Which paint for the baby's bedroom?

Your little one is due to arrive soon and you still haven't chosen the paint for the baby's bedroom? No need to panic, dear parents! For this important step, we are here to help you make this crucial choice.

Baby bedroom paint: a few criteria to consider first!

Before you start painting your little one's bedroom, there are a few criteria to bear in mind:

• First of all, the choice of paint colour is important. Indeed, it is worth favouring calm and serenity. To achieve this, soft and pastel shades are popular, such as light blue, pale green, and so on. White is also a great option, particularly when combined with a few colourful decorations!

• Secondly, it is essential to choose a safe product. You should therefore select paints that are free from toxic solvents and harmful chemical substances. Furthermore, do be aware that specially formulated baby paints are available in shops. These are environmentally friendly and easy to apply.

• Finally, it is important to ensure long-lasting durability. It will therefore be preferable to opt for paints that are easy to wash, so that cleaning is quick and straightforward in the event of any marks.

What types of baby bedroom paint should you choose?

As you know, there are many products available on the market. They differ in their composition, properties, and performance. With that in mind, we thought it would be useful to provide you with a brief guide to the most commonly used paints for a baby's bedroom:

• Acrylic paint: this is mainly water-based and dries fairly quickly! It is highly resistant, waterproof against moisture, and does not fade. It also has a bright finish. As such, it is ideal for a baby's bedroom.

• Water-based paint: you will find this in shops. This paint is solvent-free, non-toxic, and also very easy to use, as it is applied very simply. However, you will need to apply several coats for adequate protection.

• Finally, eco-friendly paint: this is long-lasting and offers protection against the elements, moisture, and dirt. It is made from natural ingredients and is therefore healthy and safe.

The colour of the baby's bedroom

The choice of colour is sometimes not easy for some parents. That said, bear in mind that there is no single ideal colour. You can perfectly well go with tradition — blue for boys and pink for girls. Or alternatively, opt for a more neutral room in light, pastel tones. The important thing is to create a soothing atmosphere for your newborn's room. The choice is yours! Let your imagination and your wishes run free.

Our little tip: to add a dash of personality to the bedroom, you can also use stickers, create murals, hang pictures, or even photo frames. You will thus create a truly cosy little haven for your little one.
