Colours for a girl's room - how do you choose them?

Colour plays an important role in a child's life, so it is no surprise that children not only want colourful clothes or toys, but also colourful rooms. However, introducing colour into an interior is not always as easy as it might seem at first glance.

It is worth remembering that colour affects not only the aesthetics of an interior, but also moods and emotions. Therefore, the selection of colours for a child's room should be approached very carefully.

Questions such as: what colours suit a girl's room best? How do I introduce colour into the room without overdoing it? What colours are worth choosing? Is it better to paint the walls in the room or perhaps colourful accessories? We explain in our article!

WHAT ARE THE BEST COLOURS FOR A LITTLE GIRL'S ROOM?

When planning the design of a little girl's room or a slightly older schoolgirl's room, it is good to consider several aspects. Firstly, the psychology of colour - it is through this that we learn about the meaning of colours and their effect on a child's mood.

Another consideration is the age of the child. Neutral colours and pastel colours work well in an infant space. Preschoolers like walls in vibrant colours, while teenagers want to experiment, so it's worth including them in the design process.

It is a good idea to combine the base colour with other colours and thus separate the functional zones in the room. For this you can use patterned coloured wallpaper to separate the play zone from the relaxation zone, or go for decorative wall panels. With the help of Soform 's soft upholstered panels or Linerio 's slender fins, we can easily introduce different colours into a girl's room.

WALL COLOUR FOR A GIRL'S ROOM

When planning to paint a child's room, it is worth noting the importance of colours:

Pink: the colour pink is liked by almost every girl at some stage in her life. Powder pink is associated with softness, love, sweetness and girlishness. It gives a sense of security and peace.
Yellow: is the colour of joy, brightens and energises.
Purple: encourages creativity, stimulates the imagination. Perfect for the little artist's room.
Neutral shades: in a child's room, neutral and safe colours such as white, grey or beige are also ideal. Subdued colours create a sense of calm and harmony, while at the same time they can be a background for contrasting furnishings.
Blue: despite appearances,blue is not exclusively reserved for a boy's room. This colour helps with concentration and focus, is great for a good mood and also makes it easier to fall asleep.
Green: The green colour of the walls in the children's room gives a feeling of security and promotes concentration. Due to its universal character, it suits both a boy's and a girl's room.

TIMELESS FURNITURE COLOUR FOR A GIRL'S ROOM

It can also be ideal to introduce colour into the interior with furniture and accessories. In this situation, the walls should be painted in neutral colours, such as white, grey or shades of beige, which will become a great background for colourful furnishings. Worth noting is the Concept furniture collection, in which the coloured fronts can easily be changed and thus change the character of the room.

If your daughter's taste is already established, there is nothing stopping you from giving it expression with a wardrobe or bed in her favourite colour. The Creative furniture system allows you to design a unique piece of furniture for your child's room yourself.

The Reli collection of furniture will also bring a nice mood to a girl's room. Furniture in elegant alabaster white can be complemented by colourful shelves or fronts with striking cut-outs.

A safe choice would be furniture in timeless colours, such as Muve. Within the collection there are three universal colours for the furniture fronts. An element of personalisation can be introduced with the upholstered folding armchair, which is available to order in as many as 15 interesting fabrics to choose from.

The Nature Young furniture on high wooden legs will also work well in a teenager's room. Their timeless design means they can accompany a young woman for many years.

COLOURFUL ACCESSORIES FOR PERSONALISATION

In order to give your child's room a personal touch, it is advisable to use stylish accessories. The Reli dressing table makes it possible to create a practical beauty corner, the 4 You Fresh dressing table with accessories will help to organise the cosmetics collection and keep the interior clean, while the Muve dressing table with a round mirror will emphasise the modern character of the entire arrangement. The Muve bookshelf is ideal as a handy bookcase or a place to keep travel mementos.

Lighting is also an important element of a girl's room. How do you choose them? The article will help with this: Creative lighting for the teenage room

When looking for colours for a girl's room, it is worth looking favourably towards pastel shades. Soft, powdery variants of pink, yellow or blue look great in a girl's kingdom! They won't be distracting in a schoolgirl's room later on either.

If your child loves to be surrounded by intense colours, it is advisable to opt for a neutral base and then complement the décor with colourful accessories. This avoids pomp and over-stimulation.

COLOURS FOR A GIRL'S ROOM - SUMMARY

The colours of the walls, furniture and accessories in a child's room can add energy or, on the contrary, have an overwhelming effect and a negative mood. It is useful to know the basics of colour psychology when arranging, but no less important are your daughter's personal tastes. When it comes to decoration and accessories, current fascinations can play a key role - all the more so as these elements can easily be replaced when a girl's style or interests change. This will not only give the room a welcoming feel, but also make it more "her".
