A child's room is usually imagined in pink for a girl and blue for a boy, as if no other solutions exist.
In fact, the palette is wider and there are a lot of combinations, it’s just that moms and dads think in stereotypes and make banal mistakes.
Here are the most successful colors and options for combining several colors in one room.
Before you buy paint or wallpaper, you need to consider:
- gender of the child;
- his age;
- personal preferences and characteristics;
- the location of the nursery relative to the cardinal directions and the level of lighting;
- room dimensions;
- color of furniture.
Otherwise, there shouldn't be any problems.
White
It is considered a universal option for solving a pressing issue. The color has a beneficial effect on mood, in addition, it improves lighting and combines well with other colors.
Red
Activates the brain, improves mood, but in terms of rest and relaxation, this is the worst option. It is better to decorate accents in red - curtains, vases, table lamps, etc.
Orange
Promotes creativity and self-esteem, improves mood and appetite. Yellow is a bit similar to it, which, depending on the shade, improves attention and increases activity.
Green
Promotes relaxation. A person always feels safe in a green room. But this option is not suitable for slow and calm children; it is better to combine it with other colors.
Blue
It helps to relax, but at the same time does not allow to concentrate. It is better not to decorate the work desk area in this color - the child will be in the clouds.
Blue
It has a beneficial effect on the quality of sleep, relieves fatigue, but if everything is decorated in blue, it can drive a person into melancholy.
Violet
Suitable for creative people and dreamers, but this quality can be harmful. It is better to use light shades rather than deep ones.
Grey
It is boring and monotonous, but it is calming and inspires confidence. It can be combined with other colors.
Black
But this color is not recommended for a child's room. And if a teenager decides to add a couple of black elements to the interior, parents should take a closer look at his behavior.
