Does a little girls/boys bedroom HAVE to be pink or blue?

I never had a pink room. I had to share my bedroom with my brother when I was 4. the walls were a pastel blue. So i was a girl in a blue bedroom and for the most part I turned out alright.

Hi ersmommy, i have my bedroom pink also. I like it, but after 2 or 3 week then i change to other colour again. Colour bring some mood for our self. For me just let your daughters change her colour, this will affect her feel if you don't follow her colour.

I think they can be any color you want them to be. If she likes red that's a good contrast to pink...you might take her to the store and let her pick her own color (within reason) that way it'll be even more special to her. [b]**AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~[/b]

No, why should it be so lol? For my family at least, we consulted a Fengshui master so each one was given a few "appropriate" colors to choose from. I just chose the one I like best among the lot.;)

I never had a pink room growing up...but I wouldn't recommend painting your daughter's room right away because kids always change their minds. xD

I think that as long as she is not asking for some off the wall color I would change it. My brother once wanted to paint his room black. He was of course not allowed to. He settled for a gray.

pink is a good color...but yeah too much pinkie gives me headache many times!...ur absolutely right about trying out new colours....for a start you could try out pastel shades of green and yellow....or peach...these colours are safe as they suit both genders and are good for small children...plus they look cute inspite of NOT being pink or blue..Lol!

It's good that she's expressing herself, by wanting a different color. If you decide that she can pick a different color tell her she needs to stick with it for at least four years, so make sure she chooses carefully. I question making all little girl's rooms pink and all little boy's room blue. I'm not interested in promoting the typical gender dynamics, but in making sure my kids (and anyone else's) have a liitle more room to explore who they are.

It sounds to me like your daughter is starting to show her independence. I would start out with accents in the colors that she prefers and work from there. Children are always changing their minds and this could be an expensive 'change of mind'.

My suggestion would be seeing if you can hold off her decisions for a couple more years, until she can make up her mind what color she really wants and stick with it. Another suggestion would be to paint her walls cream colored, then doing matching accessories to colorize or theme her room.

If my daughter had her way, her bedroom would be lavender and light green. Those are her favorite colors. Since she has to share a room, it is pretty much a white room with their favorite colors on their bed sets. lol No, a little girl room does not have to be pink! Get creative, break out of the stereotype! :O)

Pink, for me, meant I had a girl. I was proud of my girl. I did not secretly wish my girl was a boy. However, if my daughter wants a color other than pink, I don't have a problem with it. Of course, there is the possibility that she will come to me saying she doesn't like pink because her mother has mounted a campaign against the surplus of pink. But *why* she stops liking pink wouldn't matter. If she expresses a desire for another color, then another color she can have.

My daughter also has a pink bedroom and pink wardrobes, and a pink carpet! It had to be pink though because she was my first girl after having 3 boys so I can be forgiven for all the pink. I guess it depends on what colours your daughter wants, but I would allow her to have her room how she wants it because its like the part of the house that belongs to her. I will allow my daughter to have it coloured how she likes as long as its not all black!

Before committing to a new design, try hanging a few colorful posters. That may be enough to brighten your child's room.

My son at 4 wanted a purple room and purple carpeting. we wanted with a blue-gray. Why don't you use a more neutral color, then use her favorite colors as accents. Then you can change it as she grows. I never remember having a pink room
