There are many great reasons for creating a gender-neutral nursery for your new baby. Whether it is because you're waiting to find out your baby's gender, you want a theme that can suit whatever other children come along, you're having twins, or if you're just not into the "baby boy" or "baby girl" themes, here are some great ways to create fun nurseries that work perfectly for a boy, or a girl.

Neutral Crib Bedding

Stripes

Neutral Crib Bedding

Striped nurseries are very modern and can be suited with a great selection of colors to welcome a little boy or a little girl. Some great color themes include turquoise, brown and white; white, red, and taupe, or yellow, grey, and white.

Jungle

A jungle themed nursery is very fun to create. Think rainforest! Bright colors, trees, and exotic animals like toucans, monkeys, and tigers. Whether you buy pictures for the walls, or paint the animals directly onto the walls, it is sure to be quite the sight.

Black and White

Simple and stunning, black and white nurseries are very easy to create. Whether you use stripes, patchwork, or just a combination of black furniture and white furniture, your black and white nursery will be beautiful.

Teddy Bears

So classic, and traditional, a nursery filled with welcoming teddy bears is perfect for any baby. You can include teddy bear pictures, teddy bear blankets, and an array of bears that are small and large placed throughout the room.

Stars

Creating a star-themed nursery can be very versatile. Whether you choose to go for the modern-looking 3-D tin stars, classic yellow stars, or white stars, you can find star-shaped lighting, star-studded bedding, and great wall decorations to be sure your child will grow up...a star!

Patriotic

Whether you choose the true American red, white and blue, patriotic theme, or your native land's flag and colors, creating a patriotic-themed nursery allows your little one to grow up with a full sense of heritage and patriotism.

World

You could also do a slight variation of patriotic and go for a 'world traveler' theme, with décor such as maps, globes, and pictures of landmarks from throughout the world

Circles

Another fun variation of the classic stripes, circles are becoming a nursery hit. You may consider a circle crib, circle decorations, or colored circles painted on the wall, along with a bold circle area rug, this nursery variation is sure to be a hit.

Under the Sea

Another nursery that includes lots of bright colors! Create an underwater themed atmosphere in your nursery, and fill it with tropical fish, seaweed, starfish, and soothing ocean blue.

Artistic

Imagine a nursery complete with an easel, crayons, pallets, and great works of art. Whether it's modern bright-colored art, or Picassos and Monets, your artistic-themed nursery is sure to inspire an artistic little one.

Numbers

Inspire a little mathematician by creating a nursery full of numbers. Maybe include an abacus, numbers on the walls, and numbered bedding.

ABC's

A slight variation to the Numbers theme, an ABC theme is sure to inspire a new little writer. Complete with baby blocks, wooden letters painted on the walls, and famous literary works, you'll have lots of fun creating this nursery

Whatever theme you pick, your new baby's nursery is sure to be stunning and perfect for a little boy, a little girl, or twins for years to come!

Modern Nursery Necessities For Posh Mamas

As a Posh Mama, you know you must have the same sense of style for your new baby. Your little one needs fashionable and modern clothes, style, and most importantly, a modern nursery. How do you do it?

Neutral Crib Bedding

First, realize that it's not as hard as you think it might be. You've got a great sense of style, so use your intuition, and your nursery will turn out beautifully. Modern nurseries are most characterized by their pure, simple, and sleek look. They tend to be geometric with not a lot of extra detail. When preparing to set up a modern nursery, you want to go minimalist, and get the basics, and only the basics. The pieces you purchase will do enough on their own to fill up the room so it is visually stunning.

Neutral Crib Bedding

Go Bold - Modern nurseries are not for you if you like the floral, paisley, or toile looks. Really, you need to think of one strong color, and one or two neutral colors. The neutral color works to help bring out the strong, whether it is a yellow, orange, or red, the neutral color should bring it out nicely. For help deciding color schemes, go to kuler.adobe.com and you will find a plethora of different color schemes that go together perfectly. Find your favorite and then let the quest begin!

Room Accents - Consider vinyl lettering, simple artwork, and an accent rug to give the room some 'pop' with your accent color. Artwork, like the bedding will typically consist of only 2 colors. You may decide to place two square pieces of modern artwork above the crib, or perhaps just one bold-colored cutout. Other mothers choose to spell the baby's name on the wall in vinyl lettering using a modern font. Vinyl lettering can be found by doing a simple internet search for 'vinyl lettering'. And finally, don't forget to choose and accent rug of a single color, to add some contrast to the wood or carpet flooring.

