Need help!!!Will choose best answer no later than 24 hours after post. EASY POINTS. Ideas for kids playroom.?

Question

We just enclosed our 2 car garage. It will be a kids playroom. 450 Square foot. We put in French door and Hardwood Floor (Laminate/pecan colored) We are putting up chair rail that will be white. I need to pick out paint by in the morning. I want to use primary colors. This is for a 2yr old boy and 6 yr old girl. I had an idea about painting the walls 2 colors. One above and one color below the chairail and painting their handprints as a border or on the bottom of the wall. Please give me a DIFFERENT IDEA beside this one. Thanks.

Answer 1

I would go with a soothing color on the top and paint the bottom with green or black chalk paint on at least two of the four walls. I would definitly use the handprints as a border - but I would tape it off first so that it's in a limited space (about six to eight inches wide) and then I would use a projector and draw the outlines of some of their favorite characters on the upper walls and paint them in with acrylic paints. On the walls with the chalkboard paint I would use chair railing that has a lip to hold the chalk. IF these ideas sound all wrong to you I would go to some sites like HGTV and look up different projects that have been done for kids rooms and "steal" some of their ideas.

Answer 2

Use chalkboard paint on the lower half - it comes in several colors. Also paint some of the walls an undercoat that creates a magnetic surface. These will provide very useful play areas. The colors won't matter to the kids if they have a fun, creative place to draw, play, and display their paper artwork. Get the kids involved in the paint color choices, too. They will appreciate being asked their opinion - especially if you go with it!

Answer 3

Here's an idea I've ALWAYS wanted to do in my kids playroom.

Paint the background any solid colour as long as it's light. I like bright green, but that's just me. Then, paint an enlarged film-strip in a dark colour that goes all the way around the room. Each "frame" should be at least as big as a peice of writing paper, if not bigger. This can be done easily by using a 4-5 inch roller and making 2 long horizontal stripes around the room, about 18 inches apart, then going back and placing vertical stripes in between, to seperate the "frames".

Now, you have the perfect place to encourage your children to decorate their walls. They fill the frames with whatever they like, and the film-strip treatment gives their artwork a finished look. With the multitude of frames, they are likely to continue to have empty frames to fill for quite some time, and might also help to curb their desire to draw elsewhere on your walls.

If you're more artistically inclined, you can have the film strip rise and fall like a wave along the wall.

Have fun in whatever you choose!

Answer 4

Use the primary color chart for all four walls just half way to the ceiling. but do the bottom of 2 walls with the chalk board paint and 2 with cork. That way the kids can draw orpost their favorite things and so can you.

Also, it looks good if you paint any molding in the blue or red in a glossy, to miminize handprints.

Answer 5

ok, there is four walls, right? paint them red, yellow, blue, and green!
Or, If you want to do some sort of design you could make the paint "tie-die" by putting say green, and then taking a plastic bag and dipping it in blue or yellow paint, and then dab it here and there.
My aunt did that in her kid's room...it turned otut great. It gives it that "two color look" without it being hard!
Or
If you don't have your mind set on primary colors, just paint it the color of the most stuff you have (paint the walls to match any big items you want to put in their room)

Just some ideas. Hope i helped!

Answer 6

If your kids are anything like mine.I would not put to much time in to the paint because they will write on the walls,and destroy your paint job.I learned the hard way.I would just use one color.& be sure to save some.
