Grey Gender Neutral Nursery

PICTURE SOURCE | CLARE AND GRACE DESIGNS

Here's one of my favorite nurseries. This room just looks rich and sophisticated. The wood accent wall makes the room but it takes a lot of work to install.

Not a problem, they make easy solutions to create the same look. Below you'll see my choice for wallpaper that looks like beach wood. They also make wood wall peel and press planks.

If you want to get the look from the nursery above, check out this white wash barnyard one. The installation doesn't require cutting or any tools. You simply peel & stick.

Neutral Nursery Color Scheme

The black, white & grey color scheme is gorgeous and modern. If you're dying for a little color, you could always choose one accent color to introduce into the room with little accessories such as a pillow or a pouf.

Neutral Wall Art

I'm a huge fan of the whimsical wall art. I love the idea of introducing a sweet or inspirational quote in your baby’s nursery. My favorite is the one I found below.

Green is one the most popular color choices in nurseries right now. It works great for a boy or a girl. If you want to add a little touch of green to your baby’s nursery you could paint one wall green, add green wallpaper or add the hue with accessories.

Nursery Color Scheme

I love the sweet soft color scheme in this beautiful room. If you love it too then try starting with all white and then mixing in a little mint green, light blue or purple.

Nursery Style

There's a mix of styles in here that just work including vintage, modern, romantic, and rustic. There is the gorgeous vintage crib, the ottoman that reminds me of a tiffany’s box, the touch of rustic with the stuffed deer head on the wall plus the modern rocker.

Natural Touches

I'm loving the natural vibes in this nursery. To add natural touches to your baby's nursery, start with a color scheme found in nature. Then mix natural textures and patterns.

You can do this with furniture and decor like a rug, pillow or ottoman. Whether you are having a boy or girl natural elements always work.

Rug for Nursery

I love the idea of introducing a patterned rug like this one into the nursery. I think it instantly gives the room more interest and elevates the style. Bonus, it's so soft for those little hands and knees when they start crawling.

Colors for Neutral Nursery

I love this nursery, do you too? The color scheme is sophisticated and natural, perfect for a boy or girl. To copy this look, go for tans, browns, black and white.

Crib for Nursery

This is one of my favorite cribs. You can find it here. The mix of white and natural plus, the modern lines with the delicate feet. It makes a statement… that says I’ve got style!

Accent Wall

Let’s talk about this accent wall for a sec. First of all, love! If you're going to do an accent, I think the wall behind the crib is an awesome choice.

I recommend the crib and the accent wall on the opposite wall of the door, if you can. That way you walk in the room and the first thing you see is the crib and the gorgeous accent wall.

For this accent wall there are a few ways to accomplish this. You could get modern dotted wallpaper, add dots with paint, or the easiest method, polka dot wall decals. I did this in my daughter’s room, and I get tons of compliments.

It's easy, cheap and not permanent. Below there's a link to white polka dot wall decals that would look awesome on nursery walls.

Neutral Nursery Ideas for Small Rooms

Here’s some inspiration for you that shows just because your nursery is short on space doesn’t mean it has to be short on style. In this nursery they’ve removed the closet door and gained a ton of space. The closet now fits the crib, dresser and clothing storage on top.

There are a lot of stylish options for a small space including mini cribs.
