Try Rich Bold Colors:
Pastels are no longer considered good options for a nursery and are difficult to keep clean and looking great. Many experts believe that the best way to stimulate your baby’s vision is by using white and black stripes or contrasting light and dark colors.
The same can be said about pastel colors used for toys. You might think they are adorable and perfect choices, but they will not visually do anything for your baby. Through different studies, it’s believed that black and white registers better with babies and their retinas. These contrasts seem to send strong signals to a baby’s brain. Therefore, the stronger the signals, the better chances are for greater growth and faster visual development.
If black and white are just not something you find attractive for a nursery, try bold contrasting colors that are used in patterns.
Here are some excellent places to bring in patterns:
- Wallpapers or murals
- Fabrics or upholstery
- Area rugs
Don’t Forget The Ceiling:
