It is seen that children relate very well to visual forms and colours. Therefore any kids room should have lots of happy colours, visuals and murals. It is not important to have only cartoons but anything that is happy and bright and colourful. A beautiful happy painting can do wonders. Let your child choose on the painting they want on 'their' walls. This will give them not only a chance to display their choice but also give them a sense of belonging and intimacy. It is very important to give attention to proportions, expressions and colours in any child's room. The overall effect should be what a child can relate to. It is important to see that you do not overdo, as it can again not give the desired result.

Forms and expressions add a lot of warmth to the atmosphere in the room. They add a personal touch. Small things like a hanging butterfly or robins, or maybe just colourful ribbons can make the room very pleasant and calm. As said, it is not important to have only cartoon characters. You can paint forests, rivers, clouds, trees, animals in happy postures, stars, smiling sun, blinking moon, or even smiling birds. You can even ask your child to paint on a wall whatever they feel like and see what a difference their painting can make to their room. Use a lot of life size cutouts. Beams or pillars can be used for compositions like trees, or wood locks or place a huge cutout. Give a character to such standalone areas.

Another important part is to leave some area in the room to be used by the child. Have a drawing board or a soft board where they can create and display.

It has been seen that when children grow, they may not remember the furniture in their room but they do remember the painting on their wall. Also remember that colours play a vital role in effecting a child's psychology. Therefore the use of colours should be very careful. You need to keep their energy levels high and not make them dull or very hyper and anxious.

Murals can create personal warmth in a child's room, which no furniture can. They relate to such murals more than with anything else. It gives them a sense of security and helps them overcome loneliness. It makes them strong and improves their communication. A happy environment is a child's right and our duty to give. In this world of stress, tension and demands, the room becomes our place which we do not share with anyone. So why not make your child's room a happy and welcoming place where he/she can grow into confident happy adults.
