Very recently, my friend Louise had a baby girl.
Throughout her entire pregnancy people had said she was having a boy and — given the fact she already has a little boy — it wasn’t beyond the realms of probability!
50/50 in fact ;)
But when the announcement came that my lovely friend was the proud mother of a baby GIRL there was mucho excitement!! Particularly as it meant she could now start looking at lovely feminine nursery styles

Fresh Nursery Ideas That Are Gender Neutral
Louise has asked me for some nursery inspiration in green white and yellow. This colour-scheme is so lovely and fresh and as her new baby daughter is called ‘Daisy’ it’s quite a fitting palette too :)
Knowing my friend — and her tastes — I’ve shied away from ultra modern wallcoverings.
She and her family live in a period property and I’ve gone for a more classic look, that can grow with Daisy and still work when she’s a little girl — as well as a baby.

Nursery Shelf, Nursery Wall Art and Nursery Prints
That said, whilst it’s nice to keep the wall coverings fairly neutral, it’s always love to throw in a few lovely bright additions to stop things looking too grown up.
You can buy lovely nursery wall art and nursery prints to really make an impact on a space. And take nursery from bland to bold in one easy step.

Nursery Inspiration in Green White and Yellow
So, there’s my little round up of nursery inspiration in green white and yellow!
Some of these bits could work equally well for a boys room too — have got my eye on the cloud changing mat, shelf and lamp for the twin’s room (!)— but I’ve thrown in a little splash of pink and a few floral patterns too, to stop it all from looking too ‘samey.
Perfect pieces for a little girl named Daisy!

I love how this colour scheme is so different from the usual. It’s makes me feel like I’m chilling in the garden – a nice, relaxing feel. I love the changing mat, and I have the Ikea lamp in blue, it’s really good. It’s so exciting decorating a new baby’s room :-)

I like something a little different for a baby’s room. Sickly sweet pink and blue isn’t my bag at all. It’s nice that they can have something that will last a little while longer than 6 months!! :)
That Emma Bridgewater wallpaper is gorgeous – and so’s that rug – and perfect for a little girl called Daisy :) #HomeEtc
Aaah I love the rug too Stephanie!! Quite fancy it in my own room ;) xx
It’s all just so pretty Caro!! I’d love this room for myself, never mind my girls! :) Beautiful, and a beautiful little name your friend has chosen too! Xx
Aaah thanks SO much Emma! I’d love it too!! ;) It’s so exciting for her to have a little girl to buy for — everyone was absolutely convinced that she was having another boy!! Thanks so much for stopping by pet X
Ooooooo how lovely! So pretty and grown up but cute enough to get away with being perfect for a little lady! You’re a little bit inspirational Caro! xx
Awww that’s a really lovely thing to say Clare — thanks so much! :) It was really nice choosing bits and pieces for a girl’s room! My friend Louise loves it all, although he poor husband is probably cursing me now!! ;)
Caro you taste is amazing I love it, so so stylish. I love these colours xx
Aaah that’s lovely of you Sarah :) Thanks ever so much xx
Oh wow I love your picks. I have always loved the name Daisy and the nursery seems to suit the name. I would quite like that close shelf for O’s room too.
Thanks for hosting #HomeEtc

I’ve never thought of theming a room around a name, but in this instance, it really works!! Thanks so much for commenting x
Love the colours in this post! We’re going to be redoing the boys and our bedrooms soon and I can’t wait to get planning….I may have already starting getting little bits sneakily ;)

Ooh Stevie — I LOVE a spot of redecorating! ;) As soon as anyone even *whispers* the word ‘home makeover’, I’m there like a shot!! ;)
What a lovely colour combination! I absolutely love the 3 wallpapers! Makes me regret not doing anything more special for my little lady! X
There’s always time lovely!! :) Even big girls need a pretty room ;)
(I’m including myself in this remit, obvs!) xx
Oh my God, that rug! I would love that for me! You’ve chosen such beautiful things Caro.

Gorgeous isn’t it? Weirdly, I’d spotted it but it wasn’t sitting too well with the green, yellow and white colour-scheme. Then as soon as I found a couple of bits to tie in with it (the chair and the mobile) it all looked lovely. I’m coveting the rug myself!! :) x
Just love that rug! How gorgeous and what stunning colours. Love this post so much. Jess x #HomeEtc
Thanks lovely — it’s such a fresh colour-scheme isn’t it? Nice to have a little bit of colour in a child’s room, I think :)
