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 are '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 colour scheme and the elements that mean the most to you, and create a neutral space for Baby that everyone will love:
This gorgeous neutral nursery manages to be bright without any garish colours or in-your-face accents. Warm neutrals and a vintage feeling keep the eye moving while fresh greenery, surprising props (like a guitar!), and jaunty earth tones round out the space.
Animal motifs are popular for neutral baby rooms—which depending on execution, could be as loud as a lion’s roar...or as soft as a rabbit’s tail. This infusion of bunny prints in a colourless nursery adds something soft to an otherwise slightly industrial feeling space for a chic baby room that sets the stage for extra sweet dreams.
Beachy photography prints, a beaded chandelier, and a variety of wood tones and wools in this gender neutral nursery are pleasing to the eye and certainly create a soft mood for Baby.
All white everything is the name of the game when you are shooting for a crisp, clean neutral baby nursery. This room is bliss with its blend of whites and creams that serve as a gorgeous neutral space for Baby to learn, grow, and hopefully get plenty of sleep!
Beige does not mean boring! The proof? This artfully designed neutral nursery decor that manages pattern mixing with a limited colour palette. The result is soft, warm, and inviting...a baby boy or girl’s dream.

This polished gender-neutral baby room makes a statement with minimal colour. The mama behind this design integrated subtle plane and sky imagery as a nod to her little one’s name (Jett). Get all of the details about this modern neutral nursery here!
A vintage-look black cot, hardwood floors, and poster-style ABC hanging above the bed give this neutral baby room a cosy, old-fashioned feel.

Light wood for the furniture is a great place to start when putting together a neutral nursery. The earth toned wallpaper and yellow or beige blankets and cot sheet round out the space.
Whimsical monochrome wallpaper against beechwood and gray furniture? A definite win for a parent looking for neutral nursery ideas. Add some black-and-white curtains and black photo frames throughout the space to carry out the theme.
You can bring girly pieces into a neutral, white and gray nursery easily. The oversized blush pillow, pot of flowers, and monochrome floral print on the wall are easy feminine touches that do not overwhelm the otherwise neutral baby room. And that stunning star mobile would be adorable for a boy or a girl.
How about that vacay-inspired ceiling fan? A beachy rug, sandy tones, and driftwood-look mobile above the cot create a cool coastal feeling that is perfect for a baby boy or girl.
Your neutral nursery decor does not have to be totally devoid of colour! Earthy rainbows keep this baby room cheerful and pretty without feeling overwhelming or too bright and bold.
Light White Neutral Nursery
Sometimes the absence of colour can make a big statement! Here, wall-to-wall white opens up the room for a bright, spacious, crisp, clean look.
Funky stripes and black-and-white animal busts give this black-and-white, back-to-basics gender neutral nursery a bold twist. The black lighting fixture and sharp curtains and rocker hit the perfect note for a modern monochrome nursery.
When putting together a soothing neutral nursery theme, integrate a variety of textures to create interest where colour is not doing that work for you. The woven mirror, variety of objects on display shelves, and sweet little palm-inspired lamp with linen shade bring in tons of detail to keep the eye moving in this elegant neutral nursery.
Do not underestimate the power of simplicity—or of the non-colour gray! This lovely gray and white nursery is a neutral oasis for a baby boy or girl. Sweet details like the mobile and word art add baby-friendly touches, while the pretty gray cot, decorative white wall, and simple details make it a space that you will want to hang out in, too.
