Serene Gender Neutral Nursery Design

by Kerri

We decorated in a gender neutral nursery design because we don't know the sex of the baby. Getting started we chose to paint the walls a soft gray color (Sherwin Williams Functional Gray) which is a lovely contrast to the green and white damask baby bedding set (from Etsy seller Fingers and Toes).

THE WINDOW TREATMENTS
I used ribbon that I found at Joann Fabric that closely matched the fabric of the green and white damask baby bedding perfectly to use as tiebacks for the sheer curtain panels that I bought at Meijer.


THE BABY NURSERY THEME

My hopes are that I hit the target on choosing decor will suit either a baby boy or girl.
The artwork was the inspiration for the owl and bird nursery theme. The tree wall decal that you see in the pictures (from Etsy seller Janey Mac Press) caught my eye because decorating with birds is so hot right now.

SHOPPING TIPS

Once I had an idea of what I wanted for the baby's nursery theme, I knew which nursery furniture and decor I wanted to purchase. From that point on, I kept a watch on the websites and stores for deals on the items that I needed.

The baby's crib is Baby Mod by Million Dollar Baby ordered from walmart. The dresser and night stand are Canopy, the nursery glider and ottoman are Storkcraft brand and all came from Walmart.

As luck would have it, almost everything I bought for the baby's room was on sale. It's a little difficult to get discounts and deals on custom baby bedding orders and stuff you want from Etsy stores, but you can definitely find sales, coupon codes and the like for just about everything else.

PERSONAL TOUCHES for our BABY'S SERENE GENDER NEUTRAL NURSERY DESIGN


I have wooden letters from Hobby Lobby that I plan to hang above the crib to spell out the baby's name after the baby is born. I also bought some artwork, Alpha Birdies and Counting Birdies Artwork (from etsy seller Blue Finch Studios) and art from Babies R Us that will work for either a baby boy or girl nursery.
