  Preparing a nursery for a baby is a wonderful time in any parent's life, and making sure the nursery looks well decorated is important for welcoming a new baby to the house. Using pink and brown as the primary colors in a nursery can create a soft, subtle room that will be comfortable for the baby. There are many ways to make a pink-and-brown nursery look as though it was professionally decorated.
  
  

Pink Walls

• Choose a soft, pastel shade of pink for the walls. This will create a warm, comforting environment for the baby. Use a brown border near the ceiling or a teddy bear motif as an accent. Furnish the room with a cradle, rocking chair and changing table in brown. Place brown teddy bears throughout the room to enhance the nursery's soft feel and create visual stimuli for the baby.
  
  

Stripes

• Paint vertical stripes in varying shades of pink and brown on the walls. This design creates a professional look in the nursery, while the different shades of pink and brown maintain a sense of warmth in the room. Vertical stripes also help draw the eye to details, so choose furniture, curtains and other accessories in various textures and shades of pink and brown.
  
  

Brown Walls

• Dark brown walls can make a room feel small and cramped. Use a light shade, such as beige, to lighten up the nursery and make it easier to match other colors, including dark brown accents and shades of pink. Accent the light brown or beige walls with pink accents, such as floral decals or a pink border. Fill the room with wooden furniture and hang pink curtains to complement the light walls.
