Best kids room paint colors
If you've added “paint my kids' bedrooms” to your to-do list, then you'll want to take a look at this list of the best kids' room paint colors.
As your children grow, their favorite color will inevitably change, so the best colors are those that offer a bit of longevity and versatility. It’s always easier to change the linens and decor in a room than to repaint a room, so make sure the paint and color you choose will last.
Seven of the best kids room paint colors
1. Navy blue
One of the easiest colors to choose for your child’s bedroom is navy blue. This goes for boys and girls. Remember that you can always accent other colors in your furniture, bedding, and decor. Blue is a very versatile color, so it can work with almost any color, which is important because you don’t want to create a sad environment. Psychologically speaking, blue is a safe, calm color and is effective in creating a calming environment.
2. Blackboard Black
If your kids are going to draw on the wall, you could give them a chalkboard to do it on. Chalkboard paint has become very popular, especially for kids. You don’t have to paint the entire room, as it can be a bit overwhelming. Maybe just paint a section of the bedroom and contrast it with another color – any will do.
3. Green
Green is another cool, calming color that will make any child’s room feel fresh and free. Interestingly, green is supposed to improve reading ability and comprehension, which probably explains why so many school blackboards are green. Green is also the color of nature, and this inspires creativity.
4. White
One of the best nursery colors is white. The biggest advantage is that it can grow with your child. All you need to do to make it less boring is add some splashes of color in the form of wall decals, wallpaper, linens, décor, accent pieces, or even paint (it’s easy to paint over). White is a blank canvas, so it gives your kids the flexibility to be creative and make their room their own.
5. Orange
Orange is a happy and fun colour for children’s bedrooms and is known to encourage (creativity, communication, cooperation and trust). It is a warm, inviting colour, but don’t use too much as it can be a bit overwhelming.
6. Gri
Gray is another versatile color and can last from birth to adolescence. It is a soft, calm color that creates a sense of relaxation and reflection. There are many colors that work well with gray, such as pink (for a girl), yellow, and white.
7. Horns
The best of the best nursery colors for a girl is of course pink. If you choose the right shade of pink, it can last from baby to teenager. For example, light pink is a classic. Pink creates an atmosphere of love, but don't overdo it because too much pink can cause headaches.
