Gender Neutral Nursery: Resource Guide

If you are trying to design a gender neutral nursery or unisex baby’s room, you may be browsing tons and tons of images on Pinterest. It’s fun, isn’t it? But sometimes a little easy to get lost or feel like you’re drowning in ideas.

If you’ve already read how to create a gender-neutral nursery, you’ve probably noticed it’s a long post. To make planning and shopping easier, all of the items are condensed here for your convenience. You’ve got enough to think about, between an achey back, comparing pumps, and trying to decide on a pediatrician. I feel you, friend. Let’s cross off a couple things on that long list of yours!

Walls: 

We painted three walls light gray, with a geometric stenciled accent wall.

Stencils:

Royal Design Studio Stencil (this is the one we used)

J Boutique Circle Lattice Stencil

J Boutique Moroccan Wall Stencil Lattice Circle Allover Pattern

Furniture:

Crib: Delta Children Bentley 4 in 1 Crib, White

Glider: Lily Upholstered Glider, Babies ‘R Us

Lamp: Target (currently unavailable); try similar Bubble Up Lamp Base at PB Teen

Dressers: hand-me-downs from family, but we own an IKEA Hemnes dresser that would double duty as a changing table.

Bedding:

Crib Skirt #1: Carousel Designs Mint Herringbone Crib Skirt, 14-inch

Crib Skirt #2 (more affordable): Herringbone Aqua Crib Skirt with Pleat Etsy

Sheet (organic): Carousel Designs White and Gray Polka Dot Organic Crib Sheet

Sheet (flannel): Trend Lab Gray Dot Deluxe Flannel Sheet

Decorative Accents:

Blankets: Aden and Anais (these are functional too, but they are oh-so-beautiful)

Rug: Home Goods or Safavieh white shag

Ceramic Owl: Burlington Coat Factory; find similar a one at Overstock or a distressed one at Amazon 

Curtains: Home Goods

Bins: Gray and White InterDesign

Books: To build baby’s first library, start with these favorites.

Art:

Etsy is the best game in town for affordable, printable art. It’s so easy to create a personalized gallery in no time! Mix and match frames that you may already own.

Registries: the biggest perk about creating an Amazon baby registry is that you can add items to it from any site. It’s a great way to keep everything you want in one place. We used both of these:

Amazon Baby Registry

Babies ‘R Us

As a side note, signing up for Amazon Prime was one of the best things I did after giving birth. We’ve never looked back. Some new parents love to get out of the house frequently with a newborn, but I was too overwhelmed in those early days to pack up and get to the store. Plus, when you’re sleep deprived, you’ll realize ten minutes after getting back from the store that you forgot wipes. The free shipping is such a delight when you’re unshowered and tired. Be smarter than me and sign up before the baby comes, so you can start ordering now!

Good luck with your nursery and share your photos with us with your end results!
