Kids Bedroom Wall Color






Paint is the simplest and least expensive way to create an original and personal space for your child to enjoy. Kid's rooms are happy rooms. Decorating a kids room using an age-appropriate theme and favorite colors is a great way to create a memorable space for your child to call his or her own.

Children need to feel part of the family. By understanding their age level and their likes and dislikes, will help you in choosing the right colors for their room. If they are under age 5 it is probably best to choose a set of primary colors for them. 5 years and up should be old enough to help choose a color. 

Even if your child picks something you don't like, think over it and let them know how you feel and the reason why. If they understand let them decide and just do it. Believe me after they have to repaint a few times they will make sure they pick the right color. I say okay, if you paint it this color that I don't like you will have to paint the entire room yourself. And if you don't like it you will have to repaint the entire room yourself again. There is no sense arguing over a painting project.

Kid's bedrooms should be both a fun place as well as a place for kid's to relax and rest. Paint choices are various, and can make a huge impact on a room. Painting is in fact, the most affordable way to transform a room. 

Children change from year to year, so you might want to plan on re-painting every other year. Give the child something they can enjoy now, they are only young once!

Paint with bright colors, make sure the paint is washable and choose a fun, bright color. If the room is big, you can afford to go with a little darker shade if you want. If the room is small, it is best to stick to light and bright, reflective paints. Painting the ceiling a solid color other than white can be detrimental to room. Painting small designs or stars on the ceiling, however, will work in all rooms. Paint each wall a different color. Paint different colors on the top and bottom. 
To balance out the room, if you choose to paint with this design, paint the lighter color on top and the darker shade on the bottom. This is another way to paint the child's bedroom with two different colors, but has a little more "sophisticated" feel to the room.  Paint with geometrical designs. Another way to use more than one color is to paint the walls first with a solid color, and then paint geometrical shapes around the room. Large diamond shapes make nice wall designs, and with a contrasting color can make quite a statement! The best example of this I saw was in a girl's bedroom. The walls were a solid purple color, and a light green paint was used for the diamonds. The result was stunning, and everyone commented on it.
