4 ways to use stripes in your child’s bedroom
Discover how to use simple stripes for a creative and colourful space that your little one will love.
Whether it’s making a statement with contrasting colours, vertically splitting space for siblings, or simply calming with softer shades – stripes are a versatile and playful way to bring a kid’s room to life.
Read on for a few bright ideas, then watch our quick how-to video for painting simple stripes.
Variety with vertical lines
If your children are sharing a space and have different ideas for the colour they want, use stripes to stylishly divide the room. This will give both siblings a space to call their own.

Child’s study with green stripes
Carve out a zone of your child’s bedroom with a bold stripe to create their very own mini craft area. Why not use any leftover to create matching furniture?
A shade of green in a space devoted to creativity can be both energising and refreshing – the perfect setting to develop their artistic flair!
Feel like giving some other shapes a go? Take a look at what you can do with circles and geometric shapes.
Every child loves bedtime stories, so create a snuggly nook for that special time. Select a colour or two that will stand out against your wall. If you’ve got neutral walls, go bright and if you’ve got darker shades, go light. The result? A striking pattern that will add depth and create a perfect spot to curl up together.
