Bright Gender-Neutral Nursery

Description

A modern and bold room for boy or girl!

Design Inspiration

We really wanted to stay away from pastels and create a more bright, modern room for our baby. We live in a 2-bedroom loft, and since this room may double as a guest room from time to time, we wanted to keep it fun for all ages (and genders).

Decorating Style

Eclectic and laid back, a mix of modern and vintage finds. I like to collect things along the way, as opposed to the "bed in a bag" feel.

Project Details

I frequented etsy for handmade finds, went to a few local vintage bazaars & renegade handmade fairs, as well as ikea, west elm, cb2, Land of Nod, anthropologie, urban outfitters, target and old navy. And of course, I gathered inspiration from Project Nursery and Ohdeedoh. 

Favorite Items

The Dream Menagerie Rug from anthropologie has to be my favorite thing in the room, but I also dig the vintage blue mirror over the dresser. And the Abacus. I also love that my childhood changing table made its way into the closet.

Advice

Don't be afraid of bright colors. Follow your gut. Go in with a general concept, but not a "theme" and build from there.

    Amazing colors you used here. I never thought you could be colorful and gender-neutral at the same time until I saw this color combination. I especially love the green and the orange.

    Thanks for all of your kind remarks!

    @kiki4916: I’m actually glad you think it’s “girlie” because I was fearing it was too “boy”… obviously not! I still think it can go eitehr way.

    @mplsmom: I got the “sleepy” print from sycamore street press on etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/sycamorestreetpress?ref=pr_shop

    Such a cute room!  Where did you get the “You’re Getting Very Sleepy” print?  I would love to have it!

  14. avatar kiki4916 says:

    adorable…but it doesnt seem that gender neutral to me…screams girl to me!  Maybe your decorating style knows something you dont!  GL!
