    Animals? Underwater - can have mermaids on her side and sharks on his? Forest? Medieval - princesses, knights, dragons and castles?

    Choose a colour or fabric you like and then go from there.

    DS2 just moved from a cot to a bed as we are going to ttc I wanted to choose a colour scheme that would work well for both a boy or a girl.

    I chose blue, green and white with a yellow highlight - I found a patchwork patterned coverlet in those colours in Spotlight and started from there. They are gender neutral and I have a huge aversion to pink for girls and blue for boys.

    I love mixing different patterns together - We have animal prints, checks, stripes, solids, stars, circles all in these colours. I also love texture. He has a large sherpa blue blanket that we can both snuggle under together and read a story and a textured white quilt on his bed.

    ATM he has a removal wall sticker border of dinosaurs around the room (in these colours). I'm going to change these to letters and numbers which I can put haphazardly around the room.

    The furniture is also going to get an overhaul with a sand and repaint in white.

    I did underwater for my twins when they shared. Mermaids and fish all swimming together, they both loved it and it was so easy to do.
