24 Gender-Neutral Ideas For a Boho Nursery

Modern world, modern needs. Inclusivity and gender-neutrality are key goals, and we’re all for it. Traditionally, pink has been for girls, blue for boys, and yellow for neutral, but it’s time to challenge those norms. If you’re looking to decorate your nursery in a gender-neutral style without being boxed in, a boho theme is the perfect choice. A bohemian theme allows you to be playful, creative and eclectic with a natural pallette that allows for the longevity of the nursery as your child grows without being overwhelmed by a single color theme. Here are 24 Boho ideas to get you started on that nursery makeover!
