Periwinkle Blue & Green Modern Nursery

Blue & Green Baby Girl's Room

Modern Blue, Green, & Brown Gender Neutral Baby Nursery

Blue and green are beautiful color combinations for decorating a baby nursery. Whether you go modern or classic, boy or girl, it’s hard to go wrong as seen with these inspiring blue and green nurseries featured by Better Homes and Gardens.

Take this nursery of cozy color combo of periwinkle blue and sage green accented with a white crib and other neutral colored accents – like the natural straw colored storage baskets. It emenates serenity and calm. The two toned painted blue walls provide delightful visual interest along with vintage-looking wall art. This is a lovely color scheme for a gender neutral nursery that can be embellished with more boy or girl accents once baby is born.

We like the colors of this soft aqua blue and celery green baby girl nursery. The tree wall decals (or wall stencils) with flowing branches cleverly create a natural canopy for the crib. The striking white furniture and aqua blue tones are warmed up with the celery green and a touch of mocha brown. Notice the use of throw pillows to bring that extra personality and visual texture to the baby girl’s room? Throw pillows are an easy and relatively inexpensive way to decorate your nursery that should not be overlooked.

For a very modern blue and green nursery, consider a color palette of light aqua blue, teal green, and light celery green made sharper with chocolate brown. The wall grid was painted on a white wall using one inch painter’s tape. The paint colors are Cachepot Green, Tahitian Teal, Azul, Swimming Pool, and Sweet Pea from the Casual Colors wall paint collection at Wal-Mart. The delightful ceiling mobile was handmade by the owners with plywood and hung at various lengths from the ceiling. Again, it’s fun to see the pop of the throw pillow with a starburst of celery green. Such great inspiration for a modern baby boy’s room!

Closet & Storage Ideas for a Twins Nursery by Designer Anne Pamfilis

Yellow, Green, & Blue Modern Twins Nursey by Jane Lockhart for HGTV

Decorating a nursery for boy and girl twins requires a bit more creativity than usual to ensure you end up with a functional and beautiful space. Let’s focus on the functional stuff first.

Multi-gender or not, each child needs a crib. There are many options so you should be able to find a style that fits your budget. You will only need one changing table, but you will find it invaluable to have two adult seating options in the event of concurrent late night feedings. Gliders can be large so try to find ones that are on the smaller side. And, don’t forget a diaper genie and laundry bag.

Organization is also important as it can get chaotic as you scurry about to calm two highly vocal little ones. Separate items in closets well using storage bins and drawer organizers to keep things tidy.  This closet for twins (published by Better Homes & Gardens) designed for the Baltimore Symphony Decorators’ Show House by Anne Pamfilis is a perfect example. Note the use of shelves to create more usable storage space.

Now, on to the fun part – decorating a beautiful baby room for your twins.

With regard to décor, there are many ways to be creative. You can keep it gender neutral for your boy and a girl like Jane Lockhart did decorating a boy and girl twin nursery for HGTV. Using soft yellow and green and a navy blue for pop, she created a beautifully modern twins room.  We love the yellow painted ceiling and the neutral colored cribs and hard wood floor which add warmth. And, personalizing the window valences with stencils is a nice touch.

Speaking of personalization, you can use one primary decorating color and then use a different color as a differentiating accent for each child. Well coordinated with the closet, designer Anne Pamfilis designed these twins’ nursery in yellow and then used blue and pink accents to personalize the area for each baby.  This way, she was able to give each child a look and feel of his and her own, yet maintain cohesiveness in the design of the room.

Another décor idea for multi-gender twins’ rooms is to use patterns to add visual differentiation. Try polka dots for your baby girl and stripes for your baby boy in coordinating gender neutral colors like green and yellow.  Circles and squares would work equally well.  Another easy solve is to find cute bedding in different colors, but that use same pattern like this pink/chocolate brown and blue/chocolate brown baby bedding set by Trend Lab.
