I know for sure taht I want light grey walls, what do you all think is best to do for curtains? White? Teal? I'm thinking maybe some kind of print to give room good visual impact. Maybe teal and white chevron? Or is it better to keep the curtains neutral and have pops of teal and coral/orange throughout the room? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-colour-scheme-for-dds-room#post-630809 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:45:39 +0000 aprk 630809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: that's beautiful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-colour-scheme-for-dds-room#post-630796 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:40:01 +0000 pregnantbee 630796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Teal or aqua and grey like others have suggested. You could throw in some easy-to-change coral accessories for now and if baby #2 is a boy, you won't have to do much.

However, I think yellow is more gender neutral, if you are thinking best for future use too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-colour-scheme-for-dds-room#post-630522 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 11:30:08 +0000 plantains 630522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So we are moving into a 2 bedroom apartment where we will likely live for at least the next 10 years. We currently have an 8 month old daughter, but because this is NYC, even if/when we have another child we will still be living in the 2bdr as there is no way we can spring $1.5 million for a 3bdr.</p> <p>I am planning the decor for LO's room and want to make good choices. I want to have the walls grey but was trying to decide between yellow/grey or coral/grey for the overall look of the room. </p> <p>I love coral/grey but worry that if we have a boy in a couple of years and want them to share, it might be too girly. I also love yellow/grey but worry that maybe it is a bit overdone or passé.</p> <p>I have no idea what to do, help me bees. I need inspiration! </p>
