Children’s Bedrooms Affect Their Moods

Jacobsen Brothers Painting • July 15, 2021

A child’s bedroom renovation in your Boulder, CO, home should give some consideration to color psychology to create a comfortable space that serves as a retreat from the pressures of the world or stimulates creativity. Children’s bedrooms definitely affect their moods. You can help bolster positive traits just by carefully examining the color palette for their rooms. At Jacobsen Brothers Painting, our in-house designer can work with you to create just the right space for your child’s personality.


Blue = Peaceful

The most popular bedroom color, blue lowers the heartrate and creates an environment of calm to help kids relax from a stressful day. It also harkens to a sense of trustworthiness.


Green = Serene

Similar to blue, green evokes a feeling of restfulness. Connected to nature, green offers a place to feel fresh again and to experience healing.

Yellow = Happy

While yellow can overstimulate, when used carefully it can create an energetic, cheerful space where kids can get things done.

Orange = Confident

This bold color is also a good one to handle as an accent or with care since it can overwhelm. But it breeds socialization and helps kids connect with others.

Red = Energetic

Red is an exciting color and when used in a child’s room, it can be a great motivator. Kids feel stronger and less anxious when red is around.

Purple = Creative

The color of royalty, purple encourages kids to follow their pursuits to completion. Accomplishing their goals is easier in a purple environment.

Pink = Sweet

Not just for Valentine’s hearts, pink actually does encourage caring for others and compassion. But it’s not just for little girls. Pink is connected with a feeling of sophistication and works well for teens, too.

Brown = Stable

A strong nature color, brown evokes changelessness and steadiness in a person’s character. It also calls to strength and toughness.

Black = Secure

An undeniably dramatic color, black can be a sophisticated choice for an older child’s room. It can be very cozy and relaxing.

White = Innocent

A white room is easy to organize and can encourage cleanliness. It also encourages honesty and integrity.
