Once you have a basic color palette in mind, start shopping for baby bedding. To choose a nursery paint color, you might take a pillow or only the crib quilt with your to the paint store to get a good color match.

With the wall paint color and nursery bedding set in hand, you now have a plan for colors to use in decorating the rest of the baby's nursery. It will now be easy to designate what colors to use in accent pieces that can be displayed throughout the baby's room.



Is the background of the fabric a neutral shade with an overlay or printed pattern of characters, flowers or other colorful prints? One piece of decorating advice that I hear professional decorators repeat time and time again is to repeat the color schemes from an inspiration piece of fabric which in this case would be your baby crib comforter or baby duvet cover.

There are lots of excellent decorating tips and suggestions for the very best nursery color schemes for a baby's first room and many good articles and recommendations for books that you can read on the subject. Choosing the best color schemes for your baby fabrics, baby nursery color schemes and patterns and combining them successfully with the other elements of the room and crib decorations for a baby boy's nursery or baby girl's room can be a process of trial and error, but it can also be fun! Let me know if there are bold and unusual combinations that work for you and please remember to share your pictures!
