      Paint lavender on your walls. This soft color will help you and your baby relax when you spend time in there together. For an added effect, hand paint stripes or designs in a lavender color that's one shade darker than the color you put on the walls.

      Make lavender your focal color, but it doesn't have to be your only color. Lavender is beautiful when accented with white, ivory and pink for a girl's room. In a baby boy's room, you can accent baby blue and sage green with lavender. Look for wall hangings, bedding, furniture and window treatments in your accent color so that the lavender doesn't overpower the room.

    • 3

      Incorporate lavender fabric that features ladybugs, flowers or butterflies for a girl's room. For a boy's room, choose a lavender fabric with accents of baby blue, such as baby blue hippos or trains.
