After reading Nate Berkus's resources for color inspiration, CasaSugar Community member cubamarsh wrote, "I have five-year-old boy/girl twins. They have to sleep in the same bedroom for the time being. Any suggestions how to decorate/PAINT especially for both?" I made some of my own suggestions with 10 ideas for gender neutral children's rooms, but I thought I'll poll all of you for your thoughts as well on Facebook. We got a great response with so many hues I'd never thought of, so I'm really excited to share these color ideas with you!

- "A light metallic gray or white and orange." — Colette O.
- "Definitely turquoise and white, but I guess it depends on the age." Katrín S.
- "I have always thought navy blue and a lavender - on the boys side emphasize the navy and the girl the lavender." — Heidi W.
- "Blue walls! Both my kids' rooms (5-year-old son, nursery for 19-mo-old daughter) are a pale blue color. They aren't exactly the same shade but they both work. As for décor, kelly green would be a good accent color that is good for both sexes. You could do more gender-specific coverlets on each bed made from cool fabrics, and then get one more coordinating gender-neutral one and tie it all together." — Eliza M.
- "Sage green is a good gender-neutral color." — Julie K.
- "Keep the walls neutral. Curtains, sheets, pillows and decorations with indigo and orange." — Evelyn S.
- "Aqua blue!" — Marissa J.
- "Navy and yellow, or nautical." — Kelly S
