There is something about jungle animals that is not only exotic but is also exciting, as well. A jungle theme or safari theme is ideal for a unisex themed nursery because it can have whimsical appeal while creating a sense of adventure. Perhaps it’s the idea of gentle tropical rain that is soothing, conjuring shades of soft greens and trailing jungle vines; pools of water with exotic floating lilies; a watering hole where elephants and giraffes come to drink. Themes and motifs for a unisex nursery design are virtually limitless. What is important is to provide a beautiful, refreshing canvas for your newborn girl or boy to sleep, dream and grow.
Non-gender specific colors like soft yellows, pastel greens and mauves or neutral colors such as beige, white, cream and taupe are good color choices for a unisex nursery. You can use deeper shades like burgundy, purple rose, forest green or buttercup yellow as accent colors for one or two walls. Or you could choose two complementary colors, one light, one darker, and separate them with a chair rail or wallpaper border. Including a chair rail into your unisex nursery décor design also adds another decorative element to the room, allowing you to display pictures and other little collectibles like jungle animals and toys. Once the walls have been painted or papered, you can introduce your theme into the décor with safari-related wall art depicting lions, elephants, tigers or giraffes.
The BeBe Chic Monkey Business 4 Piece Baby Crib Bedding Set with Mobile is a perfect way to dress the crib in our jungle theme nursery. The crib bedding set has a chic sense of style. It also has stripes, solid colors and pretty patterns, giving the crib and the room a luxuriously textured feel, creating a cozy place for your baby to sleep.
Accessories with a jungle or safari theme are plentiful and varied. Take your pick: from nursery lamps to musical mobiles to window treatments, you’re sure to find the right accessories in the colors of your choice. For a finishing touch in your unisex nursery, add a floor rug or a toy chest to your décor.

You can make the transition from nursery to “big girl’s” room easier on both you and your toddler by creating a room that encourages your child to play, grow and imagine. Simple in design, this style is ideal for a toddler’s room because contemporary children’s bedroom furniture is very straightforward in form, utilizing uncomplicated lines and simple profiles. Contemporary color palettes range from earth-toned to bright and bold. For a toddler’s room, plan to use a number of colors, since this will stimulate her little mind and encourage exploration.
Because your little girl won’t be using her toddler bed for very long – two years at the most – you might be reluctant to splurge on one. The P’kolino Toddler Bed converts into a handy kids’ chair and back to a toddler bed, should you need another one sometime in the future.
A toddler’s bed is approximately the same length and width as a crib, but narrower and lower to the ground than a twin bed. It is designed to make the transition from a crib to twin size bed easier and safer for your child. Toddler beds usually have sides or some kind of railing, but are not fully enclosed like a crib is.
The bed is the focal point of the room. Dress it up in contemporary style with a bedding set that has a fun geometric, striped or stylized pattern. If her “baby” bedding is still in good shape, keep in mind that most types of toddler beds use a crib mattress and crib bedding.
Having someplace to play is just as important as having lots of places to store toys and treasures. A contemporary style toy chest or storage cube will make your toddler’s room even more functional and practical. A storage bench provides additional seating. By choosing stackable storage cubes, you can add the just right amount of storage capacity you child needs.
Contemporary style is known for its clean lines, geometric shapes and bold colors, which makes it a simple but fun style to choose when designing and decorating a toddler’s room.
