1. Tiffany Blue & Pink
Hoping to design a nursery that’s fit for a princess? Simultaneously chic and classy, a pretty combination of Tiffany blue and pink is the ultimate nursery color scheme for a little girl. The use of white as an accent color helps keep either shade from becoming too overpowering, while the chandelier adds an extra touch of glamour. Don’t you just love it?
2. Navy Blue & White
When you’re expecting a boy and want to create a nursery that looks anything but cliché, forgo the typical baby blue for a much more modern combination of navy and white, as seen here in this nautical-themed room. I especially like the cool preppy stripes and white name-lettering on the wall.
Frequently asked questions
3. Green & Brown
While variations of blue and pink will always be popular, the green and brown color scheme seen here, along with accents of yellow and white, is a great alternative for either a son or daughter. Along with loving the color scheme, I’m also a huge fan of the word cloud on the wall. Would you consider including a creative detail like this?
4. Pink & Black
Pink and black is yet another hot color combination for a girl’s nursery, and I think the rosy shade seen here is absolutely perfect, along with the softer touches of grey. The “Always Kiss Me Goodnight” quote is also an incredibly sweet addition, as is the adorable mobile.
5. Grey & White
Grey shades pair well with a multitude of colors, making them a great choice for a baby’s nursery. Grey mixed with white and yellow seems to be popular right now, especially since this scheme works just as well for a girl as it does for a boy. I don’t know about you, but I think the elephant and tree-themed wall art are just too cute.
