What factors should also be taken into account when designing a children's room in purple tones:

1. AREA

Dark colors make the room visually smaller. Therefore, in a small room it is advisable to use light purple shades. And for spacious rooms there are no restrictions - dark colors make them feel intimate and compress them a little, which turns “ football stadium"into a cozy space.

2. LOCATION

Consider the location of the room relative to the cardinal directions.
