Hi All

Me again...the second project is to convert the study room into a nursery incorporating the black and white wallpaper...(pic attached)

I was thinking yellow hues...can you recommend any color scheme that would match.

My you're a busy person. Smile Once again, you have a blank canvas (neutral scheme) and just about any color will work with black and white. Typically, red is recommended for new borns, but yellows, yellow-greens, pinks (assuming it's a girl), turquoise and lavenders, etc., etc. will look lovely with black and white. If you don't know the s*ex of the baby, stick w/ a gender neutral yellow green, red or yellow. BTW, mix in a black and white a boyish plaid, stripe or check with this flower print just to be safe.

Funny, but even before I read your post, I visualized yellow as well.
I think you should be GIVING advice, not asking for it.

I immediately thought of bright green, maybe because of the view from the window.

Although black and white is good for an infant, that pattern seems rather overwhelming to me.

I made bedding for a friend of my daughter several years ago, they wanted coral and royal blue sheets with black/white zebra for dustruffle.quilt and bumper pads. Those colors looked so good together, they found a black panther lamp at GW, this bedding was used for a boy and later for a girl.
