When it comes to decorating a nursery, there are seemingly endless options when it comes to themes and styles. But sometimes, the simplest is often the best. A modern minimal nursery can be stylish and timeless – perfect for either gender. Here are some ideas for a modern minimal gender-neutral nursery.

1. Use a good quality rug to define the room’s purpose

You want the nursery to feel stylish and modern, but that doesn’t mean it has to look stark or cold. Adding an area rug at the main door entrance is a fantastic way of creating defined areas in this kind of space. Using a nice, high-quality rug will also help to define the play area and is also ideal for infants that are learning to crawl. Simply choose a color that is neutral and compliments the rest of your décor.

2. Keep furniture simple

Using clean lines, pick up on some of the colors in your larger room’s design scheme with furniture pieces like cribs, shelving units, and dressers. There are no rules when it comes to choosing the kinds of furniture you want in your décor, but you can keep costs down when buying versions that don’t require assembly. Moreover, consider space-saving design options like wall-mounted shelving or foldable cribs for limited spaces.

3. Use non-gender specific patterns

As far as patterns go, it’s best to use gender-neutral prints. Stripes are always an excellent choice for adding interest and depth to any room without the need to overdo it. Try pairing them with other basic or bold colors to keep things interesting. You can also opt for subtle textures in your wall hangings or use them sparingly on furniture.

Choosing a modern, minimal color scheme offers endless possibilities for your nursery. But if you’ve already got a larger room that is well-defined in terms of color, pattern, and layout, you can easily accommodate the kind of theme you want for this space. You’ll also have plenty left over to buy everything else you need for your child’s room.
