Interior Designer Jennifer Bishop chose this vibrant blue, green and brown color palette and a woodland theme for her clients' gender-neutral nursery. One great design element is this knot-framed bulletin board. It was originally a metallic mirror the designer scored at HomeGoods. She painted the frame and filled in the center with cork.

| Don't have Hufnagl's painting skills? Just get your hands on some tree decals, which are a huge nursery trend right now. What's so great about them? They provide a large, striking graphic that's great for kids. On the chance your child wants a new theme as he or she ages, you can simply peel them off without damaging the wall. These birch trees emphasize verticality. |
