Unisex Gender Neutral Nursery Themes, Decorating Ideas and DIY

Updated November 3, 2025 by Jan of Unique Baby Gear Ideas

Gender neutral nursery themes are perhaps some of the most popular with modern parents for a number of reasons. If the goal is to decorate baby baby's room for the long haul to save money or time, there is little doubt that unisex is the way to go.

Trendy, unique boy or girl themes are sweet for the short term, but often the baby outgrows the "latest thing" in decorating trends and decor very quickly.

It's not about baby boys becoming more feminine or baby girls becoming more rowdy. This style of nursery design is about getting a lot more use out of your decorations before undertaking a complete makeover.

Gender Neutral Nursery Themes

GENDER NEUTRAL COLORS
Color schemes are important in gender neutral nursery themes. Take care to choose color combinations that are not associated with either baby girls or baby boys. That means baby blue and pastel pink are out, but there are many others that won't get in the way of your unisex baby decorating ideas.

Looking for something more feminine? Visit my Baby Girl Nursery Themes for delicate color ideas in pink, rosewood, and floral prints.

GENDER NEUTRAL FABRIC PRINTS and PATTERNS
Designs in the baby bedding's fabric prints are as important as color. Geometric and abstract prints in unusual color combinations are popping up in nurseries no matter what the sex of the baby. Polka dots would work in gender neutral nursery themes, but they are typically used to decorate baby girl's themes.

Baby bottles, diaper pins, teddy bears and other traditional baby graphics are still widely used and can be gender neutral. The colors of baby blue and pink that are colors that indicate gender should be avoided or mixed into the color scheme in equal numbers with green, yellow or other unisex colors. If you are decorating your baby's nursery in gender neutral nursery themes for financial reasons, classic infant motifs will limit the amount of time that you will be able to enjoy the decor and the mileage that you get out of your nursery decorations.
