Children go through different developmental phases, and their rooms should be adapted to those with adequate furnishings and design. Colours and patterns play an important role when it comes to age- and development-appropriate wallpaper. Kids' wallpaper needs to work as both a design tool as well as a functional element.
The right wallpaper models awaken joy and the playful instinct and can have a calming or motivating effect. They are a link between the external and the internal world of the child and promote creativity and support learning processes. Comfort and warmth are important factors for the room that children consider their safe haven. This guide explains what should be considered when using design wallpaper to create unique children's rooms.

How should kids’ rooms be furnished?
Kid's rooms change according to the developmental cycles of the child; they should be adapted to their abilities and interests.
Whilst a baby's room requires very little space, a few years later the motto is: The older the children, the more space they need.
Baby room
Many young parents prepare the nursery before the baby arrives. They want everything to be in place by the time the child is born. In reality, the baby tends to sleep in a cot in the parent's room during the first weeks and months, a process which is also recommended by experts as it fosters social ties and encourages bonding. As a result, the baby usually doesn't really need his or her own room until it is supposed to start sleeping alone, e.g. from the 3rd month.
In terms of furniture, a baby bed, a changing unit and a small wardrobe or chest of drawers is all that is needed. Light wood nuances or white are ideal colours for baby room furniture and provide a neutral canvas for wallpaper. Clear, contrasting colours are great for babies' eyes. Simple geometric shapes in black and white are a great choice for babies, and due to their limited eyesight and acuity, large scale-patterns are good options.
Soft nuances of red have a calming effect on tiny tots.
Toddlers
The infant stage lasts from age one to age three. Children become more agile and curious. They crawl on all fours and then learn to walk. Rooms for little explorers often feature a more flexible cot and lots of storage for toys. Child-appropriate seating is another popular option.
However, the room should not be over-furnished as what the child needs most is room to move. Motif wallpaper can support and foster a child's joy of discovery. Funny zoo, forest, and sea animals, cars, and delicate geometric patterns are all good options. At this age, children can see all basic colours as well as pastels, a fact that should be reflected when choosing wallpaper.
Kindergarten age
From the age of three, many children start going to kindergarten and enter an important new phase of life. They socialise with other children and adults, learn new rules, acquire basic social skills and experience boundaries.
The first friendships are developed. The child's room becomes a place of retreat where experiences are processed, often in a playful manner, for instance with role-playing games.
The cot is swapped for a small bed, the changing unit disappears, making room for a small table or desk and a chair or a seating area with comfortable beanbags or armchairs. Personal interests and preferences start coming to the fore. Girls often develop a preference for dolls, horses, mythical creatures, whilst boys tend to discover a liking for cowboys, fire-fighters or airplanes. This is reflected in their choice of wallpaper motifs. Wallpaper models are more colourful and detailed and become a backdrop for imaginative games.
School age
From the age of five or six, children start school. Another significant phase begins and the room/wallpaper design options reflect this. School kids experience more challenging demands, they have to re-arrange their priorities, produce academic results, and expand their social competence.
The child's room becomes a multi-functional space. Besides a child-appropriate bed, the desk is the centrepiece. A larger wardrobe, a chest of drawers, and a seating or reading area complete the picture.
It makes sense to systematically separate the areas for sleeping/studying/relaxing & playing, for instance by using various different wallpaper models. Wall/wallpaper colours and pattern motifs are increasingly adapted to the child's preferences and take psychological aspects into account. Whilst the area for studying benefits from stimulating colours and inspiring patterns, the space for relaxing and sleeping should feature more calming hues and imaginative wallpaper patterns.
Which colours can babies see?
When babies are born, their ability to see is limited as their eyesight develops slowly over the first year of life in order to protect them from sensory overload. This fact should be considered when choosing colour and motif of the wallpaper.
Visual capacity
Around the 7th month of pregnancy, unborn children first open their eyes and are able to distinguish between light and darkness. Light impulses are seen as shades of red through the mother's abdominal wall. After birth, the world is a very blurry place for new-born babies. Orientation is determined by light sources and movements. Their visual abilities gradually improve but are limited to the space directly in front of the face for the first few weeks. The child reacts mainly to bright colours and light/dark contrasts.
Scientists have found that very young babies enjoy the combination of black and white. Warm, soft hues of red are also a good choice as they remind them of the light impulses seen from inside the mother's belly. From the ninth week, the child can see with both eyes, and spatial awareness as well as the ability to see things at a distance are developed. From the 3rd month of life, babies can recognise and differentiate between the basic colours red, blue, and yellow.
From month 5, they can see pastel hues, too.
