Creating a gender-neutral nursery can be a fun and creative process, and it can help to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for your little one. Here are some tips for designing a gender-neutral nursery:
-
Choose a neutral colour palette: Consider using colours that are not typically associated with gender, such as white, grey, beige, green, or yellow. These colours can create a calm and soothing atmosphere and are suitable for both boys and girls.
-
Avoid gender-specific patterns and motifs: When choosing bedding, curtains, or wallpaper, choose patterns and motifs that are gender-neutral, such as stripes, polka dots, stars, animals, or geometric shapes. Avoid overly feminine or masculine patterns and colours. Our Waterleaves Collection here is an excellent example of a gender neutral pattern.
-
Mix and match furniture: Instead of buying a complete matching nursery set, mix and match furniture to create a unique and personalized look. Consider using a mix of vintage and modern pieces to add character and charm to the space.
-
Use natural elements: Natural elements like wood, plants, and natural fibres can add warmth and texture to a nursery. Choose wooden toys or furniture, add a plant or two, and consider incorporating natural fibres like wool or cotton into your decor. Our changing basket here is made from a natural seagrass materials, designed to match gender neutral nursery interiors.
-
Add interest with art and accessories: Artwork is a great way to add interest and personality to a gender-neutral nursery. Choose artwork that is gender-neutral, such as nature scenes, abstract art, or animals. You can also add personality with accessories like pillows, blankets, and toys that are not specific to any gender.
-
Personalize the space: Personalize the nursery with your own touch, such as a family heirloom or a special piece of artwork. You can also add your baby's name or initials to personalize the space further.
Overall, creating a gender-neutral nursery involves choosing a neutral colour palette, gender-neutral patterns and motifs, mixing and matching furniture, incorporating natural elements, adding interest with art and accessories, and personalizing the space. By following these tips, you can create a warm and welcoming space for your new arrival that is suitable for both boys and girls.
