Decorating the nursery

[Raindrop87]

We're about to start decorating the nursery which I'm very excited about!

Can anyone recommend a good off white paint for the nursery? Who knew there were so many different shades of white! 🤣

We're having a little girl so the room is going to be off white with touches of blush pink, grey and maybe a bit of silver/rose gold/copper - if anyone has a similar scheme and you've bought anything lovely then I'd love some recommendations.

Also looking for some nice blush pink/patterned bunting - has anyone seen any anywhere?

Any help appreciated! x

Farrow and ball peignoire is lovely pinky grey. It’s quite dark but “great white” is the shade lighter and is a lovely off white pinkish grey. I have it in my room and love it!

Clay white by crown is beautiful!

And it's available in their breatheasy range too :) so no fumey paint smell!

I'm using dulux rock salt which is the latest of pale grey

Valspar soft wool is a lovely warm off white.

Lots of good suggestions, I'll be picking up some tester pots!

Have a look on Etsy for bunting and other accessories, a lot of makers will custom make with your choice of colours x

Nutmeg white. Also check out this thread:

We used little knights paint in dd's nursery. It's voc free and anti-mould so I was allowed to help paint while pregnant!

Not an overwhelming selection of colours, but proper quality.

Another vote for great white farrow and ball. Which can be colour matched at brewers if you want too for cheaper paint times. @Homassy I have it in my bedroom too ☺️

We used this www.littlegreene.com/clockface
It’s got a sort of warm grey hue to it.

@Raindrop87 I seriously suggest colour matching, it's such a good service but only brewers or Johnson's do it exactly (b and q are not allowed to match Farrow and ball/little green ect).

Then you can order paint charts for free from a variety of different suppliers and then pick whichever you like best, and they match it absolutely perfectly. You will never look back, it makes it a little more then using Dulux ect, but you get the pigment and opacity that you'd expect from really high end paint through the matching. Little green are the national trusts paint brand and send an amazing paint chart for free 👍

Fired Earth Silica White.

Just make sure its fully wipeable. When ds was a new born he actually shit up the wall. Something I never thought would happen.

We renovated our new home last year and have washable paint everywhere, baby-proofing!

So I bought some tester pots today and initially felt silly for buying tester pots of white but oh my god, finding a nice white is so difficult! Have been finding them either too beige, yellow, grey or blue! 🤯

@Raindrop87

I love great white by F&B too.

@Rainallnight yes I have it in my bedroom but it had a lilac/grey tint which the op doesn't appear to want. I think she needs something very pure white 🤷‍♀️