Studies have found that at this age, babies prefer the colours red, orange, purple, and blue. Colours are a great way to develop visual abilities and this is not limited to wallpaper but should be taken into consideration for the entire room. To achieve this, colours can be neutral or muted. Accessories, furniture and toys in bright colours provide interesting contrasts for the child.
Visual acuity
A newborn's visual acuity is limited to the area closest to the eyes (about 20 - 25 cm). The child can recognise faces, especially those of direct caregivers. Strong, contrast-rich colours stimulate the optic nerve. Large graphical patterns, simple geometric shapes, or cute animal faces attract the attention of the child. From the 3rd month onwards, the baby focusses on bright primary colours, more complex shapes, and details.
One of the next important developmental steps is eye-to-hand coordination which helps to train depth perception.
After about 10 to 12 months, the visual acuity reaches up to 50% of that of an adult. The child can now perceive all colours, if not the most subtle nuances and differences. In terms of wall design, bright, contrasting colours or pastels are both appropriate for this stage of children's development and their visual abilities.
Which colours are best for children?
Generally speaking, children love all bright colours. Nevertheless, it makes sense to focus on just a few favourite colours to avoid overstimulation. Gender can also play a role in terms of colour choices, but there are many hues that both girls and boys will like.
Gender-neutral (unisex)
Yellow, green, blue, and turquoise are just some of the gender-neutral colours enjoyed by both boys and girls. Yellow is right at the top of the list of favourites, and the tonality can stretch from a fruity lemon yellow via a soft vanilla shade to a warm gold or maize. One of the reasons is that this colour has many positive characteristics.
Yellow creates a happy and lively atmosphere, it exudes energy and promotes self-confidence and optimism.
Green is another gender-neutral colour. In children's rooms where the emphasis is on activity, creativity and relaxation, green works perfectly as it supports all of these requirements. With its calming and relaxing characteristics, blue is another popular unisex colour. Experts recommend the combination of various shades of blue so that the room doesn't appear too cold. Turquoise also belongs to the most popular unisex colours for kids' rooms. This warm combination of green and blue provides energy, strengthens self-confidence and balances the mind.
Popular colours for boys
A combination of grey and white exudes modern coolness - and with the right pattern, it works for boys of all ages. This neutral hue provides clarity and structure - the perfect backdrop for colourful interior design ideas. According to surveys, red is another favourite colour for boys, be it for clothes or room design.
This might seem surprising at first, but it ties in with their drive and adventurousness. However, red should be used sparingly in children's rooms, for instance limited to a feature wall, because in excess it can cause aggression.
Popular colours for girls
There's no question about it: the princess concept is alive and well. As a result, pink is still a favourite colour for girls of all ages. This romantic hue helps prevent bad moods and aggression. In addition, purple and violet have become firm favourites in kids' rooms. Both colours promote creativity, provide a harmonising balance and help with decision-making. Soft nuances of brown are perfect for active girls who love nature.
Our recommendation:Timeless colours are a better choice than fashionable or trendy combinations which children are likely to lose interest in as they grow older. Classic hues like blue, green, yellow, or grey are great examples.
What impact do colours and patterns have on child development?
The findings of colour psychology help when choosing specific colours according to their positive impact on children's creativity and their ability to learn.
When deciding on the right pattern, the focus should be on the developmental stage of the child and his or her personal interests.
Creativity
Imagination and creativity are inextricably linked. Patterns which stimulate the imagination also promote creativity. Amongst the colours that increase creativity are orange, green, blue, purple, and violet. When used sparingly, red has a stimulating effect, too. Wallpaper patterns with interconnected motif elements (e.g. astronauts, rockets, planets) or story-telling qualities (e.g. a landscape with animals or fairy-tale characters) invite the child to contemplate possible connections, make up their own stories, or use the wallpaper as a backdrop to imaginative games. Long term, this strengthens their sense of creativity.
Children's creativity is transformed into activity. In this context, wallpaper that can be (co-) designed by children, for instance by painting or drawing on, is a great choice. Good examples are black-and-white patterns, picture frame motifs, and chalkboard or whiteboard models.
Ability to learn
Learning is a life-long process but children gain the most formative experiences and go through the steepest learning curves. Young children first learn about their immediate environment and then pick up walking and speaking. Intuitively, they train all their senses. Some time later, they expand their horizons by forging their first social contacts. At school, the decisive factor is attentiveness. Geometric patterns help children of all ages retain and increase their ability to learn. Even babies are fascinated by simple shapes, and as the child grows older, they can become more complex and multi-dimensional.
In children of school age, numbers and letters actively increase the willingness to learn. The simplicity of the pattern ensures that children aren't distracted from their actual objectives. Yellow promotes a child's intelligence as well as the ability to think, and increases concentration. Orange is performance-enhancing and supports learning skills.
