Gone are the days when parents go all out in decorating their nursery with the gender of the baby in mind. These days, regardless if it's a boy or a girl, nurseries tend to be more of a gender-neutral space. From being too traditional, the focus has already been on the design and functionality rather than the colour schemes.

Shopping for the nursery? We've got suggestions!

1. Beautifully designed for children from birth to around 7 years old, this Sebra Bed, $1,695, Cuckoo Little Lifestyle, is not just gender-neutral but can also be used in the long run. It is equipped with an adjustable bottom so that you can change the bed from being a cot to a junior bed. Also, the material used is birch, which has been treated with an anti-bacterial, non-toxic wood paint to ensure your child’s safety.

9. Though a gender-neutral room almost always has a neutral colour scheme, you can still add a pop of colour every now and then to add visual interest to the space. You can do so by adding a bean bag or something to sit on just like this whale-shaped Bean Bag Sofa, $138, Ibenma.
