Design help!

I need your design expertise for the nursery! I am doing light blue walls with red accents. Our nursery furniture is white. But I'm totally stumped about what color to get for the glider. I don't want to do white -- I think it will get dirty too easily and my husband is already complaining about potential white overload. 

I was thinking grey might be a nice accent with the blue, but I have a brownish carpet, so that won't work. I'm thinking because of the carpet, my only option is a dark brown glider (if we don't do white). Would that look weird to have a dark brown glider with an otherwise light nursery (light blue/red walls, white furniture). I was thinking I could also do some other dark brown accents throughout the room to tie it all together, but not sure if that would be overkill...

    Dark brown would probably be fine. I can see why you definitely would not want to do white - maybe some pillows, pics/art or bedding with brown in it?

    Or - is there a navy/denim option?
    It seems like the colors on the gliders are often limited.

    Is there a pattern option you could go with instead of a solid color? I've seen some cute gliders that are houndstooth with navy or blue.

    There is a navy option. I guess navy might go better with light blue/red than a dark brown? Ack, I just can't decide! 

    Msmarsh - Unfortunately, no patterns in the glider I really like. I agree though, a light blue pattern would be perfect!

    Have you considered getting on secondhand and painting it blue or red? I think that would be sweet.

    I think the brown will work but a beige or sand would be nice,still light, hide dirt, go with the carpet.  If the white get's dirty beyond cleaning you can easily recover most pillows.
