Please help a lurker.

This is my kids bathroom. I really need to redecorate it and make it more fun/girly. We are going to frame the mirror with crown moulding and switch out the towel rack for a white shelf with hooks for towels. Please help me pick a paint color, it's killing me trying to decide.

Do you have a shower curtain picked out? I'd do that first because it will add a lot of color to the room.

I always like pale aqua/turquoise with pinks and greens - girly but not quite so over the top as all pink, pink, pink.

Yes it's for my daughters. They're 3 and 5 and favorite colors tend to change daily. While I want it girly I don't want it to childish.

I would go with a bright color... it is so beige in there! But I agree on finding a shower curtain that you like and choose a color from there. do the walls in one color from the curtain, and then some accents with another. I think it should be easy to make the room fun without it being childish.
ETA- Like this curtain www.pbteen.com/products/garden-grow-shower-curtain/?pkey=cshower-curtains&cm_src=shower-curtains||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_--_-
I would make the walls the turquoise color and get a purple bathmat/towels

Thanks for the advice everyone. So, I guess I'll find the shower curtain first and go from there. Should I keep the paint a light colour or will something darker work?

I haev three girls and wanted a fun girly but not over the top girly bathroom- I did aqua walls, a black and white chevron shower curtain and hot pink accesories, I love how it came out

Runner mom- I like that a lot.



the color that I originally picked out is very similar to that but I panicked that it might be over the top.

I agree start with the shower curtain. Something with color. The first thing I thought of was this one. It comes in standard height or extra long.

I like these too (I have expensive taste, but low budget lol):

There was a really cute birds in a tree one from Room 365 at Target, but I can't get it to post right.

I would get a fun floral shower curtain but paint the walls green to avoid overdosing on pink.

I love that color...and your other design choices.  It is a perfect color for a bathroom, and is both relaxing and fun. 

We have a bolder version of the color in a guest room, and it is my favorite room in the house.  Just a glimpse when I walk by the room makes me smile...it is just a happy color.
