blue and brown nursery recomendations for carpet and paint colors

14 years ago

The nursery for our baby girl will have this bedding:

http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3540582&fromRegistryNumber=40255621&product_skn=30985

Furniture will be white, we need to paint and put down new carpet but are at a loss about where to begin selecting colors. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Thanks!

I would go with a warm off-white for the walls and bron light brown carpet.

Thanks for the input, ferret smuggler, I wonder if you can help me to know what color paint is a "warm off-white"?

Beach Glass is a great BM blue. It has a drop of green in it to liven it up and cancel out some of that "baby blue" effect. It has a good bit of gray in it too to add sophistication.

Hi Monica, Yes it has a "wavy" pattern to it. It was a Mohawk "Wunda Weave" carpet (I think that's how they spelled it) in their "Dream" pattern and the color was called "Overjoyed". I had saved the picture of someone's bedroom...for the sole purpose of being able to view it later when we needed to make a final decision on carpet. I had chose that very carpet in THAT color as one of my final selections and would love to see the room again now that it's time to order carpet.

Several thoughts based on the idea that not everyone loves blue carpets: First, don't do anything, depending on your real estate market. In many parts of the country it's a buyers market, which generally means that sellers should keep their prices low instead of fixing up the house. I defer to your local broker on this subject, of course. Second, what about painting the walls a very light blue that will go well with the dark blue carpet? A pale blue-gray can look very sophisticated. (Warning: even I don't like all-blue houses. You need to have some warm tones in there somewhere to balance out the blue.) If the carpet is navy, white or cream can look very good in a nautical way. Finally, lots of people, including me, like blue and yellow together.

One grey for another? but why.... door and trim are white. You could have white in art, etc.....I have been curious too, how to bring both together. Maybe the neutrals, in textures?

I think this room would be lovely if you matched the pale aqua-blue shade in the quilt. Just take the quilt to your paint store and they can match it. I think the whole room would be lovely and serene done this way...

I second the suggestion of a pale, aqua blue for the walls. This would have more character then white, and would look yummy!

Here's a pix of a Tiffany blue, not quite the same color, but it will give you an idea of how the color can bring it all to life. Accents with brown and soft white, accessories would be darling.
