Case Study: Kids’ Bedroom Color Transformation in Ada, MI
CertaPro Painters® of Grand Rapids
Bringing Fun and Personalized Color to Children’s Bedrooms
In early 2025, CertaPro Painters® of Grand Rapids helped a family in Ada, Michigan, refresh the color in several of their home’s rooms, with a special focus on the children’s bedrooms. The goal was to create vibrant, personalized spaces that reflected the kids’ personalities while providing a cohesive look for the home. Our team worked closely with the family to select Sherwin-Williams colors that would bring each room to life: the son’s bedroom walls were painted Dust Blue (SW 9161) with a bold Real Red (SW 6868) accent wall, while the daughter’s room was transformed from a strong blue to Light-Hearted Pink (SW 6568).
Every wall was carefully prepped, painted, and finished to ensure a smooth, professional result. The children were thrilled with their new rooms, and the homeowners were delighted with the quality and precision of the work. The project demonstrates how thoughtful color choices combined with professional painting can completely transform a space and bring joy to a family’s home.
