Painting one wall in a kid’s bedroom brown creates an accent wall that leaves room for a bright and airy aesthetic. This suggestion highlights the bed and leaves the remaining walls open for hanging décor. Decorations that match brown and work well in a kid’s bedroom include safari, camping and rustic themes. Painting a headboard over the brown accent wall saves you money and improves the room’s decorative elements. Another benefit of painting a headboard is your ability to customize its color and features. For instance, a painted beige headboard with a monkey swinging from a vine depicted in the middle blends well with the brown accent wall and livens up the safari appeal.
Paint a large, dark brown tree with branches that reach throughout the room. Leaving branches bare gives the tree a spooky, Harry Potter-like feel and adding leaves or colorful flowers denotes a cheery aspect. Using lighter shades of brown against the tree’s dark base to add details, such as bark and knots, makes the tree look life-like. Extend branches over the ceiling, too, to make the tree look like it is engulfing the room. Hanging pictures and ornaments from the tree’s branches on the walls and on the ceiling enhances the tree’s 3D characteristics.
Brown paint is also suitable for one of the paints in a pattern. Painted brown and beige connecting puzzle pieces gives movement to the room’s décor. Brown circles with alternating sizes and hues is a whimsical bedroom décor. Ideas for decorative circles include large hollow circles with a solid circle in the center and a variety of hollow circles with different thicknesses. Keep the remainder of the room simple so the pattern is the room’s main attraction. Adorn only one wall with movement patterns to prevent a dizzying effect.
Covering all the walls in a kid’s bedroom in dark brown may create a gloomy atmosphere; therefore, choose a medium to light brown for coating the entire room. A chair rail, which is molding situated horizontally through the center of all the walls in the room, is another option for aesthetically lightening an all-brown kid’s bedroom and creating movement and focal points. A strip of paint either lighter or darker than the wall colors can replace a wood chair rail. Chair rails are not necessary for rooms with designs painted on the walls because a focal point is already established.
