Gray Nurseries Follow the Latest Trends

Instead of simply creating a pink nursery for your baby girl, it is a good idea to pick a complimentary secondary color to decorate with such as grey. When thinking in terms of interior design it can be a good idea to follow the 60:30:10 rule for an aesthetically pleasing design. 

To follow that color theory rule make 60% of your room your dominant color choice for design. Typically this is a more neutral color like gray but in a nursery (or all children’s rooms), you can use a more bold color as the primary color within your scheme. 

Then aim for 30% of the room to feature the secondary color in your design scheme. Finally, if you want to have a pop of bright color feature it in 10% of the room design. Black, white, or a different shade of pink or grey is a great way to add a bold accent color to 10% of the design.

Pink nurseries are cute, but incorporating grey is an easy way to modernize your baby girl’s nursery and make it even more attractive. Since you will be spending so much time in the nursery the first year, grey and neutral tones incorporated into the nursery add a calming element that can be more pleasant to spend hours in when soothing, feeding, and changing your baby.

 

​Baby Girl Nursery Ideas Pink and Grey and Designing the Nursery Walls

The first step in any room design is selecting the walls’ appearance. It’s nice to start with fresh paint or wallpaper when designing a brand-new room. You can select a single color to paint all the walls in your baby girl’s room like baby pink, light grey, or even a fresh coat of white.

You may also choose to do something more design-oriented such as featuring an accent wall with a bold color or even some modern wallpaper. Imagine how stunning a bright pink accent wall could look with a beautiful crib leaning against it in a room with gray walls all around. An accent wall gives the room a bold focal point to design around.

Wallpaper has gained popularity again over the past five years, but wallpapering an entire room is quite a commitment that you may not be ready to commit to. It also can look very busy. Consider using an attractive nursery wallpaper that matches your colour scheme on a single accent wall.

​Consider Using a Wall Decal

If you have selected a white background or even light gray or light pink paint colors for your nursery walls, consider adding a cute nursery wall decal.

Baby animals, ballerinas, or flowers are a popular choice in little kids’ rooms and nurseries.

Pick Out the Perfect Wall Art

There are so many unique pieces of wall art that would complement a nursery designed around gray and soft pinks. Your nursery wall art is the perfect opportunity to feature the bold accent color you selected for your room without it being overpowering. 

Perhaps an ice cream wall art could make your room look sweet with sugary pinks.

Pops of color within abstract art look stunning.

Also, a modern nursery must-have is a custom name sign. It’s easy to find one that will complement your nursery collection perfectly.

Baby Girl Nursery Ideas Pink and Grey for Designing the Rest of the Room

If you chose a lighter shade of pink or white for your walls consider a gray crib and changing table set. Grey-washed wood is a great choice that looks trendy and modern and is easy to find these days.

A white crib and changing table/dresser set will also complement bold wall colors perfectly and is great if white is your accent color of choice.
