A few weeks ago I talked about adding yellow accents to a kids room because yellow is such a cheerful and happy colour.   Another colour that I’m currently crazy about is mint.  It’s so fresh, so fun and like yellow works for both sexes and little babies too.   Besides, Spring and Summer are the perfect seasons to add a bit of minty green freshness in to your home.  Even if you’re not re-decorating, you can easily add a hint of mint in to any kids room or even your own to give it a fresh new look.  Mint beautifully compliments most colours and all styles of decor.  So if you want to add a little brightness and light, here are some ideas on decorating with mint green in a kids rooms to inspire you:

Probably the easiest and quickest way to add a hint of mint to a nursery or kids room is by simply putting up some mint green art.  That large poster in the nursery pictured above adds a real breath of freshness to the room.  And even though there isn’t a lot of mint green in this room, the poster is so impactful that you don’t need more.

From a modern baby nursery to a vintage kids room – here is another easy way to add a splash of mint to a kids room.  Any old piece of furniture that needs updating can be painted in a mint green colour.  Often the furniture in a kids room gets the most wear so it’s the perfect excuse to freshen it up.

How gorgeous is this little girls room?  Here little mint coloured decorations have been dotted around which work so well with the whites, golds and pinks in the room.  From the soft toy with mint ears to the graphic mint blanket, it’s just little things like these that can add that splash of mint to a kids room.

If you want to go for a bolder mint green look, then paint the walls!  A room painted in mint from floor to ceiling may be a bit too much so instead, think about colour-blocking like in the beautiful nursery above.  The block of mint green goes so well with the pale grey, pink and darker green.  And colour blocked walls look so cool. 

Yet another way of decorating with mint green is to add some mint bed linen like in this room above.  It’s the perfect way to add some Spring freshness and can so easily be changed every season.  I also love how they’ve used a rug with a tiny splash of mint which just makes the bedding stand out even more.  And also how great does mint look with deep, dark colours too?
