Painting Children’s Bedrooms and Playrooms

DIY Tips & How To Expert Advice & Painting Ideas

Creating a vibrant, safe, and functional space for your children can feel like a balancing act. You want colours that inspire creativity and calm, while ensuring the space remains safe and easy to maintain. With Haymes Paint, Australia’s largest family-owned paint brand, you can trust nearly 90 years of experience in crafting innovative, eco-friendly paints. Whether you’re worried about paint fumes, stubborn marks, or durability, we’re here to guide you in creating a space your child will love. 

Creating a Safe and Functional Space for Your Kids

Children’s bedrooms and playrooms are high-traffic zones, prone to spills, scribbles, and plenty of wear and tear. But there’s a hidden factor that’s often overlooked: paint safety.

Many traditional paints release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), harmful gases that linger long after painting. For young children, who spend much of their time indoors, exposure to VOCs can be a health risk. That’s why choosing 99% free-VOC paints like Haymes Paint Expressions® Interior, with 99% VOC-free formulation, is essential to creating a safe environment.

Beyond safety, durability matters. From crayon masterpieces to juice spills, walls endure plenty of action. Haymes Paint’s range of washable, scuff-resistant paints makes clean-ups quick and keeps your walls looking fresh, so you can spend less time worrying and more time enjoying your space.

What to Consider When Choosing Paint for Children’s Spaces

Choosing the right paint for your child’s room is about more than just picking the perfect colour. Here’s what to prioritise:

  • Low VOC Levels: Prioritise paints with minimal emissions for safer air quality. Expressions® Interior is 99% VOC-free, ensuring cleaner air for your family.
  • Washability: Life with kids means spills and marks. Opt for washable paints like Haymes Paint Eggshell, which can remove 80% of stains with just one wipe.
  • Durability: Select paints that can handle scuffs and scrapes without losing their finish, ensuring walls look fresh for years.
  • Colour Customisation: From calming pastels to bold primary shades, Haymes Paint offers an extensive colour range, letting you create a room that reflects your child’s personality.

By focusing on these features, you’ll create a space that’s beautiful, practical, and built to last.
