In this article, we chose to focus on these three colors: Mocha, Mint, and Beige, because they create a perfect blend of warmth and freshness while maintaining a modern and pleasant look. Of course, you can design with any color palette you choose. It is important to refine your color choices before starting the design process and decide in advance on at least 3 main colors to be incorporated into the room. In addition, it's very advisable to create a balanced division between the colors to achieve a calming and pleasant effect.

For example, this is the color division according to the shades we chose for the article:

• Beige (50%): Base color for walls and ceiling. Creates a sense of space and cleanliness in the room and serves as a perfect backdrop for the other elements.
• Mocha (30%): Suitable for central furniture like a bed, dresser, or shelves. Adds warmth and texture to the space.
• Mint (20%): Color for small and refreshing touches like pillows, curtains, rugs, or decorative items. Mint color gives a sense of lightness and balance to warm colors.

1. Choosing the Wall Color

The wall shades are the foundation of the room's design. Mocha and Beige provide a pleasant and calm backdrop, while Mint can serve as an accent color adding lightness and freshness. The right combination of colors will create the perfect atmosphere that will accompany the child throughout the day and night.

Practical Tips:

• Choose a light Mocha or Beige shade as the main wall color. This will create a warm and pleasant feeling.
• Paint one wall ("accent wall") in Mint, or add graphic elements in this shade, like geometric shapes, clouds, or characters kids love.
• Use intermediate tones, like cream-white, for additional harmonious integration between the colors.
• Use natural colors, free of toxic substances. Check if the paint is washable to maintain a fresh look over time.

2. Furniture in Natural Shades

To emphasize the pleasant colors, choose furniture made of wood in natural shades, like Oak or Pine, which complement the wall colors and add organic warmth to the space. If you choose white furniture, combine accessories made of natural wood to soften the look.

Practical Tips:

• Integrate a children's bed with a natural wood frame or painted in warm white.
• Add a cabinet or shelves in Beige or white shade.
• Decide on one Mint-colored element to add a splash of color. This could be a storage unit for toys, for example.
• Ensure the furniture is at the child's height, to allow easy access and encourage independence.
• Choose furniture with rounded corners for maximum safety.

3. Textiles and Bedding

Quality textiles in the right shades add softness and connect the room to create a complete and inviting look.

Practical Tips:

• Choose smooth and bright curtains in a light shade.
• Decorative pillows in varying colors and textures, according to our chosen color palette, will enhance the overall look and add interest.
• Prefer natural fabrics, like cotton or linen, that are pleasant to touch and suitable for sensitive skin. This ensures both comfort and health.
