Choosing a paint scheme for a child’s room can be a lot of fun because spaces for children allow for more artistic expression. If your children are adventurous and enthusiastic, relaxed and soft or a combination of the two, explore their personality and find the perfect paint scheme for their quarters.

Things to Consider

Painting is terrible pain. You have to push all your furniture and label all the moldings, and then, you have to experience the God-waiting scent for days. Yeah, before you want to paint your kiddos room, you want to make sure they are not going to outgrow it, like, tomorrow. Those tones are foolproof colors that will carry them from their terrible twos until their far more horrible teens.

Your Child’s Opinion

When your child is mature enough to have a view, make sure to involve him or her in the design process. Liz Carroll, a designer from Liz Carroll Interiors, says that children as young as two have an opinion, so ask your child what favorite color he wants to introduce to space.

Regarding nurseries, think mostly on the experience that you like to create in the space as you invest hours and hours in the room. Designer Sherri Blum of Jack and Jill Interiors says space will represent your style because the kid wants a comfortable, pleasant place. Space needs to feel unique for both parents and babies.

The Future

Kids are growing fast, and their tastes are changing even faster, so Carroll suggests choosing a scheme that has some longevity to it, “Kids are growing up so fast, and nurseries are becoming big boys or girls’ rooms before you know it. It is nice to have a color scheme that will change with your child so that they can grow up in the room, rather than having to do it again after a couple of years.”

Designers often advise keeping to more subtle colors. The solution: paint a neutral hue on three walls to provide a focal wall that gives an excellent choice of color. The advantage of this choice is that when you or your child are ready to make a shift, you need to redo one wall.

Consider the Rest of the House

Not only does the paint scheme for your child’s space suit their personality, but it also needs to align with the design of your house. Designers typically want you to question yourself if it is in the theme of your home? For starters, if your home is conventional and your girl wants a pink room, consider a more subdued shade of pink. This is stronger than a heavily lit, contemporary tone.

Picking the Color Scheme

The most enjoyable aspect, and typically the kick-off point for a child’s room design, is choosing the specific paint scheme. We asked designers to share their favorite tried-and-tested paint combos to get you going.

Beige

Traditional sand color is soft enough to function for many years and can serve as a base, such that specifics can alter when a child starts to develop his or her unique style.

You don’t necessarily have to paint your kid’s room; you can add colors with beautiful tiles. Such is the collection of TileClub’s Beige Tile Collection.

Cerulean Blue

Baby blue is exactly for babies. Start for a deeper, more vibrant hue of blue to enjoy the space right though they reach the point when you are not allowed inside. 

Yellow 

If their space is warm and happy, they would feel more energized to do their assignments.

Eggshell

Plain white may feel a little high, so spice up the room with a shade of eggshell. This way, you are always in a fair environment, so you can bring color to the furniture so accent parts.

Chalkboard

Babies are going to draw all over the walls regardless, and you might just as well tolerate it. Only get set to ask all their mates to come over to the regs.

Aqua

That hue of blue may be the most flexible paint ever, since it fits nearly everything, from coral to purple, to orange, to black.

Pale Green

The strength of this color helps space seem more significant than it is and rich in natural light, even if the window is relatively low.

Lilac

If dolls and finger paints are put up, this specific hue of purple will potentially seem elegant, and she (or he) does not choose to color the space the second time they reach junior high. It is a pure purple color, with no signs of blue or white,

Sky Blue

This more toned-down blue offers the space a calming feeling assuming they can finally fall asleep in their bedtime.
