Congratulations! There\u2019s about to be a new baby in your life, and whether you are a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, or just a close friend \u2013 this is very exciting. There are so many things to do to prepare for this little bundle of joy to enter your life. You will need to buy clothing and bottles, start thinking about ways to make your home safer, and most importantly, you will need to create a special space<\/a> for that child to live, grow, and learn.<\/p>\n

Your nursery should reflect the love you have for this new child and how you want them to experience the world. How do you start this process? By picking the best possible paint color for the nursery.<\/p>\n

Selecting the Best Paint Colors for Your Nursery<\/h2>\n

According to child development experts, children don\u2019t see color until about three months. Therefore, you may notice that infants are attracted to black and white toys, blankets, or pictures. After three months, children start to see color and are very attracted to primary colors like red, green, yellow, and blue.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry. This does not mean you need to choose a bold nursery paint color like fire engine red. This is information you can use to make decisions like accent colors, toys, crib sheets, and wall art. For example, if you are dreaming of a pastel blue nursery you can add accents of royal blue, turquoise, or cerulean to capture your baby\u2019s attention. There are no wrong choices. All that matters is that you provide a safe, loving environment for your child to learn and grow.<\/p>\n

If you feel overwhelmed by the various nursery paint color ideas, or maybe you just want an expert\u2019s opinion, we have compiled some of the best color choices for you to review. Whether you are a traditional household, or you want something a little more modern, there\u2019s something for everyone.<\/p>\n

Do you know if you will be bringing home a little boy or a little girl? If so, you can choose a traditional, or gendered, color. It may feel a bit old-fashioned to paint a room pink for a girl and blue for a boy, but many people feel that creating a space that speaks to the specific child they are bringing home helps them mentally and emotionally prepare for the journey they are about to embark on.<\/p>\n

If you like the idea of traditional nursery paint colors but don\u2019t want an entire room of pink or blue, you can always just use them as accent colors. Try an accent wall of pink or blue. You could also install a chair rail and paint pink\/blue and white vertical stripes beneath. You have a lot of options, don\u2019t be afraid to get creative \u2013 because when it comes to paint colors you have the freedom to be anything but traditional.<\/p>\n
