We are in the process of trying to decide what color to paint the nursery. We both love a really subtle blue, but we're not sure it will be appropriate for a girl (.....we don't know what we're having).
I always had blue walls growing up, as I got older I re-painted them a bit darker and got plum coloured curtains which worked with some funky pictures on the walls.
Maybe go the blue paint but hold off on artwork or prints until the baby is born, then you can add fairies/princess ones for a girl or cars/trucks for a boy?
The most stunning little girls' room I have ever seen was blue.
Blue walls, then lots of blue-accented pieces to make it all match. Included a blue cot blanket embroidered with a colourful floral arrangement, and pink edged blue polka dot runner over the chest of drawers etc. It was all soooo pretty. Think Spode china - blue can be so elegant.
blue and purple can both have that effect, but so can a dusty pink. my mum has rose pink curtains and both my boys sleep better at her house during the day than they do here, as the sun shines through them and tints the light.
I think it's completely fine, if you have a girl you could always find some girly curtains with blue in it, and get a nice girly doonacover, hang a mobile, and put some wall stickers
DD 1 had a totally blue room - lovely soft lavendar sort of blue, with white accents. I think it works really well for girl or boy. Depends on what else you add to the room, really.
Yeah blue's good for a girl BUT beware letting too may people see it or they will make assumptions, and start buying you boy things! All well and good if there is a Y chromosome of course
I had pale blue soft furnishings in my room as a child... quilt cover, pillows, curtains etc. but my room was still girly. I had white furniture and it went well. I agree it's a lovely colour and much calmer than hot pink!
I'm leaning towards a really soft powder blue for our nursery and we aren't going to find out what we're having.
If it's a boy then fine but if it's a girl then good too because I am not really into way too much girly girl things, so i think it would be a nice balance between all the girly things she will obviously have (if it's a she!) and the walls.
I don't see why the colour would matter at all, whether it's on the walls or a onesie. You don't choose your own clothes and home decorations based on whether they're "an appropriate colour for a woman," so why should anything beyond "does it look good?" be a consideration for a baby?
Keep it in perspective: the poor thing can't even control its own bowels, so it's got no place disapproving of your colour choices!
Hey
Our bubs is due in about 4 weeks, we also don't know what we are baking. The baby's room is aqua/green - but really came out more aqua and we love it. We have elephants all the way around and it is a very claming room to be in. I say go for it!!! If we have a girl I will add some pink blankets etc but not really too fussed! Goodluck!
