Features of white color and the choice of a suitable shade
White is the color of peace and rest for anxious children.
White has several special features that distinguish it from other colors:
- Neutrality. It is combined with all the colors in general, they also determine exactly how the interior will look. Mix it with pastel colors - peach, lemon, delicategreen - and get a calm harmonious room, which has to relax. Add bright colors to it - red, orange, canary, saturated blue - and get the impression of a drive, the beauty of awakening and tuning in a cheerful way.
- Reflective properties. It reflects and refracts light in such a way that the room appears lighter and larger. This is especially useful in small apartments, where only a small area could be allocated for the nursery.
- Ease. It balances other colors. In combination with it, even the most flashy or darkest shades begin to look more peaceful. Its combination with black will give severity, not gloom. His combination with scarlet will give the drive, not the nervousness.
With this color, the room seems bigger and lighter.
In general, it is a very nice color that is easy to work with. The first step in this work is to choose a shade of white that fits a specific room:
- If there is little light in the room, its windows face north and there is almost no sun in it, the shade should be warm, otherwise it will seem cold and uncomfortable.
- If there is a lot of light in the room, its windows face south and there is a lot of sun in it, you can use cold shades, it will not be cold anyway.
Decorating a white children's room is not only easy, but also very interesting.
Matches well with any color.
To make sure that the shade is chosen correctly, you can paint a long paper tape in it (for example, a piece of old unnecessary wallpaper), hang it on the wall for a whole day and see how the color changes depending on the time. Then take another shade and hang the ribbon painted on it the next day.
Usually such a visual demonstration is very helpful.

White color is capricious - it is easy to get dirty, it needs constant care. Therefore, it is better to choose practical materials for finishing, which will then be easy to handle:
- on the floor laminate or linoleum - both are easy to wash, and the one and the other does not absorb odors and liquid, is not sensitive to aggressive chemistry;
- paint or coat walls washable wallpaper - both that and the other will be easy to clean up later, even if the child decides to express himself creatively and draw on them;
- ceiling to paint or to do the tension - and that, and the other does not absorb odors, easy to clean, does not suffer from moisture and serves for a long time.
Most often the walls in children's rooms are painted
Colored elements are designed to dilute the sterility of white, make it more fun and interesting. They, in fact, set the basic tone.
Dilute white sterility with bright elements
They may be as follows:
- Stickers. Large, colorful, depicting flowers, birds, favorite characters. They can replace the painting and easily peel off when they get bored.
- Posters or pictures. With flowers, with abstract patterns, with musical groups and anything else. They will give liveliness and brightness and they are easy to remove.
- Color wall or two walls. Attract attention to themselves, completely change the perception of the room. Color can be not uniform, but with patterns or abstract modulations. Or it can be a painting depicting a diagram from a book.
- Colored ceiling. An interesting, non-standard solution. You can not just paint it, and put the picture - the sky, intertwining leaves, the sun, the moon, the stars and anything else.
- Chalky wallpaper or slate paint. They can have any color, and you can draw on them - a great solution for a small child’s room.
- Color carpet on the floor. Not only accent, but also give comfort. It will be nice to play, read books and even sleep.
- Colored furniture. It is also a non-standard solution, which allows, together with the change of the kit, to completely change the appearance of the room.
Colorful carpet on the floor - a bright accent for any room

At different periods in the life of a child, the colored elements may be different, carry a different message, and there may be a different number of them.
The main thing is guided by the age of the child.
Baby room
In the room of the baby, who still does not even go to the kindergarten, warm shades of white, diluted with pastel, soft colors are appropriate. It can be:
- pink;
- peach;
- pale lilac;
- soft blue.
Nursery in white can be decorated with shelves or shelves
They can stain:
- patterns on the bed;
- canopy over the cot, if any;
- carpet on the floor, without which you just can not do, because the child needs somewhere to learn to crawl, and then walk;
- patterns and pictures on the walls - they should like their parents for the time being, because the child is too small to express their opinion.
Not everyone prefers a canopy on the bed
Toys can act as bright spots. A wardrobe with them can be distinguished and accentuated, or you can curtain with the curtain of the same delicate color, which is chosen in addition to the white one.
Big bright accents will be out of place.

Gentle pastel colors for the little boy's room
Colors can be left pastel, and you can choose brighter. Be sure to select zones - one for sleeping, the other for games, and separate them with colors.

- cover on the bed, which can also be made in color;
- a small night light that will save a child from the fear of darkness and accent simultaneously;
- minimum of things and minimum of furniture.
A great option - a minimum of things and furniture
In the play area:
- bright colors that tune in to fun and activity;
- locker with toys, where they are placed or laid out;
- a soft carpet on which you can sit down or lie down when you read a book, collect a puzzle, play with typewriters or build from a designer;
- pictures, paintings or posters on the walls depicting your favorite characters.
Divide the room into zones
In the play area, you can make a small piece of the slate wall so that the child can draw. Or put a table on which it is convenient to sculpt and make crafts.
It is necessary to choose colors that will be combined - either they will be related, or they will be different shades of the same color (rich blue in the playing area, delicate blue in the bedroom) or will be contrasted.
