Nursery Color Ideas for Boys

Blue

• Blue is a classic choice for a baby boy's nursery. Whether you use dark blue, light blue or something in between, blue is always appropriate for a baby boy. Use blue on its own, or paired with some other color such as brown, green or orange. Blue is a can't-miss choice if you want your baby's nursery to signal to the world that you have a baby boy.

Primary Colors

• Red, yellow and blue, the primary colors, are another classic choice that never goes out of style for a baby boy. Other than black and white, the primary colors are the most basic colors that young children learn to identify, and are also the colors from which all other colors are mixed. Additionally, primary colors are bright and stimulating.

Red, Brown and Cream

• If you have visions of a cowboy-themed room for your little bronc buster, try red, brown and cream. Use red bandanna prints and mix them with brown and cream spotted pony print for a room that will last your little boy well beyond his baby years. The colors are masculine yet not plain or too dark.

Green and Brown

• Green and brown make an adorable color combination for a baby boy's room. There are several decorating themes that fit well with this color scheme and are just right for boys, including jungle, rainforest, dinosaur and nature themes.

Orange, Yellow and Black

• Boys love trucks and construction equipment. No matter if it's a dump truck, bulldozers or a front-end loader, a baby boy will sit up and take notice if he sees one on the street. Orange, yellow and black are wonderfully suited to a baby boy's room and are a terrific color combination for a construction-themed room.
