Decorating With Paint Paints give life to a room and changes the overall look. So be careful in selecting the color that suits the room, and which interests your child. You can choose bright color, and experiment them with sponges, even using stencils or wall stickers and a variety of other products that can give your wall a special look. There are also paints that glow in the dark and paint that sparkles; these can be painted on the ceilings.
