Thinking about painting your kiddo’s room soon? Awesome! It’s not just about slapping on some paint on the walls and calling it a day; it’s about creating a space where they can freely play, dream, and grow. Let’s dive into how you can pick the perfect color to make their room a cozy haven filled with joy and creativity.
Colors have a superpower
Yes, they do! Colors can have a definite effect on how we feel in a space. Here’s a quick rundown of what different colors can do.
Blues
Blue is the color of calm seas and clear skies. Choose blues like Eureka Moment or Daydream if you’re aiming for a relaxing vibe for your child’s room. They’re perfect for bedtime stories and quiet playtime.
Pinks
Think pink for a room that’s all about love and sweetness. Despite its calming qualities, pink also carries a playful energy that can encourage creativity and imagination. Try out the delightful pink hue of Camp Pink.
Yellows
Like sunshine on a rainy day, yellows can bring warmth and cheer to any space—especially your child’s room! A sunny yellow hue like Fearless is a good choice for a playroom where your child’s creativity can soar.
Greens
Painting a room green is like bringing the outdoors in, creating a sense of peace and harmony that’s great for play and relaxation alike. Choose a calming but bright pastel hue like Lost in Thought.
Purples
Purple is the color of magic and mystery, it can spark your child’s imagination and sense of wonder. It’s like stepping into a fairy tale every time they walk through the door. Use the playful purple hue of Vibe is Alive.
Choosing the Right One
Now that you know the vibe that each hue can bring, let’s talk about how to pick the perfect hue for your child’s room. First of all, get your kiddos involved! Ask them about their favorite colors and let their imagination run wild. It is their room, after all. Don’t be afraid to mix and match different colors as well. Create a room that’s as unique as your child. You can also make it extra playful by trying your hand at some hand-paint murals or designs.
But before you go ahead and buy several gallons of paint, it’s best to try out different colors on small patches on the wall first. This can help you see how different paint colors can look in various types of lighting to make sure you’re happy with your choice.
