Q. I painted our baby’s nursery with Benjamin Moore’s Bird’s Egg (2051-60), as well as I’m not crazy about it. However, my hubby likes it as well as doesn’t want to modification it. Can you suggest coordinating colours/fabrics to opt for this colour for bed linen as well as accessories? I don’t want any type of infant prints. I like contemporary stripes or solids. In situation I can persuade my hubby to modification it, can you suggest a different aqua paint however in a a lot more suppressed colour?

A. Pratt & Lambert’s Light Aqua has a bit a lot more eco-friendly as well as is somewhat a lot more saturated than the Bird’s Egg, however your original colour is lovely, as well as a fantastic starting point. Colours like red as well as orange will complement the blue, however nearly any type of group of colours will work. Multi-coloured stripes are a fantastic method to introduce other colours as well as add visual rate of interest at the exact same time. If time permits, you can paint stripes ideal onto the walls, or just add them with crib bed linen as well as window treatments. If you want to stay away from infant prints, opt for “barcode” stripes for a a lot more contemporary look, or ticking stripes for a a lot more standard feel. For a a lot more subdued, tranquil nursery, opt for creamy white as well as linen-inspired beiges as tranquil accents with the blue walls. For a break in the blue, you might set up wainscotting to just below the light switches. paint the wainscotting a warm white like Benjamin Moore’s Cloud White (OC-130), as well as paint the walls above it the aqua blue.
