In your living room, kitchen, and master bedroom, you’ve selected color schemes that are on point and stylish. Maybe you even scoured through design magazines to learn all the design rules and make your spaces beautiful and comfortable. But there’s one room where the rules don’t apply—your child’s room. This space doesn’t have to follow grown-up conventions, but where do you start? How can you make this room as special as your child? Keep reading to find out!
Be Adventurous
The typical color parents seem to pick for a girl’s room is pink, while light blue is the most commonly chosen color for a boy’s room. Try something different! Go with turquoise, tangerine, lavender, or another more interesting color. Your child’s room is the perfect setting to have a little fun with color and express their unique personality. Or if you ultimately want pink or blue, you can still stay away from traditional shades. Make the space more visually interesting by going beyond the expected.
Involve Your Child
When it comes to creativity, your child is bound to have loads of ideas. Instead of choosing the paint colors yourself, make your child part of the decision process. After all, it’s their space, and they will spend more time there than anyone else. By involving them in selecting the color scheme, you allow them to express themselves and feel more ownership and autonomy. Who knows? It may even encourage them to take better care of their room!
Choose More Than One Color
While you’re throwing out the rules, you should also rethink the rules that a child’s room should have one main color. Perhaps your child loves a particular color combination—you can use multiple colors on the wall to match their creative vision. Whether you paint the walls one color and trim another, or the walls one color and the ceiling another, or multiple wall colors, there really are no limits, except your child’s imagination!
Integrate Décor Wisely
Regardless of what color ends up on the wall, you should try to find décor that complements your child’s age and style. The good thing about these accessories is that they can swapped out as your child gets older, helping the room evolve without necessarily having to undergo a paint change.
In the end, you want your child to feel truly at home in their room. By throwing out the rule book and following these tips, you can create a personalized space they love.
