Help with Paint Color for my daughters' room

15 years ago

I've been trying to come up with a paint color for my daughters' bedroom but so far I haven't liked my choices. 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 and the other color on the other three walls. 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 by Friday. Thanks in advance. See pictures below:

Their bedroom. The double dresser under the window will be removed so the full length of the curtain will be visible.

Their bedding is the little mismatched marvelous dots with two sides to all the pieces. So, the two beddings in the picture are the two sides to the same bedding.

    Sorry, there are no pictures. I would suggest that, due to the fact the room is small, you may want to use light pastels like pale aqua and soft yellow or lavender.

    Thanks Yayagal. I'm not sure what happened with the photos as they were visible when I previewed it. I'll try again. Photoshoppers, your help will also be appreciated as I can't visualize colors unless I see it and don't know a lot of the colors by name. Thanks again.

    I'm not sure how else to post the pictures and I can see the pictures when I click on my post even without signing in. Can you try it again Kmcg85? Thanks

    No pics for me, either.

    Which program are you using to import the pics? Try tinypic. You don't have to sign up, etc. I usually use photobucket, but began having an problem posting only one picture, thus the change to tinypic.com.

    No pics for me,either, but I have some generic advice based on my own experience in choosing a color for my daughters' room.

    We went with a light, but bright and tropical, blue that I was worried would be too bright. But, the girls loved the intense color, and there has been a side-benefit of choosing blue that I had not considered--- the ability to accessorize with pink. By far, the most common color for accessories for girls (bedding, knick-knacks, posters, etc.) is pink. So, they have chosen many pink things to decorate with, like a rug, lamps, bedding, bean bag, and it looks lovely with the bright blue. It has made me very glad that we did not decide to paint the room pink (which was my original idea, nixed by my daughter who, at that time, HATED pink!). Accessories in pink would have been way too much in a pink-painted room. And, I really think it would have been more difficult to coordinate different shades of blue or purple for accessories than it has been to match varying shades of pink for the accessories in the room. Good luck!

    Finally! Thanks sherrmann. Do you have any shades or pictures or names of paints to look for. I'm very bad at colors and have to see it to know it.
