White or dark furntiure for a girl?

angiemom2be · December 2009

I was wondering what everyone thought about White or dark furntiure for a girl? I love the white but my DH is set on the dark.

So, Team Pink which are you choosing?

We did white with DD and LOVE it. We're doing espresso with this baby, and it didn't matter the sex, but that was b/c I didn't want to do white again, and I don't like any of the other colors.

We're having a boy but we planned on going dark if it was a girl. I just like it better.

I'd do whatever you both think looks best with the room colors/decor...good luck!

We are on team green, but going with the dark cherry. We just like the look of darker wood than a white.

We are going dark either way. .... now just have to find funiture that I love lol

We're still torn right now. I think we'll see which bedding we like and decide based on that. However we have an old dresser that will be in the baby's room for storage/change table so we may go with a white crib to match that.

Whatever we pick will be used for the next baby too so this decision is going to be a tough one.

with DD#1 We have natural/honey colored furniture. With this baby we're doing espresso. DH hates white.

I would go with dark since white will get dirty once they hit the toddler years. We made the mistake of buying white for DD, and now it has stains everywhere.

I personally love dark wood for both boys and girls. I love the look of pink and dark brown.

StevieJo · December 2009

White is very pretty but I've always loved espresso wood and that's what we'll be getting either way.

We went with white for our little girl..I just like the white better for a girl...softer

Mrs.Alanna · December 2009

I wanted dark, but once I started figuring out the look I wanted for my nursery, I realized that white would look better. I'm doing lots of blue in the nursery, so the dark furniture would just make it look too boyish.

We picked out a dark wood crib but haven't ordered it yet. I'm still getting used to the idea that I'm having a girl (really convinced myself I was having a boy) but I like the look of dark wood and lighter colors, like pink. Plus the rest of our furniture in our house is darker.

This! I would also get what matches your bedding. We are doing mostly pink and brown(expresso) colored stuff.

I love white furniture for a girl. The only thing though is that I always view white furniture as girly. So if you have more children and have a boy, then you may not be able to use. Unless of course you like white furniture for boys.

I have dark furniture for my son so that's what this next baby is getting.

Alyssa102 · December 2009

I think it's a personal taste...I like chocolate brown coloured funniture, regardless of the sex.

DH's grandma passed down an armoire to him when he was a baby and he wants to pass it down to our baby, unfortunately it is light coloured wood, so now I have a choice of getting light coloured wood to match the armoire, or just get a crib and dresser in chocolate brown and not have a match three peice set.

I hate white, no matter the gender we were looking at dark wood finishes.

mrsjenni · December 2009

I'm doing black furniture with this bedding:

I'm nto a pink girly girl fan and I'm also not into themes. This room is PERFECT.=)

scubaspot · December 2009

We chose cherry wood.

gmugrad9 · December 2009

We did white with DD and this one will be white also.

amessec · December 2009

I have the same problem...i love the white but DH likes dark brown....i think with the bedding we might do the white looks better tho so I think ill get my way Wink

laurasue · December 2009

We're doing dark partially because I like seeing the actual wood (instead of it being painted0 and because we prefer darker furniture better. I also think this will be nicer as she gets older and more versatile if we have more kids who may not be girls

VampyAuthor · December 2009

We got a honey colored furniture. Looks beautiful with our Dr. Seuss decor.

sherina825 · December 2009

Personally, I don't care for white furniture. We are getting cherry. It looks classic, so we can use it for the next one regardless of sex.

MWoodside · December 2009

We are doing white regardless of gender. Most of the furniture in our house is dark, so I like that look. The nursery is pretty small though & I feel like dark will make that room look smaller. White just seems fresh & nice for babies.

MrsDeHav · December 2009

i think it depends on the colors of the room and bedding set that you choose. dh and i had fallen in love with an espresso crib, but it doesnt look right with the bedding i chose. so, it looks like we're going with the white furniture.

srh08.05.06 · December 2009

We went with the dark cherry - I preferred that to white.

epona3 · December 2009

While I love how white looks, I think it gets dirty easily. We are going with a medium/dark wood for the crib. We don't want it to be too girly, b/c we hope to use the same crib for another baby. I don't think the color of the wood is what makes it gender specific, though. It really depends on the styling.

This is the 3 in 1 crib that I currently like:

Personally, I'm not a fan of white furniture. We're going with an oak crib and a yellow dresser no matter the sex.
