Nursery struggles

11 years ago
Having our second baby boy, and I'm set on a navy, orange, and slightly gray nursery. Our spare bedroom (now turning nursery) has a large maple tree shading the room, which I didn't realize the extent until I put color samples on the wall. We had plan to keep the white wainscoting and add a dark blue to the upper portion of the wall. We have a white crib, light colored glider, and planned to do light colored and/or small orange accents to the wall along with a gray rug. Also, using Land of Nod orange arrow sheets and changing pad. I'm so torn now with the paint. With the lack of natural light coming in, I'm worried putting a dark color on the top portion of the wall will be too dark. We, of course, will have lamps and probably install a ceiling fan/light, so there will be light...but is it enough? Does anyone have any ideas or alternative suggestions for my paint dilemma? I originally wanted to use BM Van Deusen Blue (left in picture) but was also considering BM Prussian Blue (right in picture). Do you like one over the other? An entirely different color? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! PS - the picture of the room was taken around 7pm with no lamps, just what natural light came in.
