Create the perfect gender-neutral nursery with these unique picks

Sarah Prager
By

Neutral colors create a soothing environment for you and your baby during the blur of the first year of being a family together. Without putting pressure on finding out the sex of the baby or what their gender will be, putting together a chic gender-neutral nursery can be an adventure into choosing the perfect items to create a unique space. Gender-neutral nurseries can have many themes, from a starry night to an African safari, using browns, whites, yellows, and beiges, and bringing in some hues of other colors like pink, blue, green, or orange without them dominating the palette. Using organic materials like rattan, jute, and Water Hyacinth brings in these colors naturally and softens the look of the room.

Here are seven stand-out nursery items from Scandiborn that will bring personality into your gender-neutral nursery.
