Choosing colors for your kid's room



Decorating your kid’s room might be one of the most interesting projects that you take up. After all, kids do not stay of that age for long. So, selecting obnoxiously colored walls or really ‘kiddie’ looking décor need not be on your priority list. In fact keeping walls of a white color and adding interest with wall décor gives you a world of possibilities to explore. In fact, keeping walls white or grey could be a better option in some cases. This will keep you from repainting when they outgrow their Barbie pink and lime green phases of life.

When it comes to selecting colors to decorate your kid’s room, it’s more about what will you place there – things such as soft toys, books, stickers etc. If you place all these accessories in your kids room, selecting a white or subtle backdrop that can help highlight the accessories. These accessories usually come in bright – fun colors. Place them strategically so that it creates a childish interest in the room. Other things to consider are the wall décor, decals and color patterns that could be used in the room now, but also easily changed in the future when children outgrow them with age.

Here are a few ideas for neutral based kid’s rooms:

Bright books against a light – white color
Any kid’s room could come to life with bright books – set against a white or baby pink backdrop. Well, the books look prominent and you do not have to change much when the books are replaced as the kids grow. So, it’s definitely a good idea to use a neutral color for the kid’s room. If you have a bookshelf full of bright books!

Wallpaper
Wallpaper could be used creatively to complement a very neutral wall color. Remember that this could be changed with time. For kids, you could use bright colored diamonds, bunnies or bright flowers. Flowers or diamonds could add enough childish interest, yet look adult enough to last long – until your little girl grows older.

Scandinavian inspired decals
Decals could completely transform the look of the room Even with a white or neutral background, the right kind of decals. A few hearts or a few triangles could completely transform your kids room. If you have a white, black or wood color palette, the room remains youthful with a few cartoons and accent pieces.

Vibrant furniture and accessories
Vibrant furniture against a neutral background of white or subtly painted walls could give your kid’s room a distinct look. Further you can change the color of your pillows and other accessories when your kid is ready to move on!

Patterns
Using patterns can give your kids room a completely different look. Especially a girl’s room with pink patterns on pillows and curtains could be a great way to decorate it.

Turquoise or orange
Turquoise is a happy color and with a white backdrop it could give the room a truly happy look! Orange makes the room look full of life and cheer! Using neon could be a great way to add something different and interesting to the room.

The idea is to create a room that’s dreamy for a four year old – and one that can be easily changed when the kid grows into a young adult!
