The Pink and Gray Baby Nursery
I often recommend a pink and gray nursery to parents expecting a baby girl when either mom or dad mentions in the consultation that they don’t want a pink nursery but still want a room that is girly and feminine. More times than not, when they see how a soft shade of gray neutralizes the overwhelming sweetness of pastel pink; they’re hooked.

The key is to choose a shade of pink that they can live with. Some parents can only accept a shade of pink so subtle that the untrained eye sees only white. Will this pink and gray baby nursery be feminine enough to please mom? You bet! Does their baby girl's nursery have to be frilly and filled with lace to be feminine? No way!


Choose a fabric with a fun pattern in a color that complements bubblegum or hot pink and skip the ruffled curtains to have the best of both worlds.

When decorating a gray nursery for a baby boy, baby blue can present a problem.


A light shade of blue can either: A. clash with the gray paint color

And neither is a good thing. Either paint the walls in a VERY light gray color or be prepared to accent with: a. Turquoise
b. Navy Blue
c. Teal Blue

As I mentioned earlier, gray has replaced antique white and beige as the "new neutral". And what this means is that with gray wall paint color the sky is the limit as far as the colors that can be introduced into the space while still being considered a gender neutral nursery.

To make it work, lots of natural and/or artificial lighting is necessary to visually warm the space.
