Beautiful unisex baby rooms
Cult Furniture
Looking to decorate your new baby's bedroom with a gender-neutral scheme? The perfect nursery needs to soothe your little one, hold all the necessary equipment and provide a calm space for the parents to care for the new arrival. But there’s no need to reach for the pink paint if you’re having a girl or the blue paint if you’re having a boy, as these beautiful and practical gender-neutral nursery ideas go to show.
Coordinate furniture
Mamas & Papas
Keep a small nursery uncluttered and coherent by choosing matching furniture. It's usually sold in sets of three; a cot, wardrobe and dresser with changing table top, and often with a discount if you purchase the full set. The cot is usually height adjustable and transforms into a toddler bed. Then, add character rugs and decorative accessories to personalise the room. An extra dresser in a quirky design makes a fun addition, as you can never have enough storage for baby.
Show your style
Pottery Barn
There's no reason not to decorate the nursery to your own tastes – you're the one who'll be spending the most time in it! A jazzy neon lamp, jet black walls and contemporary wall art that could be taken from the chicest of living rooms still looks wonderful as a rocking nursery.
Wow with a mural
Munks & Me
A wallpaper mural will brighten up a nursery and can be easily updated later. A gender-neutral jungle design with adorable baby animals will enlarge the feel of the room and spark your child's imagination.
Pare back the rest of nursery décor to allow the wall mural to steal the show.
Opt for cute storage
Bellybambino
Isn't it fantastic when brands create adorable accessories that are practical too? We love these simple but super cute belly baskets with decorative animal faces. They are the perfect size to fit under a changing table too.
Go for green
Mamas & Papas
If you’re looking for a gender-neutral colour, you can’t go wrong with green. It’s the perfect choice for a nursery or children’s bedroom thanks to its calming qualities. Choose pale, soothing tones and accessorise with accent colours in muted hues. Or, for a more on-trend look matching forest green nursery furniture will look perfect in a jungle theme.
Mix in monochrome
Winter Daisy
Black and white look effortlessly chic in any room, including the nursery.
Go for white (or pale grey) as your base colour so the scheme feels light and airy then use black and darker greys as accents. The limited colour palette frees you up to be as playful as you like with details and patterns. Winter Daisy has added depth to white nursery walls with black star wall stickers.
Get fresh with blue

You don’t have to stick to pale blues. Pops of navy blue makes for a smart, sophisticated scheme that will appeal to your grown-up sense of style. The contrast between the deep blue and light background will catch your baby’s eye, especially if you incorporate high-contrast patterns such as chevrons or stripes.
Fill the walls with fun
Abstract House
Whether they are from the jungle, woodland or are aquatic, baby animal illustrations and photographs make perfect prints for modern nurseries.
Each one can be as cute as the next, and they especially work well when mounted in a gallery wall setup. Use their colourway as a starting point for a relaxed and soothing scheme.
Say it with words
Followtheflow / Shutterstock
Typographic artwork has been a popular part of our decorating schemes for a while now and so was bound to reach the rooms of the lovable little people, too. Words of wisdom, date of birth or illustrated namesakes can look adorable in a nursery. Or, try a wall sticker, fabric hanging, garland or framed print.
Create a place to sit
Gaia Baby
Any experienced parent will advise if the nursery is big enough to fit a specially designed feeding chair or cushioned armchair. The new job will probably involve a lot of night work so having a comfortable place to regularly feed or soothe is a high priority! Invest in coordinating support cushions and even a footrest to prop you up when you need it most.
Put up practical panelling
Walls panels are an on-trend choice but also practical in a baby's room. As the child learns to stand, sticky fingers may start to adorn walls. So, panelling will offer protection, especially if painted with a darker tone. Peg rails mounted out of baby's reach creates a decorative extra for bunting and small accessories.
Add originality
Selsy Living
Nurseries are an ideal opportunity to embrace the spirit of playfulness and really have some fun with your decorating. Bright, primary colours, interesting storage, fanciful accessories, childish imagery – anything goes. Your imagination is the only limit.
Follow a theme
Crate & Barrel
If you don’t know where to start with your nursery scheme, picking a theme can be helpful. Cute woodland characters work equally well for girls and boys and should stand the test of time as your baby becomes a toddler.
Go for earth coloured designs with friendly faces that your baby will smile at as they develop.
