  • 2 min read

Safe children's room paint is a worry-free choice

Safe paint for the children's room.

The shades in the picture are: Macaroon and Earthy from the wall paint series.

The children's room is more than just a place to sleep or play – it's a small world where imagination can fly and stories are born.

When you choose a non-toxic, nearly odorless, and safe paint, you can focus on what matters most: creating a space that reflects your child.

As a parent, you naturally want to choose the best for your child. That's why it's good to know that Frenchic paints have received the European Toy Safe certification, so you can confidently paint children's furniture with our paints.

  • Almost VOC-free – contain very little volatile organic compounds (Al Fresco 3.5%, Lazy Range 1.5%)
  • Water-based, odorless, and safe also for babies' rooms
  • EN 71-3 certified, meaning completely safe for children's toys and furniture

The gingerbread border on the wall in the picture is painted with the pink BonBon shade from the wall paint series.

Colors that invite play and soothe to sleep

In the children's room, colors awaken imagination and support emotions. It is important to choose a shade that not only looks good but also supports the child's personality and the room's purpose. Pastel shades blend beautifully with the rest of the home's decor.

🌸 Dusky Blush – a fairytale pink

A soft and misty shade, perfect for a little princess or anyone who loves gentle, calming tones. Creates a safe atmosphere and pairs beautifully with wood, pink, and gray. A powdery pink that stands the test of time.

🦋 Duckling – a light bluish-gray dream

A shade of sky and sea, perfect for adventurers. This shade works well on both small wall surfaces and entire rooms – especially lovely alongside white furniture.

🌿 Apple of my Eye – nature-inspired green

A cheerful and fresh soft green brings the gentleness of nature and balancing energy to the children's room. If you want to bring playful energy to the room, this shade is a sure choice.

Effects with small ideas – painting is not just one color

In the children's room, you can play around – not everything has to be neat and straight. Painting can be fun together with the child or a joyful surprise for them.

🎨 Ideas for implementation

  • A colorful arch behind the headboard creates a cozy nest-like atmosphere.
  • Paint mountains, clouds, or forest on the wall. Frenchic's matte shades make the drawings soft and sophisticated.

💡 Tip: Use FrogTape® Delicate Surface tape for outlining shapes – it peels off easily and leaves no marks.

Also paint furniture

Remember, paint doesn't have to be used only on walls. You can brighten up a child's room by painting:

  • children's chairs, headboards, or shelves
  • toy chests, play kitchens, or doll prams and dollhouses
  • lamps or wall hooks
  • interior doors and frames
  • Ikea-style laminate furniture

Frenchic paints adhere to many surfaces without primer – and they withstand everyday use well. A child's own old piece of furniture can be completely transformed with paint!
