Settling on a nursery design can be tough, but it's way easier when you have a certain color in mind. In my opinion, there's just something about yellow that feels perfect for the modern baby nursery. It's bright, gender-neutral and fun. So whether you're pining for a pineapple theme, or just want add a pop of yellow to the space, here are 7 yellow nursery ideas that feel as bright as a ray of sun!
When I think of yellow, I think of lemons and sunshine, bees and honey. But beyond the cheery images it conjures up, yellow is associated with some pretty positive emotions and traits. "It means happiness and optimism; it is the color of sun shining, or bright light and creativity. It is believed to have an influence on the left side of our brain, where deep thinking and perception dwells," according to Color Psychology.
Once you've settled on yellow as your go-to nursery hue, you can then start thinking about how and where you want to incorporate the color. You're certainly not limited to just picking yellow chevron crib sheets and calling it a day. Maybe you can even combine this decorating trend with another, like the floral nursery fad or vintage nursery vibes. The inspiring yellow nursery ideas below show that yellow can be used in all sorts of places, from cribs to cactus-print wallpaper, and everywhere in between.
