Painting Kid Rooms & Colors To Paint A Room

2008-04-25T09:09:00.000-07:00

Painting kid rooms is a fun, easy and inexpensive way to update children’s bedrooms. When it comes to choosing colors to paint a room, involve your child in the decision making process by showing him all six colors of the rainbow.

Once your child chooses one or two of the following colors: red, yellow, orange, blue, green, or purple, supply her with paint chips that show her the choices within the color family she picked ranging from light to dark. 'Discover more info below on choosing kid room colors and what colors to paint a room based on your child's personal experiences and interests.

Before painting kid rooms, you’re smart to consider the affect kid room colors may have on your child as different colors may have varying psychological and physical affects on him. You see, maturity, cultural influences, personal experiences and interests, light and even physical makeup are just a few of the elements that influence how an individual will respond to a color.

Let’s look at physical makeup and maturity for a moment. When a baby is born he sees only black, white and gray. Within a week or so he can see red and begins to reach out to the color as it helps him develop his perception skills. Since children see red before blue it’s best to decorate a baby room using soft tones instead of bright primary colors as they may confuse his sensory skills and overwhelm him. As a result, kid room paint colors and the particular colors to paint a room should be well thought out prior to giving birth.

For many, the brightest of reds for example, may represent a loud, unsettling color that makes focusing on a task difficult, for others it could provide a sense of comfort and security since they relate it to a favorite stuffed friend or blanket. So no matter what our age, we relate to colors based on personal experiences and interests.

Kid room paint colors in general and deciding on what colors to paint a room need not be overwhelming. All that's required is a little forethought and some fundamental knowledge from which to base your kid room colors on.

The youngest of children aren’t yet affected by the cultural influences of color. Even though adults have had more experiences with color, we may not all respond the same. For example, for many in the world white represents purity but in Japan it represents mourning and death.

Finally, colors can have healing effects on the body. Simply put, colors match, respond to and support certain body functions. I’ve seen this in action myself when my boys were born, one prematurely, requiring blue light treatment for jaundice. Hence, kid room paint colors should be selected for the positive effect they have on your child.

J.L. Morton, color consultant & founder of Colormatters.com writes "Babies cry more in yellow rooms, couples fight more in yellow kitchens and opera singers throw more tantrums in yellow dressing rooms.”

Ro Logrippo reveals in her book “In My Room,” yellow responds to the chest, heart and lungs. She states, “Children with asthma and other breathing problems react most favorably to yellow.”

Could it be that for most people, yellow stimulates these areas the body, providing healing powers to people with related illnesses but has an over-stimulating effect on healthy individuals?

At any rate, when choosing kid room paint colors, these issues create a great reason to encourage your child to choose his own kid room colors.

When choosing colors to paint a room, you may consider the following ways we tend to respond to various colors but remember, just like you respond differently to various types of music and sound levels, the same will be true of each individual’s color preferences. Because of this any kid room colors you select should reflect your child's personality.

Color Meaning, Color Psychology & Color Therapy:

Warm Colors

Found on the red side of the color wheel, warm colors have a tendency to communicate warmth, intimacy and relaxation. These colors seem to advance closer to the viewer creating a sense of closeness and comfort. However, intense warm colors such as reds and oranges tend to stimulate and excite the viewer.If your child is warm and affectionate herself and if she loves to read or just relax in her room, you may consider suggesting she base her kid room colors on something from the red side of the color wheel.

Cool Colors

Found on the blue side of the color wheel, cool colors have a calming affect although intensely cool colors (very dark) have a tendency to depress the viewer. Cool colors tend to draw away from the viewer, which is likely why some respond to cool colors with a sense of coolness and reserve. Painting kid rooms, light cool colors such as blue green, light blue, blue-violet and even white have a calming effect and make rooms feel more spacious and elegant.

Earth Tones

Ground colors like grays, browns, and beige (muted yellows) ground you. They are a good choice for hyperactive children, creating a sense of warmth, comfort and relaxation.

Muted ground colors are best. Just look outside for examples of the browns and grays found in squirrels, trees, and the earth. (Since I’m from Prince Edward Island, Canada the rusty red color found in the soil has a grounding effect for me but it may not produce the same reaction for those in other areas of the world.)

Black

Black is best used sparingly if at all. Traditionally it represents darkness, despair, sorrow and mourning and subconsciously it is strongly associated with death. When it is used in large amounts it absorbs light and it can generate depression and/or zap the energy out of the viewer.

