Everyone needs some change everyone once in awhile and a coat of paint can make all the difference. Choosing a color for your kid’s room that is not only beneficial for them but also classic enough to last can be difficult. With some research into psychology and interior design, I’ve pulled some ideas to help you get started.
Off-Whites
Looking for the classic neutral color that can work in almost any room with any type of light? Off-whites are calming and serene and allow the brain to relax. Muted color schemes with neutral tones promote a positive frame of mind with a cozy feeling, so your child can relax and have better sleep quality.
Off-whites such as ivory or eggshell make the room feel more open and spacious without having too stark of a tone. Feel free to add a pop of color with a muted pigmentation to add dimension to the decor without taking away from the serenity.

Soft and lighter blues can have a positive emotional effect on children according to the Journal of Applied Psychology. Soft blues work best in rooms with natural light.

Muted Greens
The color green is also known to have a calming effect and relieve stress. It helps kids to better concentrate and it promotes good health. This gender neutral color can be classic if paired with some white or light grey walls and is perfect for any age. Gold or silver accents can easily change the feel of the room so it’s easy for you to get the exact style you want.
