Ventilation

Décor

Presence of lamp, inspiring pictures (like galloping horses and goddess of knowledge), a display of achievements (like certificates and trophies) are some of the ways

Wall colour

Reflecting wall colours are the prime requirement of a room that needs energy. Refreshing tones of green, blue and other earthy colours, while avoiding any dark colour, provide inviting ambience to a child’s room.