White helps with clear thinking and should feature as the base or pattern colour in wallpaper. For babies and toddlers, contrast-rich, strong shades or black and white stimulate little brains.
Which are the best wallpaper patterns for boys?
Bravery, adventures and action are amongst the favourite themes for boys' wallpaper. Even though there is a huge choice of pattern wallpaper for boys, the most favoured motifs continue to be cars, fire engines, forest animals, and superheroes.
Cars
Fast racing cars, big lorries, impressive tractors - the world of automobiles is as varied as the choice of wallpaper models. Even the smallest boys tend to find cars "cool"; they are magically drawn to speed and movement. In kids' TV series, cars even turn into talking friends and companions for many adventures. Cars stand for freedom and power, which is why in boys' rooms, they often aren't just present in the toy box but on the walls, too.
Fire Brigade
Most boys go through a phase where they want to become firemen when they grow up.
In addition to the fascinating fire engines, boys are inspired by the courageous efforts of the firemen to save people and animals. So it is hardly surprising that wallpaper patterns or motifs focussed on the fire brigade continue to be favourites. Furthermore, they promote creativity because they can be used as the basis for fantastic tales of heroism.
Superheroes
Big, strong, powerful - superheroes know everything, can do anything they put their mind to, they are always there to save the day and find a solution for any problem. Superheroes are role models that boys aspire to be like and that help shape their characters. On boys' wallpaper, they are ever-present and might even become secret allies and imaginary friends.
Forest animals
In the dark, mysterious woods, many fascinating or cute animals hide. As for many kids it is rare to see them in nature, they often enjoy them on their walls. Does, rabbits, hedgehogs, bears - the list is endless. For many a boy, a cheerful crowd of forest animals is his idea of heaven.
Which are the best wallpaper patterns for girls?
Fairy-tale worlds, nature, animals, and mythical creatures are amongst the topics girls tend to be most interested in. The pattern motif wish-list also features princesses, farms, jungles, horses, and clouds.
Farm
Farm creatures big and small need to be tended to and spread fun wherever they are. Fields and meadows, perhaps a pond or lake - all these motifs feature on farm-themed wallpaper focussing on human and animal inhabitants. They appeal to many girls' interests and character traits. The appropriate wallpaper can help explore these topics in a playful-creative manner.
Jungle
Girls like exploring just as much as boys. However, their main focus is often on lush green and exotic plants and animals. The dense jungle combines untouched nature with exiting adventures and bright tropical colours. It creates the ideal environment for relaxing moments and provides fabulous ideas for playing.
Horses & Unicorns
Girls tend to love horses, especially during the transition period between kindergarten and school. This attraction can continue throughout the teenage years and turn into a sporty passion in adulthood. Girls like taking care of the four-legged friends, they might even have a favourite equine breed, and they enjoy imagining exiting riding adventures aided by toys, books and wallpaper motifs. Unicorns are the fairy-tale continuation of their love for horses.
Clouds
Soft, fluffy clouds invite girls to dream of flying above the world. Cloud patterns in just one or many different colours, with sunshine peeking through or droplets of rain falling down, are always a firm favourite for girls' wallpaper. Thoughts and wishes, but sorrows and worries, too, are all placed into the clouds and sent to the right address. Clouds also provide creative access to other heavenly spheres of the imagination.
Are the various components of wallpaper harmless?
All components of children's rooms - from wallpaper to flooring to furniture and toys - should be as pollutant-free as possible.
A child's immune system needs time to develop fully, which means that the little ones are much more susceptible to poisonous substances in their environment.
Pollutant-free
It is no secret that somewallpaper types can contain pollutants. To name but a few, plasticisers (e.g. Phthalate), binding agents, volatile organic, organohalogen or organostannic compounds and Biocides might all be present. Children's wallpaper should contain none of these substances. Wallpaper types made from pure plant or wood fibres, cellulose and textile fibres, untreated or recycled paper or other recycled synthetic materials are all low-pollutant options. Breathability is an essential prerequisite for healthy room air.
Plant dyes, solvent-free printing dyes, and natural binding agents like rubber or resin can replace substances that are damaging to the health of a child. Unlike with foodstuffs, for wallpaper there is no duty to declare the substances contained. Therefore, it is important to check the manufacturers' seals of quality and certifications.
The most common and well-known quality certifications for low-/zero-pollutant and environmentally sound wallpaper are, amongst others: The Blue Angel eco label, RAL, natureplus, Phthalate-free, and Eco Institute.
