A baby's nursery is a space that should be comforting and inviting to a new baby and also to his parents. Nurseries for baby boys are traditionally painted in hues of blue, but they don't have to be. There are many different painting ideas and choices when decorating a nursery for a boy. Add personality to a baby boy's nursery with creative paint ideas. - One way to create a unique nursery with paint is to choose modern colors instead of the traditional blue. Chocolate brown is warm and inviting and works well with many other colors such as cream, lime green, yellow and orange. Another very modern color is stark white. Although it may not seem very unique, it can be. Dress up white walls with modern baby art and fixtures. Decorate the room with modern looking furniture made up of straight, clean lines.
More unique and modern paint choices for a baby boy's nursery are red, grey, silver, gold, lime green, army green and orange. These colors are bright and bold, so mix them with neutral tones so that they are not overwhelming. - If your baby's room has a theme, think about having a unique mural painted on one of the walls. Jungle, ocean, island and mountain scenes all make interesting murals. If you don't really like the idea of an entire wall being a mural, just have a small part of it painted. The ceiling is also a good place for a mural that depicts a cloudy sky or a starry night sky. Many painting professionals offer mural painting, if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself. If you would like to do it yourself, but don't have the skills buy a mural painting kit that allows you to paint by number.
- Borders and stripes can dress up an otherwise boring paint job. A small border around the top of a room or at chair rail level can be just enough to satisfy your creativity without looking gaudy. A strip of a single of a bold complimentary color will make neutral walls stand out.
Vertical stripes also look great in a baby boy's nursery. They work well with circus and train themes. Paint alternating stripes in two different, but complimentary colors. If one is very bold, use a neutral color for the other. Two different hues of the same color also work well with vertical stripes.