Wallpaper a cocooning nest
Of course, you don’t have to plump for wallpaper aimed specifically at children. Using pretty vintage-style papers can add a sense of playful sophistication to a nursery scheme that's inviting. Look for child-friendly motifs that won't look out of place as they grow. Sweet birds, woodland animals or soft clouds will work. Restrict your colour palette to two or three hues to prevent the room from feeling hectic.
Add sunshine yellow
Photographee.eu / Shutterstock
Yellow has been a gender-neutral colour choice in nurseries for generations. Update the look by going for a more zingy tone. Team a dark grey feature wall with bright yellow soft furnishings and balance the look with warm wooden furniture.
Install a blackout blind
Hillarys
Encourage a sound sleep schedule from the start with a blackout blind.
The thick material will keep the nursery dark early in the morning as well as during daytime naps. You'd never guess this soothing safari print double roller blind would do the job with its bright white background. Complete the cosy theme with cuddly toys.
Darken the tone
Ickle Bubba
If neutral colours are not your scene, let your creativity flow with a darker tone. One wall painted charcoal and paired with a matching two-tone cot will create the feel of sleeping under a soothing night sky. Enhance the look with moon and stars framed prints.
Encourage little adventurers
H&M Home
Keen travellers? Maps are another classic – and gender-neutral – way to add character to a nursery, and will prove an endless source of fascination for your little one when they get a bit older. Add them in the form of posters, wallpaper, murals or even fabric hangings.
Layer bright pastels
Looking for a colour combination that is not pale or bland? Soft sherbet shades will add a soothing and tranquil atmosphere and make the room feel spacious and airy. Create a stylish twist by carefully clashing the walls. Then, bring a soothing neutral into the mix to prevent the room from looking too busy and unbalanced.
Warm with neutrals
Cuckooland
A neutral backdrop and matching furniture will stand the test of time until your child is ready to inject their own creativity into their room. Add interest that can easily be updated with friendly wall art and alternative storage solutions like graphic paper bags and tactile baskets.
Mix and match
Beaumonde
Why pick a single style when you can have lots of fun mixing and matching objects from different styles and eras? Rattan furniture looks boho and relaxed in this jubilant nursery, while a bird motif fabric hanging and delicately printed wallpaper adorn the walls for a vintage twist.
Two-tone the walls
Cuckoland
So many nurseries are all-white so it's refreshing to see a touch of colour. Painted halfway, a pebble grey tone is suitably subtle to add charming character without being too much. Grey matching furniture and an adorable soft octopus character give this nursery a happy-go-lucky and contemporary vibe.
Soothe with a mobile
Baby mobiles can be either soothing or stimulating for babies, so perhaps no nursery is complete without one. With so many styles and designs to choose from, there is no need to compromise on style. And, if one is not enough multiple mobiles securely hung together can become the focal decorative feature for you and baby.
Add impressive wall decals
@theinteriortourists / Instagram
If you’re short on time or not so artistically-inclined, wall stickers are a quick and easy way to add an enchanted scene to your nursery walls.
A forest theme works well in a girl’s or boy’s bedroom. These fern and eucalyptus wall stickers make a stunning focal point as a backdrop to a contemporary green crib.
Make it magical
Pixers
The whimsical misty landscape of this full-size woodland mural creates a subtle wonder wall that's calming and serene and totally magical for children. The choice of taupe for the canopy, chair fabric and cot bedding is inspired – it's soft, modern and suitable for everyone. Experts recommend there should be nothing within grabbing distance of a baby's sleeping area so hang the cloud bunting across a window or pinned to the wall, rather than on the cot.
Create a nursery nook
Crate & Barrel
If you don't have room for a separate nursery or you simply want your baby close for some time why not zone your own space and theirs by wallpapering a corner of your master bedroom? A contrasting shade will keep the area intimate and dark for nap time, while a rounded crib will fit neatly into the space.
Mount storage on the wall to maximise the small space.
Darken the tone
If neutral colours are not your scene let your creativity flow with a striking paint palette and pattern. Sapphire blue and ochre shades probably aren't most people's first colour choice for a nursery but when teamed with an innovative pattern and plenty of soft fabrics the look is rich and cocooning.
Warm with wood
Wayfair
You can also incorporate more grown-up choices when it comes to colour and pattern. Natural wood furniture and a muted geometric wallpaper give this nursery a mid-century modern feel that wouldn’t look out of place in a contemporary living room.
