Choose the Right Shade of Pink Walls

When it comes to a dusty pink nursery, the options are endless. Choosing a shade that complements your overall décor is important, from blush pink to bubblegum bright pinks. Opt for shades like blush pink or dusty rose if you want a warm, soothing baby’s room. These colors create a calming and cozy atmosphere that is perfect for nap time. On the other hand, if you want to make a vibrant and inspired room, go for brighter shades such as bubblegum pink or fuchsia. These colors are great for playtime and enhance your little one’s creativity. For a dusty pink nursery, I went with an accent wall color of Benjamin Moore Desert Rose with the other walls as Sherwin Williams Eider White.

Herringbone Sponge Paint Accent Wall

I chose a dusty pink color for my nursery accent wall and added white sponge paint in a herringbone pattern for a modern boho nursery look. This wall is the room’s focal point, so I wanted to put some effort here. I initially thought of doing wallpaper, but I wasn’t finding the right color after ordering samples, so I decided to sponge paint instead. A whole blog post dedicated to this process is coming up, but until then, here is the short version:

• I painted the accent wall. Then, I painted the other walls white.
• Glue 4 sponges to a piece of cardboard in the pattern you’d like 
• Cut around the sponges for a more accessible application.
• Measure your wall to determine how many stamps you’d like to apply. 
• Dip the sponges gently into the paint and stamp them on the wall (Don’t worry about them being perfectly the same; the variation makes it so unique)!
• Once everything is dry, you can hang decor above the crib, like a nursery name sign.

Mix and Match Textures for Pink Nurseries

The right mix of patterns can add sophistication and a layered look to your baby girl’s nursery. Incorporating stripes, lace, or flowers can make the nursery look more timeless and fun. But to avoid overwhelming the space, stick to a color scheme and limit the designs to three or four. For example, pairing a floral patterned crib sheet with a striped accented rug and a girly polka-dotted swaddle blanket will give your nursery a cohesive and stylish look. I went with lace accents in the curtains and the hanging bow holder for this nursery.

Invest in Quality Nursery Furniture

Investing in quality baby furniture is key to creating a safe and comfortable space for your little one. Look for furniture that is durable, safe, and practical. A good crib, changing table, and rocking chair are must-haves for any nursery. When selecting furniture pieces, consider your space constraints and choose items that maximize space usage. For instance, a convertible crib that transforms into a toddler bed will provide longevity and function. For this nursery, I chose a white crib, white dresser, and ivory nursery glider. 

Add Some Dusty Pink Baby Room Personal Touches

A baby’s nursery is a functional space that reflects their parent’s taste and personality. Add personal touches to your little one’s room by including personalized items such as monogrammed bedding, custom art prints, or a DIY mobile. These simple additions can make your baby’s nursery look more unique and special. I added the hanging bow holder and wood nursery name sign.

Opt for the Right Lighting

The lighting can transform a dull nursery into a cozy and inviting space. Consider adding a dimmer switch or investing in soft lighting options such as a table lamp or a hanging light fixture. These lighting options create a warm, comforting atmosphere perfect for naps or late-night feedings. Adding whimsical nightlights or string lights can add a playful and fun touch to your little girl’s room. We added this white boho ceiling light that is dimmable. Since it’s a small space, I opted for this floor lamp with a built-in table, which is very functional when breastfeeding to have water, snacks, and nipple cream in reach. 

Must-Have Nursery Accessories 

When creating a cozy and stylish nursery, accessories are everything. And if you’re aiming for the perfect dusty pink theme, a few must-haves’ll bring the space together. Think of adorable bow holders, boho baby closet dividers, blush crib sheets, and a pink rug that’ll have your little one drifting to dreamland in no time. But why stop there? Accessories like a baby monitor, sound machine, wipable changing pad, and diaper pail can also be practical. So whether you’re decorating for a baby girl or love the soothing hue of dusty pink for a boy, these nursery accessories will complete the look!
