10 Playroom Kid's Space Color Theme Ideas

Step up your kids’ space with one of these fresh, stylish color schemes.

1.  Confetti Color

"Who doesn’t like a little confetti, right?!" says J&J Design Group’s Joanna Gick, who can't get enough of those adorable dots. "They were the perfect lead to pull in all the colors of the furniture and pillows," Gick says. If you’re a fan of rainbow color, consider wall decals like these to tie your colorful space together.

2.  Bumblebee Inspired


This color scheme takes cues from everyone’s favorite pollinator. Clean white brightens the fun, black-and-yellow palette. Add more playful colors to the mix for a youthful feel, or keep it a bit more sophisticated with just the three.

3.  Navy + White

This pairing is noteworthy in that it can feel completely kidlike or totally grownup, depending on how you decorate. This is a major plus for those of us who are all about a quick decor update — but not so much a remodel. Here, colorful "PLAY" letters ensure this space leans more toward a kid-friendly aesthetic. Designer Joanna Gick of J&J Design Group says the multicolored letters serve as a great juxtaposition to the navy-and-white striped walls.

4.  Retro Flair

Deep teal and hot pink create major '80s vibes, especially when paired with graphic patterns. This color combination is the perfect choice for kids with spunk; the vibrant, punchy colors offer a launch pad for creativity. Deep navy and bright white work great to ground the palette.

5.  City Chic

 A classic black-and-white color scheme is chic and timeless, and while it works anywhere, it’s oh-so-fitting for downtown digs. Play up the urban feel with a cityscape decal or skyscraper playhouse. Bold, graphic patterns also work well. A major plus for this palette? It can grow with your kid, eliminating the need to paint every few years.

6.  Super Hero-Inspired


 
 Designers Joanna Gick and Jennifer O'Dowd of J&J Design Group based the colors for this room on a peppy, super hero-print bedding. Gick suggests the palette of Kelly green, navy and red for any super hero-inspired space. She also suggests a cityscape wall mural as the perfect backdrop for this type of design.

7.  Zoo Whimsy

 Black and white is a pairing so lovable, it deserves a second mention. Instead of taking cues from the city, though, this play space takes a more whimsical approach. Zoo animals bring the classic combo to life, making the otherwise harsh contrast feel exciting and kid friendly. To get this look, embrace dainty lines and quirky accents — and don’t be afraid to incorporate small touches of soft color.

8.  Citrus Hues

Looking to infuse your kids’ space with energy? Citrus hues are the way to go. Here, grapefruit, lemon and tangerine tones offer zingy personality to the light-filled space. Clean white pairs well with the fresh-squeezed palette.

9.  Stormy Blues

When aiming for a more sophisticated kids’ space, try choosing deep, subdued color tones, like the moody blues in this toddler’s nook. Use a variation of the same color to keep your space interesting, and balance that color with a calming neutral. 

10. Very Berry

Raspberry pairs with blueberry for a delectable combination in this girl’s room. Designer Sara Touijer says the pairing works well thanks to the purple undertones found in the two colors. When working with this palette, be sure to incorporate plenty of texture for richness and warmth.
