Gender-Neutral Nursery Ideas

If you’re preparing the nest for a new arrival and have resist finding out the gender of your baby, you may be in need of some nursery decorating inspiration. Or perhaps you simply aren’t excited by traditional colours. Either way, forget outmoded ideas of blue for boys and pink for girls and make life easier by choosing a colour scheme that will suit either gender. With a clever use of paint, prints, accessories and the right furniture, you can create a room you’ll feel proud to bring your baby home to and that will work for your family for years to come.

Create something truly unique with Modern Nursery Décor! Sometimes it's the small things that make the whole room...like a Modern Rug or some Modern Wall Stickers can really pull your design together. If you need it, we at #custardandmustardcraft can help out, just send us an email on custardandmustardcraft@gmail.com and we can explain all the options.


Introduce subdued pattern - A nursery decked out in bold printed wallpaper might not sound conducive to a peaceful space, but rest your eyes on this pale palette and see how the star pattern whispers “chic” thanks to the subtle beige. Quiet lullabies in the comfy rocking chair might make sleepless nights feel a little easier too. Available at custard and mustard craft... Read more on luxury rocking chairs in our previous post.


Preserve your interior style - For those allergic to bright colours and busy patterns, look beyond the paint shades typically associated with gender-neutral nurseries (such as yellow and green) and instead choose versatile sludgy shades, such as taupe or grey, more complementary to the rest of your home. Pair with a white cot, pastel accessories and soft muslin curtains for an understated nursery you’ll be happy to spend time in.


Stick ’em up - For parents-to-be in need of quick makeover solutions, or those creating a nursery in a rented house, wall decals could be a clever choice. Available in a vast range of designs, they’re so quick to apply you could even wait until your baby is born to choose an image that suits them. Just unpeel, stick and go!

Choose clever colours - Duck-egg blue is a soothing shade with just the right amount of saturation to add interest to a room without shouting for attention. It suits both genders and can be introduced in layers, to create a contemporary nursery you won’t quickly get tired of.

we are always open to more ideas and what inspires you...please leave a comment and for more pictures on gender-neutral nursery ideas, check out Pinterest (our favourite inspirational site) #wink.

choosing nursery furniture

Having a baby is such an exciting time, but it is a long 9 months waiting for your little bundle of joy to arrive.  In that time however there is lots to prepare - baby names, baby groups, work and most importantly the nursery !  Looking for your dream nursery suddenly makes everything seem a lot more real.  I waited until the last possible minute before buying cot beds and changer for my twin girls (I wish I'd launched this blog/website before!), because there are lots of choices out there so a bit of preparation will hopefully make the decisions a bit easier! Firstly, there is the decision as to whether or not to buy a moses basket.  I did not buy one firstly because I felt a cot bed and a moses basket in the same space was going to cloak the nursery and would not have fitted well and I felt that my new born babies would outgrow it fast! Don't get me wrong, a moses basket is great as it is portable and can be used in your own bedroom during the night, and then dow

Practical ideas on how to make the most of a small nursery

When your nursery has limited space, keep in mind that less is more. Trying to cram in too much furniture can make the room impractical and create a claustrophobic environment. Here are some practical ideas for a small nursery. Think tall, not wide Make use of the height of the room, using tall rather than wide furniture. Slim, tall, one-door wardrobes are available, and some have shelves all the way up. For safety, secure tall furniture to the wall with a bracket or two. Since baby clothes are small, you can install another one or two hanging rails further down in the wardrobe. You can then hang up more clothes. Put shoe racks, storage boxes or a set of drawers at the bottom of the wardrobe to take advantage of the space. If you have space above the wardrobe, tall plastic drawers or baskets can be placed on top. Multifunctional furniture Multifunctional furniture can save space and money. Try changing units with drawers or shelves underneath or those with longer legs that

Quality Mattress equals happy baby

Finding the best mattress for your baby can be hard work. In fact, there are so many styles, makes and models of mattresses but one of the easiest ways to begin is to decide what size of mattress you should get for your baby and the type. It has been reported that latex mattresses tend to be springier and durable for a baby bed. I was recently asked what kind of mattress is available at custardandmustardcraft and I immediately said "the mattress best for your baby", generally assuming that the client is aware of the different types of baby mattresses. That should not have been my answer, hence the need to blog about it and provide more insight to the kind of mattress best for your baby.   It is common for parents to pay more attention to a child’s bed frame, comforters, and bed sheets than to the mattress. This is unfortunate because there is probably no item in a child’s bedroom that is more important to a baby's health than the mattress. Children sleep longer and d
