16 Unexpected Color Schemes Perfect for Baby's Nursery
Decorating a baby nursery can be one of the more enjoyable tasks when you're pregnant. Not only is it (very adorable) physical evidence of what's to come, but kids' rooms are just fun to design. Unlike with master bedrooms and living rooms, there's a little more leeway to be playful and out-of-the-box when decorating a baby's room. But of course, before you do anything, you need to decide the color scheme.
From fun twists on the familiar color combos you know and love to pairings of shades you probably wouldn't think of on your own, here are 16 super cool color schemes to consider for the nursery. Your baby -- and your eyes -- will thank you.
