I do my best to provide rare, unique themed suggestions as well as traditional or classic themes that will give you plenty of room to personalize your boy's room. My thinking is that selecting a style of décor first helps simplify the nursery decorating process. A theme can serve as a guide toward the ultimate goal of designing the very best bedroom for your infant.
Contemporary and modern baby decorating trends tell us that pretty much anything goes, and there’s little need to stick closely to classic nursery designs for boys that have been used for decades. Bold colors and playful patterns are very much in style. If you love the idea of a traditional baby blue nursery filled with sweet baby motifs, by all means include them. You may find that even the classics have evolved into more modern colors, shapes, and designs.
Bold reds and dusty sage greens are just as masculine as shades of blue — if not more so. Experiment with interesting color combinations for your baby boy’s décor. You may discover a trendy new color scheme that feels unexpected for most baby boy nursery themes, but there’s no harm in trying something new.
If you want to explore how bold, earthy, and unexpected hues work together in real nurseries, my baby nursery color schemes and combinations guide shows proven palettes that help baby boy rooms feel balanced, cohesive, and timeless.
One of the most frequently asked questions I receive from parents expecting a boy is, “What about pink?” Is it acceptable to include pink in the color scheme of a baby boy’s room? My answer is that there are no hard rules. While tradition associates pale pastel pink with baby girls, bolder shades of rose or coral can work beautifully in a boy’s nursery.
Salmon pinks can feel entirely appropriate for boys when paired with earth tones. Many pastel colors become more masculine when balanced with chocolate browns or earthy greens. Pink and brown, blue and chocolate brown, and similar combinations offer stylish opportunities for creative nursery design.
Both approaches give you the freedom to experiment with a unique color scheme in your baby boy’s bedroom.
You might also enjoy exploring my collection of gender neutral nursery themes, which can grow beautifully with your baby.
There is no single “best” paint color for a nursery. The key is choosing colors that work well with your bedding fabric. If you’ve selected bright abstract or polka-dot bedding, take it with you to the paint store and match from there.
