Make a nursery fun and bright by choosing a color palette that is full of lively colors. You can use a consistent hue like orange and change the intensity of the color. Or mix it up! Use a number of hues with the same intensity for a more eclectic look.

Whites, Neutrals, and Natural Tones

If you’re looking for a low key environment in which to bring up baby, this may be the direction to head. These palettes can be very flexible. With white, more white accents give the room a whimsical feel. Neutrals lend themselves to sophistication and natural tones can create an earthy or rustic tone.

Primary

Primary colors, much like the brights, liven the room. Making the room a fun place to be with a bright palette may make it easier to transfer the room into a kid’s bedroom or playroom later on. If you are not too keen on having primaries on your wall, make the walls white and choose colorful furniture and accessories.
