bit.ly ► Nadia's tips on choosing the right kitchen paint colors: ○ Picking Colors and Materials - Go with warm tones that compliment your cabinets - Get color inspiration from the foods you regularly leave on display - Consider wallpaper - Get funky with chalkboard paint ○ Getting Creative - Paint your ceiling - Paint your wood or concrete floors - Get a professional cabinet painter - Create a pattern with stenciling ○ Using the Right Paint Type - Use a semi-gloss finish for easy clean-up - Go green with environmental friendly paints for little to no smell More Tips: ○ Deciding on a color scheme First, decide on the tone you're going for, cool or warm. If you're keeping your cabinets as they are, this may dictate your direction. For instance, warm wood tones go really great with blue and green colors, but if you have dark brown, black, or white kitchen cabinets you can go with any paint scheme. Be sure to keep in mind the color of your kitchen tile and your flooring. You wouldn't want a paint color for your kitchen walls that clashes. ○ Visualize your kitchen color scheme ideas with 3D design software If you are painting the walls, a home and kitchen design program such as Homestyler can save you a lot of time and money. You can create 3D designs of your kitchen and experiment with everything, including paint colors, so you can play with swatches in the program before you buy samples of paint. You can even look up a specific color from the paint manufacturer's ...

The basic concept or idea behind painting a kids room is to make it more lively and a cozy place for the children to spend their time in. The paintings should be such that they entertain the children as well as provide them information about their surroundings. Specialty paints for kid's rooms: • Chalkboard paint - great to use on one of the walls. Kids can write on the wall with chalk and then wipe it off. • Glow in the dark paint - the latest craze among older children and teenagers. You can create pictures of our solar system, dinosaurs, favorite characters, and more by using glow in the dark paint! • Magnetic paint - great to use on one wall or just part of the wall. It is fun way to hang up posters, kid's artwork or memos. • Glitter paint - fun non traditional way to make your kids walls shine. Try for princess room theme and winter room theme. choosing color A great idea is to ask your child what their favorite color is and work around that, using different shades to incorporate that color into the scheme. a.Pastels : Kids rooms look great when you use a variety of pastel colors. b.Plain : You can keep the wall paint neutral by using white, cream or gray but create a feature wall. c.Bold colors: Using blues, reds and pinks depending on whether your child is a boy or girl. Pictures There are many ideas that one can choose from for painting a kids room. Pictures have a great impact on kids and they learn much more through pictorial forms rather than more words. a.Animals : Parents can use these pictures to teach the children about animals. The pictures of wild animals depict some kind of motion or movement. It helps create a lively atmosphere. Kids are fond of such pictures and enjoy having them in their rooms. b.Plants and Flowers:To draw a flower is very easy, and a layman can draw a basic flower shape without much difficulty. One need not be an artist to draw simple structures or parts of a flower like the petals, leaves and stem. Drawing can be made simple with the help of tools and accessories easily available in the house itself. Plates could be used to draw circles. c.Planets Designing a kids room with the planets of our solar system is a good idea. Any new idea or concept introduced to children acts as a trigger for a 'chain reaction' to follow; which means that the kids ask a lot of questions related to the new things they see. It can be termed as a process of building up curiosity in them to guide them to learn new things, and in short makes them think a lot. d.Quotes and Poems Painting the room with poems and nursery rhymes help children in reciting them easily and also develops their interest in further reading. One can write their own quotes which describe or are associated with their children. It helps develop a sense of belonging in children for their rooms. e.Blue Sky A perfect blue sky is an interesting concept that can be implemented for painting a kids room. The blue color has a soothing or calming effect on the mind. Painting the room blue with clouds, a rainbow and birds would create a pleasant atmosphere in a kids room, and is one of the best kids bedroom painting ideas. Themes There are so many great painting themes you can use for children's rooms, all you need is some artistic flare and a little drawing skills. At your local craft shop you can purchase some stencils in various shapes and designs to help a.Transport : Paint cars, buses and trains traveling over hills and city roads. b.Stars : Paint stars around the walls and ceiling using templates. You can use a plain color for the wall and paint the stars in silver and gold. c.Underwater world: Paint dolphins and whales, starfish and other sea creatures on the featured design wall. d.Alphabet : Use letters of the alphabet to create a room surrounded by letters and words. Implement Unique Designs These designs could include an assortment of stripes, checkerboard designs, different colored polka dots and even incorporating a large assortment of different sized diamonds on the walls. Personalize with Letter Stencils You can purchase letter stencils and number stencils in order to place poems and/or nursery rhymes on a wall. You may even elect to incorporate a poem that your child has written in order to create a high level of customization into the room. Art Wall Basically, this involves incorporating large sections of drawing paper and hanging it on a wall in the room. You and your child, your child, or your child and their friends may color, draw, and paint on the paper. When your child is tired of one scene, you can remove the paper and place a new sheet up and create a whole new scene.

The fall tide brings cool mornings, changing trees, and new ideas for creating classroom decorations inspired by autumn. The theme of trees and leaves are central to the fall season and can be re-created in many classroom decorating ideas. Falling for a Classroom Tree Using the themes of trees and leaves to decorate the door of your classroom works really well or if your door does not provide you enough space you can decorate one of the walls in the classroom. The first thing you want to do using either cardboard or brown construction paper is make the trunk and the branches of the tree. You can have the students add detail to the branches and trunk by using paint, colored pencils, or crayons. After you have the branches and the trunk completed it's time to begin making the leaves using brown, orange, red, yellow, and green construction paper. You can even create multi-colored leaves by gluing a couple or several of the colors together to show that the leaves are in the process of changing color. Next, have each child write their name on one of the leaves they created and hang the leaves on the branches of the tree using glue, tape, or staples. If you would like to you can even add more detail to the tree by making birds and cats out of construction paper and hanging them up in the tree. Inspiring with Watercolor Leaves Watercolors, with their soft, dreamy tones and the gentle bleeding of one color into another, lend themselves perfectly to autumn classroom decorating. One simple craft is to invite your students to create large watercolor paintings on both sides of thick paper, allowing them to dry in between Then cut out the watercolor paintings into the shapes of leaves and hang the leaves from the ceiling or tape them to the windows. The watercolor leaves make really cool classroom decorations! You can string together some of the small leaves to make a border for the cork board or chalkboard. Mix the watercolor leaves with construction paper leaves to make the garlands more dynamic. There are also some really nice fall themed bulletin board trimmers you can buy if you would rather do that. If you or your students cut extra large leaves, those can be used as a background for autumn poetry. Decorating With Words Because fall is the time of year when students return to school, a great way to get their minds moving (while also creating classroom decorations) is by brainstorming. Ask them to think of as many words as they can that remind them of autumn. After you have a nice selection of autumn themed words, use large stencils to draw them onto different colored construction paper. The words can then be cut out and put up around the room or used as classroom door decorations. Decorating With Squash and Pumpkins Create a beautiful display by arranging small pumkins, squash or gourds either on shared tables or a side table in the classroom. These veggies will last a long time and bring the bounty of nature into the classroom, as well as enhance your classroom décor with their colorful skins. These classroom decorating ideas will help get you started on creating an autumn classroom cornucopia. Use bright autumn colors combined with leaf and pumpkin themes to make classroom decorating interesting and fun. Involve your students by having them make watercolor paintings, cut leaves, and share inspirational words. |