While discussing painting kid rooms, teens often mention black as a color choice. (I know my teenager and his friends did.) For them it’s creates a sense of mystery and modern style. The style they want to communicate can still be reached using black in restricted amounts, as accents or accessories. That said, black should not be used in large amounts, especially in rooms that are used frequently.

White

White predominately represents peace, faith, joy, cleanliness and of course, purity. Since it reflects almost 80% of light, white rooms seem brighter and larger than rooms painted in other colors. However, if you’re painting kid rooms predominately white, have lots of stain remover on hand. White is also a great anchor color that can be enhanced with other fun kid room colors.

Red

If you’re looking to create a sense of peace when finished painting kid rooms, you may not get it if you choose to use large amounts of red in the room. While reds can create a sense of warmth, they also stimulate and energize the viewer. The brightest of reds can increase desire, excitability and are associated with danger, passion, anger and tension. Used to counterbalance neutral colors, it can add life and sparkle in a kid room.

Orange

Yes, it has some of the same effects as red but to a lesser degree as it combines the energy of red with the happiness of yellow. Brownish oranges create warm, cozy vibes while brighter oranges are fun and lively, and a good choice for play rooms. The brightest of oranges are non-relaxing while softer oranges are warm, welcoming, satisfying and add energy to the room.

Green

Said to reinforce self-esteem and suggest hope, restfulness and calmness, green is a refreshing color that makes dim rooms seem more vibrant as long as it’s not too dark.

Use it on its own or to create a sense of relief as you counterbalance it with hot colors like red and orange.

Blue

Blue often signifies harmony, loyalty, peace, depth of feeling, sensitivity, wisdom, confidence and stability. It’s a great bedroom color as it slows the human nervous system and produces a calming effect that prepares the body to nod off to sleep.
It can soften bright rooms, making one feel comforted and at peace. On the other hand, certain blues can make the viewer feel cold. Blues that are too dark have the same effect as black.

Purple

Combining the stability of blue and the energy of red, violet can take on the characteristics of blue or red depending on the shade. Often it’s considered a risky, powerful color as the feelings it evokes depend on the shade. Traditionally it signifies royalty, power, justice, nobility and luxury yet it is also associated with depression and suffering. Dark purple can evoke feelings of sadness and frustration while lighter purples can make the viewer feel peaceful, romantic and nostalgic. Light purple is a good choice for feminine kid rooms.

Yellow

Stimulates, energizes and is sunny and cheerful. Pale yellows make rooms seem larger while stronger yellows create warmth and brighten dim rooms. If overused it may be disturbing to the viewer. It tends to grab attention and stimulate muscle activity.

Born An Explorer!

2007-11-13T00:51:00.000-08:00

The babies are born explorers and are curious to every new thing that they see, hear, taste or touch and it is a wonderful experience to study their eager eyes and ever-ending curiosity to things that have become almost a second habit with us. Many-a-times we wonder how come we don't even acknowledge the existence of many of these things while these small eyes and hands get so excited about them that they almost burst with happiness and apprehension about every thing that crosses their path for the first time. The arrival of a train or noises of the airplanes flying above our homes are enough to fill our little boys and girls with wonder. Here are some interesting things and reactions that newborn babies and infants do and give from the very first week of their lives that you are likely to witness:

In early learning phases, the reflexes and innate survival mechanisms of the baby are the most dominant ones that you will witness.
Even a newborn baby blinks the eyes, when you flash light on them. Do not overdo it or you may hurt the little eyes.
Stroking the cheeks of newborn babies make them seek your finger that they try to suck as if to feed on it.
If you hold the baby from under their arms in upright positions and there is no hard, solid ground for them to rest their legs, they often move their legs frantically to look for the support that will eventually develop as walking skills.
Babies tend to hold everything tightly that is put in their hands from your fingers to carrots and to coins. When they become a little older, they will try to clutch on everything and put it in their mouth to taste it. One needs to pay attention that there are no small or sharp-edged things near the babies in this phase so that they won't choke on them or hurt themselves.
A sudden noise that startles the baby will get them to shoot out their arms and legs to grasp the mom's dress to feel secure and if unable to find it, would curl himself or herself like a ball in a fetal position.
Tracking moving things and sounds with eyes are some other reactions that kids give that indicate early learning phases of more complex and advanced skills.
Imitating your facial expression such as sticking out tongue and raising eyebrows are the favorite kid actions enjoyed by parents. Smiles and loving expressions and rude and angry expressions are all learnt from parents, so be careful how you act and react in front of your babies and toddlers.

