It is very simple to choose colour scheme for kid’s bathroom. Learn to mix colours and fabrics and how to repeat colour throughout the bathroom. First, choose a style and a theme for bathroom. With the style and theme in mind, decide on a fabric that has 3 or more colours. Use the background colour from the fabric as a wall colour. Use the brightest colours from the fabric for accessories and accents like welting, picture mats, and decorative accessories. To continue this coordinated prints could be the blue and white ticking stripe, a navy star print fabric, and a red and white mini-check used on curtains and floor for the kid’s bathroom.
Tips:
Repeat colours evenly throughout the bathroom and in at least 3 places. Divide colour use to approximately 60% of the bathroom in the background colour, 30% in the mid-tone colour, and 10% in the brightest, accent colours to give kids a cool looking bathroom.

Best of all, a kid’s bathroom makeover can be completed in just a day or two. Here are few steps to keep in mind for quickly updating child's bathroom. Working with the colours in inspiration piece, choose a paint colour. This is a child's bathroom and one can afford to have a little fun with paint colour choice. Softer colours will work better if the person is going to paint the whole bathroom in one colour. However, for an added touch of dream, consider two or more colours. One can do a striped or plaid wall with the help of a little blue painter's tape and some small rollers too. Trace around a dinner plate to create a dotted wall, or make own stamps by cutting shapes out of sponges. Finally, if the walls are already painted an off white. Use that for advantage by keeping that as the base colour, or painting half the wall. Paint from the ceiling, half way down the wall, or from the floor half way up. Cut out a shape with a wave pattern and trace a line around the wall. Using an angled paintbrush, follow the line to paint for the fun sake, wavy look.
