Green Kids Room

Kids rooms aren’t the easiest spaces to decorate. For starters, your little ones are going to have plenty to say about colour and decor choices. What’s more, it’s not uncommon for their tastes to change daily. If you’re looking for a versatile palette that will work well in any kid’s bedroom, picking the right colour is crucial. 

Looking for a shade that will serve them well for years to come? Keep everyone happy by reaching for green. As well as being one of the more versatile options from the colour wheel, green boasts many mood-enhancing benefits that make it an obvious choice for children’s rooms. 

Whether you’re thinking about bright and vibrant hues or want to stick to a more subtle shade, green is always a safe bet. At Tikkurila, you’ll find an amazing array of green paint colours, with shades to suit every space and style preference. 

What Makes Green a Good Colour for a Kids Bedroom?

One of the main draws of green is that it’s a gender-neutral shade. It will work well in a boy’s bedroom, but can also be used to overhaul a girl-friendly space. 

Green is also an incredibly soothing colour. Subtle hues like moss and sage are particularly effective at creating a relaxing sleep environment. Perfect if you’re dealing with little ones who find keeping to a regular bedtime a challenge. 

A lighter green is also a great idea if you’re decorating a room with limited floor space. In a compact room, a minty shade will give a sense of space. Neutral colours and off-whites can serve the same purpose, but they’re not the most durable choice for rooms occupied by haphazard youngsters. 

A green palette can also improve focus and concentration. These qualities are important if a bedroom needs to be kitted out with a reading nook, desk or study area. You can keep things simple with a barely-there shade, then go for a bolder hue when painting a feature wall. 

Looking for more reasons to love green? This colour family is one of the most versatile around. It pairs well with a variety of accent colours and furniture styles. Greens go with everything from hardwood floors to deep pile carpets. What’s more, just about any type of material goes well with green. Whether those bunk beds are made from dark wood or matte metal, they’ll coordinate effortlessly with green walls.

Our Favourite Greens for a Kids Bedroom

Need some selecting the right shade to transform a children’s bedroom? Below are some of the finest green paint colours from our range. 

If you’re searching for a rich and saturated green to overhaul a bedroom, go with something like Emerald L373. This playful green shade can be used in spaces of any size. It’s vibrant and energetic, making it ideal if you’re looking to inspire creativity. 

Although it’s a fairly daring green, you won’t have any trouble pulling together a harmonious decor scheme. Stick to simple complementary colours like grey or off-white, or have fun with more vivid shades like golden yellow.  

The best children’s bedroom colours will require very little updating over the years. A barely-there green like Cucumber Y384 works well in a nursery, but will still look stylish when your youngsters hit their teenage gears. 

What’s more, this contemporary shade is a good fit for gender-neutral spaces. Versatility is another strong point. Whatever decor ideas you have planned, this low-key green will provide you with a flexible backdrop. 

Can’t decide between green and blue? With a paint colour like Silk Road S440, you get the best of both worlds. Although this shade definitely leans closer toward medium green, there’s a blatant hint of blue that brings added freshness. 

As this shade sports characteristics of both colour families, you’re free to incorporate a wide range of complementary accents. Tried and tested favourites like white and grey work well, but more vibrant choices like yellow and orange can also enrich a space. 

Here’s another stylish combination of green and blue. Menthol J442 is ideal for gender-neutral spaces, with a fairly subdued finish that makes it perfect for older children. 

You can stick to seafoam greens or pale teals when incorporating secondary colours. Alternatively, go with grey-infused greens for a more sophisticated space. This shade works particularly well with premium materials. If you are exploring more expensive finishes, any menthol-infused bedroom is bound to become a family hangout spot. 

Which Colours Work Best with Green in a Kid's Room?

Now you’ve settled on the perfect green for a kid’s bedroom, you’ll need to decide on which accent colours to use. Thankfully, putting together a premium colour palette is easy if you’re using green as your base. 

Neutrals are an obvious choice if you’re looking for complementary colours for a green bedroom. Try an off-white grey like Canvas G485 for a more subdued space. Soft and creamy, this shade works well with barely-there greens. 

If you’re aiming to create a relaxing bedroom that can double up as a concentration-boosting study space, use a harmonious neutral like Halo F462. It’ll pair well with almost any shade of green, with its peachy notes bringing added warmth to walls. 

If you’re using a medley of greens to decorate a bedroom, finding a suitable accent colour can be a challenge. When in doubt, reach for the classics like white. Whether you’re using pure white or something enriched with a subtle hint of blue, this staple paint colour won’t let you down. 

Blue and green are neighbours on the colour wheel. While you’d think this rules them as complementary colours, these two shades work remarkably well together, with blue enhancing the fresh and clean qualities of green. 

An illuminating blue like Glacier Y435 is an ideal choice for enriching the style credentials of a children’s bedroom. Even a small amount of this colour will bring life and vibrancy to a space, with a hint of grey there to balance things out. 

Classic pastels can also work beautifully alongside green walls. Forget Me Not H353 is a quintessential pastel blue, working exceptionally well with minty greens.