Compose with country charm
Pay homage to your property's period and create a nursery that is country chic. Team classic blue toile de Jouy wallpaper with white nursery furniture for a nostalgic and traditional vibe. Then, blend the farmhouse features into the scheme by painting the wood beams a matching blue-black tone.
Paint on a stylish stencil
Ideal Stencils
If you’re handy with a paintbrush painted murals and stencils are an affordable way to add wow-factor to a nursery scheme. Simple shapes, such as mountains and tree silhouettes are a safe bet if you’re a beginner. Be sure to look for paints that do not contain harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Choose a cool cot
Sleepy Silk
Of course, you can buy baby bedroom furniture in classic white or natural wood but how about making a statement by choosing a cot in a punchy shade or contemporary shape? Block-coloured pieces in dark greys, pigmented pastels and even rainbow brights are modern and make a refreshing change – just keep the rest of the room and soft furnishings muted.
Carve in Scandi shapes
Norsu Interiors
Muted pastels are the perfect palette to choose to create a calming nursery.
And, when teamed with pale modern furniture, the room becomes a Scandi-style minimal space to build on with texture and character. Opt for geometric shapes in rugs, blankets and artwork for a cool scheme that's really easy to pull off.
Personalise furniture
@ashleighholmes_ / Instagram
Make existing furniture nursery-ready with an Insta-worthy update. This mass-produced pine chest has been transformed from bland to beautiful with a feature rainbow design. The unusual earthy tones add a vintage twist that is echoed in the rattan crib and rust-coloured canopy.
Double up
Pottery Barn Kids
If you’re blessed with twins, you may have to decorate one single room for both a girl and a boy. A refreshing neutral and a colour pop theme once again come into their own in this twin bedroom. Add interest with a rainbow-coloured textured rug.
Rock the retro
West Elm
A nursery 'theme' is not to everyone's tastes, so why not choose vintage-style furniture to surround your kid in culture from the very start? Add colour with well secured wall art, wooden toys and a quirky yet minimalist mobile.
Go for Nordic brights
West Elm
Well-made pieces that are as beautiful as they are functional are a hallmark of Scandinavian design, and it’s these qualities that make Nordic style ideal for a nursery. Be sure to include plenty of natural texture and add gender-neutral primary colours in simple shapes for a child-like take on the look.
Add a paint effect
If your nursery is tiny, give it contemporary character with a paint effect. Diagonal shapes in pretty colours can add a fresh touch as well as a shot of glamour. Measure and mark out the design with decorator's tape and fill in the gaps.
Then peel off when almost dry. Finish the alternative style with some jazzy LED lights and a quirky mobile.
Create a night sky
Hibou Home
Stars are a fantastic gender-neutral motif for a nursery. You can add them in the form of star-spangled fabrics or adorn your walls with them using wallpaper, stencils or stickers. The star and cloud wallpaper combined with decorative metal crib give this nursery a charming vintage feel.
Blend with blue
Until the middle of the last century, blue was considered to be a dainty colour more suited to girls than boys. While it may be more readily associated with boys today, its cool, soothing tones make it the perfect choice for a boy’s or a girl’s nursery scheme. Adding delicate patterns and soft fabrics – will give the room a more traditionally feminine feel which makes the on-trend tone a good choice for siblings sharing too.
Keep little toes cosy
Carpetright
Make the nursery warm and inviting with a nursery carpet that is soft and stylish.
Gentle colours such as baby blue, pink and cream are subtle while pretty motifs add delightful interest. Choose a sensible and easy-going pattern like a star print so the carpet won't need to be updated as your child grows. Complete the scheme with pale furniture and matching star-shaped wall stickers that tie the look together.
Work in wallpaper
Mamas & Papas
A neutral nursery scheme can be jollied up by just one wow-factor wallpaper feature wall. A play on ancestral portraits, these delightful animal characters are framed in subtle and stylish olive leaf wreaths. The illustrative designs make the room more friendly and inviting as baby becomes familiar with the shapes and characters.
Fall into the clouds
Mamas & Papas
New neutral grey is cool but in a nursery can look dull. Lighten the mood with fluffy, white cloud motifs to evoke a sense calm and weightlessness.
Add soft accents of yellow and the sunshine will also break through.
