When we are waiting for a happy event, we tend to want everything to be perfect for the arrival of our cherub. But what are the essentials for an ideal bedroom? What to focus on for the well-being of the baby? Follow the leader.
What paint color to choose? Focusing on a lovely crib or convertible bed? So many questions that young parents face, often without even knowing where to start. Enough to generate some anxiety despite the excitement of welcoming a new member into the family. If this is the case for you, don’t panic, you just need to follow some essential steps that will make your life easier.
What paint to choose for the baby’s room?
For the walls of the baby’s room, it is important to choose a paint that guarantees both its safety and well-being. Ecological water-based paint is especially recommended for use with children because it reduces exposure to harmful products, emits less volatile organic substances and therefore contributes to better air quality in the room. As for finishing, here too some parameters must be taken into account. A satin-look paint is ideal. Easier to maintain than other finishes, it will adapt perfectly to baby’s growth and adventures.
Colors play an essential role in the atmosphere of the room. Soft and calming shades are preferred. Pale blue helps calm and promotes sleep, while soft green evokes nature and tranquility. Choose a pastel pink to bring cozy warmth. Accent everything with a few touches of bright colors to bring joy and good mood and develop your little one’s curiosity. Yellow, orange or Majorelle blue are also great choices. However, say goodbye to red, which tends to disrupt sleep.
