[ad_1]
For our latest lookbook, we have put together 10 inspiring and colorful children’s rooms in kindergartens, including a pastel-colored children’s center and a kindergarten that pops in pink.
Designing kindergartens is often an opportunity for interior designers to release their inner child and experiment with bright colors in unexpected ways.
In these ten projects, designers used color to encourage children to crawl, jump, and study.
This is the latest round up of our Dezeen Lookbooks range, providing visual inspiration to designers and design enthusiasts. The previous lookbooks include cozy offices, interiors with cross-laminated timber and green bathrooms.

Daycare center MalvÃna, Czech Republic, by No Architects
Bright primary color blocks were used to highlight key areas such as the kitchen counter, lockers, and play areas in this kindergarten interior.
The architects also played with the space by adding lots of windows, hiding spots for kids, and different floors.
“The room itself was pretty dark – it’s deep and there wasn’t too much natural light,” said No architects Co-founder Jakub Filip Novák.
âWe therefore opted for lots of white and light surfaces, naturally oiled plywood and warm colors that match the nursery’s branding,â he added.
