Create stimulating spaces for children with colour
In designing spaces for children, colour has a profound impact as it influences their cognitive and emotional development. By carefully selecting and combining colours, we can stimulate creativity, support cognitive growth, and foster a sense of joy and well-being in the spaces where children learn, play, and grow.
How To Guides
Embrace an energetic and playful palette
Vibrant and playful colour palettes infuse energy into any space, making it a great choice for your child’s room. Bright blues like our Surf Wash evoke a sense of enthusiasm and creativity whereas lively hues like yellow, or pops of bright orange can stimulate the senses and create a playful environment.
Choose soothing pastels for relaxation
While vibrant colours are invigorating, incorporating soothing pastels can provide a balance for relaxation. Soft pinks such as Camisole Quarter create a calming atmosphere, making it an ideal choice for areas where children unwind, read, or take naps. Striking the right balance ensures a harmonious environment that caters to both activity and rest.
Opt for educational and inspirational murals
Transforming plain walls into dynamic canvases are a great idea to elevate the space where children play or indulge in creative activities.
Instead of painting the walls in a single colour, you can opt to paint murals. For eg. Painting geometrical shapes or trees and animals in vibrant hues like Airborne and Boscoe Blue, to awaken curiosity and kindle their passion for learning.

Blues can create a tranquil and calming atmosphere in your home. Dark blues can add sophistication and moodiness to the space whilst lighter blues can add a sense of calm. Blue is a versatile colour and can be easily schemed with many other colours for the interior or exterior.
