Playroom Color Palette

The colour scheme looks great. I have those Ikea shelves and I love them however mine are the 4 X 4 in the birch colour for the playroom. I do have the dark brown colour elsewhere and I would recommend against it. Any damage that happens to the shelves (nicks, scrapes, bumps etc) shows up like crazy as it's particle board underneath that colour. The birch is the same colour almost as particle board so if any damage happens it is not nearly as noticeable.

That's a good point, Toregone. I did have a scratch on mine, but I have a brown copic (alcohol ink) marker that matched exactly, so I coloured it in. You would never know it was scratched. But you are right, it's particle board underneath, which is why I can afford them LOL

LOL! The reason I can afford them is it's particle board too! For a playroom I would so recommend against the dark colour. Kids beat stuff up no matter how well behaved they are. I would rather the same piece in a colur not likely to show just how beaten up it is.

Thanks Toregone ~ this is good to know ~ I have seen the wear and tear on the 'white' ... but the birch and black/brown just seemed 'better quality' ... my crew is pretty 'calm/gentle' but even then stuff happens for sure!
