What color is your child's bedroom?

[MNT568]

I am getting ready to redo my 7yo DS bedroom. He wants a skateboard theme, we found a really cool border with skateboards on it. The background is blue and the skateboards are all different colors/patterns with orange or yellow wheels. My DS thinks orange walls would be "way cool". I mentioned this to my family and they think I am nuts to paint the walls orange. Am I nuts? Do any of your kids have bright rooms?

When I was a kid, my bedroom was hot pink. Before that, I was in a fluorescent yellow bedroom. I'm scarred for life.

My friend did her son's like a burnt orange and it looks great. I wasn't so sure when I saw it in the can but when it was all put together it looked nice.


BTW- I just did my son's room in a skateboard theme and I went to Target and bought two small skateboards and hung them on the wall as shelves. I also got a Tony Hawk poster and framed it. I then got pictures of DS on his board and hung them. I got all those ideas when I posted here that I needed help doing my Ds room.

My mum always allowed me to choose whatever colour I wanted for my bedrrom. It ranged from black and white to bright pink and purple!

I loved been able to have my oom however I wanted, far more relaxing for me than the rooms my friends were forced to have all pink and frilly!

Dd's room is pepto bismol pink, she loves it! We let her choose whatever she wanted when decorating her room. I feel that a child's bedroom is their private space and they should decide (within reason of course) how it is decorated.

My LIVING ROOM was bright, obnoxious, pumpkin-orange - not too long ago.

It IS verrrrrry WAY cool!

DS 11 wants us to paint his room red. Personally I feel red on all walls would be too much so we have agreed on painting 1 wall red and the rest white. I think orange would look nice.

I think it would look great! My gf did her sons room in a sports theme, and the lower part of the walls were a bright orange with a blue chair molding. It looks awesome! My dd's room is a bright peachy yellow. The color is called Rummymede from Frazee. Her room isn't done yet - it still needs one more coat of paint and stuff on the walls. One or two of her walls will be finished in a fushia.

Go for it! Tell your family that orange is becoming more popular now. I babysit for a family and they did the baby's room in orange and navy blue and its so nice. One wall is orange and the other three are beige with a navy shelf around the top of the room. His brother has a skateboard room and its yellow on two walls and blue on the other two. How about do orange on two wall and blue on the other two. You could also do the bottom orange and then put the border around the middle with blue on the top.

DS16's room is Montgomery White with a deep colonial style blue trim--gunstock corners are painted in the trim color, too.

as a younger boy his room had the most beautiful pale yellow walls, which were his 1st choice--when he was 5 he wanted BLACK walls!
Upon further inquiry, he pointed out his dog (Razzle, the Lab) was black, bats were black(he watched Eureka's castle) & caves were black (Batman!)-
I learned to give him a large, but parent approved selection of colors to choose from!

the majority of the walls in the historic (an 1804 presidential homestead) house where I work are painted in a vermillion, translation: a red based screaming orange It was quite the rage in Georgian/Federal homes, inspired by homes in Britain.
so tell the nay-sayers that yr choice is based upon the 'sophisticated historic palette found in many of America's wonderful heritage homes!"

DD#1 has her walls painted fushia pink with a border that is light pink and has shoes, lipsticks, purses, etc on it. The bottom half of the walls have sliver sponged on them...when she wanted that I thought she was nuts, but it actually looks really good.

DD#2 has bright sunshine yellow walls...and I mean yellow like the sun

I think it sounds great. I have a yellow, soon to be silver bedroom. (I think we might use duct tape to make it silver)

My son loved space when he was little so we painted his room midnight blue. My mom had a fit swore I'd never be able to paint over it. Well he's now into the Toronto Maple Leaf's so we painted the top half of the room white and left the blue on the bottom, no problems at all.

BTW DS loves orange too. It really is THE hot colour right now. I agree Go For It!

We just re-did both DD's & DS's rooms. We pulled colors from the comforter set we bought at Bombay Kid's for my DD's room. Three walls are a bright pink (fushia) color and one wall (the solid wall) is a purple color. It looks really great! DS's room is a very pretty blue color. It was tough for us to find just the right blue but finally we did.

DS-9 y.o. bedroom is a bright lime green and a gorgeous bright royal blue, it looks fantastic together. Then it has an amazing border of dinosaurs that doesn't repeat the design at all and looks very realistic...we get lots of compliments on his room.
DS-19 y.o. room is deep red on 3 walls and charcoal grey on the other--didn't like the idea at first but it looks really cool with chrome accents.
DD-7 y.o. is just baby blue with butterflies and daisies and other DS 16 y.o. is his favorite hockey team colors burgandy, navy, silver.

I wish my parents let me choose the color of my bedroom, but I really didn't mind it. It is a deep red (like a bright scarlet), has a nice tropical feel with a bright beige carpet.
