Whether you’re designing a gender-neutral nursery or simply craving a fresh, natural shade for your little one’s space, green is an increasingly popular choice. It has recently burst onto the nursery scene in shades across the spectrum. Studies have long shown that exposure to this rich and versatile color can reduce anxiety and promote baby’s sense of health and well being. But green’s calming super powers are not limited to pastel shades of mint and sage. Darker shades of green have an almost magical ability to sooth the soul, combining the nurturing power of Mother Nature with the moody drama of a pigment-heavy color. Even deep shades of hunter and jade can make a delicious statement while remaining deceptively neutral, especially in more muted shades. The grayer the tone, the more neutral the color. So move over navy—there’s a new power neutral in town, and it’s driving the locals green with envy. Need a little inspiration? These beautiful green nurseries shown in a variety of shades and styles should do the trick.
