If you're creating a baby girl's nursery but want to avoid the stereotypical baby pinks, we recommend using a dusky pink for a sophisticated look. Dusky pinks range from rosy shades to grey-based pinks and beyond, so don't feel limited by the classic pinks; there is a huge range of shades available to create a girly nursery you'll love.Â

Creating a Dusky Pink Nursery Colour Scheme
If you are looking for a dusky pink paint colour scheme throughout a girl's nursery or children's room, you should start by buying some sample pots in your favourite shades. It's always good to try a colour at home in the space you intend to paint, to see how it looks in different lights throughout the day.
You might want to consider painting your woodwork the same colour as the walls, often seen in period properties or painting them a lighter pink or darker pink as a nice contrast.Â
Pairing a soft green with pinks is a nice way to create a feminine nursery decor without it being too pink or twee. Sage greens or aquamarine all make great pairings with pinks.
Don't forget the ceiling. Leaving it bright white can throw the whole scheme off so try a lighter shade here or wrap the colour from the walls over the ceiling too for a harmonious finish.
