Ok,
so this is the situation. I don’t really care for a pink room for girls and
blue rooms for boys. I think it’s so interesting that everyone raises their
children telling them to be individuals, yet you start their life off by
putting them in a box. That’s pretty funny if you ask me. It’s something that’s
been done for years, but nothing wrong with changing it up a bit. It’s
definitely becoming more and more popular to have a non-gender specific nursery
but once in a while I get a client who wants a pink nursery and boy how it
disappoints me. I am going to show you here a few non-gender specific nurseries
one which I completed a few years ago and other we sourced from different
blogs.
This
is a non-gender specific nursery I did, and usually when I share the photo many
cannot decide whether the room is for a little boy or girl. Can you take a wild
guess? {Share your answer below in the comments area, and next week I will
reveal the answer} Using a mixture of
coral blue allowed for the room to be suitable for a boy, girl or both. {in the
wild event of twins}
Here is the actual room! Grey and white chevron stripes were added to break up the consistency of straight lines.
This
area is directly across from the crib and I created this to allow for toy
storage and organization in the bedroom. The rug will allow for an open and
comfortable area to play and enjoy all of the toys and goodies stored in the toy
storage.
Here
are a few more nurseries, which you can use to inspire and ignite a few ideas
for a non-gender specific nursery. Feel free to share with any of your
expecting friends, don’t allow them to get stuck with a pink or blue room, it’s
so 1980’s don’t ya think?
This
room is a perfect example of what I like to call a “quick change” room. To make
this a bit more suitable for a boy all one would have to do is change the
flamingo artwork and the pink poms poms to left of the crib. Voila, ready for a baby boy!
The
use of neutrals such as grey, white, beige and a variation of wood grains is
the perfect example of a non-gender specific room. The safari animals add a whimsical touch of nature
to the space as well.
Black,
white and a pop of color, or in this case, your gender color. You can simply change the pink ottoman and
pink infused art work to a navy ottoman and a cool animal print art work above
the bed for a sweet baby boy.
*I will share with you my work but in
order to give you a full spectrum of different styles and options I will show you
work from other designers & sites. I will always mention when it’s my work
