Girl Nursery Paint Help - Gray Furniture
Hello! Baby girl is coming in just a few months and I need help with a paint color or colors for the room. The furniture is a lighter gray, and the accessories (bedding, pillow) will be white and light pink. I don't want pink walls, as I don't want to paint again in a few years :). The overall theme will be somewhat "outdoorsy" - her brother has mountains painted on his walls. The window frames are a light natural wood, which I'm not sure goes with the furniture, so maybe I need to paint it white? Thank you for the help!!

Boy/Girl mixed Nursery help!
Comments (14)have you checked out HGTV's Rate my space. I was looking on there last night and saw some very beautiful kids rooms/nursery's. One room (for boys, but it could be unisex!) RED bedding, with accents of blue, cream, brown, etc. The bedding was PB with ivory looking stars on it. Didn't scream boy to me. Very cute! Green walls. :o) Saw another boy nursery on there that had caramel apple colored walls. Crib was cream with glaze. Bedding was pale blue toile. So very cute. I've seen that exact toile fabric in pink as well. So you could paint the room the caramel brown, do her bed in the pink fabric, and his in the blue. Wow, would that be cute. Then do their accessory pillows, etc. in creams, ivorys, chocolate. It's much cuter IRL than it sounds. LOL! If you like shabby chic, you could always just do various shades of vanilla in the room. If your children won't be playing in their room (ie: markers and messes) than creams/ivory's/whites would be sooo pretty. :o) Can't wait to see what you do. Congrat's on expecting!!...See MoreHelp!

Comments (3)Valspar has a color called "Silver City." It is a nice gray with just a smidge of blue to it. It you have a nice texture and use semi-gloss, it's shimmery. Looks great in my little boy's room, which has zero texture. And I had extra, so I painted my bathroom with it too! (That;s where I found the shimmer!) Looks great with all colors, especially browns and primary colors. I can look at my chip books and see what I can come up with if you're still looking....See MoreNeed help with furniture placement in baby girl's nursery! PICS
Comments (5)Do you need that tall white armoire, since you already have the built-in drawers and the large closet? If yes, then I would put the tall dresser where the head of the bed is now. If there is room, I would put the crib on the wall you first suggested, between the window and the built-ins. I would get a changing pad for the top of the built-in and use that as the changing table. It will be very convenient in the middle of the night when you are sleepy to just move to the left and change her, rather than taking her into the bathroom. I would try the rocker and ottoman in the corner where the windows meet. A perfect place to sit with the baby. Congrats on the new addition!...See MoreGirl nursery paint help needed
Comments (3)My daughter wanted her room painted pink when she was 5, so I picked a color from the Pottery Barn catalog (BM Sweet Taffy). It's bright but we really like it. I think the catalog helps you see colors in the room well. You can also see the current colors they're using at http://www.potterybarnkids.com/stylehouse...See More

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoThis is my color selection. Use the color you will use LEAST in other decor items, to paint the wall. Any green, sky blue/ sea-foam, peach / light-coral, gray, grayish violet, and of course white. Try to keep ALL the woodwork white, including the crib and trims, and at least the trim on other pieces of furniture and frames.

I would do a light silver/ light cool gray, very neutral wall with white trim. Have fabric, curtains & accessories be the pops of color. You can add white furniture or bookcases like in photo to room also with a gray crib. HTH!

5 years agoHow about a soft white or cream? it would keep it light and bright while you use other colors. I think pink and mustard would be a fresh color scheme with white walls and would work with gray
Pink and green is also another fun, unexpected color combo with keeping with the nature theme.
I know you said you don't want pink but a very light pink (almost white) can read as a neutral.
