Tips for Painting Shared Kid's Bedrooms

It can be exciting and intense to have roommate negotiations going on between, say, a 3 and 7 year-old, but here’s a way to deal with them. Divide the room into 2 L-shape corners. In other words, if the room has 4 walls, paint 2 adjoining walls in one color and the other 2 in another. This creates visual independence for the two kids. Let them decide on a color from the rainbow: purple, blue, yellow, red (pink), green, or orange. It is important that they get to pick the color. Use our Hot and Sweet Beans palette page in our Trend-proof Color Collection™ as a guide. Once they pick the color—let’s say one picks pink and the other one green—you pick a unifying color, like a yellow or a chocolate, to play with the following options:
1-do 2 walls in green paint and 2 in pink paint with a yellow ceiling.
2-do the bottom half of two walls in pink and green and the top half in the unifying color, including the ceiling.
3-do wide stripes, or any cool pattern in their colors along with the unifying color to make it look like a cool graphic or simple mural.
If you send us the picture of your quilts we can recommend the colors! This is an important opportunity to your kids t lesson about creative compromises and collaboration that often lead to exceptional results.
