How to Create a Gender-Neutral Nursery

 

The trend for gender-neutral nursery interiors has continued to grow over the last two years with celebrities such as Molly-Mae Hague opting for soft shades of beige and cream for their nursery colour scheme.

Whether you’re keeping the gender of your baby a surprise or simply want to create a nursery that will grow with them, a gender-neutral interior is perfect, and can easily be adapted to suit their personalities and interests as they get older with nursery wall art, soft textiles, and their favourite toys.

Design ideas and nursery themes

When planning the interior of your little one’s room you might want to consider a nursery theme. A theme can help steer the design of your nursery and give you inspiration for how you could decorate the room.

For example, safari is a fun, gender-neutral nursery theme that can easily be incorporated through stuffed animals and playful wall art. Other trending nursery themes you might want to consider are woodland and botanical themes which use colours and textures from nature.

Choosing gender-neutral nursery furniture

There are lots of different things to consider when shopping for nursery furniture such as how big your nursery is, whether you want a matching nursery set or just a cot bed, and of course the style and design of the furniture.

When creating a gender-neutral nursery you’re probably going to want to opt for a neutral colour palette. White is a popular option for nursery furniture as it can help make the room feel light and spacious, or if you prefer something with more depth a two-tone design like our bestselling Luna range could be the perfect option for you.

Nursery décor and accessories

Gender-neutral doesn’t have to be boring, look at it as a blank canvas for you to add your own personal touches through décor and accessories. Even the storage solutions you choose can add character to your nursery, like our adorable teddy bear baskets which are perfect for storing your baby’s toys.

Another thing to remember when designing your baby’s nursery is to create a space you’ll both be able to relax in. After all, both of you will be spending a lot of time together in the nursery. One item that’s sure to come in handy is a rocking nursing chair. It’s the perfect spot for you to bond, feed, and rock your little one to sleep. Our Etta Boucle Nursing Chair ticks all the boxes when looking for a comfortable but stylish nursery chair.

Other smaller additions like a printed changing mat, bookshelves and cot bedding can all contribute to creating the perfect gender-neutral nursery.
