There’s a good reason why kid’s rooms and color go hand in hand. Color can play an important role in your baby’s development, stimulating the brain and creating important nerve cell connections. Your nursery palette can also have a profound psychological effect on your little one. Bright colors, like yellow and orange, elicit feelings of happiness and wellbeing. They can even enhance communication skills and encourage more productive play by inspiring your child’s natural curiosity. In other words, color is more than beautiful; it’s beneficial too! Want to bring a little color into your little one’s life? Whether you’re considering a bold accent hue or dreaming in all-out, Oz-inspired Technicolor, these colorful nurseries may offer just the inspiration you need. As with white and other light neutrals, black, or near black, provides a clean contrast, making colors look richer and brighter. Use a matte finish to add a contrasting textural dimension, or opt for chalkboard paint, and let your kiddos create there own colorful work of art. This “sun shower” inspired baby room, featured on Chic and Cheap Nursery, makes a bold statement with its dark charcoal walls and rainbow bright accessories. Once you’ve found a print you love, pull two or three shades from the piece to use as your primary accent colors throughout the room. You can still boast a rainbow of color, but your design will feel more balanced and cohesive. Ready to get your paint on?
