With gender neutral kids’ bedrooms, colour is key! Avoid baby pinks and blue and instead go for a more varied colour pallet inspired by the colours of a rainbow. Dark walls look great in adult spaces, and can look edgy and cool in kids’ rooms too. By being more open with your colours means you can shop for accessories in any shop (not those just aimed at children).

Green is a great colour for kids’ rooms. The shade encourages creativity, calmness and relaxation – what a better wall colour for your child’s bedroom. If you want a bedroom that acts as a playroom too, then a house-shaped bed is just the ticket. Hang some fairy lights around the edges for night time sparkle. Your kids will love having their own indoor playhouse or treehouse.

If you want a gender-neutral bedroom, look forgender-neutral furniture in natural wood tones, black, white or even painted grey.

Match simple, neutral furniture with walls painted in bold patterns and add pops of color with accessories like cushions and throws. That way you’ll get a bedroom that grows from toddler through the tweens, and works perfectly for boys and girls.

Cute animal printed wallpaper in burgundy, teal and dark brown with animals with simple designs give this gender neutral kids’ bedroom a distinctly Scandi look and feel.