Rain down with rainbow motifs
Bobby Rabbit
Rainbow motifs are a classic nursery decorating choice that is appealing for both boys or girls. Whether you chose bright primary shades for a retro and vibrant vibe or prefer to scale down with more muted tones that create a soothing atmosphere, the familiar arches make a fail-safe and timeless solution for happy nursery spaces.
Change is imminent
One thing is absolutely certain, a baby needs its nappy changed an awful lot, especially in those early days. Look out for nursery furniture with incorporated baby changing tables and plenty of compartments for changing gear. A colourful environment or wall-mounted shapes, like these red balloons, for baby to focus on will make the job much easier.
Soothe with pastel shades
Crown Paints
Make the most of a small attic nursery by painting the walls in complementary colours.
Pretty and tonal pastel shades will open up the room and create the illusion of space. Draw the eye by painting a feature wall in duck egg blue and keep the sloping walls a gentle cream. Shell pink will add subtle contrast.
Shrink to fit with small-scale furniture
Make the most of small-scale furniture by packing as much storage into the room as you can. Babies come with a lot of stuff and go through bundles of laundry so having a home for everything will keep the nursery tidy and organised. The petite pieces leave plenty of wall space so utilise this with extra hooks and child-friendly bookshelves.
Mix old and new
Urban Avenue
A cot that lasts from newborn to toddler is a wise investment. This stylish convertible cot is super chic, modelled on 1950s furniture design, and will go beyond the toddler bed stage by turning into a funky sofa fit for a preschooler! That'll free up space for getting them an incredible themed kids' bed when they are older.
Think about first stages
Norsu Interiors
Even if the nursery is decorated and ready a baby probably won't need it for the first few months while they are sharing a bedroom with parents. Make a Moses basket look part of the master bedroom scheme by choosing one made from natural materials and use a coverlet and blankets that match your own bed linen colours.
Invest in the future
Urban Avenue
If the rest of your home is decked out in designer furniture and distinctive furnishings there is no reason why you can't continue this style into your nursery scheme. This ash and walnut cot with matching dresser has heirloom quality and craftsmanship which you could perhaps pass down the generations. When teamed with a contemporary rocking chair and bursts of modern colour, this new-age nursery is the ultimate editor's choice.
Look to the ceiling
Cult Furniture
Catch your baby's interest with a statement ceiling.
Wallpapering fun and colourful prints onto the ceiling – and even continuing them on the walls – is an effective, affordable and stylish way to do this.

Neutral Nursery Ideas – Happiest Baby
Note: While these nursery photos are gorgeous, please know that it’s NOT safe to place stuffed animals, pillows, bumpers, or any loose items inside your infant’s sleep space until Baby is a year old.. —Dr. Harvey Karp
Neutral nurseries are a lovely way to create a soft mood in Baby’s room. Whether you’re “Team Green” and not finding out the sex, or simply like a less heavily gendered or themed approach in decorating, there is so much inspiration for decorating a nursery in a neutral way. From boho vibes to classic lines, pick a simple and tasteful color scheme and the elements that mean the most to you, and create a neutral space for Baby that everyone will love:

nine0041 “Mommy, put the toys away yourself! I don't know who would do it better than you!" - the baby will talk until he has his own room
The organization of children's space is a problem that future parents should think about long before the arrival of a new family member.
The children's room must certainly be cozy and at the same time ... "flexible" - in order to easily accept the changes that will need to be made in the process of growing up the baby. nine0003
Reminder for all parents
“Daughter, sunshine, what are you doing now?
- I'm getting out.
— Where are you getting out from?
- I get out with scissors!
When a child is small, the first thing to think about is the safety of his room.
- Basic furniture - lockers, a comfortable place to sleep, a changing table that can eventually be turned into a chest of drawers, containers for toys should be made of non-toxic materials and should not have sharp corners. nine0066
- You need to consider the location of the bed. Do not install it under a window, under shelves or near a radiator.
- Also, do not hang heavy paintings or mirrors above the bed.
- Free-standing furniture should be attached to the wall.
- It is important to take care of window protection.
- It is worth securing all hanging cords of lamps to prevent falling and damage to lighting fixtures. nine0066
- It is necessary to close the sockets with special devices and make sure that household appliances are installed in such a way that they do not threaten the health of the baby.
If the children's room is designed for two children, then, of course, the best solution would be to have two separate beds or sofas, but in the case when the room is small, you can install a bunk bed. Each child needs their own table and place for things.
