Baby Room & Nursery Paint Colours

Whether you opt for a nautical blue, an optimistic pink or a sunny yellow, the best paint colours for a nursery are the ones you choose with love.

Your baby’s room is a place for them to sleep, learn, and explore. Their nursery should be as unique as they are, featuring colour combinations that easily adapt as they grow.

From soothing hues found in nature to colour combinations based on their zodiac signs, colour inspiration is everywhere. No matter your nursery design style, our seven calming, gender-neutral colour palettes are here to help you find the hues that will welcome and nurture your baby throughout the years.

1. Story Books & Sweet Dreams

Create an enchanting, calming nursery with a palette inspired by bedtime stories. Sweet Bluette 813 and Cloud White OC-130 reflect a springtime sky, while Backwoods 469 evokes forests plucked from fairy tales — perfect for a nursery accent wall or mural, should you incorporate one into your nursery design.

2. A Pop of Pink

Bring your baby home to a room as rosy as they are with this trio of contemporary, cheery hues. Fashion Pink 2009-50 is bouncy and vibrant, while the soft glow of Sunlit Coral 2170-60 provides balance and calm. Tie everything together with trim painted in Lychee AF-40, a gentle off-white that shares a peachy undertone with the rest of the palette.

3. A Sunny Disposition

Bring up your baby in a space that soothes the senses and serves as your little one’s introduction to colour. Both playful and peaceful, pastels are always a popular choice for nursery paint colours. Surround your baby with sunny optimism courtesy of Windswept OC-94, Weston Flax HC-5, and Hathaway Peach HC-53, three delicate hues that emanate warmth and happiness.

4. Neutral Nursery Design

If you’re looking for neutral nursery paint colour ideas that can evolve as your baby gets older — yes, even through the teen years — our minimalist palette is a great choice. Sandy beige hues in a variety of shades, including Cedar Key OC-16 and Soft Chamois OC-13, mean you have endless versatility when it comes to nursery décor ideas, especially as the room enters kids’ room territory and beyond. Add Davenport Tan HC-76, which has muted grey undertones, on an accent wall for a streamlined look.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best paint colours for a baby room?

Surround your baby with colours that soothe and nurture. While pastel pinks and blues are always popular choices, we love pale greens, yellows, and even neutral colour schemes, too. For a cohesive look with a bit of pop, opt for a nursery accent wall a few shades deeper than the color on the other walls.
