No matter which nursery idea you're currently considering, there's a universal theme that has been sweeping the nation: peaceful and calming. And rightfully so! Prospective parents deserve a soothing, relaxing space to spend those long, sleepless nights and wee hours of the morning tending to their little ones.

In fact, there are more options than ever for an elevated, peaceful oasis for baby and parents. Intrigued? Ahead, we're, sharing seven of the best color palettes to bring calm to a nursery.
