel, and don’t be afraid to experiment with eye-catching patterns – a mural will help to create a graphic centerpiece.

HOW DO YOU DECIDE ON A THEME FOR A NURSERY?

If you need help deciding on an overall nursery theme we would suggest making a mood board. Save pictures to like the look of on social media and from magazines too. And look at the style you have going on in the rest of your home for inspiration, because while you want your nursery to fill like a fun, creative space for your kid, you still want to work with the overall scheme of your house.
