Gender Neutral Nursery Ideas: A Sweet Room for Brooks

Who needs pink or blue?  This stunning gender neutral nursery is enough to get your creative juices flowing, and has more than enough inspiration for unisex baby room decorating ideas.  The soft color palette is the perfect backdrop for a well styled unisex nursery!

New mom Ally Ferguson designed a fresh space for her new baby, Brooks, that truly evokes a sense of calm.

Sweet baby Brooks sleeps soundly on his Washed Linen in Oatmeal Crib Sheet, made of eco-friendly lux linen.  The stripe design adds pattern to the neutral fitted baby sheet.  Our decorative Flax Linen Pillow, accented with cording, is personalized with Brooks’ monogram.  Washed linen baby bedding lends a tailored timeless appeal.

An abundance of natural light creates a space that is both warm and welcoming!

A small green wreath from Target over the farmhouse style crib adds just the right amount of color and a touch of nature to the room.  The charming framed name sign was hand painted by a friend.

White tones keep the nursery bright and fresh. The elegant white baby crib is a family heirloom, used by Ally’s niece and nephew.  Timeless furniture pieces give a nursery a refined edge that will always be stylish.  A tufted nursery glider anchors this corner space and adds a comfy spot for feedings and story time.  The darling framed wooden sign with inspirational message over the changing table is white washed for a rustic look.

White wooden floating shelves hold framed prints and favorite books.  Baskets are a great way to organize and store the multitude of baby things that need organizing in a nursery.  Darker toned wooden accents such as the dresser/changing table, floor lamp and curtain rods add contrast to the mostly white room.

A Neutral Nursery for Paxon

We immediately fell in love with this sweet and simple nursery designed by Brittney Horton for her soon to be third child, a boy, Paxton Horton!  The soft gray, blue and white tones give a calm and relaxing feel to this adorable nursery, and inspiration for neutral nursery ideas.  We think Brittney nailed it, with this serene baby boy nursery!
After having two girls, Brittney was expecting a baby boy, and was excited to design his nursery!  The sweet baby rhino artwork was the inspiration for the room.  Brittney coordinated the colors of the room with this adorable print from Paper Llamas.  Although the nursery is not “jungle themed”, the rhino print is just enough to add a little wildness to the room!

The white crib pops on the gray paneled wall, which adds a bit of sophistication.  Gold and soft blue elements add an element of color as well.

For her third and last child, Brittney wanted Paxon’s room to have a “baby” feel, and not look too grown up.  For the baby bedding, Brittney chose our Gray Star Crib Sheet and Solid White Crib Skirt.  The star printed crib sheet, baby mobile and dark wood mid-century dresser combine to give the room a sweet, yet masculine feel.

The board and batten wall was installed by Brittney’s husband.  After debating whether to put wallpaper or the board and batten, Brittney was glad she decided on the latter.  The wall was a labor of love for her husband, and also added to the transitional style Brittney loves.  The gray paint from Sherwin Williams (Latitude) pulls the room together, and gives a soothing feel to the room.

Little touches of blue remind you that the nursery is for a baby boy!  The soft blue changing pad coverfeatures a fun swiss cross pattern.  The stunning wood dresser and gray glider add to the mid-century ambiance of the room.  Touches of gold in the floor lamp, mirror and framed print add a special touch.

Let us know what you think of this sweet gender neutral nursery!  With two big sisters to take good care of him, baby Paxton is sure to get lots of love!  Thank you for sharing this adorable room with us, Brittney!

Rustic Chic Nursery (Gender Neutral)

Gender neutral nursery for baby.  It was a real struggle at first trying to find a color scheme/design plan suitable for either a boy or a girl.   Finally I found some inspiration in an old bin of curtains I had lying around and ran with it.  Vintage pieces of furniture were reworked and I did a lot of recycling to get exactly what I envisioned… without spending a lot of money!

Modern, Whimsical & Mostly DIY

We put together this gender-neutral nursery before our son was born.  He was a delivery room surprise and we plan to use this room as a nursery for future children – so we wanted a neutral palette.   We gutted everything in the room except the flooring.  Our home was a foreclosure – so each room needs a lot of work!  It was so much fun to DIY this space for our little one.

Neutral Nursery with Pops of Color

After over a year of trying to conceive and despising the spare room we found out we were pregnant on a month that beat out all scientific odds. Once we passed the first trimester mark we got to work (my husband and I). We knew we wanted a neutral basis for the room with pops of color so we purchased/DIY-ed all the neutral pieces before we found out Baby’s gender. When we found out that we were expecting a baby girl I looked at fabric sample after fabric sample until we decided on a peachy/pink and buttery yellow for the accents in the room. We couldn’t be more pleased with our work and the outcome!

Sweet Silhouette Tree Decal

Cute silhouette nursery I painted in Atlanta, Ga.   This nursery will also transition into a toddler room very easily. I wanted to keep the mood light and carefree. The black silhouettes add a bouyant quality to the room that really has a charming effect. We loved it and hope you all will too!  My painted tree is  available as a decal at my website www.anitaroll.com. Or at www.etsy.com/shop/AnitaRoll.
