Designing a baby room for your little boy or girl? The color green, often overlooked in favor of more popular gendered picks pink and blue, or the classic neutral choice of white, is having a moment. Green opens up a world of possibilities from bright and cheerful to soothing and sweet; from bold and edgy to natural and soft.  

Whether you’re going for statement pieces against a neutral background, or an all-out green scene, here is some gorgeous green nursery inspiration for your home.
