How to choose girls’ room colours: ideas, combinations and shades
The choice of colours to be used in the various rooms of the home is a fundamental step in creating spaces that reflect the tastes and personalities of guests. When it comes to children’s rooms, however, this analysis can be even more important, as children and teenagers can be strongly influenced by the atmosphere of the room and experience it differently depending on whether they feel it is more or less their own. From thecombination of different shades to the choice of bright colours for the little ones, in this article we want to focus on the colours of girls’ rooms, seeing how to choose the best palettes to make this room unique and cosy.
Girls' bedrooms: how to choose the right colours
Through the colours used within a girls’ bedroom, both on the walls and in terms of the colour of the furniture, it is possible to create spaces that encourage relaxation, stimulate creativity and accompany the young women of the house through the different stages of their growth.
Colour matching, for example, is a crucial step in creating a harmonious ambience. For girls’ rooms, the advice is to consider colour palettes that go well together, combining for example pink and grey or light blue and white, which together can create a feeling of delicacy and sophistication. The use of contrasting colours can undoubtedly be exciting, but opting for similar shades ensures a calmer atmosphere. In this case, the decision will also depend very much on the subjective taste and character of the person using the room.
Modern palettes for colouring girls' rooms
When choosing colours to use in the home, it should not be forgotten that modern palettes offer a much wider and more interesting variety of options for girls’ bedrooms. Colours such as mint, coral and grey are increasingly being used to create a contemporary style, but consider using neutral furniture and accessories to maintain a modern and elegant look.
To maintain flexibility over time, for example, it is advisable to use furniture in neutral tones such as white or grey, or with the natural effect of wood, aiming for customisation with more colourful details such as blankets, cushions or stickers and wall decorations. One idea could also be to introduce furniture in neutral tones on the outside while recalling the brighter colours on the inside. This approach, in addition to being visually striking from the outset, makes it easy and less expensive to update the room over the years, adapting it as the girls grow.
Choosing colours according to age
Interior designers and interior design experts also take into consideration another important aspect when it comes to children and young people, namely the age of the person using the room. While growing up, in fact, little ones face many changes and it can be useful to have an approach to colours that takes into account the specificities of each phase of life.
For younger girls, for example, it is always preferable to opt for bright and cheerful colours, as they are useful for stimulating creativity and positive energy, perhaps even enriching the environment with decorations and other elements that allow them to travel with their imagination.
As the girls grow older, a transition to more relaxing shades such as lilac, turquoise or teal can instead foster a calm and comfortable environment. These colours can be applied to walls, fabrics and accessories, as a backdrop for neutral-coloured furnishings that are well suited to any context.
Combining furniture and wall colours
The latest trends in the furniture industry are moving away from traditional, often bright and vibrant palettes to embrace more sober and relaxing tones. Walls are now tinged with neutral or pastel colours, creating a serene and relaxing environment that grows with its young tenant. These tones, ranging from delicate beige to powder pink, from powder blue to sage green, allow greater freedom in the choice of accessories and fabrics, providing an ideal frame for expressing personality and evolving style.
The choice of fabrics
Other elements to focus on are textiles, which allow you to add colour immediately, without having to commit to permanent changes. Carpets, curtains, blankets and cushions are versatile and quick ways to introduce colour into the room, also adapting to different times of the year – for example light shades in spring/summer and warmer colours in autumn/winter – and to the emotions of the moment.
In addition to textiles, finally, much can be done with accessories and furnishings, e.g. personal items, picture frames, soft toys and any other element that, integrated into the environment, goes to define even more precisely the world of its young guest.
Choosing colours for a girl’s bedroom can, in short, be an exciting process, an activity that, starting with colour theory and ending with the most practical ideas, leads to the creation of a space that will grow together with the young women of the house, offering them a perfect refuge for playing, studying and dreaming. One of the central tips, however, remains to involve the girl in the decision-making process, so as to ensure that her bedroom truly reflects her personality.
