8 Paint Colors for a Kid Room Renovation

Kids’ rooms are particularly hard to handle. As your child grows, their style and personality change. Their room color should reflect that. Take some time to give the room a stylish makeover. Here are 8 paint colors for a kid room renovation.

Lavender

A sweet purple can be stylish with a few extra elements to kick it up a notch. The color is girly, while still feeling a bit more grown up. Add some trendy accent pillows or bold bedding to add style points.

Middle Pink

Have a little girl that is more spice than sugar? Get a pink that is deeper than pastel but lighter than magenta. Add some gold additions with white furniture and you’ll have a high contrast and high style room fit for a burgeoning teen. It’s grown up without being bland. Go for a white ceiling and trim to keep the brighter walls muted and appropriate for sleep.

Seafaring Blue

Nautical chic comes inside in a bedroom with blue walls and an undertone of green. Use nautical flags to add in additional colors and style. If you really want to up the vintage feel, use a gingham print on additional furniture or bedding. If the room has exposed wood, treat it, rather than paint. It will only add to your sailboat feel.

Keep Nature in Check

In a room that boasts plants, natural materials and earth tone accessories, keep them cosmopolitan by going with a gray on the walls. It will go with all of your natural tones and allow for a few pops of colors to interject energy. Try a few reds and yellows to create the final feeling of energized relaxation.

Animal House

Many new parents choose an animal themed nursery for their new little bundle of joy. With so many prints and colors already included in the room, it’s a good idea to choose a serene, pale green for the walls. This will provide dimension while letting the animals be the stars of the room. It’s also said that green promotes calmness, and every newborn could benefit from that.

Growing Up

Looking to paint a room for you toddler that can grow with them? A pale robin’s egg blue adds a nice neutral background to change out furniture as your child grows. It’s timeless and genderless (for when little brother or sister comes along). Use your furnishings to create color in the space. A blue bookcase or a red racecar bed can look perfect with this neutral but not bland backdrop.

Try a Texture

Walls can be even the most empty of colors if they are treated with a texture first. Think of putting up items like grass cloth first, then painting a just off white. It creates subtle tones within the pattern of the textures. You’ll have a room that’s good for nearly any inhabitant, while still being stylish and fun.