Girly and boyish ideas
Little winner's room
"All our dreams will come true"
Walt Disney
It doesn't matter what the child likes to do - sing, draw or play football, smart parents will support him in all endeavors. And, for example, the love of outdoor games is worth it to turn the nursery into a champion's room.
A beautiful thematic design will develop imagination, increase motivation and help you achieve your goals more easily. nine0003
Lions and clowns
The famous Italian actor Roberto Benigni once confessed:
“I remember how in the circus I realized that the clown is the prince. I used to think that the lion or the magician is the most important… But in fact the clown is the most important.”
Let the circus with its bright, juicy colors, magic tents and alluring arena settle in the baby's room! Acrobats, gymnasts and fire eaters, dangerous tigers, funny monkeys, proud lions and clever jugglers will come to the world of a little dreamer. The "circus" design will stir up the baby's imagination and will encourage him to active games. This is a great way to liven up the atmosphere and unleash the creativity of a child. nine0003
Space Traveler's Room
Who hasn't dreamed of becoming an astronaut? The cosmos fascinates us and expands the boundaries of the imagination.
If a child spends all his days studying sky maps and loves watching films about interplanetary travel, why not create for him a “personal” piece of the galaxy filled with distant stars and unexplored planets? Such a design will spur curiosity and involuntarily make you learn more and more details about the Universe. nine0003
Black Pearl
A sea battle or the incredible adventures of sea robbers - why not a theme for decorating a children's room? The bed can be made in the form of a boat with a canvas sail instead of a headboard, and a round sconce porthole can be hung on the wall. Specially made wood or foam parts can mimic the keel or other parts of the ship. So it seems that now a formidable cry will be heard: “Whistle everyone upstairs!” In such a room there is sure to be a place for ropes, wall bars and other sports equipment. It turns out very interesting when such a nursery is designed on several levels. A life buoy and specially selected bedding fabrics complete the theme.
nine0003
Princess Palace
If you are a princess, then... life is good. No responsibility, no one indicates what to do and where to go, you can just have fun and flutter. At least it seems so. Who has the right to indicate to a person of royal blood?
Many girls' favorite color is pink, so it's not uncommon for little princesses to insist on this shade dominating their tiny empire, which is incredibly touching. Although, of course, such a desire is just a stereotype imposed by society. But I really want to please the baby! Repainting the walls, changing the furniture and hanging gorgeous curtains seems easy. nine0003
However, modern girls' bedrooms are as diverse as the personalities of their owners. The interior design uses completely different styles, colors and motifs, and the key factor remains the good organization of the space.
A little about color. Down with the myths!
“Girls are made of caramel and spices!
“No, grandfather, we are made of skin and bones!”
When we see a mother with a pink or red stroller on the street, we immediately understand that there is a girl in the stroller.
If the color is blue or blue, then the baby is a boy. But decorating a child's room by gender can be very expensive for parents. What if another baby appears in the family? If the children themselves do not insist on a certain color, it is worth looking for a compromise. nine0003
- Blue is not only for boys, it is universal. The muted light blue color will create a relaxing atmosphere.
- Lavender, gray and purple hues encourage creativity.
- Fresh lime color combined with pastel will evoke a natural feeling.
- Yellow color pulsates with energy. In combination with white and pastel shades, it symbolizes birth. nine0066
- Walls with ivory or eggshell sheen will reflect the hues of everything in the room.
Conceptual solutions
Northern Suite
Scandinavian style combines modernity, practicality and commitment to tradition. These are light and space, contrast and minimalism, whites, grays and various shades of blue.
However, various soft shades can be used in the interior: mouse and mint, pale pink and beige. Walls can be left white, but geometric patterns won't hurt them at all. A variety of textures and materials creates comfort. nine0003
Follow the advice of the sages of the North: avoid heavy furniture and leave room for creativity. Everything must be airy. And the highlight of the interior in the Scandinavian style can be a yaranga, unusual graphics or a brilliant map of the world.
Children's room with "secrets"
For a child with a developed imagination, even a very ordinary bedroom turns into a jungle, a castle, a doctor's office, or all at once. A blanket becomes a cave, and a chair becomes a mountain... Therefore, not only super cute themes, but also “secret places” can become the basis for the design of a room. For example, built-in drawers and shelves that free up space for creativity and play. All toys and books should have their own place. nine0003
Children cannot fold things if the room is not functionally thought out.
