2020 has found many of us cooped up in our homes due to COVID-19. We’ve had to learn how to re-imagine the existing rooms in our homes to make it more comfortable and functional, be it for personal, professional or educational needs. Being cooped up at home, doesn’t have to be boring or stressful- especially for our kids. With 2021 just around the corner, how about a fresh start to welcome 2021 by giving rooms a new look to liven up the space while making it more functional too?
Here are a few 2021 trends by Nippon Paint that you might want to consider for your room makeover.
COLOURS
When it comes to designing spaces, colour is one of the most important elements to consider as it can affect moods and stimulate minds. For babies and young children, certain colours are beneficial to their behavioural and cognitive growth, which also helps to stimulate their creativity along the way.
Check out these two colours that’ll spark your child’s creativity- The Golden Charmer and Turkish Tile, which are great colours for your kids’ playroom or study room.
Pop Life – Golden Charmer
Bright, glossy and expressive, the Golden Charmer is sure to grab everyone’s attention through its confident colour and carefree aesthetic. The colour is also known to enhance communication and socialisation skills. It is found that children who spend a lot of playtime in rooms with an orange colour scheme tend to be more extroverted, cooperative, and confident.
Match it with some bold contrasting colours and you’ll have a beautiful bright room that exudes happiness.
Precious Tale- Turkish Tile
Inspired by traditional palettes of luxury, these colours emulate the tones of gemstones and other precious minerals with a twist. A great colour to use in a place where you wish to relax, this calming shade works to create a peaceful environment for a child as it decreases a sense of stress and anxiety, leaving them thinking more clearly.
DESIGN
Stencil Art
A fun and easy way to add some colour and design into your kid’s room is to add stencil art. Stencilling can be done by just dabbing some paint over a cut-out design made with cardboards or thick pieces of paper and onto a surface, such as wall or cupboards.
Chalkboard
Having a corner in a room where your child can express their creativity, is something you might want to consider when painting your child’s room.
Nippon Paint Satin Glo is an acrylic-based paint with non-added lead and mercury which gives a luxury wall finish. It is a durable decorative finish specially formulated to provide a smooth mid sheen finish. It is washable, fungus resistant and can be used as chalkboard paint.

Additional Tips
Create Multifunctional Spaces
2021 will see more kids’ rooms serving as multifunctional spaces that can be used for learning, playing and resting. One tip is to add a cleverly designed desk that can fit into the smallest of spaces. That way, they can work at a designated time, take a break for play time and also have space for resting.
Reuse & Repurpose
Whether it’s refurbishing old furniture, recycling items and turning them into something new or painting your furniture for a new look, 2021 is all about being more eco- friendly. It’s also a good opportunity to teach kids how recycling and reusing can be incorporated into everyday living.
