An excellent wall paint choice for a jungle theme nursery is Sherwin-Williams paint color #6449, Topiary Tint. This light shade of green provides the perfect background for a wild jungle atmosphere, while still maintaining a tranquil mood in the nursery. To complete the design of the jungle theme nursery, simply add accents of tan and green through the décor. Creative touches, such as stenciling a tree on the wall, can be added as well. The finishing touch to this jungle theme is to include many sizes and variations of stuffed animals to the nursery.

#2 Best Sherwin-Williams Paint Color for a Nursery

To design a dreamy and fairytale-like room for a baby, try Sherwin-Williams paint color Aviary Blue, #6778. This tint of blue is the ideal color for a creating a heavenly appearance. Begin by painting the entire wall with the Aviary Blue. Once this coat is dry, mix a white paint with Sherwin-Williams glaze product (usually 4 parts glaze to one part paint). Using a sea sponge, dab the mixture lightly on the wall to make fluffy clouds. For an added fun factor, form some of the clouds into animal shapes, like a duck or cat. Compliment this design with light-colored or white furnishings.

#3 Best Sherwin-Williams Paint Color for a Nursery

When designing a nursery with a lot of stimulating colors for a baby, it's best to choose a pale shade of wall paint to balance the room. Instead of the basic white wall, a nice Sherwin-Williams paint color to use is Lantern Light, #6687. This paint is a pale yellow-gold color that sets a warm, mellow tone to the room. The color is neutral enough that the bold black, white, and red accents intermingle well without clashing.

To set the mood for a princess theme nursery for a baby girl, an excellent paint color is Sherwin-Williams paint color Rose Colored, #6303. This beautiful shade of pink is perfect for creating a room fit for royalty. Drape the wall with light organza or netting to complete the regal appearance (remember to keep this out of the baby's reach). Decorate the nursery with complimentary shades of pale pink and white.

#5 Best Sherwin-Williams Paint Color for a Nursery

For a baby boy, create a playful Puppy Dog nursery with Sherwin-Williams paint color Resolute Blue, #6507. Paint the top half of the walls with this medium shade of blue. For the lower section of the wall, use Sherwin-Williams paint color Netsuke, #6134. This neutral tan shade will balance out the bright-colored baby toys in the room. Add a dog-themed border along the middle of the wall to complete the look. For a fun element in the room, stencil a trail of paw prints on the wall and/or floor. Decorate the nursery with medium or dark wood colors, bright toys, and lots of stuffed dogs.

#6 Best Sherwin-Williams Paint Color for a Nursery

A nice choice for wall color in a nursery rhyme theme room is actually a combination of two Sherwin-Williams paint colors. For the base color use Anjou Pear, #6381. Once this coat has dried, mix Sherwin-Williams glaze and the second paint color, Jonquil, #6674. Apply on this top coat with a sea sponge. The final result will be a parchment paper effect. To finish decorating the nursery, add stuffed animals, books, and other elements from favorite nursery rhymes. The neutral colors on the wall will tone down the bright, busy patterns from the accessories and provide a fun, yet relaxing room for the baby.
