What color crib for TEAM GREEN?

misspuppychow · February 2016

We're trying to pick a crib color without knowing the gender. We also want a crib we can reuse for multiple kids. Our nursery is gray and we plan to do a blue or pink elephant theme... Depending on the gender. Please comment with any thoughts! I normally like dark brown furniture but white looks great for a crib, but worry about looking dirty over time...

White is super easy to match. You don't have to worry about being able to find a dresser or any other furniture in the same shade.

DDs room is grey and pink. We have white furniture

DS's room is starry night themed with a gray crib. We are having a girl this time and she's getting the exact same nursery. We are moving our son to a new ocean themed room.

What color are the trim, floors and blinds in the room? My first pick would be white but if everything else is wood, I'd go with the stain that matches.

We did dark brown for both our boys because I wanted convertible cribs and couldn't imagine a full size bed in white. I always envisioned white as more of a girl color too, but that's personal preference.

I thought you posted earlier that it's a girl?

We were team green for #1 and I went with really dark mahogany furniture, a gray arm chair rocking chair, a whit chair rail and white bead board on the bottom third of the wall and a gray/green/taupe/beige wall color. We did the spring green striped bedding from pottery Barn. And ended up having a boy. It works perfectly.

This. There was a whole thread about a gender reveal.

Black is another option to consider if you want a convertible crib and it would go well with the gray.

No blinds yet. Carpet is a very light beige color. The walls are gray with white trim. We have no furniture for the room currently!!

It is a girl. But we're planning to use the cribs for future children as well and don't want to hole ourselves into a crib for one gender. It was just easier to say for team green then to try to explain all of that. People don't like to do much reading I have found.

We're doing grey furniture to keep it neutral. We're having a boy this time around, but we plan to have another in the next couple of years so I thought doing gray with hints of blacks/whites and pops of color would be fun and easy.

Our gender neutral nursery has dark wood, BUT the walls are yellow so it goes with that color scheme. With gray walls I'd be more inclined to do white furniture.

I don't like how gray walls look with dark wood. Our whole house is dark wood trim, but I wanted a gray and purple bedroom. So we painted all the trim in there white and looks great!

I think white is very pretty for a crib, but like some others have expressed, I don't care for it as a full sized bed. If you're not going the convertible route, I would say white is fine. If you're trying to use the crib for 2 babies and eventually convert to full size, I would go with a darker wood.
