Color design

With colours, you can support or contrast accessorise uk and furniture. You can play and experiment with colourfulness. In short - colour is living and life.

Tastes differ - also in the children's room

Everyone has their own preferences and tastes differ. In our opinion, when it comes to choosing the right colour scheme for a child's room, it's your gut alone that decides. There are no good and bad, no right and wrong colours. You can see that from the wide range of wallpapers, borders and the number of children's fabrics alone. 

"After we had ordered new kids furniture in white, we started thinking about colours. Our daughter Johanna suddenly had the idea of painting the entire room orange. At first we were sceptical because we were not sure of the effect. After what felt like endless discussions, we let ourselves be persuaded. And? We are overwhelmed by the result. The white furniture on a dark wooden floor and the warm orange colour are simply a stunner."

Meanwhile, there is no colour that does not exist - no colour combination that is missing. Every colour world has its own advantages and its own charm. And there are no longer any "taboos" when it comes to colour design in the children's room. Accordingly, many colours and combinations are now on the market.

In the end, the "right" colour depends on your taste. In addition, there are also factors such as lighting conditions and the chosen furniture. This is another reason why it is not possible to make any general statements or judgements. Take a look at the room examples, let the various combinations have an effect on you and listen to your gut.

Because in the final analysis, it is not only the colour of the walls that shapes the room. With various furnishings and textiles and curtains, you have a considerable influence on the colour world. Be it in a similar direction to create harmony or in a complementary direction to create interesting tensions.

By the way, you can find a lot about colour in our kinder räume magazine. 

"Paint cardboard and or paper with the colours you have shortlisted. Place or lean the coloured cardboards against the wall in the appropriate room and observe the effect at different times of the day and in different lighting conditions.
Or create your own collages. Coloured paper, wallpaper patterns, coloured magazines - anything goes. Place the most varied tones next to each other and observe the different impressions. Important: Always have a white sheet of paper with you as a reference. Together with white, every colour has a different effect than on its own."

Colour in the children's room 

Colour is also one of the most important design tools in the children's room. It reflects the expression, the character and the atmosphere and decisively shapes the overall picture. It also supports the chosen theme of the children's room. 

Shares in the room 

Depending on the share and the respective area as well as the presence of individual tones, you also change the big picture. It makes a difference whether you use a certain colour over a large area or only selectively. This can be done through smaller wall surfaces, or simply through accessories, fabrics or textiles. 

A blue carpet has a different (and more striking) effect within a white room than, for example, within a structure that is designed entirely in blue. 

Character of the room 

With colour you shape the vibrancy and liveliness of a room. By doing so, you make the room loud or quiet. Lively or calm. Cold or warm. The chosen colour and its combinations reflect the contrasts (of life).

Light colours that harmonise with each other have a different effect than tones that compete against each other.

However, the exciting thing about colours is not only the obvious, but the hidden. They transport images, emotions and associations. Apart from generally valid associations, these sensations also depend on us personally, our experiences and preferences. So it is not only about their respective effect on us, but rather about the images they trigger in us.

Colour creates images and tells stories

 

Green stands for nature and reminds us of it. We see meadows, forests, vegetables and fruit. This associates life and freshness. Can you imagine a pirate room in green?
We see jungle themes, or flower meadows with butterflies. Perhaps also a tree house. 
As an admixture, it can be used beautifully with pink or purple. 

Blue makes us think of the sea, beach and sky. Accordingly, we see maritime themes and the popular hot air balloon. Together with red, this makes for beautiful pirate or sailor rooms.

Pink is the colour for girls. The palette ranges proportionately from blue to red. In children's room design, we see castles, fairies or even ballet dancers. Pink can be beautifully combined with green and thus appears very fresh. Light is a quiet colour. Dark it is intense, pink and present.

Turquoise stands for freshness, yellow and orange make us think of sun, savannah, oranges and lemons. Red is strong and present. Grey is elegant and can be combined very well.

And so countless examples can be cited. All colour worlds can be complemented and combined. Depending on the combination, the effect and radiance of the main colour changes. Experiment and let the impressions have an effect on you.
