Welcoming a child into the world can often come with a mixed ball of emotions for any parent. There are so many different things to consider that planning the design of a nursery for your little one may seem like an additional, unwanted stressor, especially when creating a gender-neutral space for your child.

Whether you do not want to know the gender of your baby or refuse to have your child bombarded with gender-specific shades, we have the perfect tips for you to create a beautiful space for your baby.

1. Use neutral colours

Instead of incorporating an existing theme with gender-specific colours flowing throughout the space, pick a few neutral shades, such as taupe, beige, or grey as key elements within your child’s room that will ground the rest of your design. Making use of these colours will create a clean, adjustable aesthetic that can be revamped as your child develops.

2. Integrate natural woods into your baby’s space

Using natural woods in your child’s nursery will create a highly classy and elegant look. Using woods with lighter hues has a way of enhancing a room and giving it an airy and light atmosphere that will be perfect to relax you and your little one as you snuggle and spend quality time together.

3. Use pops of colour

Contrary to popular belief, integrating neutral shades within focal points in your space does not mean that you are restricted in terms of your palettes and what can be incorporated into the room. Add a few furniture pieces and other accessories in muted shades to add character to your baby’s nursery.
