3. Declutter your kid’s room and achieve calm with simple tones

Put things into perspective and create a calm atmosphere for your child. Combine a subtle tonal palette with pastel greys for a clean and pared-back look. Get creative and add a unique twist using the split effect. Try a darker gray with blue undertones on the bottom, echoing tranquil clear waters.

Decorate sparingly, for a simple minimalist effect to avoid distractions for a good night’s sleep. Add a textured rug and coordinate with your seating for a comfortable escape to sit back and relax.
