GREEN BABY ROOMS
|
It’s my opinion that green baby rooms are one of the more under utilized methods of creating a restful and calm nursery. In every other bedroom of the home, it’s very popular to use all the decorating ideas and tricks in the book to "bring nature indoors".Paint colors in dramatic shades of dark blue green might be better suited to more sophisticated bedrooms, but spring green is so cheerful that you would think it a natural choice for newborn nurseries.
I can see no reason that green baby rooms are not at the top of the list for baby room designs. One of the decorating rules of the home states that shades of pale yellow-green should be avoided in kitchens and dining rooms due to the fact that it is not flattering to food.
Could the lack of green in nurseries and baby bedding collections be that yellow-green brings unpleasant diaper changing incidents to mind? If that’s the case, I’m going to give you some ideas on how to paint and decorate your nursery walls and decor in green that are charming and pretty no matter what style of decorating you prefer.
GREEN FABRICS
From pink and green plaid baby bed sets to toile baby bedding with green backgrounds, or crib comforters covered in flowers, there are crib sets that will lay the groundwork for fabulous green baby rooms and nursery color schemes. If you are decorating a baby boy’s nursery what could be more masculine than a hunter green fabric with a burgundy and brown print. For texture, green corduroy accents would be a lovely touch.
LAYERING SHADES OF GREEN
Even if your green crib bedding sets has one solid, identifiable shade of green, don’t use that color alone elsewhere in the room. Vary your color values to avoid a monotonous nursery color scheme. Layer your green colors by bringing in various green baby products. When purchasing your nursery’s basic necessities, shop for baby gear in shades of green ranging from sage, deep bottle green to bright and funky lime green. Accent your dark shades and make your green baby room livelier with punches of chartreuse or pea green.

GREEN ACCENTS and COLOR SCHEMES
It’s possible to soften any shade of green with the addition of shades of white or pastels. To make your green more dominant and dramatic pair it with jewel tones such as crimson red, hydrangea pink or azalea purple. Green baby rooms with decorative accessories in rich colors and textured fabrics go well with Moroccan nursery themes and other rich and luxurious styles of nursery décor. Grass green and pretty pink will take your baby’s nursery design in a more modern, contemporary direction.
