Tired of the hum-drum, bubble gum pinks and sky blues
for the nursery?
Take a look at how creative you can get with color, and it doesn't have to be pink or blue anymore. Look into some different color options for the newest member of your family.
Picture this room with some wainscoting, add an innovative color scheme and suddenly your baby's nursery will take on a very sophisticated look yet still be very youthful for the newborn in your family. Look at these unique color options for the room.
Raindrop
Shagreen
Banana Cream
Resounding Rose
These Sherwin Williams colors would make great accent colors or "make a statement" colors if they stand alone. Depending on the size of your room, you can combine these colors with a neutral off white to divide the room into beautiful breaks of color or fill the room with any of these gorgeous hues that your baby would love for years to come.
I love all aspect of Colors, and would really appreciate specialists, doing just that, color. Not especially boosting the paint companies usage of the branding, but sticking strictly to the color, for any color can be made in paint branding. That always makes me suspicious of the colorist, specialist, consultant, designer, and etc, branding, instead of the tone, hue, base, etc. of the color. Other than that the colors are extraoridinary!!

Love the Banana Cream! They're all so fresh-- great ideas. Wish I knew someone decorating a nursery!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I feel Color Specialist's should stick to just that. My focus is solely color for Charlotte. 99% of my clients use Sherwin Williams so I have a tendency to blog about the colors I've chosen for them. I just had a color consult today for a nursery so that's the blog of the day! However, I use Sherwin Williams most of the time only because it's what my clients ask for and I feel it's a superior paint compared to others that are available in the area.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Malissa - I'm glad you like my colors :-)
The resounding rose is so pretty! Love your ideas! ♥
ReplyDeleteI love them! Especially "Resounding Rose"!
ReplyDelete30 years ago when my first daughter was born I was relieved to find some polished cotton in a variety of patterns using what Sherwin Williams currently calls shagreen. I coupled it with a coral and the whole scheme grew with her quite well. She grew up to prefer orange and its variations as her favorite color. Did those early nursery colors steer her that way?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they certainly influenced her in some ways. I also think vibrant nursery colors are more stimulating then pastels. Back when my kids were babies (16yrs ago) my son had a darker blue beneath the chair rail and clouds above right over onto the ceiling. My daughter had lavender with pink and cream accents - pretty!!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of less traditional colors for nurseries and I think it's really being embraced in my area (Bay Area)! As for brands, there are those paint brands who give those of us in the design community tools to work with such a large color sheets, Photoshop colors, support, etc. Companies that don't reach out to the design community are tough to work with as we simply have their fan decks but not much more to work with for our clients. That and the quality of the paint are what drive many of us colorists to use brands such as Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you have to think a bit outside the box when choosing color for a very traditional room. Meaning, pink and blue are the first two colors that one may consider when designing a nursery. Let's start thinking hues of purple, coral and turquoise! You can always bring in the pink and blues as accent colors, bedding or accessories. What a great fun room to decorate and Sherwin Williams makes it easy :-)
ReplyDeleteSo yummy, I love those colors! Hope you enjoyed your vaca!!~ No place like home right!!~?
