Paint ideas for shared boy/girl bedroom?

Melissa144

We have boy/girl twins who are three and are moving into a new house where they will share a 17x10 room with a ceiling that is on the low side. I don't want to make the room too busy but I'd love to incorporate two different colors (they are asking for blue and purple). They are still in small toddler beds that are white and the room has nice white chunky base molding and framing around the windows and doors.

One thing I have seen and lived was a room with very high chair molding to separate two colors: a nice green on the bottom and yellow on the top of the wall and the entire ceiling. Made the room look larger but not colors my kids love. Wondering if anyone has seen or done something creative in this situation? Thanks!

What about light blue and light purple? Maybe paint 2 walls in their color choices and the other two walls in a soft white so it's not too dark?

I'm looking for room decorations ideas for my 4 year boy/girl twins?

justaskme

I want to re-theme their bedroom to something more pre-school. Also, I want to avoid something to wild because we are going to be selling soon (in the next year) & I didn't want to have the shock effect & I don't want to spend a fortune either because this isn't going to be their forever room just the room that they are going to be in until spring or early next summer when we move & they each get their own room... I'm just tried of seeing the mint green we painted almost 5 years ago. I can't come up with any ideas good ideas.

Answer
I would go with a neutral color, some shade of tan or off-white, so that you don't have to re-paint soon. To make it kid friendly, add wall decorations. A good theme in my opinion would be 'Pre-School'. At age 4, it's kind of hard to find a neutral theme between a boy and a girl. Buy pictures and wall hangings with numbers/letters/colors, etc. Don't go all out, because you will just be redoing it soon.
