12 Most Creative Nursery Themes For a Boy, a Girl, Or Twins

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.

Stripes

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!

Creative Baby Shower Centerpiece Ideas

A creative baby shower centerpiece will serve to add an air of festivity to your event, pull your theme together, and delight your guests! Centerpieces range from beautiful flower arrangements to hilarious baby themed creations. If you're hosting a home baby shower, you will likely only need one or two large centerpieces, which can be placed in the middle of the table you are serving food on, and on a table that will be used to hold gifts. If your baby shower is going to be a more elaborate affair, such as a sit-down luncheon, you'll need a centerpiece for each table.

Floral Centerpieces

When people think "centerpiece" they often envision flowers. It only makes sense - flowers are beautiful, can be quite inexpensive, and add an air of festivity to any room! If you choose to use flowers to brighten your space, consider a potted arrangement, which the mom-to-be can take home and enjoy. Know it's a boy? Ask your florist to create a blue-themed arrangement, full of hydrangeas, irises, delphinium or hyacinth. Expecting a baby girl? Go pink with tulips, roses, or lilies.

Balloons

Nothing says "party" like a helium balloon arrangement! Have a stunning balloon bouquet created which can serve as a cheerful centerpiece at your baby shower. Balloons should be ordered in advance and picked up the morning of the event.

Cake

At many showers, a stunning cake does double duty as a delicious treat and a stunning baby shower centerpiece! Order your cake in advance, or bake it yourself. Place the cake on a beautiful tray in the center of the table, surrounded by flowers or candles.

Fruit & Candy

Head to the grocery store for colorful, vibrant items that can make gorgeous, inexpensive, and creative centerpieces! Brightly colored fruit can be piled into a basket, or a vase. A citrus theme is fun - choose oranges, limes, and lemons, then simply present them in tall glass vases. Get creative with your knife - carve a baby carriage out of a watermelon or create an adorable monkey theme with chocolate cake and bananas. Candy can be turned into topiary, a wreath, or divided by color and presented in crystal bowls. Not a do-it-yourselfer? Check your yellow pages for a company that creates stunning ornamental fruit arrangements.

Baby Basket

A simple basket lined with a soft blanket can be a lovely centerpiece. Have each guest bring something to place in the basket, then present it to mommy as a take home gift! Choose a theme, such as "funky baby one pieces," "beautiful bibs," or "baby booties."

A unique baby shower centerpiece doesn't need to cost a fortune! Start planning early and come up with an idea that will delight your pregnant pal. Create a masterpiece that is unique to your theme - and have fun watching it all come together.
