“We’ll be seeing a lot more gender neutral colours being incorporated in the kid’s room with lilacs, greens, yellows and browns being the go-to colours. It is also likely that the designs for kid’s rooms are going to be less thematic. Keeping the shell of the room neutral allows for the use of prints, while adding colours to the space through art, accessories and rugs. This in turn optimizes the usage of the room for a longer period of time while the child’s sense of style and his/her requirements change in regards to the space.” ~Disha Bhavsar and Shivani Ajmera, Principal Designers and Co-Founders, Quirk Studio

“There are some interesting colour combinations which are fun and bring in character to a child’s bedroom. Yellow can be used as an accent colour, mixed with black or dark blue. Also the pastel colour family can create softer, calmer ambience. Opt for calmer versions of dusty pinks, salmon or aqua. Cool neutrals and earthy shades can be paired with more colourful accessories or interesting patterns. In that way you can successfully create a versatile and long-lasting design that will grow with your child.” ~Joanna Landais, Founder, Eklektik Studio

“Kid’s room should not be restricted to any particular set of colours, rather it should be a space that can grow and transform along with the child. So the choices of materials that are chosen for this space have to be flexible enough to accommodate this. Any set of cheer-y pastel colours should be fun when combined to create visually and mentally engaging, imaginative patterns and prints in space. Moreover, white creates an empty canvas waiting to be filled and combined with any colour, texture or material to keep things changing and transforming over a very long period of time.” ~Divya Khullar Narayanan, Principal Designer, 1405 Design Studio

For beginners the key is to maintain a balance in the amount of pastels that are incorporated into any space. A few pastel accents that match well with the other elements in the space can create the desired magic

For a monochromatic pastel look, incorporate shades from the same colour scheme without allowing them to be identical to each other in order to provide dimension without being overpowering
