We’ve officially entered into the Year of the Dragon. Many Eastern cultures consider this to be an extremely exciting time as the mythical dragon is associated with luck, prosperity, and fortune. Because of this, there’s usually an increase in birth rate in Asian countries when the year of the Dragon rolls around. The Philippines is no exception, given that our country is a melting pot of different cultures, including our Filipino-Chinese or “Fil-Chi” community.
Babies born under the year of the Dragon are considered to be lucky and destined for greatness, among many other positive adjectives associated with this particular zodiac animal. Are you one of the many couples who are hoping to have a baby born within the year of the Dragon? If you are, here are some nursery color recommendations based on the Dragon’s lucky hue for 2024.
The Best Nursery Color for “Dragon Babies”
Did you know that there are elements within the Chinese Zodiac? Depending on the particular year you were born in, you can fall under any of the following elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. The dragons of 2024 are associated with the wood element. So, it does make a lot of sense that the best nursery color for Dragon babies is an organic hue, like green!
B-7450 Flora
The color green is typically associated with nature, health, growth, and balance. Choose an earthy green hue like Flora which comes in the Healthy Home base. Healthy Home is a water-based interior paint that is low-odor and low-VOC. Aside from these, it’s also formulated to be antibacterial. It provides an extra layer of defense against harmful bacteria such as Salmonella and E. Coli. Healthy Home can be a good choice for nurseries and bedrooms where you’ll be spending a ton of time in with your Dragon baby.
V-38B Garden Stroil
The first few months after childbirth is exhilarating. But, at the same time, it can get quite exhausting, especially for mom and dad! Create a nursery that is soothing, calming, and oh so relaxing. Here, we’re featuring the cool-toned green of Garden Stroil. This hue is available in the Virtuoso Silk Touch base. Virtuoso Silk Touch is another water-based interior paint that is also low-odor, low-VOC, and antibacterial. What sets it apart from our other paints is that it’s also formulated with an easy clean technology. This makes accidental messes on painted walls a breeze to clean up. One less thing to think about!
More Nursery Colors to Try
Just because feng shui masters said that green is the “it” color for 2024 doesn’t necessarily that it’s the only color to try. Check out our other recommended palettes in the article down below.
