> decorating with grey for a nursery

If you are considering designing a baby's nursery, don't automatically think of decorating it in white.. think of using shades and tones of grey instead. Grey can be as soft and gentle as white, but if has more pizzaz, more guts - it's a much more definite colour choice!

Our ethereal Lost Garden WallScene in soft putty grey is warm and enveloping and goes beautifully with classic or contemporary furnishings, and natural or white wooden furniture. As nurseries tend to be smaller rooms, the scale of this design will make a room feel enormous! And, when your baby is out of the cot, it works brilliantly in a growing child's bedroom too!

How about going darker? Don't be scared about using a dark grey - it really will add depth and tons of drama. You could initially try it out on one focal wall to start with if you feel a little hesitant. This room, with white cot and natural flooring looks lovely. Vintage frames on the wall contrast brilliantly with the contemporary cot and you can add pops of colour to really bring to life. Pinks, acid yellow, orange and turquoise look fabulous with dark grey and will really lift a room. 

Mid grey has been used with white to keep it fresh in this room. See how well the black accessories work with the grey? As does the natural rustic wood flooring. And the contrast of warm yellow lifts the room and injects as warm cheery glow.
