We can’t get enough of these unique gender-neutral nursery color palettes 😍

1. Mint colorways

“What’s really popular are subtle mint shades paired with organic neutrals (think textural ivory and wood tones) with soft pops of black and white, creating a soothing retreat for you and your little one,” says Decorist designer Meg Weber. When used in its more vibrant shades, mint can add moments of playfulness and it blends itself well to maximalist spaces . “There is a strong case for calling this shade of green, in its more subtle hues, the new grey,” says Weber. “It feels updated and can act as a neutral itself while adding more dimension.”

2. Blue + yellow balanced with brown + grey

It’s important to remember that blue isn’t just for a boy nursery, and pink isn’t for girls. The color of your nursery is all about colors you like that make you feel good. You want it to be your happy place.

A blue and yellow palette is a great foundation for any nursery. “This color palette is a classic that strangely feels new again with the infusion of brown and gray furniture in fun colors and bohemian accents,” says Weber. “The key is to keep a neutral ground so the blues and yellows pop in a modern way and work with bold geometric shapes. This palette is another great gender neutral option that can also grow with your tot.”

3. Jewel tones + vibrant tropicals

Jewel tones are officially trending in 2020 and it feels especially fresh when paired with tropical accents and hints of blush. If you’re looking for depth in your nursery, go for rich colors like sapphire, topaz, emerald, ruby and amethyst. This palette works best when executed with a maximalist approach, layering color on color and mixing bold patterns with natural materials. If you’re new to the trend, and not quite sold on it, start small with a jewel tone rug. Rugs are a great way to add color without fully committing.

4. Neutral Bohemian colors with a touch of terracotta

When it comes to Bohemian colors, you’ll want to look to browns, greens and grays. Think of 1970’s design when creating a Boho aesthetic—it’s all about mixing colors, patterns and textures. “While I’m personally not a huge fan of Boho, I do love the serene and neutral space it creates,” says Decorist designer Belinda Nihill. “Layering texture rather than color is such a beautiful way to do so. For boys, I love adding leather and timber to the soft neutrals; for girls, it’s the palest of blush tones.”

For terracotta colors, you’ll want to look for earth tones that land somewhere between orange and brown.

“Brooding hues are also trending across the board in home decor and translate beautifully to nurseries,” says Weber. Moody hues like blue, green and gray undertones are soothing and can make both large and small spaces feel extra cozy. They also look lovely paired with dark greys and rust, and can be infused subtly or saturate a room.
