Nursery trends come and go. But there’s one colour palette parents consistently reach for: beautiful, versatile neutrals. They are calming, pair effortlessly with a wide range of styles and can transition seamlessly into other areas of your home.
At iL Tutto, we offer a carefully curated selection of premium neutral fabrics to suit your space and lifestyle. But which neutral is right for you? In this guide, we compare our three most loved neutral nursery chair options – Egg Shell, Latte and Bouclé – to help you choose the tone and texture that best suits your aesthetic.
If you’re dreaming of a classic nursery, Egg Shell is your go-to. This warm, light-toned neutral sits somewhere between ivory and beige, offering a clean, creamy base that doesn’t feel too stark or too yellow.
It’s a favourite for those creating calm, softly layered interiors. Egg Shell pairs beautifully with timber furniture, woven accessories and earthy hues like terracotta or sage. It also works well with gender-neutral palettes, soft pinks and dusty blues, making it a flexible neutral nursery decor choice that can grow with your child.
Our Egg Shell fabric features a smooth weave and a soft matte finish that resists everyday wear while still feeling inviting and plush. If you want a fabric that balances modern design with traditional comfort, Egg Shell is a classic for good reason. Pairs well with Scandinavian or boho-inspired nurseries, Natural textures like wood, cane and linen as well as Warm-tone neutrals, rusts, ochres and soft greens
Introducing Latte – our latest neutral and already a fast favourite. Richer and slightly deeper than Egg Shell, Latte brings a grounded, contemporary warmth to your space. Think of it as the perfect balance between biscuit and beige, offering just enough depth to stand out while still being subtle and versatile.
Latte adds a refined touch to your nursery and works especially well in homes with warmer colour schemes, soft lighting or timber flooring. It also lends itself beautifully to layering – pair it with bold cushions, textured throws or accent walls in soft clay or olive tones.
This shade is all about quiet sophistication. It’s a great option for those who want a little more presence from their neutral without going full taupe or grey. Pairs well with Warm wood tones, rattan and brushed brass, Autumnal palettes, dusky reds, olive, mustard and Sculptural or minimalist decor.
For those who love a touch of luxe, a Bouclé nursery chair brings the texture. This fabric has become a designer favourite in recent years. With its soft, looped weave, Bouclé adds visual interest and tactile appeal.
Our Bouclé fabric is a warm ivory tone, designed to blend beautifully with a range of nursery aesthetics. It’s the perfect choice if you love neutral styling but want a bit of added character without introducing colour.
The texture of Bouclé also plays well with other finishes, like matte metals, layered rugs and natural wood furniture. Pairs well with Monochrome or tonal colour schemes, Textured layering – think jute, wool, boucle rugs, White-washed furniture and oversized decor pieces.
All three fabric options – Egg Shell, Latte and Bouclé – are premium quality, Oeko-Tex certified, and designed to withstand everyday life with a newborn and beyond. So your choice really comes down to personal style and how you want the room to feel.
Here are some questions to help you make the right decision:
