Bright colours for a childrens room


Kids' Corner from Your Home and Garden magazine

Kids’ rooms are the perfect place to get creative with colour! Brighten up a girls’ room with this dotty take on colour blocking

The key to creating a coordinated room is to pick one idea and follow it through. A polka dot duvet was the starting point for this look. Its colour palette dictated the colour used on the walls and accessories. Resene Smitten was the perfect fit and Resene Such Fun was ideal for a jumbo paint spot behind the bed. The spotty theme is cleverly carried on in accessories such as the spot rug and round table, and even the basket and hanging light.

Girls room with bright colours.
Going spotty - Use repeat patterns or motifs throughout the room. Repeat colours at strategic heights for a cohesive look and create a focal point with a painted circle. Tie in your accessories with a bold trio of colours.
