Designing a Pink Nursery?
Beautiful nurseries come together when the layout, colors, and furniture work together—not just the decor.
The Complete Nursery System walks you through the same step-by-step planning process designers use to turn nursery inspiration into a finished room.
Soft Pink Nurseries
Soft pinks are lovely for creating a fun and elegant baby girl's nursery. It's a timeless choice while hugging the room with the gentleness of an early morning blush sky. It sets the stage for giggles, dreams, and tender moments, creating an ambiance that's both playful and sophisticated.
Take a look at Rose's nursery, which we painted with Sherwin Williams Intimate White. This shade is the the softest blush. It creates a warm, soothing ambiance that feels utterly refined, far from anything overly sweet or cloying.
Another dreamy hue that's just perfect for a nursery is Benjamin Moore's Bridal Pink which we painted Nyla's nursery in. This shade has a hint of peach, striking that delightful balance between feminine charm and a chic, sophisticated vibe. It's the kind of pink that whispers rather than shouts, lending a soft, inviting glow to any room.
Mid-tone Pink Nurseries
If you want a pink nursery idea beyond the pale, consider this tip: Mid-tone pinks bring a whole new level of sophistication to your baby's first room.
When we designed this gorgeous nursery for Josephine's, we used PPG Paints' Subdued—a captivating mid-tone that flirts with the richness of Merlot red and the warmth of oaky undertones.
We love the subtlety and elegance and how it creates an ambiance that's both romantic and incredibly restful—ideal for those quiet moments of lullabies and cuddles.
Pink Floral Nurseries
If a full-on pink paint commitment for a nursery can feel like a leap to you, we've got another pink nursery idea that infuses both pink hues and femininity without overwhelming the space. Pink floral wallpaper. Yes, it’s as delightful as it sounds!
It adds that touch of femininity and warmth without going too far into the pink spectrum.
We use this approach a lot in our nursery designs because it lets us play with patterns and textures, adding layers of interest that paint alone can't achieve. Take a look at the nurseries we designed for Aubree, Lillian, Eliana, and Dalia.
Barbiecore Nurseries
If you've got a penchant for pink and a dash of nostalgia, why not bring a bit of fabulous fun into your little one's nursery with a Barbiecore vibe?
Use a gorgeous pink wallpaper with playful patterns or chic, modern designs that nod subtly to our favorite fashion icon, Barbie.
Now, add those Barbie accents—think of adorable miniature dream cars, stylish doll prints, or even elegant little furnishings inspired by Barbie's dream house.
The Barbicore nurseries below are ones we designed and pay a playful homage to a beloved classic that has been reimagined for today!
Pink Wallpaper Nurseries
So, you're swooning over pink nursery ideas, but the thought of painting has you seeing, well, not pink. No worries because we've got the perfect style hack— removable wallpaper. We're talking about chic, commitment-free, and transformative!
In both Hannah's and Abigail's nurseries, we embraced this design lifesaver with a stunning light pink faux linen wallpaper. It's like giving the walls a cozy hug with a whisper of pink that's oh-so-gentle and soft to the touch.
This peel-and-stick wonder is the ultimate nursery ally. Change your mind, or when it's time to update the room for your growing tot, peel off and start afresh. Its design freedom without strings gives you that high-end look with all the practical perks.
Romantic Gray Pink Nurseries
If you want to create the most beautiful nursery with a splash of pink that's all grown up, consider Farrow & Ball's Peignoir. It's a soft, dreamy pink with a whisper of grey, adding a layer of romance and sophistication that's far, far from your everyday bubblegum or Barbie pink.
When designing Amaya's nursery, we chose Farrow and Ball's Peignoir. It is a graceful blend of pink and grey. We paired it with soft textures and subtle metallics, and voilà, we've got a nursery that's as stylish as it is welcoming.
Mellow Pink Nurseries
If you want a pink nursery for your little girl that strikes the perfect balance between vibrant and soothing, you must consider Fairest Pink by Benjamin Moore. This hue is nothing short of a dream! It's the ideal blend of warmth, steering clear of that all-too-familiar bubblegum boldness.
When we designed Annalise's dreamy nursery, we painted her nursery walls with Benjamin Moore's Fairest Pink. It has this magical way of lighting up a space with its lively spirit while keeping the vibe wonderfully mellow.
Earthy and Dusty Nurseries
If you are looking for the perfect whisper of pink that's neither too loud nor too soft, let's talk about Dead Salmon by Farrow & Ball. We adore this color! Its name doesn't do justice to its stunning depth and versatility. This shade is like the chameleon of pinks - earthy, with a dusky charm that makes it an absolute gem in nurseries.
It has a presence that's undeniably stylish yet so comfortably familiar. This gorgeous balance makes it a dream for spaces where you want warmth without the weight and softness without the saccharine.
Another lovely of dusty pink is Behr's Rosewater. It's like capturing the essence of a soft, early morning sky on your walls. When we designed this sweet nursery for Celeste - we paired it with the timeless elegance of board and batten. It's a gorgeous space.
Rosewater isn't your average pink; it has this gorgeous depth that plays beautifully with light, lending an air of sophistication and warmth to the room.
Muted Rose Nurseries
If you want a pink nursery with understated elegance, consider Farrow & Ball Sulking Room Pink. We love this pink for a girls' nursery. It's a sophisticated, muted rose that wraps the room in a cozy, warm embrace without overwhelming it with sweetness.
Its powdery finish gives it a dreamy softness, making it the perfect backdrop for those looking to introduce a touch of refined and versatile color. And when it comes to playing well with others, Sulking Room Pink is a true team player.
We used this pink paint when designing Maddie's and Seraphina's nurseries.
