BABY NURSERY DECORATING
IDEAS
for
LAVENDER and PURPLE

Nursery decorating for baby is loads of fun no matter what your favorite color combination might be. However, if you’re having a baby girl I’d like to share some ideas for decorating a baby nursery in lavender. So many people say that their favorite color is purple. Practically everybody looks good in purple clothes, but dark, royal purple baby bedding sets may be too bold for a small room or in a nursery with little natural light.
So how do you work touches of purple into your nursery decorating project without making the room seem too dark? The best decorating advice I could give in this situation would be to use lavender baby bedding and accessories with purple or violet as an accent color. Lavender is so versatile that it almost qualifies as a neutral color. If you are clever and selective about your color scheme, it can be used in a gender neutral or unisex nursery with no problems.

LAVENDER BABY BEDDING CAN BE USED for BOYS as well as GIRLS

Lavender baby bedding with purple butterflies, flowers or ladybugs are naturally going to be best for a baby girl’s nursery decorating and design. For the mom of a baby boy who wants lavender in the nursery color scheme, the addition of some baby blue baby motifs may be required. It’s possible to find lavender fabrics for your baby bedding sets that will bring baby blue hippos, a purple octopus, blue whales or colorful choo choo trains and trucks with a more masculine feel to your nursery decorating project. You can also accessorize your crib set with nursery items in purple and blue that will carry the boyish theme of the bedding around the room.

I recently saw an Asian theme for a boy with lavender fabrics with a print of purple dragons and black Asian symbols. You can accessorize your crib set with nursery items in purple and blue that will carry the theme of the bedding around the room.

COLOR COMBINATIONS

As in our previous nursery decorating tip, the blue and lavender color combination will work beautifully when decorating the nursery for a baby boy. I recently saw an Asian theme for a boy with lavender fabrics with a print of purple dragons and black Asian symbols. The decorator duplicated the Asian symbols on the walls and the results were fantastic!

A layout of lavender with hints of pink will be a sure favorite in a baby girl’s nursery. But for your nursery decorating project to be lively, at least one accent color is recommended. Shades of green would be perfect accents for the feminine as well as the masculine color combinations. Sunny yellow is another color that will add light as well as contrast to your nursery decorating themes and ideas.
