1. You have decided to leave finding out if it’s
a baby boy or baby girl til the actual birth -
now does that mean your nursery can only
be in yellow or green? Although both are
lovely colours for a gender neutral nursery,
this month’s newsletter takes a look at how
to keep a nursery gender neutral but never
dull.
As Interior Designers we are asked more
frequently than ever for ideas on how to
decorate nursery’s suitable for a baby girl
or boy. Whilst it can be slightly more
challenging, it can also be loads of fun too.
The first place to start is usually with the colour palette. The mum in this first example
loved aqua – all shades of aqua. It was coordinated back with, surprisingly, a subtle
orange. What also brings this room together is the Baltic timber floorboards, and the
complimenting dark furnishing. A beautiful room for either a baby boy or girl.

2. Beautifully classical colour palettes of crisp white and chocolate
are just timeless. Chocolate is recognised for its calming
influences and white is not only refreshing but also very practical
from a washing perspective for small babies.
A different but similar combination is the timeless white with
deep plum/burgundy.
This colour run allows you the chance to
review the room once your baby has arrived,
with the option to add dusty pink trims for
girls or light taupe for boys.

3. The Humphrey’s Bedtime range distributed through Cloverlea Designs is also a terrific
non-gender specific bedding collection. The colours used in this range are champagne,
sage, mushroom and light taupes. It’s subtle, understated and very gentle and the motif
of the baby elephant is just sweet. Pulling together just a couple of the pieces in this
collection with a well-designed bedroom range (e.g. cot and tallboy etc) will again allow
you to come back and complete the look once you know whether the baby is a boy or
girl. Finishing techniques could include a wall stencilling of the baby’s name in the colour
palette or the addition of a floral or geometric knitted blanket.

4. One question we have been posed with lately was ‘Is it ok to still use some floral
influences throughout the room keeping in mind our baby maybe a boy?’. The answer is
that there are many patterns that can be categorised as floral but can also be
interpreted as geometric prints. An example of this is the first image of a floor rug used
in this newsletter (taupe and orange).This doesn’t have connotations to either a baby
boy or girl but could be described as a floral print. There are also a vast number of
florals within the etsy world that are non gender specific and it’s generally the colours
that have been used that more denote the gender. So have your bloke-iest friend
interpret floral of the geographic prints available and I think this will provide you with
the answer.

‘The sheets are so soft and fit the cot mattress great. The blanket is
also really soft, unlike some others I have tried. The quilt is also light,
so perfect for the weather at the moment (cooler nights in qld,
unusual for this time of year). As I have just moved my daughter to
her cot this bedding pack was perfect! The classic white design is
also good as it can be used for either sex; I have just used some teddy
bears in her cot to make it a little girlie!‘ Stacey
