Question -- We have five boys age 7 to 15 and are planning on painting their bedrooms. In one room both boys want green, in the other room one wants blue, the other wants bright red. The third room is small and not so well-lit so I will do the same as the hall, a creamy yellow. I'd love any suggestions for paint
colors in a cost-conscious brand.
Try This Approach -- Look for shades of camouflage, jungle leaf greens are very popular with young boys, and let them help with the painting. In the blue and red room, why not apply a denim paint finish. It's cost effective as you require less paint than you would to for a solid finish. Mix blue paint with glaze, roll it on the wall and then pull a hard bristle brush through the wet glaze to produce the look of fabric weave. You could add fake stitch lines with red paint and an artist's brush. Paint the trim red and both boys will be happy. I recommend you choose the best paint you can afford. You will need to apply more coats of economy paint to get good coverage, so you don't really save money.
