I have done the short wall green with minecraft . The window wall is also green.
There is going to be a car sticker that takes up the whole long wall . But I don't know what to do with the other long wall ? Whete the door/kalax unit is. There will be a TV in it at some point. Definitely no dark colours.

What other furniture will be in there? Will there be a wardrobe? Chest of drawers? Will there be any furniture along the white wall?

The white wall in the pic will just have the kallax unit once I have sorted it out. The opposite wall that will be the car wall . Will have bed each end of the wall and an ikea cube unit next to each bed . No wardrobe or chest of drawers

Aww thank you. I know alot of my threads are the same /similar. But posting really helps me to be motivated and it pushes me to carry on. And it helps me not to dwell on negative things 💐

Could you get lime green baskets for the kallax unit?
and I think two ‘patterned’ walls is enough. Maybe a name sticker? Or wooden letters painted

That did go through my head . I don't think I can do the actual same blue though and I'm nlt sure if I want it all blue . I'm looking at frog tape ideas at the moment

My adult kids said I should leave it white . And maybe think of some type of wall art . But then i think it will get grubby like it is now if left white.

I already brought the kallax boxes there was not much choice . I got orange white and bluey/green colour

I don't think they would like it to be honest. Plus ideally tomorrow will be my last painting day.

How about a chalk board, or chalkboard paint on the wall with a frame around it?

Would this look stupid ? Obviously painted properly. I was trying to bring a bit of red in to it. Because I have not done anything that ds8 has asked me to . But have done everything ds7 has asked

What about an interactive wall? Maybe a race track to compliment the car mural.

I did think about a sensory wall . But I only have today to do it so I don't think I can . Also it was hard finding stuff an 8 year old would like .. I did think about scrape track actually but decided not to because they will drag their cars over the walls and it will gey damaged quickly

I was thinking about this. But I think it might cost alot of money for the full wall. I would have to buy 6 tins of paint.

A huge pinboard. Eldest has one that was mine as a child. It gives her a space to pin up stuff without damaging the walls and she likes to change it around. My dad made them from sheets of 6ft x 4ft insulation board, stuck a frame on which is painted to match the decor.
