How to create a gender-neutral nursery 🙌🏻
Preparing to bring a baby into the world is exciting and, if it doesn't feel real right now, it will when you start to design their nursery!
Some parents may be put off by the darker colours that a space theme would require, but these shades can actually be quite soothing and calming for a child, and will minimise their chances of becoming overstimulated. To get the space theme right, I'd recommend opting for a navy-blue paint or wallpaper and making use of some glow in the dark elements such as ceiling stars or baby mobiles.
You'll obviously still want your nursery to look good, so make sure you don't go overboard with clashing colours. Instead, pick two or three primary shades and add smaller hints of colour throughout the room if you think it could do with it. In general, I'd advise that you give pastels a miss as these can be hard for your child to distinguish, as they won't be vibrant enough for their developing eyesight.
Monochrome styles are usually chosen by people going for Scandi themes, but this won't be the most stimulating for your little one. So, make sure you add extra bursts of colour with soft furnishings like your rug. I recommend picking one that mimics the earth or the grass and adds texture for them to familiarise themselves with.
