21 Beautiful Baby Girl Room Ideas That Are Not Pink
1. Warm Neutral Scheme
Warm, elevated neutrals are incredibly popular in interiors right now, and the beauty of them is that they’re unisex too.
Warm taupes, sandy beiges or even elevated greys are wonderful options that are warm and ideally positioned in any nursery, no matter the aspect of the room.
The delicate, dainty wallpaper above the panelling just helps to lift the overall scheme here.
2. Delicate Wallpaper
One of my favorite ways to decorate a little girls nursery is with wallpaper! The choices are endless and you can lean into whatever color you like best.
It’s important to remember that wallpaper is artwork, so it’s totally subjective. Just choose a pattern that you personally love, and the room will work for you.
I love how the curtains have a clashing pattern for a really whimsy look.
3. Blue & Red
Forget everything you know about the stereotypes of blue. Blue and red make for one of the best combinations in a little girls bedroom, and it’s a wonderful coastal scheme to follow.
Adding a nice pop of red in some way also helps to tap into the ‘unexpected red theory’. This theory suggests that a pop of red is the magic finishing touch to pull any color scheme together in an interior.
4. Lean Into Green
Green is always a good idea because it’s the easiest color on the eye. Create more of an earthy inspired look by using a mid-deep green in an olive shade.
Wall decals are another way to add further embellishment to a room, and to avoid a painted wall looking ‘boring’.
5. Warm Terracotta Tones
Pink may be off the cards, but a lovely warm terracotta tone is perfectly suited to a little girls room, and it’s so warm and uplifting.
This color will tick all the boxes in both light and dark rooms. Layering with some tones of red as shown below really brings the warmth out in the terracotta wall paint.
6. Bright & Breezy White
A universal color that you can always count on is white! A lovely base color for a nursery, and one you can build plenty of color into, no pink required!
When choosing a shade of white, try not to have a knee jerk reaction to a bright white shade. Instead look for an off-white with a warm or cool undertone, depending on the light the room receives. It will make the room feel so much more comfortable for you, and baby to be in.
7. Include The Fifth Wall!
Including the ceiling in your design plans is the new thing! They’re no longer being left as an afterthought and they can bring some serious character and color to a nursery.
Wallpaper is a fun approach that can totally lift a nursery, just tonally match a color from the wallpaper into an accent or wall color in the room for an intentional feel.
8. Deep Aubergine
This deep aubergine shade is a really mature approach for a baby girl room that feels cosy and sophisticated.
A color such as this would work well in a very light or sunny south facing room as it will help to temper the intensity of the sun. Team with lighter neutrals for a beautiful balance.
9. Yellow & White Classic Stripes
Yellow and white? A true match made in heaven. Butter yellow has been one of the trending interior colors of the year, and it just fits into a baby’s nursery beautifully.
Paint it in a stripe detail like the below, or purchase a wallpaper for a pre-done look that works.
10. Understated Neutral
A traditional, understated neutral will bring a touch of sophistication to your baby girls room, and if your interior is styled in a similar way, it will help all of the rooms to connect and speak with one another.
Grey-green based neutrals are a great choice as they’re adaptable to both light and dark conditions, and they appear like a different shade in different lights.
11. Floral Accent Wall
Accent walls are perfect for creating a focal point on a crib wall. They draw the eye in and can be a fun, characterful addition to a nursery.
Florals are feminine, uplifting and there are so many choices of wallpaper that don’t have to include pink!
12. Naked Mouldings
There’s so many different ways to do panelling these days, and they are just a fab way to add instant character to plain walls.
This wainscoting look below is traditional, but instead of painting the mouldings in the same color of the wall, they’ve been left for a unique and natural finish. If you like earthy interiors or minimalism, this is a lovely way to do it.
13. Soft Grey
The right shade of grey can still be enduringly stylish and timeless. It’s soft, cool and really does work well in a little girls nursery.
Adding some soft white drapes or curtains creates such a lovely balance. Support with a brass curtain pole to introduce some natural warmth.
14. Wallpaper Drench
Okay, so instead of stopping your wallpaper at the ceiling and painting it, take it up and over for a wallpaper drenched look that’s bang-on trend and super cute for a little girls room.
Gingham is a true classic when it comes to pattern in an interior, and so easy to work with!
15. Colorful Florals
Dainty, feminine florals in the way of wallpaper creates such a whimsical look in the nursery below. Adding clashing prints to the walls creates an eclectic look that feels fitting of a nursery.
16. Half Wall Panelling
Okay, so a little bit of pink, or leaning into more of a sultry pink can be a grown up way if you do still want to use pink in a girls nursery.
Half wall panelling creates a lovely base in a room like this, if using paint colors on the bottom and top, always use your darker shade on the lower half as it will define and ground the room.
17. Clad The Ceiling
We’ve seen paint and wallpaper, but what about cladding the ceiling instead? Such an interesting look that’s natural and will tap into an earthy inspired scheme perfectly.
Team with warm neutrals and earthy colors such as cream, red and green for a cozy scheme.
18. Soft Off-white
A grey based, soft off-white is a versatile paint color that’s well suited to sunny baby girl nurseries.
Virtually any color will work well with it, and it’s just the most perfect base!
19. Sandy Beige
Sandy toned beiges are warm, cosy and ideal for creating unisex nurseries that are stylish, and ultra relaxed.
Lean into a color drenched approach, this includes painting the walls, ceiling and woodwork in the same tone. It creates a much cozier look and is effective in both small and large rooms.
20. Natural Inspired
If you have a neutral base in your nursery, introduce some natural warmth with natural elements. This includes materials such as wood, rattan, linen and wicker.
There’s so many easy ways to achieve this in a nursery with flooring, a crib, artwork, baskets and lighting!
21. Joyous Yellow
Yellow feels good for the soul, and there’s so many different nuances of the shade to choose from.
Mustard yellows like the below look beautiful in a half painted wall idea, create a scallop pattern by drawing around a circular object such as the base of a mug. Using a soft off-white on the upper part of the wall draws the eye up.
Now, who said pink was the only color for a girls nursery?
