KIDS' ROOM - HOW TO PAINT?
A bedroom, living room or kitchen may be stylishly painted in soft colours, but kids should be given space to foster creativity and develop their imagination. The kids’ room is a place where children sleep, dream, wake up, play, read fairy tales, hide from the world or throw a party for their friends.
A pre-schooler, primary school pupil or teenager should feel well, comfortable and safe in their room. The conditions of their room should be focusing their time and attention on having fun, playing, learning, developing and relaxing.
It would be great if the interior of a room could develop with the child. No 7-year old would keep their toy box from kindergarten, nor would a teenager like seeing a wall photo of them having a bubble bath. The walls however can grow with their interests and tastes, by matching the colours and shades that fit their personality.
DECORATING AS A BASIS FOR SUCCESS
Where to start when preparing a kids’ room?
You can buy an adorable children’s dressing table for your little princess or an Indian teepee play tent for your boy adventurer and even build a bunk bed for the two.
But even the best toys and new furniture will not make up for faded colours on the walls and a dirty ceiling. The first stage of kids room renovation should be redecoration, the fastest and easiest way to change the style of each room. But, before you set out on a shopping expedition to buy paints and painting accessories, ask your children how they imagine their room to be. Not all girls want to sleep in a pink princess castle and not every boy likes to have a poster of his favourite football player hanging on the wall.
Decorating kids’ room to fulfil parents’ expectations, and not letting children express themselves, especially the older ones, seems to be unfair.
Yet, although it is your children, who should make a decision about paint colours. It is the adults who should take a closer look at the paint qualities. But first things first.
SHADES OF BLUE, PINK, BROWN, GREY – ROOMS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS
Styline likes to keep abreast of the latest spring/summer colour trends for kids’ rooms, so we have prepared a few colour compositions that may inspire you and your children. A girl’s room does not have to be pink. But it can and will look nice and cosy, if proper colours are selected to compose with pink.
The wall, where your baby girl cot stands, may be coated with the paint Premium Latex Matt in the shade Pleasant Pink.
At least three tones will match with Pleasant Pink – Coral Burst (slightly darker pink, ideal for the opposite wall), Baby’s Breath (light shade of grey will look perfect on the wall with the window) or Waves of Wheat (warm pastel brown, instead Coral Burst or on the wall with the door).
Why Premium Latex Matt? What makes this high-performance decorative latex paint for walls and ceilings perfect for kids room?
First of all, the paint is a hypoallergenic (which is extremely important when it comes to small children), eco product, free of CMIT/MIT sensitizers, VOC compliant and approved by PZH (National Institute of Hygiene).
It provides durable paint coatings, which are resistant to washing and scrubbing with the majority of standard detergents available. Feeding babies can be a challenge. Do not worry, if you child spits s carrot, pumpkin or beetroot out of their mouth and onto the wall, you can easily wipe it away and the stains will disappear without a trace. Its other qualities are excellent coverage and hiding power, increased resistance to micro cracking, vapour permeability. It is easy to work with and has optimal drying time.
Premium Latex Matt is ideal for kids rooms, but also for living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and halls or corridors – any space that requires a matt finish. A girl will feel good in a room painted in various grey tones and blue as well. We propose a nice composition of four colours available for our Latex Premium paint – Toga (warm grey), King of Kings (dark navy blue), First Thaw (grey with sky-blue) and Lovely Lavender (greyish blue). You do not have to apply all the proposed shades to your walls, you can choose two or three and compose them to make your child feel comfy and cosy in the room.
Something for a boy
Blue prevails among the Styline compositions. You can coat an entire wall with Grand Latex Matt paint in the shade Hill Grey. Almond Biscotti, Sapphire Mist or Cascade Twilight will also look great against it and will stir your child’s imagination. Using additional colours you can paint mountains, seals, waves, clouds or anything you can imagine.
Other interesting compositions could include a wall painted with Moon Flower (this greyish blue colour will give a beautiful background for a white cot) to which the paint Grand Latex Matt Ebony Coast (colour of sanded steel) will make a nice contrast.
Decorations on the wall can be painted using the pale blue tone Brooks Bay or warm pastel brown Waves of Wheat mentioned before.
PAINTING WALLS - STEP BY STEP ...
Preparation of the substrate: G-K boards, finishing coat can be painted after completely drying. Clean the surfaces of dust and dirt, smooth out unevenness and voids with a putty. Before painting, the condition of the substrate should be assessed. Assess whether the substrate is absorbent or not. A simple way to check if the substrate is absorbent: spray the wall with a gentle stream of water, see if the water runs down the wall surface – if it doesn’t, this means that the substrate is not absorbent. In a situation when you see that water has been absorbed into the surface of the wall and a water spot is visible, it means that the substrate is absorbent.
We recommend for absorbent substrates to use our Arylex Primer, and for non-absorbent substrates use our Latex Style Primer
A substrate with dirt should be washed with water and detergent, to remove loose flaky fragments of the old coating. In case of doubts as to the adhesion of the substrate, a self-adhesive tape should be used. If the paint falls off with the tape, remove the entire surface of the paint, and then level the voids with a putty and prime with a penetrating agent – depending on the condition of the substrate (Acrylex Primer or Latex Style Primer).
The next stage of substrate preparation is to protect elements that will not be painted, such as doors, windows, skirting boards. Remember, when using masking tape, to use on a dry surface, and too early removal of the tape will cause the paint to peel off. After securing the elements with tape and foil, the surface of the wall should be primed.
Priming involves applying primer paint to the wall surface. The main purpose of using a primer paint is to standardize the texture of the substrate, ie to bond loose particles on the substrate. An additional plus is improved adhesion and reduced consumption of the topcoat.
The primer should be applied with a brush or roller. After applying the primer, wait 2 hours before applying the topcoat.
Paint preparation:
The packaging contains a product ready for use. Immediately before use, the entire contents of the packaging should be mixed thoroughly with a slow-speed mixer / drill with a mixer (basket or wing) until a homogeneous consistency is obtained.
If necessary, dilute with clean water (at the first painting, max. 10% volume, at the second maximum 5%).
Application method:
It is recommended to use a paint roller, however can also be sprayed.
For latex and ceramic paints we use a roller with short hair 9 to 12mm, acrylic paints are applied with a roller with hair 12 to 15mm
Painting:
All painted surfaces must be dry and both the air and substrate temperature between + 5 ° C and + 25 ° C, and relative air humidity below 80%.
It is recommended to protect all elements to be protected, i.e. door and window frames, contacts etc. with painting tape, which should be carefully peeled off immediately after painting.
If the product is coloured, then before painting works it is necessary to ensure that the paint has been coloured in sufficient quantity on the surface to be painted and the staining base has been used from one production batch. This treatment is used to avoid possible differences in the colour or shades of the paint coating.
In order to obtain the best decorative effects, it is recommended to apply 2 layers of paint. For colours with a lower covering power (yellow, red, orange), it may be necessary to apply another layer of paint. In order to optimize the cost of painting, it is recommended to use a coloured Latex Style Primer.
