Can’t stop thinking about that colourful kids bedroom from last night's episode of The Design Doctors?
You have Design Fever! We saw the Design Doctors team use a great variety of colours to help bring balance and modernity to this beautiful Delgany home.
This episode was about creating a fun bedroom for toddlers and solving storage issues in a small space.
This striking navy blue wall is Ral 5008 and can be mixed in Dulux Easycare Diamond Matt for a tough finish for those sticky fingers.

This unusual ladder was painted in 20YY 39/130 and the red steps and storage unit was painted in 16YR 18/587. Both finishes are Diamond Eggshell from the Dulux colour mixing range.

This image shows just how creative you can be with a lick of paint and a little imagination.
Colours used for mural on the wall are Chalky Downs 3 for the trunk and 70YY 37/296 for the leaves. Chairs paint in Dulux Diamond Eggshell 70YY63/326 (yellow) and 16YR 18/587(red).
