Choosing a quality paint, and the right color, are crucial components of any room’s decor. You may love a certain color, but does it really work for the furniture you already bought? And will it help minimize the damage to the walls when your son or daughter is old enough to use a crayon? Something to think about.

One great way to be proactive about the protection of the walls in your child’s room is by giving them a space to be creative. You can do this by using chalkboard paint on one of the four walls.