The Do's And Don'ts For All Zodiac Signs

2006-06-03T12:31:00.000-07:00

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)
DO'S
Aries are naturally active and vibrant people and they tend to like such people too. You will have to increase your pace to be in step with them. They like and appreciate frank and straightforward persons. With them you can be your true self (but don't try your luck being over frank-they are volatile). If you are in love with an Arian, then you have to show your enthusiasm in all their activities (you can always yawn later!).
DON'TS
Do not tell an Aries that s/he may be wrong. Any such statement may stir a storm in a teacup. Aries are very faithful and passionate lovers. Do not give air to the smoldering fire within them by making them jealous. No flirtation or fooling around with others in their presence unless of course you wish to write your death wish (you will be granted!).

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20)
DO'S
Stability and dependability characterize Taurus. They like people who can blend and grow with them. If you have a Taurus partner you should appreciate all things bright and beautiful. They have an inherent artistic sense and are fond of color and music. Judge life with them from a purely materialistic point of view. Enjoy everything luxurious that money can provide. Enjoy good food (better if you can cook to please them) and good drinks with them.
DON'TS
Taurus do not loose their temper easily (in fact you may spend the whole life with them and still no spark) but you should not push your luck too much. Being unreasonable or aggressive with them may get you into trouble. Do not press him/her into a corner, and if you do, be prepared for a violent rage. Taurus is capable of violent outbursts though such an event is is very rare occasions. They can be suffocating when they are possessive about you.

Gemini (May 21 - June 21)
DO'S
Gemini is a highly intellectual and versatile person. If you have a Gemini partner you have to match your wits with his/her wits to keep the zing in the relationship. They want to be mentally stimulated so you have to be good at conversing. Your sense of humor will get you a permanent residence in the heart of a Gemini. Be more communicative with them, and if you are good at this, you will never know how hours pass by holding each other's hand.
DON'TS
Gemini's like to do many things at the same time, so if unfortunately you are the type who is looking for stability you may get disappointed. Do not hold back a Gemini or you may lose him/her, as they are restless and need change in life constantly. You should try to adopt yourself with the ever-changing Gemini. Orthodox or conservative old fashion ideas are no-no in their dictionary. Change with the ever-changing Gemini and do not flow against the current.

Cancer (Jun22 - July 22)
DO'S
Try to adapt yourself with the changing moods of the Cancer. At one moment they may be laughing and enjoying and in another they may sulk. You may have to adjust with the moody and sensitive Cancer. They are like the tides in the ocean, always fluctuating. Cancerians love food, so if you know how to cook and can be poetic and romantic (added Bonus) then you know the way to their heart.
DON'TS
Cancerians are very sensitive people and can get easily hurt. So do not play with their emotions and sentiments. They are like tides that can sweep you along. They form emotional bonds with even inanimate things, so do not ask them to discard old caps or souvenirs. Such things hold special meaning to them. You have to realize that the crabs have a soft heart and are vulnerable. Do not contradict their tested line of thought and action, it would only lead to confusion.

Leo (July 23 - Aug 22)
DO'S
If you have Leo partner respect him and his majestic manners. Accept the advice of Leo, the lion, as he is the king of the jungle. It is the sign of a showman, so if your partner does everything in grand style enjoy it. They fall easily for flattery and want to be center of attraction of all eyes (sometimes they can be quiet theatrical too).
DON'TS
Never ever hurt the ego of a Leo. Pride, ego and vanity are some of the bags Leo's always carry with them. Do not touch these bags. An authoritative Leo is even more difficult to handle in such circumstances. Leo is a sunny sign so they do not like people who are gloomy or depressed. Even if you are crying at heart keep a sunny smile on your lips and then let the lion take charge and remove all worries from your life.

Virgo (Aug 23 - Sept22)
DO'S
Virgo's are very methodical and have a great sense of duty. However, they are blind to their own faults. So, if you have a Virgo partner emphasize more on their qualities. Take keen interest in what they are doing and you will realize that they will go out of their way to help you. Do rely and appreciate their mental powers rather than their physical powers. They can turn even an unsuccessful venture into a success.
DON'TS
Do not push a Virgo into limelight or on the center stage unless of course they do so on their own. They are shy and reserved by nature and do not like to be the cynosure of all eyes. Virgo's have secrets that they would not like to bring out in the open. So, even if you have the key to their secret skeleton-closet, hide it; do not even admit that you know anything about it. Virgo, the virgins, do not want to tarnish their public image.