Crib and Changing table - Finding a crib for a modern nursery is one of the most exciting parts, aside from picking the color, of course. Modern Cribs tend to have very little detail, and one striking feature that draws your eye directly to it, with either a rounded or very square look. When you see a modern crib, you will know one. They tend to be white or black, not classic wooden colors. Modern cribs tend to be slightly pricier than most traditional styles, but the cost is well worth it for a crib that makes an amazing impression.

Crib Bedding - When shopping for bedding for your modern nursery, look for patterns that involve very clean shapes, or a single color with a few accents. Modern bedding tends to include a neutral color along with a very bold color that will complement the color scheme of the nursery. Usually shapes are squares, circles, or stripes that draw your eye directly to them.

Nursing Chair - You will inevitably need to buy a chair to furnish your nursery, so you can sit comfortably when your baby wakes up and wants to nurse. Choose a comfortable chair; but to be comfortable it doesn't necessarily have to look comfortable. The chair that you purchase should look very square, or very circular, depending on the style of 'modern' you are going for. Pick a chair that is all one color so it's visible, but doesn't stand out as the focal point of the room. To blend well in a modern nursery, the chair should be leather, or canvas (fake leather is ok.) This way, it doesn't take away from the modern feel you've thus far created.

Lighting - Finally, Lighting. You have many options for lighting your nursery, whether you choose lamps, a light fixture, or wall sconces. When shopping for a modern nursery lamp, find one that has a black or glass base, and a very simple shade; white lamps tend to cheapen the look. If you're going with an overhead fixture, think basic squares or circles without a lot of extra detail. Sconces are possible as well, as long as they're backlit and include a striking color somewhere on the sconce.

Use your own individual sense of style, follow these quick hints and you're well on your way to creating a chic, modern haven for your new baby.

Boy Nursery - 5 Unique Themes for a Baby Boy's Room

Nursery decor sure has come a long way over the years. When decorating a boy's nursery, you are no long limited to sports or cars. Here you will find five unique baby boy room ideas.
Dinosaur Themed Nursery - Dinosaurs have always been neat. Today you can find a large variety of dinosaur boy baby bedding. The great thing about decorating a dinosaur nursery is that it really can grow with your son. The dinosaur crib bedding can be used when your baby boy graduates to a toddler bed. When he moves up to a big boy bed, you can always get solid color bedding to coordinate with the rest of his dinosaur decor. Prince Charming Themed Nursery - A prince charming nursery is a lot of fun. If you know someone who can paint murals, this theme can make a really exciting baby boy nursery. First, find bedding that fits your theme. Either get a solid color boy crib bedding set, or perhaps one with a dragon. Then have the wall mural painted to coordinate. It should have a castle, a prince on a white horse, and maybe even a princess who needs to be rescued! Rock and Roll Themed Nursery - Decorate your baby boy's room in red, black, and white. Paint records and guitars on the wall and decorate with rock and roll art. Whether you want to do a nostalgic tribute to the Elvis, or a rad nursery that is representative of today's rock music, a rock and roll nursery can be super cool. Puppy Dog Themed Nursery - A puppy dog themed nursery can be done in traditional blues or in subdued neutral shades of khaki and brown. You could even decorate with photos of real dogs. Get creative and have fun with this nursery theme. Space Themed Nursery - This is another great theme for a baby boy's room that will really grow with your little guy. Space and rocket ships are as cool to a 10 year old as they are a 2 year old. A neat touch to a space themed nursery are glow in the dark stars on the ceiling. If you really want a bold look, paint the walls a deep shade of blue and the ceiling black.

Neutral Crib Bedding

The bottom line is you should have fun when you decorate a baby boy's nursery. Don't feel like you are limited to a sports or car theme. Think about what interests you and what would be fun and exciting for your baby to look at for the next few years.

Buy Curtains To Go With Your Quilt Sets

The general idea when decorating a bedroom is to get your colour scheme or style in mind and then purchase all the furnishings and decor to match what you have decided on. Clearly this makes sense, if you were to go out and just buy a random collection of assorted colours, styles and textures then your bedroom would end up looking like a bomb's gone off in a paint factory. To help to get everything fitting in together you should purchase matching quilt sets and curtains for your bedroom. Obviously getting as many matching products as possible makes the whole job easier so you should spend a bit of time looking to find something to fit in with the intended colour scheme.

