Daughters' Bedroom Needs Your Help

16 years ago

I need to pick a color or colors for my daughters' bedroom but so far my creative juices have not been flowing. Their bedding is little mismatched marvelous dots and their wall is the same color as our master bedroom which is not suitable for kids. I'll like to paint the room in two colors either two walls for each color or an accent color on one wall or two colors on each wall. It's a pretty small room about 10 X 8. Any other ideas on decorating small spaces shared by two girls 4 and 2 would be appreciated. I need to have their room painted ASAP. Thanks in advance. In the interest of full disclosure, I'm somewhat color blind so would need to see the color to know what color it is. Thanks again. See pictures below: Hope you can see the pictures. I posted on the home decorating forum and it took 3 attempts for the pictures to show.

If this room was in my house, I'd be looking for a bright Tiffany blue. What a fun decorating scheme. Your daughter's must be thrilled.

I vote for Aqua blue for the walls.

The room has a lot of potential. Consider trying a new furniture arrangement. Right now the dresser is blocking the door preventing full use of the closet. The dresser is also blocking the lovely new curtains so that they don't add as much impact to the room as they could.

While you have the paint brushes out maybe paint the dresser either white like in your inspiration photo or maybe another bright color taken from the curtains. The finish on the dresser has some damage to it so by painting it, you won't be "ruining" it.

I hope we can see the finished 'tada' photos.

Thank you all for your suggestions. Dilly dally, the double dresser will be taken out and the room will have a full bed and a nightstand on that wall. Hopefully, the curtain will show more. Unfortunately, the room is quite small and furniture arrangement is a challenge. DH absolutely refuses having a twin bunk bed in the room for fear that the 2 yr old will fall out of the top bunk. (She's a climber). We couldn't fit two twin beds in the room so it's going to be full size bed that they can both share. Their furniture is cherry wood. Thanks again.
