Painting Ideas for a Nursery
You can paint your the nursery room walls a plain pink color if you are expecting a baby girl, or paint the nursery walls in blue if you are expecting a baby boy. This will give a neat look, but if you are feeling extra creative, and want to make the baby nursery fun looking, here are some painting ideas for a nursery for you to try out.

Painting Ideas & Techniques for a Nursery

Make sure you use a primer and sealer, in case you have any gaps or bad patches in your walls. Also, a primer and sealer will increase the life of your wall paint, and will provide a good base for the interior painting colors. After you finish painting the wall with base coat colors, try out different painting techniques for a nursery using a stencil or create your own funky art. Make sure you use a semi-gloss, after you are done completely paining your walls. The gloss will protect the walls, and will be easy to maintain as it can be scrubbed and cleaned.

Before deciding on the interior paint colors and ideas, it is a good idea to select a theme. But, keep the theme simple without adding too much detail, and stick to some soft and light colors. Some good ideas for a boy's room can be cars, space, cartoons. For girls you can go with stencils like stars, flowers, butterflies, etc. Here are some creative ideas from which you can pick.

* Paint the bottom half of the walls with white, and the upper half with pink and white vertical stripes. Take a simple flower stencil, and 2-3 bright colors like yellow, orange and purple and paint an arch on a wall. Place the cradle under this arch, to give a wall art effect that the arch is over the cradle.
* Paint all your walls in a light sky blue color. Take a dark green color, and mix up white paint to create two shades of green. Now, paint with the original dark green color at the base of the wall, then take the medium green shade and paint a horizontal patch, over the dark green patch, and finally take the light green shade and paint on the second green patch. Do this for the rest of the 3 walls. Keep the edges of the patches uneven, so you get an effect of shading from the dark green color to the light shade. Now, use some Disney characters like Winne the Pooh or the Jungle Book characters and paint some of the characters on the walls. More on, wall murals.
* Paint your walls in a medium dark lemon shade, and take a butterfly stencil of different sizes and paint them on one wall. Give a perspective like feeling, by painting the big butterflies (dark shade) at the base and then medium shaped butterflies (medium shade) and finally the little butterflies (light shade). For butterflies you can go for paint colors like brown or dark orange.
* Paint all the walls blue, and with a stencil or your hand, paint a few clouds of white color. But for the surprise part, paint the ceiling a dark blue color and using a fluorescent shade, paint stars, spaceships and planets on the ceiling. With the room's lights-off, the ceiling will give an amazing space effect.
* Paint your walls off white, and then near the cradle side of the wall, draw a tree and on its branches rubber stamp some leaves, and between the leaves paint the characters A to Z.
* Other interesting baby room themes are underwater themes. Paint half of the wall with a sea wave curvy line effect, and the upper half of the wall white. Paint on the blue base coat, different underwater sea creatures, like sea horses, dolphins, corals, etc.
