I'm totally stuck

Our nursery has the unique challenge of being designed for boy-girl fraternal twins. For somebody design-challenged like me, this is like a disaster.

So far, we have green walls (BM Liberty Park Green)- like a kelly green- and white furniture (trim & doors are all white). 

I was thinking of having the bedding be the same pattern but a different color for each of them, but I like a uniform look. So, I'm thinking maybe black & white or gender-neutral colored. I'm afraid that choosing something green or white won't provide enough contrast or interest. Help?

if you look at JCPenney's bedding selections, they have a lot of different selections that are made the same but come in different colors... or go with black and white bedding and add accents that are gender specific in their cribs... like a pink sheet for baby girl and a blue sheet for baby boy.

I think the same design but different colors would be a great way to go.  Then you could use a wall color that works with both.

 

I think you could do this paisley in pink and green and still not be too much.,  They have many of the same colors but are unique too.

Oh, I love design questions.  Here's what I'm thinking.  First I love that you chose Kelly Green...It's such a great bold color (my favorite).  I love the idea of doing white/black bedding.  Then I would throw in a punch of color with a cool yellow rug.  If you really wanted to distinguish between the boy and girl crib, I would just use different stuffed animals or something sitting in the inside (although they will probably come out when the babies are sleeping).  I'm not generally a fan of rooms that try so hard to scream "boy" or "girl".

Since the walls are a bold choice, I think having TWO different bedding choices, like pink and blue, or whatever would just be too much.  I say keep it simple and classy. 

I love the bedding in this link.  It's simple, but cute.  And I love the design of the rug, and I think a similar rug in a yellow would compliment your green nicely!

If yellow isn't your thing, I think kelly green, brown and pops of orange look great together.  A simple white/brown bedding would be great for either gender. I'm thinking something like the Dwell brown dots set.

And yet another suggestion, kelly green, white and navy look great together.  You could do a mostly white bedding with a navy/white striped bumper.

Good luck with whatever you decide!

I like the idea of black and white, or brown and white.  Keep it simple, but then add something specific to each crib.  What a blessing for you and your DH! Congrats!

this is gender neutral and would be adorable with green and white. i'm actually debating getting this bedding for a boy (different color scheme though). i think it works for both.

Im not sure about the green wall color with this, but this is a great way to get the same pattern/different color idea you were looking for. ?I think the matching stripes in each of this sets gives the uniform look you are looking for...
