As we are lucky enough to have a playroom elsewhere in the house, our boys’ bedrooms (see also Jesse’s Rustic Vintage DIY Boy Nursery) were intended to be spaces where they can enjoy some quiet time: reading, dressing, sleeping, hanging out. That said, we used to have a rug in here, but the floor has become such a transformative space for play and imagination that the rug now lives beneath a tepee in the playroom and the floor is bare so that it can be covered in whatever ‘worlds’ our children decide to make.
I designed this nursery before my daughter was born, so it had to be gender neutral. I wanted it to be clean and modern, and filled with things that are meaningful, such as the handmade shelves and mobile, special items from my childhood, and a little bit of Star Wars.
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!