It seems obvious, but how often do parents forget about such “little things”. By choosing fun shelves, bookcases or storage boxes, you can hang labels on them to decorate furniture. When the kids are involved in the process, they will try to keep order.
Canvas for dreams
"Life becomes terribly complicated
when there is a desire to possess things" -
Tove Jansson, one of the fairy tale characters, spoke.
His words perfectly explain why a minimalist approach to children's design leaves a lot of possibilities open. The room can be easily transformed in accordance with the changing preferences of the child. So is it worth overloading the space with "extra" furniture? The decision should be made together with the children.
A clean and harmonious little room in a minimalist style will appeal to boys and girls of younger and older age. The color of such a room is light, pastel colors.
Neutral is not synonymous with boring. White, beige, celadon, grey, purple or turquoise are comfortable without being overly aggressive. nine0003
Furniture can be white or light wood. The game of fresh shades will visually increase the space, make it easier to fall asleep. Accents are a purely personal choice. For example, a room can be decorated with large glowing neon letters - it's fun.
A ray of sunshine is the best gift
To create the “correct” environment for a nursery, you need to briefly return to your childhood and remember what caused awe and admiration then. nine0003
For example, Bulgarian designer Mitaka Dimov designed a bedroom for boys and girls, which is dominated by a delightful yellow color that stands out brightly against the background of gray and white. Golden circles, like rays of light, appear in the form of an umbrella in the picture and on the TV console raised above the floor level, which is convenient for cleaning.
The small desk next to the bed is also yellow.
Such a room evokes sunny, positive emotions, while the neutral color base can remain unchanged, even if the owners later want to change the design. On printed wallpaper with original designs 19The 1950s depicts the rapid flight of birds, which brings dynamism to the setting. The white lamp is made of ceramic and designed in the form of a whimsical owlet. The nursery is decorated with beautiful graphic pictures with a cute white bear cub. Black and white, minimalist images of funny animals, unobtrusive patterns and original lighting elements are suitable for any age.
Modular idyll
The interior of the children's room is undergoing constant metamorphosis, because the tastes and needs of children change with age. And modular furniture, which is widely represented on the Good Furniture website, can help to “keep up” with them. Modern modules are like colorful puzzles that are perfect for creating a joyful and cozy atmosphere.
nine0003
In addition, in small apartments, modular furniture saves valuable centimeters of space.
How a fairy tale is born
Opening doors invisible to us, adults, to the magical world, instead of an ordinary room, children see castle walls, enchanted forests inhabited by beautiful elves or enchanted meadows where unicorns calmly eat grass.
Therefore, creating a fairy tale is not difficult at all. nine0003
Here are some of the most accessible tricks you can use:
- Today in stores you can find a wide variety of wallpapers. Favorite characters from fairy tales can already settle on the nursery wall today. On the other hand, specific characters can quickly lose relevance. Therefore, if the baby loves, for example, Winnie the Pooh, it's a good idea to think about a solution that is only associated with a particular fairy tale. Why not choose honeycomb wallpaper? This approach develops the child's imagination and makes it easy to rearrange the room.
nine0066 - The favorite character of the fairy tale, in turn, has his own saying. Using colored letters, you can make a beautiful inscription on the wall.
- Pastel or white furniture in combination with curly pillows or a carpet will look very original and harmonious.
- Safe and warm... Like in a book about a little teddy bear. A “soft wall” decorated with a decorative panel will bring a feeling of warmth to the interior. nine0066
- Decorative wall stickers featuring your favorite characters or animals are also a great idea. Flowers, stars, cars, animals - stickers are very different. Post them on the wall with your child.
- It is worth adding colorful decorations: lamps in the form of animals, balls or the moon.
- If a child is afraid to fall asleep with the door closed without light, you should think about a series of colored lights on the walls of the nursery. Warm, soft light will bring comfort.
nine0066 - Which of us has not seen this: the wallpaper glue has not had time to dry, and the walls are already painted? Today, there are special films on sale, on which it is very easy to draw with chalk. For the room of a young artist, such a film will be a real find and salvation.
- A closet with a fabulous motif can also be a solution. Such cabinets are available on the Good Furniture website.
