Anyone who thinks that only bright, “positive” design is suitable for a nursery is mistaken. In fact, the riot of colors quickly tires and bores both the owner of the room and the rest of the household. Finishing in neutral colors, on the contrary, seems to be a universal and long-term solution. For example, a nursery in gray will last for many years; at the same time, it is quite simple, spending a minimum of money, to change its appearance.

Usage restrictions and how to get around them
Despite the obvious advantages, the use of this tone in a nursery has some limitations. In terms of its effect on the psyche, gray is closer to cold tones, therefore it is more suitable for decorating rooms facing south and southwest. Here, good natural lighting allows you to create combinations not only with warm, but also with cold tones.

It is not recommended to decorate a nursery exclusively in a gray palette. This room looks boring and uninviting. It gives rise to a feeling of isolation; not only stabilizes, but fetters feelings and can lead to emotional exhaustion. A child (especially a small one) loses his mood, sleep and appetite suffer. You can neutralize the problem with the help of bright objects and decorative elements.
