Gender-neutral palettes, wallpaper and camping — yes, camping — feature in the most popular recent nursery photos on Houzz
Few rooms in the home are as sweet as a nursery, for reasons that have nothing to do with decor. But these days, baby spaces don’t have to be saccharine to be considered well-styled. If the most popular nursery photos uploaded to Houzz and saved to ideabooks from July through September 2016 are any indication, many parents are leaning gender-neutral, with gentle palettes that don’t scream girl or boy.
2. Cool gray and white form a gender-neutral foundation for a nursery in this apartment home in Sweden. Here, the palette for baby flows from the colors that extend throughout the home — this little person gets the same color scheme as the adults.

3. What do chevron, shiplap and Mickey Mouse have in common? They’re all decor choices that don’t comment on gender. A practical advantage of this style: The foundational elements are neutral, and accessories can be changed over time as the child begins to show preferences.
5. Gray walls, a blue armchair and white furniture set a calming tone, while pink accents and a patterned rug bring just the right note of energy to this nursery. The daybed offers a convenient resting spot for sleep-deprived parents.
Wallpaper
6. Once considered dated, wallpaper has made a definite comeback in recent years. Here, buoyant hot air balloons breathe adventurous spirit into a child’s room, accented with pops of pink.

7. This nursery shows multiple patterns and textures working harmoniously together. The many patterned or textured elements include the floral wallpaper, striped window shade, quilted crib footer, sculptural chandelier, white-piped easy chair, leopard-dotted throw pillow, cutout lace garden stool and shaggy pink pouf. It takes a careful touch to balance these varied elements so beautifully.
8. The swagged ceiling draws the eye toward its apex, highlighting the formal, very grown-up chandelier. This nursery boasts decorative elements that will work as the baby becomes a child and even a teen.
Pink
9. While some parents are forgoing traditionally gendered colors in nurseries, others unabashedly embrace a love of pink. Here, the palest shade graces the armchair and the crib bumper, set off by accents in mint. The window wall features decal art from Anthropologie.
