Create a room they'll want to play in!

July 2022
Create a room they'll want to play in!

With the summer holidays pending, this is your cue to give them a playroom or space that they’ll want to play in!

Having a room or space dedicated for children to play in has numerous benefits for both them, and you.

As well as confining toys and the mess and destruction that goes with them to one space, children also have their very own space to play in independent and creative ways, which has positive effects on children’s brains and their ability to learn.

Let’s dive in and pick the colours that encourage play the most!

 

Blue

Painting a playroom blue will have your children feel far from it if used in moderation. A touch of blue in a playroom is said to enhance creativity and inspire a cool and relaxing environment... However, more than a touch and it can in fact, cause one to feel blue.

Being both durable and washable, Earthborn Lifestyle Emulsion is perfect for playrooms and designated spaces for children because of its hardwearing, classic low-sheen finish, Lifestyle Emulsion is wipeable, and available in many perfect shades - but more specifically - these three beautiful blues!

These are the perfect blues to create a cloudy sky scene above a lighter base, geometric shapes, to furniture and more!

Yellow

The first thing children do when they draw a picture is a big, beautiful yellow sun in the corner of their paper, and a yellow space just for them will be the sunshine they need to thrive and create more sunny pictures.

You should give Crown Breatheasy Matt Emulsion in Happy Daze a go! 

You could paint all four walls yellow, or just one - a little sunshine goes a long way!

Green

Green is said to have relaxing powers, so if your little ones are busy bees, a green playroom can help them to play calmer, especially on those rainy summer days we know all too well in the UK.

Packed with pigment for an extraordinary response to every kind of light, adding a touch of Farrow and Ball’s Emerald Green will bring calmness in abundance!

Pink

Much like green, pink is said to be relaxing. It has the calming power to lower heart rates and serve as the perfect feature in every play room - irrespective of the users gender.

Ranging from bright to subtle, Dulux Easy Care Washable and Tough paint has perfectly pink pigments for everyone!

Black
