A modern gender-neutral retreat includes favorite art and handmade notions. Flor carpet tiles in varying colors and piles, pick up on pops of color in the room’s accents.

A Cardboard Safari moose, original Matte Stephens painting, and a framed “It’s OK” form a lovely trio for the gender-neutral nursery.
