A Few Tips for Painting a Nursery

It is an exciting time! Your baby is due soon and you’ll be meeting your new special little person. There are plenty of guessing games about what your child will look like, how their personality will be, and what they will be when they grow up.

But this time is not just for daydreaming. There is a long list of things to be finished and to get your house organized before the little one arrives. One of the biggest tasks is preparing your baby’s nursery.

This can seem a little overwhelming for new parents. Everyone wants their child’s first room to be the perfect, calming place for the baby to sleep. But completing this project can be hard with everything else you have going on at this time.

To help you get started, we have a few tips to help paint your baby’s nursery & have it turn out perfectly.

Your baby’s room will be the place they fall asleep in and wake up in so it’s obvious you will want this to be a beautiful space. This is also a place where mothers will spend time nursing and changing their babies. So it is important to choose a paint job that both mother and child can enjoy and create a space that is pleasant to be around.

When planning out your baby’s nursery the first thing is to choose your colors. No matter which style or theme you pick for your baby’s room, it is a good idea to start with choosing a color palette. A color palette is a range of colors that match well together, & when combined, they help express the theme you are creating.

There are so many different styles & themes you can use to decorate. Some people choose to paint the room with a traditionally colored theme according to their gender. Shades of blues & greens for boys and pink shades for girls. Others create a paint scheme that is gender-neutral by using setting themes like a beach feel with blues and sandy yellows, or a jungle theme with greens and splashes of bright color.

CertaPro knows it can become very overwhelming when you realize that you are not only having to paint the walls but also worry about matching artwork, bedding, furniture, etc. Not to mention, all the safety features you must ensure your home has when the baby arrives.

However, when you begin with choosing a color scheme, you can easily decide what furniture and fixtures to add by referring back to your color palette, to see if your selections harmonize with your color choices.

CertaPro has color consultants that can help you choose a color palette for whatever nursery theme you choose. They can also help you choose matching colors for furniture, bedding, and even the artwork on the walls. We love being a part of something so special in our customers’ lives.

CertaPro can help with that too! Here are a few nursery theme ideas to get you started:

If you’re expecting a sweet little girl and you want to make her room filled with feminine hues, there are many themes and color schemes to choose from. Traditionally girl’s rooms are often filled with more softer and delicate colors like baby pinks, soft violets, purples, and pearly whites.

Here are some ideas both traditional and a little more modern for your baby girl’s new sanctuary.

Filled with pinks & purples for your new little member of the royal family. Choosing softer colors in the princess room gives it a nice soothing feel and mixing in whites through the furniture and even on the skirting boards and ceiling will help break up the pinks so they don’t get too overwhelming.

A room painted with yellows, pinks, and shades of green with matching artwork will make the perfect setting for a beautiful little pretend tea party with your new little gardener. This theme is a great idea if you want feminine colors, but would also like a splash of color in the new room.

For your new wild child. Natural landscape designs from jungles to mountains are very trendy styles now. They are simply adorable. Some may argue that this theme seems more for boys, but if you add softer colors, like sunny yellows & lighter greens, it can make the perfect setting for your new little wild one.

If you’ve got a beautiful bouncing baby boy on the way, we have some ideas that would be perfect for his room too.

Shades of blue with an accent of golds or silvers to imitate stars and planets would make a great room for any new space adventurer. Or you could create a space room with deep grays, bright reds, primary blues, and some alien green thrown in for good measure.

This is a little tougher version of the girl’s wild child nursery. Add a tipi with bold stripes, a bunting featuring vintage drawings of westerns, and bold patterns can be a fun addition to this rooting tooting cowboy style of room. You could choose to have a bold color accent wall too.

This is an old favorite, but still a great choice. Using traditional soft baby blues on the walls either painted in a block or mixed with large blue and white stripes. Decorate with pictures of anchors, sailboats, and flags. If you are wanting a few more splashes of color try some navy blue and red trimmings to give the room a little more depth.

No matter if you are having a boy or girl, CertaPro Painters will be right there to guide you through your nursery painting project. Make sure you take time to enjoy this special season of life and stay excited in the process of making your little cherub’s room a magical place for all of you to enjoy!
