Both are pretty. Moonbeam has the advantage in matching the bedding. And it will "grow up" with your daughter better and/or be gender neutral for a second baby and/or be appropriate for a future guest bedroom, office, etc.

If your only hesitation is the lack of colour, fear not. Before you know it this room will be overrun with Baby's super bright and colourful clothes, toys, etc. Hang a banner or art on the wall where Baby can see it easily and you're set!

Eta: not that boys can't sleep in or enjoy a pink bedroom! I just think grey is more universally appealing :)

Trust ur wife.. :)

Go neutral. My 3 year old just told me she doesn’t like any of the art that I hung on her walls. It won’t be long until your precious baby has an opinion.

Such a beautiful nursery!!! I'd definitely go with the neutral unless you love lilac... The moonbeam is such a lovely color and can really lift any thing in the room while still being the feature!! It also compliments the crib and the ivory well.

Please do share final pics... this will looks great!!

In five years you'll be back asking how to remove it! are you doing the entire room? how about just doing one wall? it will make it so much easier to transition from baby to little girl. Or, pick a wall paper that spans that bridge.

stunning

Thank you all for your comments. My wife will be happy to know most people agree with her!

Regarding transitioning to a big girl’s room, we’re not too concerned about that. We want something that works perfectly for a nursery and go wel with the furniture, bedding, etc.

We have a 5 year old and she got to pick her furniture, paint color, etc. when we redid her room last year. We’ll do the same for the baby.

I agree that the lilac seems to blend better with the bedding and I like that little bit of color interest.
