Color blocking kids rooms.

Color blocking is the new trend in home decor; which involves using two or three harmonious colors that look great together, then repeating them throughout the decor theme.

A kid’s room is perfect for trying color blocking, giving it a stylish, colorful and playful look and feel. 

The dynamic result adds a fun element, with the added bonus of having your child happier about spending more time in there. If you’d like to try color blocking in your child’s room, here are some ideas to get you started:

1.Be brave and bold with colors

A combination of blue, green and an unexpected orange can result in a striking look. The trick is to work with colors that are close to each other on the color wheel for a balanced harmonious look, or those that are opposite to each other for a dramatic contrasting look. You don’t have to go overboard to achieve color blocking

2. Paint the walls in a bold color. Then create one accent wall (for example the wall behind the bed or the wall with the bookshelves and study table unit) by either painting the entire wall in a different color, or choosing artwork to achieve the same result. Let the same colors be used for upholstery fabrics, curtains and bed linen to get the perfect color blocking scheme.

3.The good thing about color blocking is that you can choose as many colors as you want and still achieve a sense of balance by using accessories like pillows, cushions, rugs, toy storage units and books to unite the many shades together. If the feature walls are a bright, funky color like violet or yellow, the storage units can be infused with splashes of contrasting colors that complement each other.

4.If you think that incorporating your child’s favorite colors into the decor is becoming too bright, try to throw in some neutrals to achieve a sense of balance. Neutral colored furniture, accessories and decorative items can help tone it down.

5.If you are new to playing with colors and aren't sure about painting the walls in a bright color or picking colorful furniture, you can also achieve color blocking with accessories. If the furniture and walls are a neutral color, try a bright, fun patchwork rug that covers the floor in blocks of rich colors. Then choose accessories like pillows, cushions, toy storage units, books and graffiti artwork in matching colors to let the theme run throughout the room.
