What colors should we paint the babies' room?
My husband and I are expecting twin girls in two months. It's really exciting and it will be our first children. We already purchased our new family home and are really excited to get to working on it.
We're not sure what colors we should paint the baby room though. I heard that bright colors stimulated a child's mind and may later enhance their creativity. I figured we should color the nursery room fun, bright colors then. We're just not sure what colors. They're girls so I was thinking pink (or various shades of pink) but I'm not sure if that's too plain-jane.
What do you think? What are the best colors to paint a child's room in?

I've heard before light yellow stimulates a child's mind. It also lets you stray away from the norm of pink, which, as you said, can be a bit plain-jane. Furthermore, if one of your daughters ends up being a "tom-boy" she would be unhappy with pink. When my brother and I shared a room, it was yellow and we turned out to be the best people to ever exist. Yellow is also the color of the sun. If you somehow have plants instead of children, they may be able to perform photosynthesis!
In conclusion, I'd go with yellow. Light green is another option. I'd stray away from a color too gender neutral, in case in their latter years they tend to be less girly.

Congratulations! Is the furniture painted or wood stained? I saw a beautiful nursery - it was a magical scene on the walls with the greens of nature - trees etc and a light blue sky (someone was artistic) with flowers along the base - you can bring in several colors with faux and even do a mural on one wall (they are pretty cheap - look online for wall murals). The scene was great for girls or boys (future).
As for stimulating the child's mind - my advice on that is make sure they can sleep in their room! Stimulate them during the day with music, toys, talking to them, day trips, and reading to them.
Best of luck on this extremely exciting time in your life. TAKE LOTS OF PICS! It goes ridiculously fast.

I would try baby pink or baby green. Light yellow also works.
Get some swatches from a paint store & go over colors with your husband. I'm sure you'll find something that you can both agree on. Congratulations on your twins & a new home. :) Good luck!

AHHHHHHHH HOW EXCITING!!!im soo excited for youuuuu!!k i really think you should go for pink and maybe yellow? yellow and aqua (greeny blue) are both nuetral colours and can be used for any baby room not matter what the sex of your child is. you could paint it pink with yellow doors and yellow frames, that is if you have wall frames...my room is a greeny aqua colour with pink doors and pink wall frames (the frame that seperates the ceiling from the walls)
and yes you are right bright colours stimulate the baby's brain as well as helps with eye sight.
are you creative?why dont you paint flowers on the corners of the walls or cartoon characters or soemthing...this could be just me getting carried away i love babies!congrats!!!!!!
