Painting Tips for the Kids’ Room: How to create a Happy Living Space for your Children?

A child has a special way of adding joy to everyday life.

Your children are an important part of your soul and life. If you want to do something for them, you can start with painting their room. Remember that beautifying a kids’ room doesn’t mean painting the walls with blue or pink colors. It involves creating a happy living space for your children after considering their preferences and your budget. You must consider a few things before embarking on the journey of adding colors to the kids’ room.

One Room; Many Functions

A kids’ room is much more than a bedroom. Your children will spend a large amount of time in their room playing as well as studying. So, whenever you think of undertaking a painting job for the kids’ room, it is essential to keep in mind the multiple functions of the room. Choose colors and patterns in such a way that it offers comfort to your loved ones for years to come.

Your Children: Your Inspiration

A boy’s room doesn’t have to be blue. You can select various colors such as beige, gray, orange, green, etc. When it comes to choosing the base color for the kids’ room, ask your children. You can take inspiration from their preferences. For example, if your daughter loves the movie "The Lion King", you can incorporate the shades of the forest in the room. You can paint her favorite characters on the wall and customize her room efficiently. If your son loves to draw, you can use blackboard paint and create a play area for him. Alternatively, you can create a sports theme if you have a sports fan in your home.

Changing Needs of your Children

Children grow quickly. And, their needs change rapidly. So, do not make painting decision by considering their current needs only. Instead, focus on their future requirements as well. One way of a cost-effective painting job is a feature wall. If your children love boats and ships, you can develop a nautical theme for the feature wall. And, once your children outgrow their admiration for the theme, you can repaint the feature wall without spending money on other walls of the room.

Choose many; not One

A kids’ room should never be dull and boring. Choosing a single color for the entire room makes it insipid and lifeless. Instead, focus on creating a living space that is filled with different colors. Choose a color palette of three different colors - one color for the walls and the other two for molding and accents. You can add texture to the walls and make it lively. Also, do not forget to experiment different color palettes with the help of wallpapers, decals, wall-hangings, bedspreads, furniture, etc.

Choose Paints suitable for Children

If you have hired a painting contractor to do the painting job for you, make sure that he uses paints free from volatile organic compounds (VOC). Using eco-friendly paints will not affect the health of your children and give you peace of mind. If any of your children have allergies, it is vital for you to choose zero VOC paints or milk-based paints. It is because they will not release odor and keep your children safe from problems such as headache, nausea, difficulty in breathing, etc.

Also, do not forget to opt for low maintenance paints such as semi-gloss paints or satin paints. Choosing a stain-resistant paint will help you to clean fingerprints, crayon doodles, ink stains, food splatters, etc. from the walls easily.

When it comes to painting a kids’ room, remember that it should reflect your children’s personalities and choices. So, spend time with your children in making painting decisions and create a happy, practical and comfortable living space for your little ones.
