If you’re the parents who are waiting patiently until your baby is born to find out the gender or you just prefer to stay away from traditional blues and pinks, you’ll want a gender neutral nursery. You can decorate this any way you choose by using colors that are reserved for boys and girls, like gray, yellow, and white. No matter how you decorate it, it’ll suit every gender of baby and every personal style, so it’s great for those who can’t settle on a specific look as well.

A safari theme is perfect for all genders and you can go as crazy or as minimalist as you want. Best of all, the stuffed toys you were already going to purchase for the nursery will be right at home in this animal themed room.

If you’re a parent who loves the vintage or bohemian look, this is the nursery for you. A boho nursery is a popular choice these days because of the effortless chic it brings, making it ideal for the coolest baby on the street. A boho nursery might feature vintage wallpaper, antique rocking chairs, old records hanging on the walls, and eclectic choices in furniture and lighting. A boho nursery never goes out of style and it’s a great way to make use of any cheap, vintage finds that you might have laying around the house.

Some parents like the traditional look of a nursery and don’t want to venture too far with any modern trends, and that makes the classical nursery your perfect choice. In a classical nursery, you can expect to find things like blue and pink plush toys, carefully decorated bookshelves, patterned wallpaper, and hanging mobiles featuring cutesy animals like ducks and rabbits. You can find loads of inspiration from previous generations and maybe even utilize some of your old baby furniture if your parents managed to keep it.

For the bold baby or parents who want to try something dramatic, a monochromatic look is ideal for the nursery. Keep colors out of this room and instead focus on the blacks and whites, making it look nothing like a baby’s room. The best thing about this style is it transitions so well to their toddler years because there’s nothing too infantile about it, and you can easily transform bits and pieces you have by painting them yourself. Think geometric shapes on the mobile, black and white bedding, and a standout monochromatic rug to tie it all together.

One of the best things you can do with your baby and child is read to them, so why not center their entire nursery on this theme? There are so many unique bookshelves you can utilize and there’s potential to decorate the walls with images of literary greats like Alice in Wonderland and The Cat in the Hat. Most importantly, there should be plenty of books in there that suit kids of all ages from baby to grown-up years.

Comfort, Style, and Practicality
It can be so much fun planning for your baby’s arrival by decorating their nursery and it’ll give you something to do while you count down the months. A modern nursery should have comfort, style, and practicality all kept in mind, so after you come up with your creative vision you need to organize the basics.
All good baby nursery ideas need to make sure they have the essentials covered for feeding, sleeping, and resting. While style is very important, making sure you and baby are taken care of and have everything you need is even more crucial. Therefore, equipping a nursery with a comfortable chair and a supportive nursing pillow is the finishing touch that every room needs.
