Create a Gender-Neutral Bedroom for Babies and Toddlers ๐Ÿ›๏ธ๐Ÿ’–

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

Once upon a time, it was all about pink for girls and blue for boys. While that might still be popular, many parents now prefer a gender-neutral approach when decorating their baby's or toddler's bedroom.

Several influences have contributed to this trend. Parents are moving away from obvious gender colour biases and are instead inspired by interior styles like the Scandi look, which offers a softer neutral palette. So, instead of hot pink and cobalt blue walls, you might find soothing dove greys accented with icy turquoise, pale apple green, soft yellow, and light wooden tones. ๐ŸŒฟโœจ

Another exciting trend is using bold colors like black and primary shades. These colours are still quite gender-neutral but offer a stronger look, perhaps more suited for a toddlerโ€™s or young childโ€™s bedroom. Don't hold backโ€”your children are only young once. Their lives should be filled with colour, fun, and creativity. ๐ŸŽจ๐ŸŒŸ

A bedroom with neutral-coloured walls and bolder accents in bedding and accessories can easily grow with your child without needing to redecorate. Plus, it makes the room versatile for other uses in the future. ๐Ÿ›๏ธ๐Ÿ”„

An easy and eye-catching painted feature wall can visually anchor the bed in a bedroom, creating a focal point that adds charm and character to the space. ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ’ซ
