Can I also add, at my daughter’s child care centre they recently painted a 16 foot wall in the 2-3yr old’s room bright orange and the kids were just apes after that. Psychotic apes.
So they switched it to purple, and used the orange on an exterior closed in play space and that worked much better.

You could always leave it white until the baby decides what it likes later on. Put the money towards brightly coloured accessories! (or a spa treatment for you)

I also vote Orange… but you know, you could do one accent wall orange and the others blue, and tie it together with fabric that has both colors

the orange looks great – so striking! However, blue is one of the most popular colors for bedrooms for the simple reason that it is one of the most restful and serene colors. I might steer you more towards the blue, and then you can kick it up with orange accents. (and maybe some cocoa brown? I am loving blue and brown these days.)

They are both so fun, but I really love the blue with the orange accents. The blue is so relaxing, but the little bursts of orange give it the energy that it needs.

The lovely thing about paint is that it can easily be painted over. I have two kids myself so I know that may be easier said than done but even so, it’s still true. Both the color schemes your thinking of are beautiful but if you find yourself regreting your choice once it’s up on the walls there’s nothing permanent about it. Change is only a few gallons of paint and a day or two of rolling away.

Even though I adore the last image of the orange flower with the green stem and leaf on the blue background, I’m still going to add my voice to the orange chorus. Yes, orange is kind of an up and coming color, the new pink as it where, but there’s still something quite unique about it. It’s just got a wonderful warmth about it and if you choose your shade carefully, it can be a warmth that soothes rather than shouts.

I love the image with the pumpkin in it! I like the brighter blue accent on the railing. I also like the orange accents in the accessories. You could always paint one orange accent wall then there wouldn’t be too much orange. Accent walls look amazing!

They had a color contest recently on apartmenttherapy.com where lots of people sent in pictures of their variously colored homes. Lots of them were baby/children’s rooms. You could look there to get ideas. I’m pretty sure there was at least on orange room! It’s in the archives under “contests”
