Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best paint finish (sheen) for a kid's room?

For a kid’s room, eggshell or satin paint finishes are usually the best choice. These finishes offer a good balance of durability and easy cleaning, which is helpful for walls that may experience fingerprints, scuffs, or the occasional mess. Eggshell provides a soft, low-luster look, while satin offers slightly higher durability and is easier to wipe clean.

For long-lasting results, consider BEHR PREMIUM PLUS® Interior Paint & Primer, BEHR ULTRA® Interior Paint & Primer, or BEHR MARQUEE® Interior Paint & Primer, all available in eggshell and satin finishes. These interior paints provide durable, washable surfaces that help kid’s room walls stay looking fresh even with everyday activity.

What colors work best for a kids room?

Start with a few kid-friendly BEHR options you can test on the wall, like Tahitian Sky (M460-1), Peaceful Blue (S470-3), and Nurturing (T18-16). Pair a wall color with a flexible base like Blank Canvas (DC-003) or Ultra Pure White (UPW) for trim, doors, or ceilings. Use ColorSmart by BEHR® to preview these colors in room images before committing.

What are good neutral paint colors for a kids room that will grow with them?

A neutral base can make it easy to update decor as kids’ interests change, so consider Blank Canvas (DC-003), Swiss Coffee (12), or Ultra Pure White (UPW). Add personality with an accent color you can swap later, like Provence Blue (HDC-AC-23) or Nurturing (T18-16). Use ColorSmart by BEHR® to preview the neutral-plus-accent combination before you paint.
