Im decorating my children's Nursery and i need a good color for the walls. any ideas?

Question

My son is nine months old and his sister will be here in early november. their cribs and furniture are all a really pretty satin black. the rest of the room is made up of lots of shades of green. i want to paint the room but i'm worried if i paint it a light green that might be too much green. i also want to keep it neutral. i need help bad. anyone?

Answer 1

A pale yellow will go very nicely with the greens and blacks. You could go with a yellow-green if you really want green walls.  Children benefit from primary colors as well, so if you are brave enough, bright, rubber ducky yellow would be a good choice.  Yellow is very gender neutral and good for developing eyes.

Answer 2

maybe you could do a light beige with a tint of green- or maybe just plain white if you have enought colour in the room. yOU could also paint it a nice ,mauve -green ( like the green above your Question the border thing)

Answer 6

i have a light green carpet in my nursery, so i painted the walls a light blue... then i got small wood picket fences from menards, painted them white, stenciled flowers and grass, butterflies, caterpillars, ladybugs, etc, on the walls, then put the fences over the top... looks like a storybook picture... VERY cute!

since you have black tho, i'm wondering if you want a sleeker look? if so, i'd go with a soft cream color... it'll compliment the greens and contrast (and highlight!) the black furniture... (or, if you like the fence thingee... how bout fake wrought iron fence? would highlight furniture but bring a more fanciful feel to baby's room?)

and congrats btw.......
