Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Oct 18, 2008 4:02 pm I'm after a pretty lemon colour to do the walls in my little girl's new bedroom (she's being booted out of the nursery because her sister is arriving in Feb ).
I don't want it to be too dull and old ladyish, but also not so bright that it's going to give her a headache. There are two large windows in the room - one facing south and one facing west. They will have white/off white roller blinds on them. Haven't chosen carpet as yet, but I anticipate it will be a brown/dark neutral colour. Thanks! Re: A nice lemon colour for toddler's bedroom? 2Oct 19, 2008 2:04 pm I found some yellows in Resene paints ( they can be matched in other paints). Wasnt sure if you were looking for really light or darker yellow. Of course all can be lightened when getting them mixed.
