If you’re expecting a new baby, you’ll want to make sure your nursery is ready before your due date. In addition to picking out furniture, bedding, and accessories, you’ll also need to select a color scheme for the walls and trim. Below, home improvement professionals offer a handful of helpful tips on how to choose the right hues and shades for your baby’s room. 

4 Tips on Selecting Paint Colors for Your Nursery

1. Use a Theme

If you have a theme in mind for your baby’s room, think about the colors associated with it. For instance, nautical nurseries may use a combination of red, white, and blue colors in stripe or zig-zag patterns, while safari themes typically employ a palette of greens, beiges, and animal prints. 

2. Consider the Effects of Color

Your nursery should feel soothing for your new baby, and color may potentially have a significant impact on comfort. Green hues, for instance, typically invoke feelings of calm and nurturing, while orange shades promote a warm and cozy ambiance. 

3. Go Shopping First

Sometimes, it helps to allow your nursery’s decor and accessories to influence your paint color selection. For instance, if you find a gorgeous rug or crib bedding set, use it as inspiration for the entire space by choosing accent colors from it for your nursery walls and trim. 

4. Keep It Versatile 

Babies grow up so much faster than you would ever expect, which means they’ll also grow out of their bedroom decor. Prevent the need to repaint when you redecorate by selecting a versatile color that’s easy on the eyes and simple to match with other furniture and accessories.
