The color scheme in the nursery

What color scheme to choose for the baby’s room, there is an opinion that for girls choose red or pink shades, and for a boy - blue and blue shades. But this is an amateur, such superstition has long sunk into the past.

Now the color palette for a children's room depends only on your taste and wishes. Naturally, it is not advisable to choose too bright or aggressive colors, for example, bright scarlet or deep purple, but their calm shades will look good in the nursery.

Since the baby will spend a lot of time in his room, the choice of colors and shades should be approached carefully and very seriously. His well-being and mood will depend on this, which is directly related to your peace of mind.

Psychologists advise choosing wallpaper for the children's room for the newborn in soft pastel shades such as:

• Lactic.
• Coral.
• Pearl.
• Blue.
• Beige.
• Yellow.
• Pink.
• Purple.
• Lavender.
• Green.
• Azure.

What colors and shades will be present in the interior and design, such emotions will be experienced by the kid, studying them. Since bright saturated colors evoke a sense of activity, they color the toys, and the child eventually understands that brightness is activity.

Bright colors should also be present in the room, for example, in the quality of:

• Colorful picture or picture on the wall.
• Of course, toys, but not many.
• A carpet full of flowers on which the baby plays.

• And much more.

Advice! Do not use bright, saturated and dark colors on the ceiling, as they will put pressure on the baby, and he will feel uncomfortable.
