ICI Paints offer many color styles in which to decorate your home. You can even customize the paint colors to match bedding, draperies, rugs or other accessories in your kid's bedroom. This will create a one-of-a-kind look if you choose the color theme wisely. Children enjoy spending time in a bedroom that reflects their personalities and tastes, so involving them in the planning process is a wise idea. - Select a color scheme on ICIPaints.com or use the color visualizer on Sherwin-Williams.com to help your child create the color scheme from his imagination. You can print out color samples or stop by a retail store to get paint sample cards to take with you to shop for bedding, draperies and other accessories.
- Choose bold colors for your child's bedroom if she enjoys a funky, contemporary look. For instance, if your daughter has a brightly colored polka dot bedspread, you can accent the wall colors with a focal color from one of the polka dots or even paint each individual wall in different shades evident in the bedding.
- Select outdoorsy colors if your kid is a sports enthusiast or a nature buff. ICI earth tones, such as taupe, moss green or a golden sunset shade, can be coordinated with apricot, burgundy, teal or beige tones.
- Match the wall color with the color scheme already in use in the room; for instance, if the draperies are a cool color, such as baby blue, use other cool shades to add to the look, such as pale yellow, white or a soft pink. Alternately, warm tones such as brown, orange-reds, or a muted gold will coordinate well with ICI colors in camel, muted lime green or rust.
- Aim for an ocean-inspired theme by using ICI's ebb and flow color combinations. Seashell pink, silvery blue, soft aqua and deep marine-looking blue-green shades will give the room the appearance of an under-the-sea haven.
