Your new sweet baby is about to become the center of your universe, so why not go with an outer space themed nursery?
There are so many great options to make your baby’s room totally out of this world. Navy blue starry night skies with bright dots of stars create a dark and calm nursery mood.
There are also more neutral and bright options that pair well with gray and beige tones on this list.

Moon and star nursery decor is a brilliant theme to pick because it’s possible to make it gender neutral.
A gender neutral nursery is helpful not only if you’re unsure about if you’re having a baby boy or baby girl but also if you plan on putting another child in the same nursery room eventually and would like to save on redecorating. If you’re interested in more gender neutral nursery decor you can find more ideas here.

Adding a moon and a star pillow to your baby’s room is a great way to add something soft and cozy to your themed nursery.
Little accents like this can really help create the perfect space for your little boy or girl. There are so many of these pillows that use a neutral color scheme, which is great if you’re waiting to find out the gender.
Consider adding one of these pillows to your rocking chair or glider. A large crescent moon pillow might even double as a nursing pillow in a pinch, haha!
