Selecting your color palette will help you sail into the design process. The theme you select may play a part in your color choice, but it doesn’t have to. It’s easy to build a theme within the details of the room from bedding choices, wall art, and accessories. An excellent strategy for selecting your colors is to follow the 60-30-10 color rule. This indicates that your primary color, which will be used for the walls and potentially in a chair, couch, or rug, dominates about 60 percent of the space. Then, 30 percent of the room such as linens, tables or chairs, will be done in your secondary color. The remaining 10 percent can be decorated in an accent color that surfaces in throw pillows, blankets, art pieces and trinkets. The accent color is often more vibrant and adds some zest to the environment.
Soothing, pastel colors are the ideal option for lulling babies to sleep and generating a calm atmosphere. Here at Livly, we’re suckers for the traditional pastel pinks and baby blues for welcoming little girls and boys. If you’re waiting to find out the sex of the baby, you probably want to choose a neutral color for the walls. Anytime you’re not so sure about color, neutral shades like cream or beige are excellent choices because they turn your room into a convertible canvas. You can still fill the room with color later on in other ways, but by keeping the overall paint job subtle, you grant yourself flexibility moving forward.
During bath time, be sure to clean them gently with a sponge and avoid using scented soaps or shampoos. Simple, clean baby products are best. Remember that a baby’s skin is thinner and more sensitive than yours so extra care and attention will help you protect it.
