Jungle theme
Soft greens, darker olives, a hint or beige and an accent of orange or banana yellow may sound like risky paint choices but try imaging a base wall colour of palest green paint with a few large stronger green leaves painted on each wall of the room. Here is how to create your jungle paint colour scheme.
Drawer Shelf
First paint the room all over with the base colour, using a normal white for the ceiling. Use magazines to find ideas then sketch a clump of four to five "taller than my child" leaves in each corner of the bedroom. (Make them big so the child really gets a sense of "wow, I am in a rainforest".) Choose up to four paint colours - in addition to your soft green base paint. Use a lead pencil or some chalk and draw your leaves onto the wall. Start from the floor up. If you are not a confident drawer and want to play it safe, use a simple arc to shape your leaves. Make them 300 to 500mm wide. Mask up the leaf shape using masking type to reduce the risk of having the paint run then start to paint, being sure to alternate the colour of the leaves each time you paint a new one. You can use the same colour on the second and fifth leaves or the first and fourth leaves. You can outline each leaf with a 10mm edge of the banana yellow paint or the dark olive for extra effect. In one or two corners from the ceiling rim down (but not onto the ceiling) draw three or four smaller leaves, this time about half the size of your child. Mask up. Again, alternate your paint colours as you go.
To add additional character to the room use large transfers of jungle animals, birds and flowers. Buy fake flowers and string them together, then hang above windows or hang across the door way. Decorate the room with potted indoor plants, and perhaps find a nearly-life-sized tiger teddy to rest way up high on the book shelf with one paw dangling over the edge.
Painting your childrens room can be fun. Try to involve the child in the decision making. Discuss the themes with them. Ask them to give you permission to experiment on their behalf. Take them shopping for special toys and objects to decorate their room. Of course, after putting all that effort in, you want to make sure the paint job will last. When choosing your paint make it is going to be tough enough to handle the punishment it is likely to get and is washable, suitable for children (who can be more sensitive) and low in chemicals. A low sheen acrylic is usually a good idea.
Hopefully, when you are finished you with have created a delightful space for your child to dream, play and rest in.
