Baby Room Colors

In the past, using baby room colors was pretty much straightforward depending on the gender of the baby. Baby blues dominated in boys rooms and pink was the color for baby girls.

Although many feel confident in using traditional masculine colors in baby boys rooms and traditional feminine colors in baby girls rooms, there are more and more parents experimenting with different color schemes in the baby room.

Instead of providing certain types of color schemes from the gender perspective, some are thinking more in terms of providing an esthetically pleasing environment that is also functional. One approach with this philosophy in the background is Feng Shui.

Feng Feng Shui has been used for thousands of years in the Far East as a method for determining the most appropriate locations, colors, items, symbols, etc. that in combination help living a harmonious, balanced life. The art works as well in the baby room as it does in other rooms.

I've found HomeStore to be a good source for interior design, Feng Shui articles. There is one particular article to be found about baby nurseries that might interest you. The articles are located at homestore.com/homegarden/decorate/fengshui/.

Anyhow, it is good to look at pictures of existing baby rooms at such imagebanks as images.google.com for color ideas to the baby room.

Baby Room Colors - Themes

Themes are one nice guideline to coordinete colors in the baby room. If you have one leading theme, you can use the themes' color palette for the leading colors in the room. Then, choose colors that well complement and support the primary colors.

One interesting choice in terms of colors is to order a mural for the baby room. Murals are a popular way to increase the liveliness of the room and make it a pleasing living environment for the baby.

However, choosing the right type of mural is very important as you probably want the mural to increase relaxed feeling in the room rather than to increase tension.
