When it comes to twin nurseries, less is definitely more. Having twins should mean double the fun, not double the stuff. While it’s hard to get around having two cribs, you’ll be surprised how much your little duo can share. That said, with space at a premium, keeping your design fairly simple and clean-cut is a must. Focus on function. With two babies to look after, it’s extra important to be able to lay your hands on what you need, when you need it. Easy-to-access storage, extra seating, and multi-functional furnishings make a world of difference to your daily life. Designing a nursery for mix-gender twins doesn’t have to be limiting. There are plenty of wonderful gender-neutral themes and color schemes to choose from! Need a little inspiration? These beautiful twin nurseries will take you from overwhelmed to overjoyed in moments! Straight lines, sparse accessories, and an emphasis on balance and symmetry give the space its clean, contemporary appeal while a dynamic duo of bold prints and gold accents provide plenty of pop. In this sweet and neutral twin nursery from Finnian’s Moon Interiors, the texture is king. From the embossed carpet to the hand-crocheted pendant covers, the design offers an understated yet visual-stimulating alternative to the traditional colorful nursery palette. A coat of sunny orange makes a dramatic difference in this otherwise neutral space by DISC Interiors, making the space feel extra warm and cozy. Vibrant hues pop off the clean grey walls in this South African-inspired twin room spotted on Style Me Pretty. The primary palette keeps things gender neutral while infusing the space with energy and warmth. The crown jewel? The rose-gold cribs by Incy Interiors, which make a big statement, despite their small footprint. This woodland-inspired twin nursery from Stephanie Nash is rocking the new unconventional—a cleaner, more casual take on a traditional style that emphasizes natural lighting, woven textiles, plants, and other earthy goodness. Unlike a bassinet, a mini crib is built to last, taking your little ones from infancy to toddlerhood. Some models, like the Stokke Mini, featured in this tiny urban twin nursery by The Little Design Corner, even convert into streamlined toddler beds, making them a perfect long-term solution for your tiny twin space. The bold, striped accent wall in this neutral twin nursery, featured by Noelle Gray Creative, instantly draws the eye away from the space between the cribs, opening up the room by giving the illusion of spaciousness. A pair of low-profile cribs, like these Walmart beauties spotted on Calmly Chaotic, actually fit together well and making use of corners is a great way to save space. Just make sure to choose a frame with a small footprint and equal sides. “Doubling up,” as demonstrated in this pretty, dusty-gold girl’s room by Bean in Love, is a great space saver for twin nurseries, especially when wall space is limited. Prefer a high-backed crib? Try placing your cribs back-to-back to create the illusion of one freestanding piece of furniture.
