Red, black and white for kids' bathroom

KatieKT · March 2013

We remodeled the kids' bathroom in our house and I love the way it turned out. I used red, black, and white. Now we found out we are moving this summer and I'm worried that it's bold or flashy for potential renters that might be looking at our house.I love red walls but do most people? If we were selling I'd almost be less worried because a renter might not want to move into a house that they think they need to repaint.

Would you be turned off by red walls? We have a son so I'm wondering if people with girls might not like it as much. I'm including a link to photos if anyone wants to see. http://www.eatingintheshowerblog.com/2013/03/red-black-white-kids-bathroom.html

Personally, I love it, but I'm a big fan of red. I think the fact that it's a small room, and that it's tempered by the white makes it ok. If you're renting it out and not moving back in, would you be ok with renters repainting it?

I think the reason it works is because you anchored it with the light trim. an ALL RED wall would have been a bit much and closed the room in. This way, its simply a bold pop of color

I'm a renter, but have had similar decor when I owned homes back home in the UK.. I wish more people rented out places like this instead off off white everything. <img src="http://community.thenest.com/cs/emoticons/emotion-21.gif" alt="Yes
