\"baby<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Decorate your children\u2019s rooms in a fresh, modern way by steering clear of the clich\u00e9d equations of \u201cgirls\u2019 rooms = pink\u201d and \u201cboys\u2019 rooms = blue.\u201d Think of the color possibilities you\u2019re overlooking! Today, it\u2019s all about embracing a gender-neutral design scheme for your littlest family members\u2019 spaces. Whether you\u2019re preparing for a new baby or building a shared space for a brother-sister duo, follow these easy design tips to put together rooms that don\u2019t skimp on style.\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The True Colors<\/h2>\n

Now that you\u2019ve nixed the stereotypical hues, the rest of the spectrum is up for grabs. \u201cSoft grey makes a picture-perfect neutral for baby boy or girl. Dress it up with feminine or masculine touches once you know your little bundle\u2019s gender,\u201d\u00a0says Domino\u2019s Liz Thompson.<\/a><\/span>\u00a0Greys and other subdued neutral shades create an ideal backdrop for pops of brightness in bedding, artwork, and decorative accessories. Another option is to go completely bold. \u201cSunshine yellow is not only appropriate for both girl and boy, but adds instant cheer to any room. Bright enough for playtime, subtle enough for naptime,\u201d\u00a0writes Thompson.<\/a><\/span>\u00a0An energetic and joyful color, yellow is also known to promote creativity and boost concentration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

F is for Functional<\/h2>\n

Depending on your kids\u2019 ages, the room\u2019s purpose will vary. While it\u2019s, of course, designated mostly for sleeping, little ones also need space to play and learn. \u201cWhen they are younger, most kids don\u2019t need a fully functioning nightstand, so swapping it out for a\u00a0desk<\/a><\/span>\u00a0[makes] the best use of the space while still giving them somewhere to work, draw or play,\u201d\u00a0stylist Emily Henderson shares on her blog.<\/a><\/span>\u00a0If you\u2019re working with siblings in one room,\u00a0bunk beds<\/a><\/span>\u00a0are always a solid choice \u2014 they\u2019re space-saving and practical, and can be separated into individual beds when the kids get older. Classic pieces like\u00a0bookshelves<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0storage ottomans<\/a><\/span>\u00a0give kids a place to keep their most prized possessions organized and within reach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Perfectly Personal Touches<\/h2>\n

“While\u00a0gender neutral is fun, it is always nice to give kids a little something that feels [like] their own and is special and personal to them,\u201d\u00a0says Henderson.<\/a><\/span>\u00a0The most important element to infuse into your child\u2019s room is their unique personality. Incorporate their favorite colors and prints throughout, or pieces inspired by beloved cartoon characters and comic book heroes. And what kiddo doesn\u2019t love animals? From puppies and horses to wild jungle creatures, a zoo theme is nearly foolproof. And let them put their own stamp on the space with a DIY gallery wall exhibiting their best watercolor and crayon creations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
