Is black paint recommend for a boys bedroom?
First of all, whether the child is a boy or girl makes no difference. Black is an unusual choice for room paint, but if it is the child’s preference and it is not related to any other behavior you want to discourage, then there should be no problem. There are two reasons to avoid black paint though. First the room will be very dark and it will take more lighting (and therefore more energy) to illuminate it to the level needed to do homework, etc. (White walls are very energy efficient since they reflect almost all the light and higher levels of illumination can be obtained with fewer lighting fixtures.) Second, when it comes time to paint the room again it will be more difficult to effectively cover the black paint (more coats of new paint required). White, on the other hand, is very easy to cover.
