paint question

So I'm not goign to start on the babies room until we find out the sex in 2 weeks but I'm trying to start planning in my head haha. 

So our house has all dark wood trim and beams so in the room that will be the babies room all of the trim around the doors and window and the doors them selves are all darker wood. We will probably be getting furniture that will match that trim as close as we can.

So the questions is, if I paint the walls like a light grayish color, do you think that would go with the darker wood? I want to do the walls in a light gray and then have the accents be shades of purple if its a girl or blue with some pops of a bright green if its a boy... does that sounds terrible? I"m really bad at the whole color thing haha

    I think that sounds really cool! Go with it! I just wouldnt bring any dark colors keep them light.. the dark wood and furniture will be enough.

    yea that was my thought too, the trim and furniture will be dark so I want to lighten it up. The gray color on the walls will def be more of a light gray not too dark and thne I want to do alot of accents with colors with the bedding, the curtains, some artwork, etc.

    I'm not sure I love the idea of natural wood trim and gray together. I just can't picture it looking super nice together.

    Although we're painting our walls a light gray and plan on espresso furniture. So we'll be combining gray and dark brown wood. I guess it really depends on how dark your trim is.

    Get the paint up on the walls, you dont like it.. You can always paint over it!

    I think it sounds great!  To me, dark wood looks really nice with gray.
