Nurseries are one of my absolute favorite rooms to design (hence my focus on children's interiors) and paint colors are usually one of the first things that I decide on. My designs always involve classic elements with a modern edge so they will always be in style but are relevant to today's trends.
(y'all know I love me some pink, so if you want recommendations on the perfect girly shade, stay tuned for that post). This color is similar to Timeless White, but is slightly brighter while still being creamy and fresh. It compliments so many colors and can absolutely work with either boys or girls Use it on all walls or as an accent and pair it with soft colors and textures and you cannot go wrong.
This is one of my favorite colors and can absolutely be used in both a boy or girl nursery - just ask my daughter.

I am normally very good at picking out colors and rarely ever second guess my decision - except for my daughter's nursery.
I tried about 15 (no lie) color samples, all light and airy, and nothing felt right. Then I told found this color, brought home a sample, showed my husband and he thought I was absolutely crazy. At first glance you may feel that this color is more geared towards a baby boy.
But I promise you, if you added white, gold and brought in some coral, this color can totally work for a girl too! It's almost like its always the best supporting actress - when you walk into the room, you'll notice the design and how you feel in the space, and then realize a large part is this wall color.

I came upon this color while working on a gender neutral nursery for an amazing client (see it here) and the one request was an accent wall, but nothing super dark (below was her inspiration photo). I found this color and immediately knew it was the perfect shade of green - calming, chic and neutral. It's also worth noting that we did an ombre wall effect by painting each wall a different color leading up to Riverway - the other colors (equally beautiful) were Skyhouse HGSW3297 and Rice Terrace HGSW3296.
