When I was expecting my son, I wanted to develop a nursery-inspired colour range. While all of our Fusion Paint range is water-based, non-toxic. I undoubtedly wanted to prove the safety of these nursery inspiration paint colours to give peace of mind to those expecting by testing them against the Toy Safety Standards of North America. Read more here on our stringent safety testing.

Our Paint is lead-free, phlalate-free, formaldehyde-free, ammonia-free, and therefore virtually odourless.

I laboured over, ( no pun intended!) these 7 stunning soft pastel and gender-neutral colours for many many months until I was in love with each one. Choosing colours can be overwhelming as it is, never-mind the added stress (and joy!) of bringing a newborn into the world. I wanted choosing the colours to be easy. So, this range was created to be gender neutral as well, because I wanted to keep the gender of my baby a surprise, but of course, this makes the colour selections a little more difficult.

These colours aren’t just for tots

I particularly wanted a range of nursery colours that you could live with and love! These are sophisticated colours that remind me of when I travel around Europe and see the stunning Chateaus and their vintage soft pastel colours. The wonderful thing about this collection is that all of the colours work harmoniously together! Don’t they look delicious?!

We were able to achieve this without sacrificing the excellent coverage and built in top coat for the added durability that you and your loved ones will need! Each of the colours even has it’s own mascot and nursery rhyme to go along with it! Adorable!

Little Lamb

This is a hue that plays nicely with every colour in our collection, making it the perfect complimentary shade.

Isn’t this the cutest Little Lamb ever??!!  See the original blog post here for the photoshoot. 

This is the grounding neutral for all of our Tones for Tots colours, it pairs with all of them so well!

This great pop of colour is as vibrant as a summer day, and quickly becomes the centre of attention.

Therefore, use it on big pieces like dressers to paint on some zen.

Little Stork

Finally, the perfect warm shade of lavender! (No longer available) This gentle colour is just begging to revitalize your next DIY project. You’re going to love this basically match made in heaven of on-trend purple and light gray.
