Color for Kids' Rooms

Pale or Delicate, Bright or Bold: Create a Wonderful Child's Room With Color

By Coral Nafie, About.com

Posh Tots uses a picket fence theme and garden colors for this armoire.

The room my sister and I shared growing up had floral baskets on the wallpaper, beautiful blue carpet, and girlish decorations. I'd never replicate it, but I'll always remember it with fondness.

Decorating a child's room using an age-appropriate theme and favorite colors is a great way to create a memorable space for your child to call his or her own.

Choose a boy's decorating theme or girl's theme, favorite colors, and add things that are important to your child. You'll have a room they'll never forget!
