When choosing color schemes for baby nurseries, there are several things you should consider. While it is true that young children love bright primary colors, large spans of bright reds and blues and greens can be overwhelming. Decorating the baby's room with a calm color scheme is usually a better choice, for both Mommy and baby.
Almost any color scheme can work if you pay attention to details. Keep in mind that babies, and indeed, young children can be spooked by certain colors, toys, and cartoon characters; not being able to completely differentiate between real and imaginary. Using a combination of clear, light colors will be safer, and make it easier for you to update your décor as your child moves from infancy to toddling to adolescence.

Warm colors are a good idea if your room is not bright and sunny most of the day. Barn red, ruby, coral and cranberry will add to the warm, cozy feel of the room. Or, if you want to be a bit more conservative, try rose, peach or primrose to give you the warm fuzzies. Don't forget to balance your color. If you use the rich tones on your walls, keep the ceiling, floor and furniture light. Cream, pale blue or green, and white will balance your red walls by providing a cool serenity. If you go with the lighter tones on the walls, like yellow, peach, pink, or melon, accent with furniture, rugs, toys and accessories that go POW.
For a neutral boy/girl look, try a cheery indoor garden approach. Paint the ceiling a light sky blue and add some puffy white clouds, the walls a pale yellow, and the floor neutral - a natural wood tone or a taupe tile. A border paper of pink and white daisies, or pink, blue and white balloons, and a cotton throw rug that looks outdoorsy would be great. The furniture can be white, pale green, or a natural light wood.
If you have your heart set on a whimsical look, do everything permanent in a monochromatic color scheme. For example, you are doing a nursery for your baby girl in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Walls, floor, and ceiling would be lovely in mint green, using its different values by adding white or black to your mix. Then add your colors with bedding, borders, posters or pictures, rug, play table and chairs, etc.
There are two good reasons for this type of decorating. First, monochromatic rooms always look larger. If the ceiling and floor are also the color of the walls it will look the largest. If you have a very high ceiling in a small square room, you paint the ceiling darker to end that silo look. Conversely, in a low-ceiling room, raise the ceiling with darker walls and white above.
Because children outgrow their nurseries so quickly, moving up to the next step, toddler, becomes an easy and inexpensive process. The monochromatic color can remain the same. Then all it takes is changing the bed, updating the border on the wall, removing the changing table and adding a play table and chairs and Voila.
