An Orange Backdrop

Painting the walls orange in the nursery might feel like a risky option on the face of it, but it is far less perilous when you look at all the shades of orange available and the many finishes you can pick from. The more orange you use in the nursery, the more matte the finish needs to be! It is best to reserve glossy orange finishes to places where it is used in moderation. Also consider pastel hues in orange and trendy colors like coral instead of brighter orange hues to give the nursery a contemporary chic vibe.

Orange works well with both black and white accents with the former anchoring a large nursery and the latter providing visual spaciousness in small rooms. Lighting play a key role in the orange nursery and an even, understated lighting plan provides the best way forward. Too much of light in an already bright nursery can disturb your little one’s sleep cycle and create a disruptive mood.
