Nursery Plans

I love the color scheme. I really like the alphabet and the letter pictures.

I'm not a huge fan of the curtains though, I imagine that the little one could yank on them when they start crawling/ walking. (Obviously no kids here so I could be off)

I love the color scheme!
If you aren't feeling all grey walls, maybe you could have an accent wall? (3 navy, 1 grey?) I wanted navy walls, but was scared to commit at first. We ended up with 3 solid navy and one that had white horizontal stripes. I love it!

I love the color scheme! I think the teal and navy will help to liven up the grey.

The colors are very crisp and masculine even with the teal. I know what you mean about information overload on nurseries. We don't know gender and I am having so many difficulties. I know I want something soft colored and gender neutral but finding a starting point has been such a challenge.

I like the color scheme. My living room is painted a similar gray and it definitely isn't dismal.

I like it! I'd do grey walls over teal though, I think the teal on four walls could end up being brighter than you want.

Looks so nice! I think the grey walls will be great and you can brighten up with pops of color other places. You could also do what someone else did on here (I can't remember who it was?) and paint the inside back wall of the closet the accent color.

I love it! We did gray walls to start in our nursery but with only 1 window it was a tad dark. So H added white chair rail and painted below the chair rail blue. It really lightened up the room. We also considered doing white beadboard. Maybe one of those options would lighten the room up if you're worried about that?

I really like it. Gray walls seem VERY in right now- we are doing purple/yellow/gray for our nursery and it seemed like in the other thread many of us were using gray.

Love the mix of shades of blue as well.

We are doing light gray walls. I think it makes the room airy & fresh. I like the teal & navy with gray.

I love your color scheme!

[kermit]

Could you do a teal stripe on the walls, or a stencil? I don't really love one wall being a different color but you could do something with it. Or paint the ceiling that teal/turquoise color?

[Myrrhine]

I also like your color scheme! We have a grey and aqua boy nursery. We found a fairly muted aqua for the wall color (Martha Stewart enamelware at Home Depot). I was also afraid of gray walls, but we have a tiny low ceilinged space so I preferred a brighter wall color.

Gray could be great; I just wasn't brave enough!

Love it!

I'd also do the gray. What are your floors? Wood? Carpet?

I have gray in my bedroom, pretty dark shade, and it's very peaceful. I might do a lighter shade in the nursery. And your accents looks great!

That color scheme is so lovely!

I love your colors. I am planning something similar with light gray walls.

We painted our master bathroom teal and it is a little overwhelming. I regret the decision, but since we're the only ones who ever see/use that bathroom, I can live with it. It helps that we moved away from our home for a year & a half, though.
