If you have been following my blog you know I am a part time interior designer and FULL time Mom! Often my personal home projects go slow but that's life. I am always thinking of new projects to complete and dreaming of time to do them (and when my husband is available to help me with the kids).
First Step: When I begin a child bedroom design I always look for an inspiration piece first and foremost. Usually I browse online and in stores for reasonably priced, patterned, and quality bedding. In the past, I have designed custom bedding for adults but not for kids rooms. At this stage in my kids young lives I am not willing to spend money on custom bedding. Once I find a set I love my mind is racing with ideas. I am inspired by the color and pattern of bedding.
I have an architectural paint chip set from Sherwin Williams. I have an account there and like their paint so that is where I buy most of my wall paint.
Second Step: I pull out the colors I want to focus on. I try to match them up and see if the line of paint offers me the right hue.
I want hot pink accents so this one will work.
I want light pink so this one will work with the hot pink one.Of course more to come on this room. I have completed the paint selection. Keep checking back to see where I go with this next...Furniture!!
Great tips. Pick out paint can always be so challenging.
