This effect is used when you want to highlight a particular element, such as a light crib on a dark wall. Also, it’s a good resource to “shrink” a very large room or wall in view.
3. A classic: Combine black and white
One of the most used contrasts in recent years for babies’ rooms is the classic B&W.
If the combination has the right proportions, the result with these elegant colors is a clean and cozy decoration.
