1. Transport them to A Whole New World

Through the clouds and over the sea, transport their bedroom into a whole new world. To inspire ideas that can encompass boundless imagination, make your kids feel like they're constantly on an adventure by using even the simplest of painted murals or adding accessories to spark creative play.

Using two complementary and very natural colours, along with a fun design, you can instantly transport your little ones to lush landscapes filled with clean oceans, desert dunes, or enchanted forests.

2. Somewhere Over the Rainbow

As your child drifts off to sleep, create a beautiful environment in their room by painting different shapes on the walls. Somewhere under this rainbow is a world of imagination, perfect for sparking creativity and inspiring independent play. Brighten the walls with a sun or create a cosy place for them to snuggle up at night, a mural of the moon or their favourite animals.

Bring the walls to life by using beautiful textures that not only add depth and dimension but also loads of creativity and fun.

3. Make a Statement

Walls aren’t the only way to rediscover a room. If you’re looking to refresh the space, look no further than the furniture in their room and turn it into a statement piece.

Using a range of colours and textures is a clever way to transform the room and create a lively and energetic environment for your children.

4. Define their Space

To help make the space multi-purpose, use a few colours to divide and define different spaces, like a spot to study which is separate from a place to play. This will help focus your child when it comes time for homework, or excite them when they have free time.

This technique works particularly well when adding shelves, frames, or even accessories. By painting a section of the room, a more stimulating hue than the rest, you’ll make the area feel special and a lot more exciting!
