DH painted mine white - - though I hinted for just a "hint" of cream color to the white - but by time I have fabrics and toys put up, you can't see that much of the walls. I do have a soft floral, almost see through type fabric up to the sides of the window for color in a draw back fashion - don't want to inhibit a bit of the light I can get through the window, and I have fairly large mirrors that help bounce the light around. It is quite cheerful - and I use "daylight" bulbs.
