My son wants his room to be red, white and blue. Any suggestoins?

Question

I've thought about painting one wall red, and one blue, leaving the other two white. I'm not real crafty, so I need to come up with something easy.

Answer 1

I will give you 4 ideas ok.

You could make the walls blue, carpet red and the trim white.

You could make the walls blue, curtains red and the trim white.
if you didn't want to change the carpeting.

You could do white walls, and the sponge red and blue stars all over the white walls.

Or if he is really patriotic, You could paint the walls white, and then duplicate the American Flag across the longest wall. and the rest of the walls white.

Answer 2

I'm an artist and do kids rooms. I recently painted an American Flag on a boys room wall with an american eagle head over it. It was really cool. If you think about doing this, here is the easiest way. Get a picture of it and project it up on the wall, then trace it while it's projected and then paint in the lines. I did it free hand, but this is my suggestion if your not very crafty. Also, I left the other three walls the same color of blue that was on the flag and behing the flag, I left it white, Then I painted the kids name on the wall with the flag in his favorite color beside red, white and blue. Hope you can do this. The outcome is really cool. Good Luck.

Answer 3

paint it like a checker board with a border in the middle of the wall. Have the top of one wall red and the bottom white, the next wall do the bottom blue the top white, and so on. That should make a neat room. My son's room has four different colors, red, blue, green and yellow one for each wall, it looks great. Good luck

Answer 4

Paint the top have blue and the bottom half do a plaid design with the back ground being white and doing the plaid colors in red and blue. Use chair molding to separate the colors.

Or paint the whole room blue, use red curtains.
Red white and blue plaid comforter (Target) with some throw pillows.

Find pictures of old airplanes, flags etc to match.

Answer 5

Although paint is the easiest thing to use when decorating, I wouldn't suggest bold or dark colors in a kids room. They are hard to cover when he changes his mind. However, your idea of color-blocking one wall is very interesting! Go with the white and perhaps get some tape to that color-block wall and do small stripes in red. Then you can hang blue curtains and add pillows with stars and bed covers that match! Then the kid will be happy and when he's tired of it, you only have a few places that need some special treatments. I really admire you for letting your son choose his room colors! It will help him make more choices that are important in his life. You're a great parent! Godloveya.

Answer 6

My grand daughters liked pink and purple so I just painted one side of the room pink and one side purple...
you can always use paint tape and make some stripes across part of the room in one or the other color...
You can use it to mask out any design you want...Maybe a flag room..
You could tape off a small corner on one of the walls and paint it dark blue and get some of those stick on stars to put in it for the states...
Then use the tape for the red and white stripes around the rest of the room that would be an awesome room!
My grand daughters would even like that!

Answer 7

Actually my 6 year old nephew wanted spider man, so my brother painted 3 walls blue and one red and I couldn't believe it but it looked great!

So I would paint like you said, and then do something in the corner that is the 3 colors, if it is the flag he is into get one and hang it some creative way in the corner, I think you have the right idea ! now when he wants to change it, that will be fun painting over the color lol but that is why they make kilts lol
Good Luck and look up things online for ideas.

Answer 8

Nice, very patriotic. I would recommend a dark blue finish from the floor up to about 3'. Do a deep red chair rail around the room and then do the remainder of the wall and ceiling white. You may want to purchase an older fabric American flag and hang it on one of the walls for decoration.

Answer 9

I'd say to paints the top half of every wall white, the bottom half of every wall blue, and a red strip separating both. I think red is really aggressive so you shouldn't be putting too much (like a whole wall).

Answer 10

Paint one wall red, one wall white and the 4th wall with red, white and blue stars!
