When thinking of baby nursery ideas one of the first issues that you will encounter is deciding what color the room will be. When choosing a color try to refrain from basing your decision solely on what is aesthetically pleasing. You should also take into account the psychological effect of the color, because it can help or harm the development of your child. Your goal when deciding the color of your baby nursery is to choose a color that will contribute to a comfortable and calm environment. You should target soft and soothing colors as opposed to loud and aggressive colors.

Colors You Should Consider

White
White is associated with innocence, pureness, security, and peace which makes it a great choice of color. It also gives the effect that a room is larger and brighter because it absorbs the majority of the light. If white is to bland for your taste contrasting white with another brighter color will make for a more vibrant room. However if you do choose white as the primary color your baby nursery be prepared to invest some extra time cleaning.

Light Blue
Lighter shades of blue represent peace, unity, calmness, harmony, and tranquility. Light blue is my personal favorite because it induces a state of calmness and relaxation, creating a very comfortable environment. I would not recommend using darker shades of blue because they make for a cold atmosphere and symbolizes sadness and depression.

Yellow
Another great choice for a baby nursery is the color yellow. Yellow is a stimulating color and represent joy, happiness, optimism, and hope. Yellow also has the same effect as white as it makes gives a room the effect of having more space.

Other Colors to Consider: Light Purple, Green, Beige, and Brown

Colors to Stay Away From

Black
Avoid black when choosing a color for your baby nursery. It represents sorrow, sadness, and death. Black also absorbs all light and does not entice any good emotions. Not the type of environment you want your developing baby to be in.

Red
Red is a very aggressive colors and although it looks good on a sports car, it is not a good choice for your baby nursery. Red is associated with passion, energy, and excitement which is not a good mix when trying to create a peaceful environment. Their has also been studies that have linked an increase in blood pressure and respiration to the color red. Although, as the main color of your baby nursery, red is a bad choice. When used in contrast with more neutral colors such as white, it can give a room a bit more excitement.

Darker shades of purple represent power, wealth, luxury and nobility but are also associated with mourning and darkness. Dark purple can also entice feelings of sadness and frustration. If you want to use the color purple for your baby’s room, choose a light shade of purple, which has been known to bring out peaceful and calming emotions.

More Colors to Avoid: Most dark shades

Finding inspiration for a captivating baby nursery may be more difficult than completing the actual project. In fact, people have told me that a lack of clear direction has pushed them to take the quick and easy route of bringing home a complete set of commercial decorations and bedding that they found less than appealing rather than take a risk, no matter how spectacular the results might have been. Perhaps if they had taken the time to find a particular style or design to inspire and guide them through the process they might have gained the confidence to move forward and achieve a style of decor that was more satisfying.

To find inspiration, you need only to pay close attention to what is pleasing to you in any given day. There’s no need to look so deeply within your self that hours of quiet solitude or meditation are necessary. Make a commitment to make a note when something makes you happy on a visual level.

This is the first step in our search for decorating inspiration. It’s best to practice this exercise while going about your normal day to day activities before moving on to the baby boutique and nursery supply store. The idea is that the colors or styles that please you in your adult life can be adapted for use in a nursery for baby.

Take some time to remember what drew you to a particular piece of artwork or why you insisted on painting your breakfast room sunny yellow. The chances are great that you will see a common thread in what inspired you when designing the living spaces of your home. You will then be able to apply the same principals towards the creation of a captivating baby nursery.

This makes for a seamless integration of colors and styles found in your children’s rooms into the decor of the rest of your home. Once you find your muse, you can employ a color wheel to get a basic layout and move on to step two if you feel the need for further guidance.

We will now face the challenge of finding an inspirational theme. This step is optional as many parents’ idea of a captivating baby nursery relies on color more than any given theme. However, there are just as many that prefer the decorative foundation that a theme based on a hobby, motif or activity gives them.

That’s it! You now have the tools necessary to design a pleasing baby nursery. There are just two easy steps that require little if any hard work before you get to the fun stuff. You may think this is too good to be true but my advice is to give it a try before returning to the path that destroyed your confidence and kept you bogged down in indecision.

Every case and decorating project is unique so there may be a need to repeat the steps if you fail to get definitive results on the first try. The good news is that rarely is there a mother who consulted with me who had to dig deeper than these two easy steps before finding her own personal inspiration for a captivating baby nursery.