Probably the best thing that can happen in a person's life is a happy childhood. Therefore, the most important thing is to approach the design of the nursery with love - and then everything will work out perfectly! nine0003

Children's room design for girls
A bright and cozy "shelter" for your child is the key to a happy childhood. And for parents, the design of a children's room design for a girl usually brings a lot of positive emotions.
Just filling it with colors, you should not forget about the practical side of the interior, which should not harm the health of the precious child, while providing freedom for active development. How to strike a balance, as well as take into account all the nuances - in our article! nine0003
Features of the design of a nursery for a girl
When decorating a room for a child where he will grow, develop and explore the world, many points must be taken into account. Firstly, the age of the girl: is it a newborn or a more mature child of 5-6 years old? Children grow quickly and their tastes change rapidly, so the space in the first years of life should be minimalistic enough, but flexible enough to add new elements if necessary.
At the same time, do not forget that childhood impressions are the most vivid and can become an invisible companion in the child's later adult life. The design of a room for a girl will inevitably affect her attitude, formulate certain tastes, a model of behavior and interaction with the outside world.
You will have to carefully select each element of the decor, focusing not only on your understanding of “beautiful”, but also on the educational aspects of objects. nine0003
The interior of a nursery for a girl should be comfortable and safe. It is good if children have access to objects of interest to them, easily get toys, sit on a high chair. This will teach independence, as well as relieve discomfort in case of failures - even minor negative experiences can affect the character of the child. But you must be completely sure that no dangers await him in the personal space of the child, such as sharp objects, wobbly furniture or harmful materials. nine0003
Children's gender plays a key role in design, helping them identify themselves at an early age. This does not mean that the girl's room must concentrate the maximum number of dolls, flowers or all shades of pink. The world of the child should not be monotonous, but orient in the right way.
It is necessary to take into account the psychological and educational aspects of the interior, but do not fanatically follow each item, being afraid to include an extra object or color.
External aesthetics, uniqueness, as well as practicality - these components will help create a harmonious design of the room, which will become the key to a happy childhood. nine0003
Styling solutions
The guiding thread in the organization of design will be the choice of style. It is desirable that the interior matches the overall composition of the house. But even a slight deviation will look harmonious if you correctly enter the characteristic elements. At the same time, the styles in the space of the children's room will inevitably find a new interpretation, for example, diluted with non-canonical colors.
Children's room for a girl in a modern style
To begin with, we note that such a solution would be more like a teenage girl who has outgrown Barbie dolls and fairy tales. The conciseness, restraint of the modern style will create a universal space in which the child can enter his hobbies or hobbies. But even for younger girls, there is a lot to find in a modern children's room, because this particular style is best suited for unusual solutions.
For example, photo wallpapers with cartoon characters, collections of figurines, items of non-standard shapes. nine0003
Children's room for a girl in a classic style
What else will help realize the cherished girlish fantasies, if not the style of real ladies? The classic will turn a trivial children's room into a princess's chambers, in which the characters of your favorite works live.
Achieve the desired effect with furniture with carved legs and patterns, curtains with lambrequins, a canopy bed or elegant decorative motifs in the decoration. Such a design will bring up aristocracy, a sense of beauty in a child, with which he will continue to go through life. nine0003
Children's room for a girl in Provence style
Born in the French provinces, the Provence style was created for gentle and romantic natures. Pastel palette, floral patterns, light fabrics, antique furniture - using these expressive means, you will be able to embody a cozy atmosphere in the children's room, which the little girl will definitely be delighted with.
Light color scheme will calm overactive children a little. Another advantage of the style is the obligatory use of natural materials, which not only do not harm the health of the child, but also instill a love for natural beauty. nine0003
Children's for a girl in the style of pop art
Creative and active girls with bright interests will definitely like the children's room in the pop art style. Such a space can become a place for the development of fantasy, as well as the realization of non-standard hobbies.
Intense, varied colors, slightly eclectic objects, images with comics or cartoon characters can be entered into the interior design - any element will look appropriate.
Choosing color range
Girls are more sensitive to the environment than boys. Therefore, even a certain color palette of the interior can affect their mood and behavior. Bright colors are acceptable, it all depends on the nature of the child, but pastel shades remain the most popular for the room.
