This is certainly the case if the idea of a gender reveal makes you cringe or you simply want to keep the ultrasound results under wraps. And with the world slowing becoming a more inclusive space for our kids to grow up in, we're seeing gender stereotypes being dropped and replaced with unisex fashion, innovative ideas and increased equality. If learning and education begins in the home, then why not remove the sex-based assumptions right from the start of your newborn's journey into the world? Aside from being forward-thinking, taking a unisex decorating approach to a nursery can save you dollars, too – especially if you choose bring along another sibling later down the line.
From gender-neutral greens to mood-boosting yellows, cool greys and awesome oranges - choosing what color scheme is best for your nursery can be an overwhelming experience. Although a black bedroom design may be an unusual decision for your baby, the contrast with clean white decor will give your little one a luxury room to have their first sleeps in.
Give your sweet a sophisticated scheme by adding in metallic brass fixtures and minimally framed mirrors and accessories.

However you execute this little learning opportunity, be sure that your frames are securely fixed to your space, out of reach of grabbing hands and placed above head height to avoid injury. A gender neutral nursery design was important for Dani as she didn't announce baby boy Santiago's sex later into her pregnancy. Combining a peel-and-stick elephant printed children's wallpaper design with twinkling star curtains and beautiful bunting, the Essex celeb wanted to create a spiritual space that would settle her baby.

By combining brown polka dot wall stickers with cookie-colored bunting, you can create a nursing spot that looks good enough to eat! Naturally, you'll want to swap wooden spoons for wood decor, so a cot, wall hangings and sustainable toys made from this material are a recipe for success.

Instead, a nutty-hued blackout blind is an affordable way to keep baby sleeping through the night without sunlight waking them too early. If you want to add a bright scheme to your ray of sunshine's space, then yellow should be your color of choice.

A simple, neutral color is the perfect place to start a unisex nursery or kid's bedroom. Interior designer and founder of the Slovakian Mimesis Studio, Marek Cegledy, agrees that this is the best place to begin. 'Children’s bedrooms are an ever-changing thing and neutral color palettes are far easier to adjust to a child's ongoing development. Try and avoid the typical pinks and blues and go for less gendered colors – we love oranges or sage greens. 'If you’re keen to steer away from a football-themed boy’s den or a fairy-princess girl’s paradise – we recommend incorporating trending bedroom designs with educational interests such as wildlife, the alphabet and world cultures, that will help to encourage learning early on and help eliminate enforced stereotypes.' Just create your mountain shapes with masking tape and paint in between the lines – easy peasy and you can go with whatever colors you like.
The look great and add some texture and coziness to the room, but they also are good for creating the perfect nap space and even a den as your child gets older.
