What Color of Nursery Letters Go With Pink & Brown Bedding?

Pink and Brown

• Choosing pink and brown nursery letters is the easiest way to coordinate with similar colored bedding. Some bedding manufacturers make matching letters and design accents that are the same exact shades as crib sheets, pillows and blankets. If your chosen bedding manufacturer does not make additional decor items, selecting your own in pink and brown doesn't have to be difficult. Take fabric swatches to select almost the same shades or opt for different hues. Mix up different pinks and browns for an eclectic look. Include hot flamingo pink and soft powdery hues along with chocolate brown and shades of beige.

White

• White block letters on your nursery wall can create a fresh, clean look. For a more contemporary feel, coordinate your pink and brown bedding with different shades of white, such as ivory, eggshell or blue-whites. Before deciding on white nursery letters, take into consideration your wall color against the actual accent decor. Although white walls may match your pink and brown crib sheets, it won't highlight ivory letters. Use white letters as an option for walls that are painted a bright, deep or rich shade. This will make the nursery letters pop in contrast to the wall itself.

Reds

• As a lighter hue of red, pink traditionally matches well with this vibrant color. Additionally, many shades of brown have a touch of red or a reddish tone in their overall color. Adding red nursery letters to your baby's pink and brown color scheme can create either a dramatic or complimentary look. Light pinks and brownish-tans set against ruby red lettering provides an interesting visual contrast. More vivid hues of pink and deeper browns make for a more continuous color palette along with red letter shades.

Multi-Colored Letters

• Although a rainbow of letter colors may not exactly go with your pink and brown nursery bedding, you can strategically choose a few different shades or even patterned print letters for the walls. In addition to using brown and pink multi-colored lettering, you can mix and match a few coordinating colors, such as oranges, reds, black and whites. For a designer look, use multi-colored patterned fabric or stenciled letters. For example, try a red, brown and orange paisley fabric for your lettering or opt for a beige, purple and pink polka dot print. As an added bonus the pattern and bright colors will be visually stimulating to your baby, holding her interest and keeping her entertained.
