Parents who decide to keep their baby’s nursery gender-neutral can still choose between a broad range of styles to create the space where they will welcome their little one into their home. While decorations and furniture can be used to accent the room, the color of the walls are likely to make the most significant statement. To ensure you’re selecting a color scheme that works with the space you’re creating and to help you avoid repainting after you bring your baby home, consider the following guide to creating a room everyone will be happy with.

A Guide to Gender-Neutral Nursery Colors

Why Choose a Gender-Neutral Nursery?

Gender-neutral nurseries are becoming increasingly popular and for many good reasons. First, baby’s rooms painted in neutral colors have a fresh, modern appeal. Gender-neutral baby items are trending, so you’ll find it simple to accent your nursery with blankets and accessories that fit your theme. Plus, a gender-neutral color-scheme may appeal to your toddler or young child more than a room that’s predominantly pink or blue. This means it will be easier to transform a nursery into a child’s room without having to invest in repainting and other remodeling projects. 

Of course, there’s always the possibility that you’d prefer not to find out your child’s sex, that you’re expecting fraternal twins, or that you’re choosing not to select traditional pink or blue color schemes for personal reasons. No matter your reasoning, you can explore some alternative approaches to conventional, gendered colors.

Which Color Schemes Should You Consider?

Although the color scheme you settle on will ultimately be a decision for your family to come to independently, here are some ideas for inspiration:

• Gray & Yellow: This classic combination uses yellow for a fun pop of color, but it is balanced out with the subdued gray hues. Pale gray walls serve as a neutral backdrop and can be accented with yellow furniture, rugs, and curtains. Plus, if your child decides on a bolder color for their room down the road, repainting over light gray will be easier than brighter colors.
• Orange & Teal: Orange and teal can look stunning in a nursery and are often ideal for any child. You can either choose to have the walls painted in a pale, aquamarine, or a vibrant coral shade. Then, you should find accents with details in the opposite color.
• Earth Tones: Brown, tan, and other earthy tones don’t have to be boring. Tan walls can be adorned with accessories in any theme, from a jungle safari to a wooded campsite. Add in accessories like green chairs, white linens, and on-theme stuffed animals to complete the look.
