Ideas for the baby room wall design
The difference between a baby's room and a child's room is that, as parents, you spend a lot of time in a baby's room yourself. Especially at the beginning of this new phase of life, it is particularly important that not only your child, but also you feel comfortable and secure. For this reason, friendly colours with little stimulus, such as a light green or a delicate yellow, and especially a soft, light orange, are suitable for the wall design. The same applies here: create different areas with different accents. For example, you can paint stars above the cot and motifs next to the changing table so that the little ones have something to look at. You should paint the area around the breastfeeding chair with wall paint, which will give you a sense of security and calm.
- We recommend our LittlePomp Chalk Paint as wall paint for the baby's room, because it is particularly environmentally friendly, naturally solvent-free and does not release any toxic fumes into the environment
- To embellish children's furniture such as the changing unit, cot or cradle, they can be painted with the varnish quality MissPompadour Eggshell Varnish. Our varnish is solvent-free. The surfaces treated with it can be damp cleaned and are toy-safe. The latter is important because babies often lick or "nibble" the bars on their cots.
From when can children see colours?
Already one week after birth, a baby can see and distinguish colours. Red, yellow, orange and green are perceived first. Blue and purple tones follow a little later. It is therefore important which colours you choose for your baby's room. When choosing colours, also consider the size and lighting of the room. For the baby room, you will certainly want calm colour shades so that everyone can be comfortable in the room. After all, experience shows that parents spend a lot of time in the baby room: breastfeeding, changing nappies and rocking the baby to sleep
Which colour calms babies?
In the MissPompadour LittlePomp collection you will find many baby-friendly colours that not only calm babies but also parents. Especially pastel shades like a soft pink, a gentle orange or light blues have a friendly effect. But a delicate, light shade of grey or a fresh, discreet green are also particularly suitable for the baby room.
Ideas for toddler rooms
All in all, we recommend not digging too deep into the paint pots when it comes to colours for the children's room, because it often doesn't take long for the room to fill up with toys. And they are usually very colourful. The eye - and not only that of your child - is pleased when the walls of the children's room radiate calm.
- MissPompadour - The Functional Wall Paint is suitable as wall paint for the children's room, because it is extremely impact and scratch resistant and can be washed off wet.
- Now the MissPompadour blackboard paint also becomes interesting so that the little ones can write down their first words. Or you can paint a section of wall with MissPompadour magnet paint.
- The magnet paint is dark grey and must be painted over with the wall paint to become invisible. Photos and small works of art by the children can then be attached to this invisible magnetic wall with magnets.

Painting a child's room the right way: Instructions from MissPompadour
Step 1: Preparation
Cover the floor with cardboard, newspaper or plastic drop clothn. Protect delicate parts (like windows, doors or skirting boards) with tape. Fill in dents and holes with our To Fill - MissPompadour Filler. After drying, sand smooth briefly.
Step 2: Apply Stainblock
- To Block - MissPompadour Stainblock: Ensures that stains do not show through into the new paint and prevents tannins from seeping out if, for example, you want to paint untreated wood panels.
- To Prime Walls - MissPompadour Wall Primer: Prepares highly absorbent or porous surfaces for painting.
Step 3: Apply colour

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about painting children's rooms
Which walls should I paint in the children's room?
All walls in the children's room should be painted with a light, friendly base colour. If you use bright colours, paint only selected areas. Since there are also a lot of toys decorating the walls in your children's rooms, it can otherwise become too restless.
Are there special colours for children's rooms?
You can paint the children's room with all our wall paints. Washable wall paints such as MissPompadour - The Functional Wall Paint have proven their worth, especially if only certain areas of the room are to be painted, especially for heavily used areas or as a background for a coat rack, for example.
How long should I air the children's room after painting?
Even though our paints do not contain any harmful chemical substances, the children's room should be well ventilated. As a guideline, the room should be well aired for about one day after painting.
When is the best time to paint the children's room?
As the children's room should be well ventilated, it is of course best to paint it during the warm seasons.
