Expecting a baby is one of the most exciting times in your life, and it’s natural to want to get everything as perfectly prepared as possible. A lot of time and effort usually goes into planning the look of your baby’s environment, especially the nursery. A crucial aspect of preparing the nursery is painting the walls, to provide a space that is positive and pleasant for your new arrival to grow in. With countless paints and hues available from several different suppliers, it can be a challenge to choose the right colour. Let’s look at what to consider.
The power of colour
Colour has a significant impact on the way we think and feel, and the same is true of babies. Different tones can contribute to distinct feelings such as excitement, anger, comfort, calm and more. Therefore, it is essential to consult the wisdom of colour psychology to select the best hue, one that complements the overall atmosphere of your home and also helps to put your baby at ease. For example, light shades of green promote calm and serenity due to their relationship with nature. Similarly, shades of light pink
can evoke feelings of love and joy. It’s more common these days to avoid choosing gender specific colours as many new mums feel blue for boys and pink for girls is an old-fashioned way of styling your nursery.
