What paint colour to choose for a child’s room?

While making a room for our kid, we are often influenced by a common custom and we tend to choose one colour out of the two from the colour palette – pink or blue. Meanwhile, it is not always beneficial for the sake of interior arrangement and comfortable performance of the young resident.

When working on colours, apart from standard accommodation of colour saturation to the size, shape, function and interior’s lighting, it’s also worth taking into consideration the child’s age, its character and interests.

Infants function better in bright rooms with gently saturated colours. Colours do not have to, and quite often should not, be vivid. Among strong colours the child might be anxious and disoriented. It’s better to use pastel shades, toned down by white, and place colourful elements such as decorations and toys within the sight. Thanks to the power of colour they can stimulate the toddler by attracting its attention. At this stage, it’s also essential so that the room colour matches the parents and carer’s expectations. More than anything else, the baby can sense tension and irritation of others. If, for example, the minder does stand blue colour, it’s better not to use it.

The older the child, the more vivid colours and combinations we can use. At nursery age, children like energetic colour combinations. Thanks to colours we can arrange the space of children’s games, improve an irregular shape of interiors and create a unique place. At this stage, it’s worth talking to the child and consult its interests. Making the room can be fun and a good pretext to have a conversation and a joint action. Such a jointly created and painted room can be a favourite place for the baby to stay in, regardless of its size and equipment. The child can reside there more willingly as well as play and sleep.

Colours of teenager’s room are selected individually and it’s very difficult to indicate the principle, according to which they ought to be combined. Our children’s choices change very quickly and the final decision is a result of compromise between their emotions and our common sense. It’s worth taking into consideration unusual or surprising proposals of youngsters, and treat them as an inspiration to create an interesting and remarkable room.

While choosing a colour for the child’s room, it’s necessary to consider its character and bear in mind the psychological influence of colours. For a very lively and energetic child, it’s better to plan a room in subdued,  calming and gentle colours (e.g. light blue, green). If, however, the kid requires stimulation, is shy and reserved, a suitable colour will contribute to some courage and self-confidence (e.g. orange, pink).
