What colour should i paint my 4-year-old daughter`s bedroom ceiling and walls?

You want to indulge your child's color preferences, but you cringe at the thought of midnight black or construction orange all over the walls. You don't have to go to those extremes to create a room your child will love. The secret is diluting the over-the-top color, either literally with white paint or visually by surrounding it with more temperate tones.





Young children often adore bright red and orange; girls in particular may crave hot pink and bright orchid purple. Let them enjoy these happy hues in a way that doesn't overwhelm the room by using one or more cooling strategies.





Try adding white or beige to orange to make this lively hue more versatile. Boys and girls alike will feel at home with warm terra-cotta and melon hues; for more interest, add a bit of yellow or red to create sunflower or coral. These sunset tones work well with Wild West motifs and many other decorating themes. Easily coordinating colors include blues, greens, yellows, rust red, and warm neutral colors such as cream, tan, and brown. Peach plus lilac or periwinkle makes a pretty, chic look.





To keep classic red from being too much of a good thing, use it as an accent throughout the room, and find a predominantly red bed ensemble to make the bed the center of attention. Popular color schemes are red, white, and royal blue; red, pale gray, and violet; red, yellow, and turquoise; red, white, and green (lime is fresh, hunter is classic); or red, white, and pink. Let white and cool colors (blue, green, violet) dominate, and keep the hot colors (red, yellow, pink) as accents since they'll just naturally grab more attention.





Bright pink and purple are so popular with young girls that it's easy to find ensembles and accents that pair these two. To keep them from overwhelming the room, choose a pale pink, lilac, or periwinkle tint for walls, and cool the look further with lots of white and light green. (Lime is fresh; mint is timeless.) If your girl likes a vintage look, it's easy to find elements in old rose, lavender, ivory, and celadon or sage green.

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family %26amp; color name, the ';painted'; rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think ';eros pink'; (# 6860) walls with a ';pink moment'; (# 6857) ceiling might look terrific.





You can take a photo of your house %26amp; upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

My all time favorite color for a bedroom is periwinkle blue. You could paint the ceiling white or a much much much lighter shade of the same blue.


This shade looks great with navy, purple, yellow, pink, peach, green or brown. Lots and lots of options. Maybe you should pick your bedding first then choose an accent color from it.
i would stick with the playful colors:


sky blue


bubble gum pink


light orange


light purple





and for the ceiling:


i would stick with white.


because a white ceiling always makes things stand out.





for her walls maybe put polka dots or stripes.


they are always cute :]
I would go with a butter yellow for the walls. It's a warm neutral cheery color. White for the ceiling.
