Baby Room Decor Ideas Unisex

When it comes to decorating a nursery, neutral colors are on-trend and provide the perfect backdrop for any theme. Choosing a gender-neutral nursery design allows you to stay flexible and creative as your baby grows, whether they’re a boy or a girl. It’s a great option for parents-to-be with multiple children, as it avoids having to redecorate after each new arrival.

Gender-neutral themes can range from natural schemes like forests or mountains to beach scenes and calming watercolours, which can help to relax your little one. Other popular options include cute animals and unique landscapes that inspire adventure. A framed birdhouse painting, a bird-shaped mobile or a set of nature-themed prints can bring this design to life.

A framed mural is a fun way to bring an eye-catching focal point to the room, while also providing the space with a beautiful view. A mural can be a stunning backdrop for a cot or changing table, or even the wall behind a dresser or bookcase. Just make sure the wallpaper is removable as babies are prone to exploring their surroundings and can easily be caught by curtains or cords from blinds or other window coverings.

You could also paint a wall a bold color, and use it as an opportunity to feature an art piece or a photo frame that will have meaning to your family. This is a great way to personalize the room, and it will be a wonderful reminder of you when your child looks at that wall again as an adult.

Depending on what type of mural or art you choose, you can then decorate the rest of the room in complementary colors. A palette of whites and greys can be a fresh and soothing choice, or you could go for a more dramatic look with dark walls. Dark shades of blue, green and grey work well with a range of decor styles, from nautical to woodland, and they’re a good match for patterned wall decals or textured wallpapers.

Then, accessorize your nursery with a few accent pieces that tie the room together. Here, a pink flamingo print and a few coordinating stuffed toys can create a subtle but playful theme for this nursery. You might also want to consider investing in custom storage, which will be useful for storing a growing toddler’s clothes and toys, as shown in this Susie Maddox-designed room.

A gender-neutral theme can still be colorful and exciting, as these nurseries show. A rainbow-themed nursery can be done in a few different ways, from simple polka dots on the walls to coordinating fabrics on the stool and dresser drawer pulls, as seen here.