Neutral Crib Bedding

Choosing to go online with your search can be the quickest and most convenient way of doing things as it enables you to search through a lot of products within a short space of time. Most retailers will have a wide range of duvet sets that can be bought with matching curtains so you will not be restricted in your colour or design options. When you buy a set you will usually get 6 matching items within them that will be made up of a duvet cover, two pillow cases, a bed runner and two cushion covers. This means that if you know what colour you want you can easily find a set and once you have it that is the whole of the bed sorted. You don't have to go about searching for a matching runner or trying to find cushion covers that will fit in with everything else. The fact that you can also get a set of curtains to go with the bedding means that your room can be completely tied in so that there is a running style throughout it.

Neutral Crib Bedding

Purchasing these quilt sets and curtain combinations can ultimately end up saving you a lot of time in the search for matching bedroom accessories. They can also be bought at fairly cheap prices and the fact that there are so many different designs that are available means that the majority of people will find something to go with their bedroom decor. Your bedroom should be somewhere you feel comfortable and creating a good general style can go a long way to increasing the comfort levels within it. Spending a bit of time looking for the right products can help to give your room a stylish look.

Contemporary Bedding - Bring Style to Your Bedroom

There was once a time when bedrooms were strictly meant for sleeping. Nobody was worried about bedding, and the overall look of a bedroom because it was generally off limits to the public, and the only time that one would spend in his or her bedroom was for some good old shuteye. However, such a mentality has disappeared over the years, and now the bedroom takes upon a new role.

Neutral Crib Bedding

As more and more people add televisions and computers to their bedroom, it becomes much more like any other room in the house. In fact, one may spend more time in his or her bedroom with both of these electronic devices being present. Furthermore, it is highly likely that friends and family will get a peek at your bedroom. With that being said, it is important to keep your bedroom stylish, but also comfortable for yourself to spend some quiet time alone. Many new age or contemporary bedding sets offer this dual look for those in need.

Neutral Crib Bedding

If you are unfamiliar with contemporary style and designs, or more modern, new age looks, then you can generally expect them to be neutral in color with matching accent colors. However, simply having neutral color bedding will not necessarily suffice. It is important for you to also make a concentrated effort to keep the bedding design as solid as possible, avoiding floral prints and the like. These prints, while attractive, are more old-fashioned than their contemporary counterparts. In addition, it is important that you keep your bedroom clean and clutter-free. While that may seem to be a no brainer regarding cleanliness, it is simply a fact that must be addressed.

Some things that you can do to give your bedroom that authentic contemporary look is to use neutral colors for the main components. That would be the walls and bigger furniture. Make sure everything has a soft and smooth texture. Use other solid colors to accent the room for the smaller items.

Helping Your Toddler Socialize

Socialization is an important part of childhood development that should not be ignored. Some toddlers socialize more easily than others and many need help and direction from adults to truly get the concept. Socialization starts with the parents early in life and can actually be a lifelong process of trial and error learning.

Neutral Crib Bedding

Start by talking to your baby. Respond to their babbles, laughs, wants and needs. This reinforcement and interaction will help your baby to see that involving someone else in their day is a normal part of life. This is the basis for learning how to interact with other people.

Neutral Crib Bedding

As your baby gets into the second year of life, he may see everything as his own. The "mine" stage can be very frustrating and even cause parents to avoid social interaction with other children. However, this is an important stage in development that should be taken advantage of.

Being protective of toys may make your child throw some real tantrums. They are feeling intense emotions that they have never felt before. Remember that it is good if your child makes it to this stage. Now the goal is to coach and help your child learn how to cope with these emotions so that they can realize that it's not the end of the world to share. They may not understand your explanations because they are so overwhelmed at first. However, with a little practice (and a lot of patience on your part) they will see with their own eyes that sharing is not the same as giving away.

Around age two, when they start to get past the anxiety of sharing, children will normally start to become interested in other children. Encourage this as much as possible. Make sure that you call other children their "friends" and talk about how fun it is to play with other kids. It may be a good idea to have your child make friends on neutral ground, like at a park, where sharing is not an issue. You can tackle sharing on a separate occasion.

When your child has some regular friends, invite them over to play with your child's toys. Carefully arrange the room so that it contains toys that are easily shared. Many preschool toys are good for this purpose. Blocks, a train table, an activity table, crafts, and other toys that have multiple items are good for getting started. Once your child learns that it is fun to let other children play with their toys, you can move on to taking turns and other more advanced social skills.
