Magical mountains.Bring in nature, and paint mountains on the walls of the children's room.
Preparation is key.The sisters recommend that you make a sketch of how the mountains can fill out the wall, before you paint.
Tone in tone.Here, a calm colour scheme where the colours complement each other has been chosen. Keep mixing until you achieve the exact colour tone that fits the universe you are looking to create for the room.
Soft shapes.Use masking tape which can be pulled and rounded to make the soft shapes for the mountains and sun.
Sharp edges.You can also make quite sharp edges with the masking tape, which can be acquired at most hardware stores.
Through children's play and imagination, dear Anna…

Personal touch.For a unique and personal addition to the room, you can add the initial of the child's first name with yarn on the wall.
Precision.Start by drawing the letter on the wall, then hammer in small nails along the lines.

3D-effect.Now, wrap yarn around the nails. When you have passed the nails a few times, a lovely 3D-effect will start to show.

Mix and match.Play with contrasts. Here, the warm earthy tones are joined by a fresh blue.
Edgy.The blue colour adds a bit of edginess to the warm colour scheme. It can be used for painting an old stool in a new colour.
Allow yourself to be inspired by children's excitement and curiosity.

Growth.Follow the children's height by making your own ruler.
How to.Find a wooden board in an appropriate height and choose a colour you want to paint it in, or let the child choose. Choose a slightly darker colour to draw lines every 10 cm.

Under the skies.Paint small, airy skies on the walls of the children's room for a dreamy expression.
You will need.Cardboard, pencil, scissors, and acrylic paint.
How to.Use the template to paint the skies on the wall. "Paint with light strokes to give the skies an airy look," Anna recommends.
