White kids' room: how to decorate

White is the brightest base there is — it opens rooms up, reflects daylight and lets everything else show. The secret is texture, or it turns sterile.

How white works in the kids' room

In the kids' room, white gives a calm, flexible base that easily changes character with textiles and art.

Keep in mind what's specific to this room: playful without the chaos — muted tones last longer. That decides how much colour can show and where it does the most good.

Colours that pair well with white

White goes with everything, but comes alive against wood, black for contrast and one muted accent. Warm whites feel cosy, cool whites sharp.

Materials and details

Wood, linen, wool and rattan save white from feeling bare; matte surfaces are warmer than glossy.

The most common mistake

An all-white room with no texture or warmth turns clinical. Mix white tones and add natural materials.

See white in the kids' room — before you paint

The hard thing about colour is that it looks completely different in different light and rooms. Instead of gambling on a tin of paint: upload a photo of the kids' room and type "repaint the kids' room in white". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
