Lavender
If you’re aiming for a color that feels both peaceful and playful, lavender is a great choice for a child’s room. It brings a sense of calm without feeling flat, while still adding a touch of fun that isn’t overpowering. For a light and airy look, try Sherwin-Williams Lite Lavender (SW 6554), it's a soft, gentle shade that creates a soothing atmosphere. Prefer something a bit more lively? Sherwin-Williams Lavish Lavender (SE 6975) offers a brighter, bolder twist that still keeps the charm of this classic color.
Seafaring Blue
Blue is a versatile and uplifting color that can give your child’s room a fresh, coastal charm. Light shades add a cheerful and breezy feel which is perfect for brightening up the space and creating a calm, ocean-inspired atmosphere. For a soft and airy touch, consider Sherwin-Williams Mild Blue (SW 6533). Looking for a more laid-back, beachy tone? Languid Blue (SW 6226) brings gentle seaside vibes. If you’d like to make a bold impression, go for Sherwin-Williams Naval (SW 6244), it's a rich, deep blue that adds dramatic flair with a classic, water inspired twist.
Pink
Pink continues to be a favorite choice for many girls’ rooms, thanks to its versatility and charm. If you're looking to create a bold, energetic space, opt for brighter hues that really stand out. Shades like Sherwin-Williams Dragon Fruit (SW 6855), Exuberant Pink (SW 6840), and Cherries Jubilee (SW 6862) add a lively, playful touch that brings personality and flair to any room.
Best Paint Options for Kids’ Rooms
Children’s spaces tend to experience more activity and messes than other areas of the home, so it’s important to choose paint that can stand up to daily use while keeping your child’s environment safe and easy to maintain. Here are two key factors to consider:
• High-Durability Finishes: Kids can be tough on walls. Between fingerprints, scuff marks, and the occasional crayon masterpiece, the right finish makes a big difference. Opt for an eggshell finish or glossier, as these are more resistant to wear and much easier to wipe clean than flat or matte paints, which often highlight smudges and surface imperfections.
• Low or Zero VOC Paints: To help maintain healthy indoor air quality, select low-VOC or zero-VOC paint formulas. Unlike traditional paints that release potentially harmful fumes (volatile organic compounds), these safer options minimize odors and reduce exposure to chemicals, making them ideal for kids’ bedrooms and play areas during and right after painting.
