When
it's just about time to welcome a new family member into the home, you want to
ensure that you're as prepared as you can be. If you're becoming a parent for
the first time, being prepared for your baby's arrival is especially important.
Just because you want to be prepared, however, doesn't mean you have to reveal
your baby's gender if that's something you wish to keep a surprise. Here are
some stunning gender neutral nursery designs for 2014.
Purity
And Peace: Shades Of White
A
design for a neutral gender nursery that is becoming increasingly popular is
one that is full of different shades of white, bringing with it an atmosphere
of peace and purity. Suited just as well to your baby girl or baby boy, a
nursery with white walls and off-white or cream linens will certainly create a
perfect canvas.
Once
your baby's gender is determined, a colored rug or wall decorations can make
the room more gender-specific, though leaving it as an all-white haven works
well, too. Common focal points in these kinds of "purity" themed
nurseries are crystal chandeliers, grandiose white drapery around the baby's
crib, or antique furniture. Mirrors with intricate frames also work well in
these kinds of rooms, and subtle pastels can be added while still maintaining a
gender-neutral theme.
Gender
Neutral With Neutrals And Primaries
Of
course neutral colors work well for creating a room that will be suited to a
boy or a girl, but you don't have to leave out the colors completely in order
to obtain a gender neutral feel. Instead of opting for a light pink or baby
blue, primary colors tend to be more gender neutral, so opt for shades of
green, yellow, and red.
Another
option is to create a multi-colored atmosphere by making use of all the primary
colors in your nursery's decor and design elements, while opting for neutral
colors for the walls, carpeting, and bedding. Using this strategy, you can
create an ultra-modern or slightly retro room, while the vibrancy of the colors
make it an ultra-fun space.
A Wild
Safari: Fit For Boys And Girls
Wilds
safaris are just as suited to boys as they are to girls, and this kind of
nursery theme is one that is especially popular when creating a gender neutral
atmosphere. When creating this kind of a wild safari nursery, you can make
creative use of wall motifs and wall decals to recreate a scene from the
jungle.
Images
of a jungle's terrain, giraffes, and elephants will certainly create the
perfect space for your baby boy or girl. These themes can make use of neutral
colors like beige, brown, and white, while also working in some of the gender
neutral primary colors like yellow and green.
Whether
you choose to go on a "baby spree" with a wild safari theme, or opt
for something a little more classic and modern by using white or primary
colored nursery themes, there are many different ways you can prepare for your
baby's arrival without spoiling the secret. Your baby boy or baby girl will
love their nursery, and you will love the pleasant surprise! If you're on the
