Start with neutral colors such as cream, beige and gray. Even soft taupes, pale browns or earth tones would work well, too. This is to create a backdrop for more colorful accessories like sports theme bedding, window treatments, baseball bears, pennants and other fun collectibles. You will want to avoid having too much color in one space as this can make the nursery feel crowded, cramped or cluttered. Or you could reverse it – put colors like bold red, blue or yellow on the walls and pair them with neutral toned window treatments and an area rug that have subtle splashes of color.

The Sorelle Sophia 4-in-1 Convertible Baby Crib, while it does include decorative elements, is perfect for a baby boy sports themed nursery. This richly finished crib will make the ideal foil for baseball memorabilia. Some parents prefer to purchase a crib set since it saves time having to match the other pieces of nursery furniture that they might need such as a changing table and a dresser. Buying a nursery crib set also saves money, since you are not purchasing each nursery furniture piece separately.

Have a ball accessorizing. Select crib sports theme bedding that will add a fun and colorful vibe to the room. When deciding on what kind of window treatment, whatever you choose, make sure that it matches at least two other main décor elements in the room like the wall color and the crib bedding that you purchased for the crib. An armoire, toy chest or toy storage bench makes the room more functional and will grow with your child when the baby nursery furniture is no longer needed. Look for picture frames and collectibles like the Lite Source No Base Triple Bat Lamp that celebrate the spirit of our national sport.

Start with a can of paint. Choose one that is non-toxic. When planning a nursery for twins that are one of each, designing a gender-neutral nursery will create a welcoming atmosphere for both. Select colors that are not shades of pink or blue. If you know whether you are expecting boys or girls you can opt for the more traditional colors like blue or pink.

While soothing and comforting, a nursery should also be a place that will stimulate brain activity and the senses of your twins. Pick a theme with this in mind. Some of the more popular nursery themes are:

• Jungle animals / safari
• Farm animals / domestic pets
• Lady bugs / butterflies / bees
• Sun / moon / stars / planets
• Little Mermaid / Winnie the Pooh
• Flowers / trees
• Sea / pirates / nautical 

 The basic pieces of baby furniture you will need are two cribs, a changing table and a dresser. Especially if the space is smaller-sized, you will need to make everything fit, and in such a manner that you can move easily around the room. A changing table like the Badger Basket Diaper Corner Baby Changing Table that fits conveniently in a corner could be the ideal solution when trying to make the maximum use of available floor space. Selecting multipurpose items like a dresser/change table is another way to make your twins nursery a little roomier.

Whether the space is ample or smaller sized, storage will be an important aspect of designing a nursery for your twins. Choose a dresser with multiple-size drawers; units with a number of storage options like a combination of cubbies, shelves and drawers; or armoires with compartments that can be easily adapted for baby one and baby two.

When accessorizing, add a little individuality. Yes, they are twins, but by giving them complementing rather than matching nursery crib bedding, area rugs and/or mobiles, you will be “visually” making a distinction between the two with the use of color and pattern.
