Kid’s room makeover with mountains

In this post, you will find a cute kid’s room makeover with a beautiful mountains mural in a five-color palette darker and lighter grey, yellow, blue, and white.

Before two years before when I have painted the walls half light blue in a wavy like, like a sea, and left the rest white. I had bought then a great set of wall decals with fish, bubbles, and other happy sea creatures to apply them on the walls.

For two years we were playing with the stickers as they could stick and unstick many times without leaving grosses. Then, the sea creatures immigrated to the closet where my son could play more easily with them. So, as the walls remained empty, my son’s room needed a makeover.


Kid’s room makeover with mountains


I saw several nurseries and kids’ rooms on Pinterest with mountains murals. And, it was impossible to choose something different from this. So, I decided to use a palette of five colors: dark gray, light gray, very light gray, light yellow, and white. And, I paint it in three stages:

  • Firstly, I paint the walls from the bottom to the middle dark gray in a wavy line in order to be the ground.

After the mountains dried, I painted the rising sun with a lemon yellow. The paper tape again helped me to make a semi-circle and paint inside the borders. With a very light gray (I mixed white paint with five small drops of gray), I’ve painted the snow on the tops of the mountain. I left the old blue at some points because I wanted to look like a sea and lakes, refreshing it with the same hue.


Adding more details


For the rest decoration of the scene, I cut yellow cardboard into small triangles in order to make the rays of the sun with a geometrical style. I applied them with glue pads for the walls. My mom had bought a set of paper planes and clouds. And, I stuck them on the wall in order to create a more playful scenery. Behind one of the planes, I put a yellow cardboard stripe with my son’s name.

My son was really happy to see the new decoration of his room. When he returned from the village, he over welcomed it with enthusiasm and joy! It was surely a big surprise and of course, he had more ideas. For example, to add trees and rivers, and a farm with people and animals and other happy creatures playing…
