Painting a child’s bedroom can be a fun project for the family. You want to create a space where your little one feels at home—after all, it’s the only corner of the world that is just theirs. There are both creative and practical elements to consider when it comes to interior painting for kids. Below, find out what every parent should know about painting their child’s room.

Artistic Aspects 

Create a room that can soothe your child to sleep at night. Avoid bright tones and focus on softer hues. Consider pastels or a simple off-white shade. For something bolder, consider cool blues or muted yellows, which still give a splash of fun color.

After choosing a base coat, you can add more personalized touches. Preparing a nursery for a new baby? Incorporate floral accents. Have a toddler who needs more personalized walls? Create a mural featuring their favorite cartoon characters. 

Practical Considerations

Interior painting for kids isn’t just about design. When kids’ creative juices get flowing, anything can become a canvas–including their bedroom walls. You want materials that can withstand this abuse.

Water-based latex and oil-based enamel are commonly used for interior painting. Glossy, high-sheen finishes tend to be easier to scrub clean of crayon, paint, and marker. Some paints even include Teflon®, which helps keep sneaker scuffs and other marks from becoming permanent installations on the wall.

Another solution for rooms: A busy pattern with unique textures, like those created with sponge painting. This easily masks any additions kids may make themselves. A professional painter can create the ideal look based on your preferences and needs.
