1. Navy

Make the colors in their room pop with a classic hue like navy blue. Since this color is rich and deep, complement it with cool, neutral tones. Grays, light blues and accents of white keep the space from feeling too dreary. 

2. Powder Blue

A lighter take on a classic shade, powder blue can fit in with any theme. You can paint the entire room and then coordinate light blue accents in the furniture, bedding and decor to complete the look.

3. Forest Green

Green is a great gender neutral room color. It will give your child’s room a bright, airy feel and play up the natural light coming through the windows. If you don’t want to commit to a fully green room, try balancing it with white wainscoting.

4. Black and White

A black and white color scheme is an elegant way to go for your nursery or kid’s room. Plus, as they grow older, the color scheme can evolve with them and their interests.

5. Bright White

You can never go wrong with a crisp, clean white. It’s a great choice for those working in a small room because it reflects lots of light. To make the space look and feel bigger, opt for white walls with plenty of mirrors.

6. Beige

Beige pairs with virtually any color and fits most themes. This is a great option if you’re looking for a neutral background, whether you’re designing a princess-themed room or your child loves animals.

7. Lavender

A calming shade of lavender will make your child feel like royalty, especially when paired with classic features like an armoire. Dress up the space with a canopy, star wall decals and sparkly light fixtures to complete the look. 

8. Pastel Pink

A popular pastel shade, baby pink is a lovely option that won’t overpower the room. Try using it as a statement wall behind a canopy bed — the tall headboard and posts draw the eye upward, minimizing the need for wall art. 

9. Floral Wallpaper

A neutral floral wallpaper exudes understated elegance. Choose an accent color or two to use for your kids’ bedding and accessories. Using two main colors, like pink and gray, doesn’t have to be limiting. Have fun with textures and other small accessories to create an inviting space. 

10. Teal

Teal is a bold statement color that can bring an extra pop to your kid’s room. Pair with white furniture and bedding, and accent with light blue or green hues in the rug and window treatments. This color combination is a winning option for a coed space.

11. Soothing Gray

Similar to off-white, soothing gray is incredibly convenient for any room — not just for kids’ rooms — which makes it perfect for spaces that are frequently changed. Plus, this hue can be easily coordinated with many other shades, so you won’t have to worry about any clashing colors.

12. Black

This bold wall color can make the space pop. However, black has a tendency to make a room look and feel smaller, so it's best for rooms that are big and have plenty of natural light. Try using it on a single wall or only painting half the wall black.

13. Chambray

This is a great option for those who are ready to try something new, but not ready to go bold with patterned wallpaper. Use chambray wallpaper to accent one wall and paint the rest white for a modern look.

14. Shiplap

White shiplap panelling provides a rustic touch in kids’ playrooms or bedrooms. Like other neutral wall colors, it pairs well with virtually any decor. For those who want a natural-looking wall option, this is the look for you.

15. Chalkboard Paint

A chalkboard is the hallmark of childhood creativity for many. Chalkboard wallpaper or paint is an easy way to bring out your child’s inner artist, and make drawing on the walls perfectly acceptable. 

16. Brushstroke Wall Decal

Have fun with these brushstroke wall decals, which stick on your walls and can be easily removed as your child’s style evolves. If you choose to decorate the walls with these decals, pair them with neutral furniture and accessories to balance the space. 

17. Wood Wall

A dynamic wood wall can add a creative touch to a child’s playroom or bedroom. Bonus: Install it over bold wallpaper or add a monogram of their name on the wall.

18. Wave Wall Decal

A bold wall decal can create a statement accent wall. This is an easy way to style your kid’s room as you can leave the other walls neutral and let this single wall shine. 

19. Two-toned

Why choose just one color when you can choose two? Pair a bold color, like this deep blue, with a neutral for a balanced space.

20. Stripes

Last but not least, a striped wall can support many different themes, from nautical to automotive. Vertical stripes make the room look taller, so they’re especially good for a small space.

Whether you opt for bold, printed wallpaper or a classic, muted off-white, your child is sure to be excited about their new space. Be sure to pair their new color scheme with the perfect bedroom furniture for sweet dreams.
