Decorating Tips for Childrens rooms

Vibrant and playful colours work well in any child's room.

Get your child's input from the first step, find out what their favourite colour is and tone it down a bit.

If you have already chosen a theme, this will influence the colour you choose.

Do not be afraid to be bold

Always paint children's bedrooms with a semi-gloss, so the walls are easy to wipe without being too shiny.

Think storage - toy boxes, wall shelves, trundle bed, end of bed box, coat rack

Throw a soft rug on the floor for 'sit and play' time
