Painting walls in the interior of a children's room

A children's room is a small world of a child in which he plays, fantasizes and grows. Painting the walls in the interior of the children's room helps to make the first personal space magical, interesting and filled with something personal and close to the baby.

Wall painting is the application of a specific pattern to the wall. This process can be done with your own hands or with the help of an artist and room designer. The walls of the room are painted, as a rule, with acrylic paints or latex paints, less often with oil and tempera. The image is applied using brushes and rollers of various diameters and structures.

Painting a wall in a nursery has its own important features:

• future sketch should be approved by the owner of the nursery, and his desires and preferences should be satisfied as much as possible;
• drawing may take both the entire wall and a specific section of the wall, for example, above a bed, wardrobe or children's corner;
• all materials must be environmentally friendly and of high quality;
• base-wall for drawing passes painstaking and high-quality preliminary processing (primer, surface filling);
• the surface for painting can be covered with special wallpaper, suitable for future staining.

As you can see, painting walls is much more difficult and time-consuming than wallpapering a space, and many see this as a significant drawback of the process. In addition, the drawing that is so attracted today may absolutely not please the baby in a year.

However, today the pluses of painting outweigh the share of its minuses. Among the advantages are noted:

• the opportunity to experiment and create with children;
• inexpensive repairs if carried out independently;
• the ability to change the existing drawing at any time while creating on wallpaper for painting;
• harmony of the future nursery and the child;
• the uniqueness of the repair.

Despite the delight, after the completion of the repair, you can often hear that the repair is tired, the room has become uncomfortable and painful. This is largely due to improperly selected shades in the children's room or their age mismatch.

So, psychologists advise not to paint the walls of babies in the first two years of life in bright and rich colors. Small details can have rich shades, but there should be few of them. The feeling of security and warmth will be created by:

• soft blue tones;
• light yellow shades of pastels;
• light green;
• white;
• pale pink.

Coloring the background of the future drawing with similar colors, it is worth paying attention to combine it with details... So, against a pale pink background, a beautiful princess can appear in clothes of soft pastel colors. It is recommended to exclude all dark and depressing tones from the future image, such as dark blue, black, burgundy.

Starting from the fourth year of life, the soul of a child requires brightness. You should not refuse this to the baby, boldly drawing with yellow, green, bright pink and blue paints. Such tones will create a joyful mood in the baby and encourage him to be active and mobile.

Quite calm shades can become the background for juicy and cheerful drawings. So, psychologists have found that the ivory color with a golden undertone perfectly lifts the mood, and light beige and pale blue colors are indispensable for improving the general condition of the child.

For schoolchildren, experts advise choosing neutral, but at the same time, eye-pleasing shades. The background can be a light lilac shade, which, according to scientists, stimulates creative and mental activity.

In addition to age characteristics should respect the characteristics of the child's temperament. A melancholic or phlegmatic kid needs to create an environment with bright plots, adding several elements with red shades.

Such colors will encourage a measured and calm child to play more active, cheer up, prevent sadness and concentrate on sad thoughts. Choleric and sanguine, on the contrary, are useful in calm tones of the background and drawings. By adding tranquility to the interior, parents will be able to more easily and hassle-free put restless children to bed, form their perseverance and focus on the classroom.

When preparing a nursery for a child who is already talking, it will be useful to pay attention to the preferences of the baby himself, because no advice from a psychologist can be effective if they are opposed. Perhaps the child's answers will not suit the parents and will not fit into the overall interior, however, you can always find a compromise in the form of a small part of the drawing, which will take into account all the wishes of the little esthete.
