What paint to use to paint a baby's bedroom?

We are aware that, when painting the child's room, the color that we are going to choose is the aspect that gets all the attention. If it is going to be more or less clear, if we are going to use a single color or if we prefer to combine them… However, something that we do not pay attention to and that is almost as relevant is the type of paint that we are going to use .

And it is that there are certain paintings that are more suitable for a children's room than others.

Plastic paint

First of all, we recommend that you make sure you buy quality paints. Water-based paints, such as plastic paints, are the most recommended for a baby's bedroom . Because? The reason is very obvious. They have a smooth and uniform finish that does not allow dirt to penetrate into the deeper layers and, therefore, they are very easy to clean . Think that babies grow by leaps and bounds and, in a matter of days, you will have them running around the room and touching the walls, which stain so quickly. With these types of paints, you'll have them clean again in no time. On the other hand, it is a type of paint free of chemical compounds that can put the health of your little one at risk.

chalkboard paint

Do you know this type of painting? Do you know what the little ones can love? They will go crazy! Blackboard paint is a type of semi-matt, anti-reflective and washable paint that has brought about a real revolution in the world of decoration. And it is that, when it dries, it becomes what its own name indicates, a blackboard! Imagine painting a piece of the child's bedroom wall with a moon, a doll or any other figure made with blackboard paint. The little ones will have a great time writing and drawing on it with their favorite chalks . But don't worry, don't put your hands to your head, it will suffice to wipe this area of ​​the wall with a damp cloth to make it look like gold jets again.

Don't think that chalkboard paint only exists in black. You can choose from a wide variety of colors to design that creativity zone in which the little ones can develop their imagination. Of course, keep in mind that the surface where you are going to use the blackboard paint must be smooth.

hypoallergenic paints

Hypoallergenic paint is especially indicated for sensitive people , such as babies , or people who are allergic to certain types of more intense odors. If what you want is that, after painting, the baby can quickly return to his room and does not need to be out of it for a few days because the smell is unbearable, hypoallergenic paint should be an alternative to consider, since it does not give off odor .

Inadequate paintings for a baby's bedroom

For your baby's health, try to avoid painting his bedroom with oil-based paints . They tend to have a high concentration of harmful chemicals that you certainly don't want near your baby. On the other hand, also be careful with certain types of paints that contain latex if your little one is allergic to this polymer.
