Baby Room & Nursery 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 for 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.
