When moving into a new home, finding the ideal paint colors for each room takes time and careful consideration. Kids’ spaces often feature bright and fun shades, but you still want an option that will grow with your child through multiple phases. To help with the selection process, here are some top shades to consider. 

What Are the Best Paint Colors for a Kid’s Room?

1. Light Gray

Light gray is a fairly neutral option for a child’s room. It can work for boys or girls, allowing you to provide color in the interior through furnishings. As a bonus, you can easily change the wall art, furniture, and other decor elements through the years without clashing with the wall color. Gray looks less harsh than true white, but it’s still young and fresh. 

2. Minty Green

Green is another gender-neutral option for a nursery. A minty shade provides a bright, happy surface that works with many other accent colors. This hue is fun and noticeable, with kids of all ages being able to appreciate the look. It can easily adjust from being a child’s room to that of a teen’s after you update the furniture.

4. Peach

An alternative to pink, peach paint offers a lighter and more gender-neutral shade. You can pair it with nearly any decor color scheme, from lavender to navy blue. It serves as a neutral hue while still being fun enough for kids to enjoy. Since it's a soft shade, it brings color into the room without being too overwhelming.

3. Chalkboard

Chalkboard paint is generally black or dark green and can easily be drawn on with chalk. You can paint an entire room with this shade or use it to create an accent wall. 

After applying it to the walls, provide some chalk and erasers for your kids and let them turn the room into their own work of art. Complement the dark paint by opting for light trim and accents, like bright window treatments.
