ROOMS TO GROW
More and more parents want to create rooms that embrace creativity and move away from technology. The desire to create comforting moods means pushing out the grays and bringing back soft and soothing colors. From nurseries to teens’ rooms, color has evolved past primary hues to embrace softer tones, allowing for more creative and personal color choices.
Renew Blue
8003-37D
Perfect Backdrop
8005-8B
Create a feeling of serenity and calm throughout a nursery by incorporating peaceful Renew Blue. Natural lighting and organic décor keep growing minds healthy by layering in sensory materials and finishes. Lean into tranquility by pairing the blue hue with comforting warm neutrals. Visually extend the height of the space with Perfect Backdrop.
Delightful Moon
3004-6A
For a nursery that inspires joy and play, consider accenting the room with warm yellow hues. Delightful Moon on cabinetry and furniture takes your imagination to bright children’s books and sun-filled vacations to come. For an extra layer of fun, incorporate patterns such as polka dots throughout walls or décor.
Secluded Garden
5002-4A
Rosario Ridge
1005-10C
A versatile hue that seamlessly integrates into nearly every aesthetic, Secluded Garden feels imaginative and sophisticated. This vintage-inspired color brings an elevated touch to any child’s room. For an eye-catching look, pair the cool teal with pops of soft pink Rosario Ridge on furniture, clean Du Jour trim and medium wood tones.
Villa Grey

Mossy Aura

As kids mature, they’re drawn to soothing and nurturing greige, like these Villa Grey walls. Balanced neutrals provide a blank canvas, making room for special touches through décor and furniture that fit each phase of childhood. For a personal style, try adding an accent color to trims to give a graphic look that’s often found in virtual spaces.

OPEN THE DOOR TO COLOR
Not sure where to start with choosing kids' room paint colors? Here are some of our favorite colors. Some are trendy, some are tried and true, but they all can help give your bedroom new life. And don’t stress too much — if you change your mind, we’ve got the Love Your Color Guarantee: if you don’t love your color, we’ll replace it with one you do.
FINDING YOUR COLOR
Choosing a color (or colors) can get overwhelming – but here are a few things that can help narrow down your options in choosing colors for a kid’s room.
What’s Next in Color
Help kids celebrate time away from their screens. Soothing tones encourage time to stay still and ponder the light and joyful space. Sleep and study are integral to growth and color choices can have strong impacts on both.
Setting an Example
Set an example for the future upcycling furniture and décor with older kids. This not only provides the added benefit of doing things together but also instills a sense of responsibility and care for the environment. Giving a second life to neglected pieces also offers an opportunity to inject your unique style into your space.
PICKING THE PAINT
Once you’ve got a color, then it’s time to pick a paint. It might not seem as important as color, but the right paint is a crucial part of getting results you love.
Choosing the right sheen
What makes a sheen the right one? It really comes down to how you use your space and what your preferences are. Bedrooms can have doors, trim, walls, cabinetry and more. And your sheen choices will be based on the surface, traffic and qualities like washability and durability. For more information on sheens, take a look at our sheen article.
Satin
Semi-Gloss
Flat
EggShell
Choosing the right product
Our recommendation for walls, cabinetry and doors is Valspar® Reserve®. It offers great hide and coverage, which will make your life much easier when painting. And because entryways are meant for busy spaces, it also gives you scratch, scuff and stain resistance.

GET THE RIGHT TOOLS
You need the right applicators to get the job done right. For a kid's room, you’ll want to have both a roller and a brush on hand. Woven roller covers are ideal because they’re shed resistant and leave a smooth finish. And for brushes, go with Valspar Wall & Trim brushes for clean edges and a smooth finish.
