What about some pictures of flowers, one blue, one purple? A plastic vase for the table with a plastic coloured flower? Some coloured storage boxes for her toys?

Oh just saw shes 16 months, you can make that a long term project
Crystals, in the window, and high up so she cant reach them will make rainbows on the walls when the sun is shining Maybe another in a few years idea!

Gosh, I wasn't much help last night was I?

Ok, DS has a rainbow coloured bedroom. These are some of the things that have contributed:

His wooden furnituse is all painted bright gloss colours, reds and blues.

He has blue fairy lights from habitat strung up.

The walls are all white but the built in shelves are apinte4d bright blues and greens
the wondowsil is painted.

He has wooden storgae drawers from Ikea, all painted. These are actually decorated by him in acrylic paint, with a layer of varnish over the top. They are very cool.

There is a big canvas with a very brightly coloured splatter painting on it that he did when he was 2.

One wall has loads of framed photographs of his family and friends up, all the frames are brightly coloured wooden ones from Ikea.

There are some drawings he did on brightly coloured paper (drawings in black felt-tip) framed in clip frames.

Curtains are brightly coloured stripey material from John Lewis.

Bed has lots of cushions on it made out of differnet brightly coloured material. Duvet covers also brightly coloured ones from Ikea.
