Mood-Boosting Colours for Children’s Rooms
How colourful wallpaper can lift mood, creativity and calm
Colour plays a powerful role in how children experience their spaces. From boosting creativity to creating calm, the right colour palette can completely transform a room - emotionally as well as visually.
This February, we’re exploring mood-boosting colours for children’s rooms, styled through three curated mood boards. Each one is built around one of our colourful children’s wallpapers, showing how thoughtful colour choices can shape happy, imaginative spaces.
Why colour matters in children’s interiors
Children respond instinctively to colour, pattern and texture. In nurseries and kids’ bedrooms, colour can influence mood, energy levels and even a sense of comfort and security.
When designing our children’s wallpaper, we consider how colours feel throughout the day, how they grow with a child, and how they balance playfulness with longevity. The goal is always the same: to create spaces that feel joyful, calming and inspiring.
Calm but cheerful children’s rooms
Colour doesn’t need to be bold to be mood-boosting.
This softer palette, built around Jolly Jester, combines gentle hues with natural textures to create a calm, balanced children’s room. The result is a space that feels soothing yet cheerful — perfect for nurseries, quiet corners and winding down at the end of the day.
Joyful and energising colour palettes
Bright, warm colours are known to encourage energy, confidence and creativity.
This mood board, styled with our Scallop Stripe Wallpaper, layers uplifting tones and playful accents to create a space that feels happy and imaginative without being overwhelming. It’s ideal for playrooms and children’s bedrooms where creativity and movement are part of everyday life.
Bold, playful and full of personality
For families who love expressive colour, this palette celebrates confident design choices.
Set against Circus Stripe, bold tones and layered textures create a playful children’s room that feels full of life while remaining considered and timeless. This approach allows colour to grow with your child, rather than feeling outgrown too quickly.
Using colour to create happy children’s spaces
Whether you’re updating a nursery, redesigning a child’s bedroom or simply gathering inspiration, colour has the power to shape how a space feels and functions.
By choosing colourful wallpaper for children’s rooms, you’re creating more than a design feature, you’re setting the mood for play, rest and imagination.
