TONED – ONE OF THE SAFEST AREAS
These low chromatic colors are a safe and perfect choice for larger areas, in both interior and exterior environments.
Children have a lot of energy, so they need a place to calm down. Even though children love bright colors, it’s not practical to use them in a child’s bedroom. Children are already full of energy and don’t need colors to make them even more energetic.
Toys are usually very colourful, as they are designed to prompt children to be more active as they play. We put colorful toys away when we don’t want children to run around and play anymore. Therefore a low chromatic pale colored room would be ideal for a children’s bedroom.
