White Box Half-->If you have limited space in your baby’s room, a feature wall is a great way to open up the area. It also adds a bit of fun and personality to the room.
When choosing your wall, consider your space as a whole to find the best focal point. Avoid choosing a wall with windows that give the room it’s natural light, as these two focal points may clash.
The lighting in your baby’s room is another important thing to consider. Some colours can change in different lighting conditions, which is why we recommend testing them first using a Dulux sample pot, sticker or A4 card.
The ceiling is also an often overlooked aspect of a nursery. It’s important to give your ceiling some thought — if your nursery has a low ceiling, try painting it white or a light neutral shade like beige, cream or ivory. This helps give your ceiling the illusion of height.
Dulux UltraAir® Ceiling pairs with your wall paint for a low emissions solution. It's the perfect paint choice if you’re looking for ultra-low chemical emissions and odour paint to help you maintain indoor air quality.
