1) Create consistency through color

One way to give a child stability after moving house is by painting their new bedroom the same color as their old bedroom.

This will make the new space feel more familiar and comfortable and make children feel happier being there.

2) Stay calm with pastel colors

Moving house is a very busy time, so why not create a calm resting place for your children with soothing pastel shades?

You can use almost any color you like - the key is to keep the color intensity low for a calm, relaxing feeling.

3) Paint with fun colors

Warm colors like orange and sunny yellow have a mood-improving effect, so painting your child's bedroom with these colors can help them feel more positive about their new home.

4) Harmonious green

Green promotes balance and harmony, truly what children need after moving house.

Use a variety of green shades, from calm and subdued greens to vibrant and refreshing greens.

5) Restore order with blue

Blue tends to reflect order. It is also the most calming color compared to other colors - spending time in a blue room can actually lower your blood pressure and heart rate.

If you are worried that your children are feeling stressed after moving house, painting their room blue can provide a reassuring feeling that everything is alright and things are going according to plan.

And blue is not just for boys. For a girl's room, choose bold shades of blue and decorate with red and yellow accessories like pillows and bedding to get a colorful scheme.

Best tips

Let your children get involved by choosing suitable accessories for their room after you've finished painting it. This will make them feel more ownership of the room and happier to be there.