Libra (Sep 22 - Oct 23)
DO'S
Librans need peace and harmony in all their relationships, so help them maintain that. Venus, the ruling planet, gives them beauty and they have weakness for people who can compliment them about their beauty (you will not have to make an effort to do that anyway). You can help Libra seek union and partnership in life. If you have a Libra partner you can be sure to share beautiful and pleasurable moments together.
DON'TS
Libra is kind and gentle soul but very argumentative. Hence, do not start an argument or discussion unless, of course, you are free and do not know how to pass your time. They hate to lose and most probably during an argument may change sides too (remember scales can tilt) and still continue arguing from the other side. Do not push your Libra partner into making decisions. They will keep weighing pros and cons and may still not be able to come to any decision. Have patience !

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)
DO'S
Scorpio's are full of passion and zest for life. They have tremendous drive that can involve you too. Tune in to their wavelength and you can enjoy the harmony and music of life with them. Scorpio's are loyal and never forget a kind deed done by you. If you want to enjoy life with your Scorpio lover, share their passion and intensity and you will be fascinated by how beautiful life can be with them.
DON'TS
Scorpio's are very passionate and intense but they are also fiercely possessive and would like to possess your mind, body and soul. Do not let seeds of jealousy grow in them because then you may have to suffer agonies of jealousy and discontentment in life. Scorpio's have explosive tempers be careful how you handle them. They never let anyone know what is going on in their mind till they strike and you may be caught unaware. Do not flirt around in the presence of your Scorpio lover.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21)
DO'S
Sagittarius is basically a happy go lucky kind. You can enjoy with them their zest and enthusiasm for life. They bubble with excitement. And if you share the same interests and hobbies, life can be great fun together. They are frank and straightforward so if you want some truthful opinion about anything or anyone go to them. Be optimistic as they are and view life as glass half full.
DON'TS
Sagittarius is fiercely independent and cannot tolerate restriction. Hence, do not try to hold them back in life. Let them enjoy their freedom because if you hold any special place in their heart they will always come back for you. Do not feel irritated by the exaggeration in their speech. They may go on and on, talking about certain things that may not even interest you, but its their way of trying to communicate with you. They are basically frank and outspoken (to the point of being rude), so do not feel offended by their talks.

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20)
DO'S
Capricornians are strong and dependable. Hence, if you want to put your money on anyone it is of course this zodiac sign. They are practical and conservative in their outlook and they expect you to blend in their color. They set certain standards for themselves in their life and they will always try to maintain those standards. For them social status and image is very important in life.
DON'TS
Do not expect a Capricorn mate to open his/her heart and pour everything to you. They are very secretive and reserved people. They are very thorough in all their affairs and hate any kind of sloppiness. People born under this zodiac are very tight-fisted and economical. Do not expect lavish gifts from them and if they do give you any gift (that is very rare) it will have some practical use (no romance please) but that does not mean you will be deprived of anything; on the contrary you will be well provided.

Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 21)
DO'S
Aquarius are friendly and fascinating people. They have in-depth knowledge about various subjects and you can converse with them for hours without getting bored. They are capable of giving a lot of love that can be amazing. They have a very broad outlook of life and you can relax in their presence. They will always welcome your ideas and actions about humanitarian causes. To keep an Aquarius lover interested you must possess that mysterious and intriguing quality. Once hooked they will always be very faithful to you.
DON'TS
Do not expect or plan a normal, simple and predictable life with an Aquarius partner. Aquarians are totally unpredictable. They can go to any direction without giving any advance notice. They are basically very restless and get bored easily. Though they are very friendly, do not expect them to reveal their inner most feelings to you (they never will). They can be detached and impersonal, which may seem strange to others.

Pisces (Feb 22 - Mar 21)
DO'S
Pisceans are sensitive and charming. If you are looking for someone who is understanding and can understand your feelings then you have met the right person. You should appreciate their feelings too, as in your time of need they are sure to help you. Pisces have a keenly developed sixth sense and have great intuitive powers. Their hunches may usually be right on mark. But they can exhaust their physical and mental energies. They are born dreamers and you can build palaces with your dream lover (only in real life it may become a little difficult preposition).
DON'TS
Pisces are dreamers and you should not expect them to have worldly ambitions. They are not materialistic in nature. It is not that they like living below the poverty line but they have no earnest desire to accumulate wealth. They are very sensitive and you have to be always careful about their feelings. The fishes are capable of drowning you in their tears (even men born under this sign
