6 creative ideas for painting the walls of the bedroom

Dear ones, ready with bucket, paint and brush? Today I want to make you want to paint the walls of your children’s bedroom…obviously not white.

Oh yes, because although the white walls are bright and easy to repaint every time the wall gets dirty (at least my husband always says so), it is difficult to resist the temptation to paint the  children’s bedroom in a thousand colors .
In fact, a little colored paint, chosen in the right shades and applied to the right spots, can revive and completely transform the look of a somewhat anonymous room.

How to paint the walls of the bedroom

Since ideas in these cases are never enough, I’ll show you around some of the most beautiful bedrooms on the web. The creative ideas you see will inspire you to renovate and paint the walls of your children’s bedroom.

With colored stripes and geometric designs

To create something original on the walls , all you need to do is get colored paints – in the colors that we like best or that are most suitable for the design we have decided to make – and a little masking tape of painter’s paper. We will need it to paint straight lines, spaces and geometric figures.
It will be possible to create suggestive settings such as stylized mountains,  cities with skyscrapers  or simply abstract designs  and giant colored lines.
The bedroom will never be the same again!

With hand drawn designs

If, on the other hand, you don’t like geometric figures and you’re good at making freehand drawings , you can give vent to your creativity by drawing on the wall what you or your children like best. In small areas of the wall you can draw portraits, animals, comic characters, plants and flowers  or, if you feel like it, you can create entire settings such as the scene of a fairy tale , the circus environment, the sea, the sky, the forest , of the farm … in short, here the imagination is needed.

With stencils

If you don’t feel inclined to make drawings, remember to take stencils when you go to buy paint .
Stencils are a sort of mask that allows you to paint perfect designs on the wall according to a pre-established shape. On the market there are all types and with the most disparate designs. Once you’ve painted the walls your favorite color, just lay the stencil on the wall and paint. Once you have removed the mask on the wall you will have created a beautiful drawing without even a smudge. You can repeat the same design several times on the wall and create cheerful, colorful and unique walls.

Ceiling with the sky

To renovate the bedroom without having to paint too many walls,  painting only the ceiling can be a valid solution.
For example, you can paint the ceiling blue to create a sort of starry sky and conveniently leave the walls white or a neutral color. And to create even more atmosphere especially at night, the stars can be made with fluorescent stickers.

Chalkboard effect paint

Do you want to be even more original? Buy the blackboard effect paint !
No it’s not a joke, many mothers already know it and their children are crazy about it. In practice it is a paint – ask for the non-toxic and odorless one – which is spread like the others but which is black and on which children can draw and write just like on a real blackboard.
In this way the children will be free to draw on the walls and you can clean the wall with a simple wipe.
It will be enough for you to create even just a small space. In fact, since blackboard paint can also be applied to wood and other surfaces, you can think of applying the paint to a wooden panel to be fixed to the wall. Easy to take off once you don’t want it anymore.

Magnetic paint

Ok, do you want to dare even more? Create designs and settings with magnetic paint!
It is spread before the final colored paint and allows you to transform the wall into a surface where you can attach magnets or metal things (possibly light). The walls will become a special magnetic card where children can do many activities. They will be able to have fun with the magnetic letters and write their names , play with their magnets , toy cars and anything that can be attached
