These two non-traditional nursery themes will give your baby’s room a fresh, new look. We have a couple of on-trend baby’s room color schemes— one bold and colorful, the other along soft and cheerful. Add polka dots or stripes for extra whimsy and fun in the look of your baby’s room.

Stripes add a lot of visual interest to a nursery. We created them in a warm green, gray and turquoise for a sophisticated, but easy to accomplish, look.
