Stimulating growth

To create a gentle, nurturing, nature-inspired sanctuary that stimulates learning and development, go with green. Northern Pear Tree is a refreshing color that symbolizes growth and harmony. While the softer, leafy tones of colors like Spring Season reflect the vibrant qualities of fertility and flourish. Considered soothing, balancing, comforting and stress-relieving, green’s calming effects make it popular for school and hospital interiors. So a green nursery can be the prime place for settling a fussy baby.

For your infant’s mind to mature optimally, your child needs adequate sleep. So entertain the thought of a dark blue nursery since good, restful slumber is almost guaranteed in rooms painted this color. For more peaceful nights and better dreams, try a dark blue like Beckoning Sea to lull your little one off to the land of Nod.

You’ll do anything you can to ensure that your little bundle of joy is healthy. A protective turquoise, like Summer Dragonfly, can help. Some believe the color can boost immunity and shield us mentally and emotionally. So paint your nursery turquoise and keep your baby well – a healthy baby equals a happy baby equals extremely pleased parents.

So greens and blues encourage growth, but what if you’re having a girl? A pale green, like Hidden Sea Glass, paired with decorative accents of rose can be quite feminine and uplifting. Not your stereotypical baby girl’s room, but deep blue with touches of sugary pink can have a tender, yet modern, effect. This combination works wonderfully for inventing a nursery that’s both serene and stimulating since infants see dark and light contrast best. Plus, down the road if you have a boy, all you need to do is switch out the accent color and accessories.

You want your baby to grow up big and strong and the nursery color you choose can actually support your goals.
