My room, my world

The look and feel of the space where your beloved offspring spend most of their time makes a big difference to their development. That’s why paint maestros Dulux have teamed up with child psychologist and broadcaster Dr. Sam Wass to present a range of bedroom looks which are easy to achieve, tailored to kid’s interests and guaranteed to ignite young imaginations. Better yet, Dulux’s Endurance+ paint is twenty times stronger than regular emulsion, meaning however messy they get this summer you can wash away the stain, not the paint.

And with the summer here it's the perfect time to start working with your little nippers on getting their bedrooms ready for the next school year. Think of it as a reward for all their hard work and a great way of bringing the two of you even closer together, all the while landing some long-lasting positive effects on their imagination and creativity. That could be quite some legacy. 

The printable Dulux Workbook can help them create that dream bedroom. This can be downloaded here. Share your progress on the Dulux UK Facebook page or @Dulux on Twitter using #KidsBedroom and every completed child’s bedroom will be rewarded with a personalisable door sign. Voila, the final finishing touch!

Here’s Time Out’s pick of the four grooviest looks, with a handful of suggestions on fun themed things to do over the holidays, whatever style your little one is drawn to.
