Child and Baby Safe Paints | 4 Nursery and Playroom schemes

Orange as a carrot, Yellow as a pear, Purple as a plum, Brown as a bear, colour is one of the great joys in life, especially for a child! Your Nursery is so precious to you and your baby, a place for quiet moments, a place for playfulness. Natural paint is the safe and beautiful choice for painting your nursery or child’s bedroom, no unpleasant smells, no emissions, no harmful VOC’s, we’ve got nothing to hide.

Whether you’re in a rush and don’t have long until the new arrival or you just want a summer refresh, our paint is super easy to apply and totally safe to be around whilst expecting and is odourless too.

Our nursery collection is made up of 12 fun and soothing colours which are created using natural earth and mineral pigments, taking inspiration from nature and capturing them in a tin! All of the ingredients are listed clearly so you can have complete peace of mind when painting and introducing your baby to it’s new home.

Decorating in blocks of colours is a simple and effective way of making a bold statement without too much fuss! The above uses two of our much loved colours ‘Hector’ and ‘George’. It’s usually a technique that involves choosing two contrasting colours and painting a large area of each in a similar pattern side by side. It’s great if you are stuck between two colours and can’t decide (we’ve all been there). You can go bright or monochrome, but the effect is always triumphant! The effect can be as dramatic as you choose and the way you colour block can be as punchy or as soft as you feel comfortable. Playing with lines, diagonal and vertical, maybe using block colours around a window frame  or like the photo above, simply splitting the room into two beautifully hued halves.

Our paints are are wipeable but not water-resistant due to the fact they contain no plastics, just beautiful, breathable paint!

Sometimes you just want a calm and safe haven, ‘Cuisse de Nymphe Emue’ is the prefect pink for a rosy children’s bedroom, above it is paired with a variety of soft and comforting textiles. If you have a lot of other component’s to the room or have a smaller space, using one colour and pairing it with a feature wall or wall hangings is a great idea. Cuisse de Nymphe has got the perfect amount of umber and it refrains from being too ‘girly’ we all love pink here at Edward Bulmer Natural Paints and ‘Cuisse de Nymphe Emue‘ is always a front runner, it shares its name with a beautiful smelling garden rose too!

Cuisse comes in shades 60%, 40% and 20% if you’re looking for something a little lighter, read more about our shades here.

Panelling is such a lovely feature in a room and can really change the final outcome in some simple steps. Painting your wooden panelling will give a nice contrast to the above wall colour and similar to colour blocking, allows you to indulge in not one colours but two! Panelling was originally done to keep the room insulated but was soon recognised as a decorative feature and grew in popularity. The linear pattern can make walls appear longer if you have a low ceiling and they are easy to paint with little fuss. The above panelling is painted in ‘Evie’ which is a slightly lighter version of our ‘Invisible Green’ is a lively green which will brighten any room and again a favourite from the Nursery Collection, ‘George’.

Our 12 Nursery collection colours aren’t just for the nursery, they look great worked into any space and provide a light and tonal feel, shop all of our colours here, there are over 100 to choose from

Wall to wall of sunshine in this gorgeous children’s room transformation by Naomi Sparrow,  a colourful children’s bedroom will never go a miss! Here we have our bright and vibrant ‘Naples Yellow’ which is as strong in colour as we are in our ethos of producing safe, plastic-free paint. It has been paired with the subtly hued ‘Spanish White’ which contains ochre pigment which matches the tone of natural chalk. If you are struggling to pick the right white for your space, our ‘It’s time to get your whites right’ blog is definitely a must read.

These bright colours look wonderful against painted furniture, here the chest is painted in ‘Sea Green’ and exciting art work along with lively textiles and furnishings.

Stripes to stop you in your tracks! ‘Quirky without being babyish’ was Kitty Patterson’s brief for her son’s nursery bedroom and hence the idea for these playful stripes was born! A genius DIY ‘hack’, saving money on expensive wallpaper and once the dimensions are set and marked out, even easier than hanging wallpaper! The colours work together brilliantly and tonally; ‘Duck Egg’ in super soft contrast to the more vibrant ‘Verdigris’. We think this is definitely a winning transformation idea for all children’s rooms,  we adore this style.

Our founder Edward Bulmer has created colours which convey unrivalled depth and light, whilst protecting the planets’ finite resources by using plant-based, plastic free, natural ingredients. Using our beautiful natural paints means your walls will not give off any harmful toxins and you can go to sleep the same day as painting with its odourless finish. Safe paint for little people!
