Design a Baby Nursery with Soothing Colors

By Michelle Torres


The baby nursery is your baby's "security blanket" when you are not nearby to comfort them throughout the night or nap time. How can you create an environment that is filled with soothing colors to ensure a sense of safety, well-being, and serenity? Read on to learn about some soothing baby nursery colors.

Lavender is a color that instantly promotes calmness and serenity. Perfect for your darling little girl, this color is sometimes described as regal and even spiritual. You can incorporate this light and airy tone into your walls. Select printed wallpaper that has accents of this pastel shade. You can even include this color by purchasing plush throw rugs or playful and girly accents like vases of faux lavender roses and lavender framed photographs.

Lighter than light, melon is a pure and fresh tone that is sure to make any nursery appear larger, look brighter, and simply make you and your little one smile. It's closely related to pink, which is said to ignite a feeling of love. Incorporating melon into your nursery is easy. Melon is a great accent color. Shop for baby bedding sets that feature pops of the light hue in prints, and be sure to add accent pillows, curtains, and even picture frames around the room that feature this accent tone.

It can be a sunny day in your nursery despite less than sunny weather outside your home! Pale yellow brings energy into a nursery and is subtle so it will not overstimulate your baby's senses. It is a wonderful tone to bring into your baby nursery by purchasing baby bedding that features this relaxing color in a solid baby bumper, blanket, or fitted sheet. It is also easy to pair with other crib accents like a stuffed animal, crib mobile, or a decoration featured above the crib.

Green is also a very natural and mood enhancing tone that will settle a crying baby and create a feeling of safety and security while lying in the crib or enjoying tummy time on the floor. Select a green striped wall paper, paint the walls or ceiling solid green, and even consider selecting a light green carpet to cover the room completely.

You can decorate a baby nursery with one main purpose in mind-to sooth, calm, and stimulate your little one in their new environment!
