what color should I paint my 4 yr old sons room and 2 yr old daughters room...need ideas. i wanted to do pink in my daughters but her toy box which has a shelf on top and stands tall is pink and then i thought yellow or purple but theres some wood letter spelling her name on the wall in those colors, then i though light green but the hall is gonna be dark green right by her room...ugh im stuck on what to do!! then i thought doing each wall a different color?? pastel pink, yellow, purple, green?? oh and she has tinkerbell stuff in her room...my son has cars and thought about blue but cant decide on what shade...i dont want any colors that will make the rooms look real small you know? His fav color is orange but not sure about that on the walls? Thanks
 
You need to pick one colour for your daughter's room...don't worry about the hall, the bedroom is separate. Pick your wall colour and paint the rest of the items one colour to match. If you choose a soft (very very light) yellow for example, you can paint all the other items (furnishings, wall lettering) and off white..I would choose a neutral colour for the walls so you do not have to paint again in another couple of years..decorate colour with bedding, framed pictures (that can be changed), pillows..that sort of thing.
The same idea for your son's room..pick a soft neutral colour so you do not have to redo in a year or two..add the theme in the bedding/curtains/removable wall stickers/lighting..that sort of thing.
You haven't said what colour the flooring is in either of the rooms..that has to be taken in consideration too. Make life easier for you and still have the rooms themed like the children enjoy...neutral walls..themed accessories.
