It’s no surprise that children’s imaginations are stimulated most when surrounded by vibrant, energetic colours. But children grow up fast, so choose a colour scheme that you and your child can adapt over the years. For a decorating scheme that will grow with your child, choose peaceful neutrals for the walls, like a shade of soothing grey-green or a warm stone.

A neutral base gives your child endless opportunities to play with colour. Paint one feature wall with a lively colour or encourage fun with wallpaper, stencils or a special wall just for their artwork. Let them help you with the decoration process. After all, while paint is an easy way to create a fun and fantastic child’s bedroom, it’s also the perfect way to introduce your children to the power of colour.
