As first-time parents, you have a lot of plans and decisions to make. Among the most fun and memorable is choosing a color for your baby’s nursery. While this may seem like a relatively simple task, take it seriously for your little one’s comfort. Here’s what you should keep in mind before you contact a painting contractor.

Which Color Is Right for the Baby’s Nursery?

1. Figure Out What It Needs

The first step is to consider the room’s unique needs. If the window is small, for example, then it will lack natural light to brighten up the space. Your painter can make up for that by applying an airy shade, like sunny yellow or sky blue, to the walls. If the room itself is small, then a lighter shade will also help it look larger.

2. Think About the Future

It’s difficult to think about what the future holds when you have an infant in your arms or are counting down the days to delivery. As you consult with your painting contractor, though, consider how your little one’s personality will change over the years. A soft pink may seem appropriate for your daughter right now, but she may prefer something else when she’s a toddler and then starts going to school. Mint green, soft lilac, and earthy beige are all nursery-appropriate hues that are soothing, won’t distract or overstimulate, and will age well as your child grows up.

3. Focus on a Specific Theme

If it’s challenging to select a color, think about the room’s overarching theme instead. Many nurseries follow a specific style — some parents may opt for nautical or vintage decor or design a zoo or nature theme. Take your cue from these topics and select a color with your painting contractor that flatters the space. Navy blue with white trim, or even white walls with a single navy accent wall, looks outstanding in a nautical-themed room. Pale grays and creams allow the fun animal accents and decor to pop in a zoo-themed nursery.
