DIY Kid's room makeover

Want to add a pop of color and create cozy, defined spaces in your child’s room? This DIY project is your perfect solution—simple, quick, and budget-friendly! Let’s dive into this exciting project and give your kid’s room a fresh new look. Our goal is to create a colorful and defined space for each sleeping area in a child's room.

Materials Needed:

Bubble level
Pencil
Painter's tape
2 brushes (one for white paint, one for the color)
2 rollers (one for white paint, one for the color)
White paint
Colored paint (I picked a lovely green)

Step-by-Step

Step 1: Mark the Area to Paint

Draw Your Lines: Using the bubble level, draw a straight line at 120cm from the floor and another 40cm line on the side (adjust dimensions as needed).
Tape It Up: Apply painter's tape along the pencil lines. This will keep your lines crisp and clean.

Step 2: Paint the Base Layer

Prevent Color Bleed: With a simple brush, paint along the edges of the tape with white paint. This will prevent your chosen color from bleeding under the tape.
Dry Time: Allow the white paint to dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Step 3: Add the Color!

Edge It Out: Paint along the edges of the tape with your chosen color.
Roll It On: Use a roller to cover the marked area with the colored paint.
Let It Dry: Follow the drying time indicated on your paint can. (Note: Painting the baseboards in the same color is optional but can add a cohesive look!)

Step 4: Apply a Second Coat

Even Coverage: Once the first coat is dry, apply a second coat of colored paint to ensure even coverage.
Dry Again: Allow the second coat to dry completely.

Step 5: The Big Reveal!

Peel Off the Tape: Carefully remove the painter’s tape to reveal your beautiful, clean lines.
Admire Your Work: Step back and admire your fantastic paint job!

To complete the look, I added matching bedding to tie in the new color. The result? A cozy and stylish room where each child has their own special space.
