Decorating a nursery is difficult in and of itself. Decorating a gender neutral nursery for your sweet surprise bundle is an even bigger challenge. Over the years, I've seen several different nursery accessories and themes go in and out of style and I've learned firsthand how to create a timeless nursery look for baby.
1. Choose a gender neutral bedding set (Probably the most obvious point)
Crib Sets Neutral
Focus on color first. Blue, chocolate, green yellow and white bedding sets are a some classic colors that work really well with either boy or girl rooms. Sorry ladies, you'll have to stay away from pink on this one. Several crib bedding stores and baby boutiques carry additional sheets in more gender-defining colors so that after baby is born you can add more distinct accents into the original set.
2. Mix & Match Fabrics
Have fun with patterns and fabric styles to enhance a simple or bland looking nursery. So many modern crib bedding sets today feature fabulous animal patterns, luxe silk fabrics and more that will add flavor to a neutral nursery design. Damask, stripes, dots and other patterns work well for boy or girl and can be paired with interesting fabric styles like pleated crib skirts or reversible duvets.
3. Rugs
Several baby boutiques often carry custom rugs, meaning you can choose everything from rug shape to color to border inlay color and stitching. Because you can choose the specific color you are looking for as well as add different shapes and patterns, custom rugs can be a unique accent in your child's room. Plus, you can say you built it yourself. Remember to be aware of color discrepancies when you're ordering. I would recommend calling the store and seeing if they can give you an idea of what the color actually looks like and if it stays true to the web image.
4. If you're choosing a simple bedding set, choose eye-catching furniture or lighting to be the stand-out centerpiece in the nursery.
If you prefer chandeliers to mobiles, douse the room in light! Finding a dramatic lighting accent like a vintage chandelier or some wall sconces can add that much needed "wow" factor. Simple neutral nursery bedding and crib furniture can get an extra push with a glamorous lighting embellishment or an adult rocker or glider. Plus, you'll get the practical benefits of more lighting and a comfortable rocking seat as well!
5. Themes
While you may not be able to pick princesses or pirates, you can decorate baby's unisex nursery with more neutral patterns and themes such as geometric circles and squares, stars, animals, sock monkeys and virtually anything else you can think of.
6. Don't be afraid to add on to your original nursery design
This is the FUN part! Once you've picked out your main furniture and bedding pieces, you can coordinate with decorative switch plates, hanging wall letters and so much more!