Pink nursery for girls
When thinking about a nursery for a girl, pink shades are the first to come to mind as the main color scheme. And it is not surprising, because this option looks very gentle, touching and clearly demonstrates the age, as well as the gender of the occupant of the room. nine0003
But when choosing the right shade, try to avoid rich tones of pink, combining them with neutral white if possible. This will avoid the banal girlish character of the interior, because not all modern children love standard things.
Lilac children's room for girls
The situation is a bit similar to the room in pink, only it is a more unbanal interpretation of the "girlish". A cold shade will positively affect the child and his development. Such a solution will allow you to fit floral motifs into the interior of the nursery, using different variations of lilac. nine0003
Green children's room for girls
Green refers to today's popular mint, light green or olive shades.
This is a more neutral color that will suit both a boy and a girl, but will certainly have a positive effect on the child.
Green is associated with nature, which is sometimes lacking in noisy cities. By combining it with neutral tones, you can create a harmonious and fresh interior.
White children's room for a girl
In any children's room, the use of white should not be limited to this color. The girl will become bored in a sterile space, and the monotony of the palette, especially at an early stage of development, can worsen the perception of color, hindering the cognitive aspirations of the child.
White can serve as a universal background for other solutions, emphasizing and balancing them.
Beige children's room for girls
Delicate creamy, hazelnut shades will perfectly fit into the style of classical style or Provence, creating a noble mood in the nursery. But we should not forget that beige is monochrome, does not go well with other colors, and only with careful planning achieves the desired effect.
But natural materials look very organic against such a background. nine0003
Finishes and materials
More than an aesthetic look, when decorating a nursery for a girl, you need to pay attention to the materials used. Choose hypoallergenic, safe foundations. To be sure, ask the manufacturers for quality documentation.
Floor
The floor surface must be smooth, but not slippery, so that the child does not fall during active play.
Finishing in a room for a little girl should be selected taking into account all possible pollution options. Parquet and laminate have good characteristics, only dirt that has penetrated into the cracks will not be easy to remove. nine0003
Therefore, many designers recommend marmoleum - a modern, environmentally friendly and durable material that has high aesthetic characteristics.
Walls
Many tests fall on the share of the walls in the nursery: they are painted, scratched, objects are thrown at them.
In addition, the rapid pace of child development suggests a quick transformation of the interior.
Unfortunately, building technologies cannot yet offer a universal solution for wall decoration. You can choose cheap, easy-to-use materials, but they are not always environmentally friendly. nine0003
In a children's room for a girl, wallpaper remains the best choice - budget, but short-lived paper, harmless liquid, high-quality eco-wallpapers and colorful photo wallpapers. But vinyl can harm the health of the baby.
Ceiling
The most suitable ceiling is with cement starting plaster, treated with a primer and painted with white acrylic paint.
Many parents like to decorate the interior of the room with drawings in the form of a starry or cloudy sky. But this solution is not suitable for all children: some may be distracted and, accordingly, sleep poorly. A smooth white ceiling with an interesting chandelier looks simple, but at the same time harmonious.

How to choose furniture for a nursery?
Filling a child's room for a girl with furniture is a crucial design stage. The choice of models depends on the age of the child. It is clear that a comfortable bed will be enough for a newborn. But in just a couple of years, she will need more “tools” to meet her needs.
Keep your child entertained and entertained with this multifunctional set that resembles a separate children's world, including drawers, beds on the second level and a cozy workspace. nine0003
Some girls will like separate, large beds with soft pillows and soft linens. This option is indispensable for the classics, as well as Provence.
Since it is difficult for children to concentrate on their studies, it is better if the workplace is more restrained and not cluttered with foreign objects.
Places for storing things should be as convenient as possible for the child - so that she gets the necessary things and learns to put them in place.
But the choice of gaming furniture is too individual, as well as items related to hobbies. Try only to buy items fit into the already created design. nine0003
Design of a small nursery for a girl
If at an early age the small size of the room does not cause any particular difficulties, then with further filling of the space, the dimensions will begin to limit the freedom of design. You will have to additionally think about how to place everything you need, while maintaining a sense of spaciousness.
We note right away that the classic style is unlikely to fit into a room with a modest area. But the modern one is able to profitably beat the shortcomings of a small nursery for a girl. For example, if you give preference to complex multi-functional furniture with several levels, instead of individual bulky items, then there will be free space for movement and games. nine0003
Visually expand the space will also help some tricks. First, choose a light color scheme that is not oversaturated with patterns.
