A boho nursery is a fantastic idea for parents-to-be who want to decorate their nursery in a gender neutral theme.
Not sure where to start? Here’s our guide to creating a gender-neutral boho nursery…
Create A Gender-Neutral Color Scheme

Creating a gender-neutral boho nursery is all about avoiding those colors that are stereo-typically associated with gender. Baby pink and lilac are too girly and should be avoided at all costs. On the other hand, baby blue is often associated with boys so we suggest avoiding this color too.
The inspiration photo above is a wonderful example of a gender-neutral color scheme. Beige and neutrals make a perfect basis to add gender-specific colors to once the baby is born.
Deep reds and crimsons add warmth to the room without being associated with a specific gender.

Orange, white, olive and burnt orange all give that warm, bohemian edge without being gender specific.
For an extra vibrant nursery, add a printed quilt and wicker accessories.

Deep Blue

Unlike baby blue, deep blue is a stunning gender-neutral choice.
When paired with gold and brown, it creates a stunning contrast that will give any nursery that wow factor.
We adore the wallpaper with the woodland creatures.

Opt For Animal Prints

Stereotypical nurseries may have car prints for boys and florals for girls, but what prints are gender-neutral?
Animal prints of course!
The innocence and cuteness of animals can be applied to any gender, which makes animal prints a wonderful choice.
Create a safari-themed, boho nursery with a mix of African boho prints and animals such as lions, giraffes and elephants.
Animal prints are the perfect excuse to fill the nursery with stuffed toys too!
Add A Printed Rug

The best thing about a printed rug is that it is easily interchangeable!
Start by jazzing up your nursery floor with a burnished orange or red table runner or rug. Once the baby is born, you can easily switch it out for something more girly or boyish.

A statement light is a wonderful way to add a stylish and unique edge to your nursery.
Scandinavian shaped pendants, such as the one in the photo above, will remain stylish whilst your little one is growing up too.

An accent wall with mountains or a bohemian print is a fantastic option for a gender-neutral nursery.
As a matter of fact, the more statement the wall is, the plainer you can leave the rest of the nursery!
Add Printed Accessories

Boho printed accessories are a fantastic way to add detail to any nursery.
Geometric prints such as triangles are incredibly gender neutral and can be reused in other rooms once your child grows up.