Environmentally friendly
The future belongs to our children - and today, they are so acutely aware of the current dangers to the environment that they have taken to the streets to fight for a healthy environment and climate protection. Environmentally sound wallpaper is produced from sustainable or recycled raw materials. Pesticides, herbicides and biocides are completely removed from the production chain, as are any chemicals that might be harmful to the water or the habitat of insects and wild animals. Environmentally friendly wallpaper is almost exclusively low-pollutant and features one of the above-mentioned quality seals or certifications.
How can wallpaper be used to separate different areas of children's rooms?
Children's priorities change as they grow older.
Wallpaper can be used to achieve a multifunctional partition of the child's room into various different areas. For small children and toddlers, playing and relaxing/sleeping are the main focus. A child of school age requires spaces for learning/studying, sleeping and retreating.
Playroom
In kids' rooms which are mainly meant for playing, a stimulating wallpaper can be used for all walls or just one feature wall. The base colours should be light or white so that the pattern provides a distinct contrast. Patterns can be large-scale and "loud" - if they are too small, they can feel quite overwhelming.
Child's study
When it comes to studying and learning, concentration is the most important aspect. In terms of colours and patterns, wallpaper models used in this area should neither be too stimulating nor too tiring. The best place for a feature wall is the wall behind the desk, as this is often also the area which is first visible when opening the door to the child's room.
Letters and numbers, geometric shapes or stripes are ideal choices. The remaining walls can be painted with a matching colour which reflects one of the pattern colours of the wallpaper.
Bedroom
Before going to sleep, or whilst relaxing, the child's eye should be focussing on calming, imaginative patterns and motifs. Good examples are whimsical dream scenes or large-scale landscapes. The best place for the wallpaper is the wall where the bed is. In babies' rooms, it is the area the child looks at directly from its cot. This could be the wall by the baby's head or the one opposite the cot, or even the ceiling.
Our tips: Ideas which will make children's eyes light up
- Involve the child(ren) when designing a themed room. For girls, this might be a bedroom fit for a princess in soft pink and gold hues, perhaps featuring tiaras or crowns, or a castle scene and a bit of glitter. Boys would appreciate a cosy pirate dwelling with a touch of the Caribbean. As well as the wallpaper, furnishings and accessories should be chosen with authenticity in mind.
- In children's rooms, large pieces of furniture like wardrobes or chests-of-drawers can be creatively beautified with wallpaper. One suggestion would be almost indestructible chalkboard wallpaper models which can be scribbled and drawn on with colourful chalk.
- Paint the wall in your child's favourite colour and use patterned wallpaper to create unusual decorative elements. For polka-dot patterns, you might want to choose circles, for striped patterns perhaps a triangular shape. Stick the cut-out shapes to the wall in whatever arrangement you and your child prefer.
- Kids' rooms' ceilings provide huge potential for the use of fabulous pattern wallpaper, too. For babies and toddlers, the motif might be a starry sky or a magical galaxy, for nature-loving kids a bucolic flower meadow.

70 photos, types of wallpaper, how to choose
Childhood is an important period in the life of every person, during which not only his physical shell is formed, but also his character, behavior and tastes. Therefore, in the room where the child spends most of his growing up, everything should be perfect: from the materials used to the colors. Today we will talk about how to choose the right wallpaper for the children's room in order to create a beautiful and comfortable design for your child.
Types of wallpaper
A wide range of wallpaper, which is presented in modern salons, can be a little dumbfounded by inexperienced parents, not only with a variety of designs, but also with a name. When choosing wallpaper for a nursery, it is necessary to take into account the smallest details, since the material that is suitable for the living room may not be suitable for the child's room.
We have identified several optimal types, which, firstly, are safe for children, and secondly, they will allow you to decorate the interior beautifully.
Paper wallpaper for nursery
You shouldn't avoid traditional paper wallpapers, which are pasted over the walls of apartments in the post-Soviet space. Their design has gone much further than a small flower, and even embossed surfaces can be found today.
The main thing is that this is a natural, environmentally friendly material that will not harm the health of the child. Moreover, they allow air to pass through, so that the walls can “breathe”.
There is no need to worry that after a few years, when the tastes of the young owner will change, the interior will have to be completely redone: paper wallpapers are considered the cheapest and are also very easy to stick. For the same reason, relative fragility (no more than 5 years) does not seem to be a big drawback.
Paper wallpapers are afraid of moisture, so if a child, in a burst of creative inspiration, outlines them with felt-tip pens, it will not be possible to wash off the drawing.
But you can admire it for several years, so that later you can glue the “art” without regrets.
Non-woven wallpaper for children
Non-woven fabric is another matter. Simply put, this is paper with the addition of textile fibers, which increase its strength, which is most relevant for a child's room. They are more expensive, but they will also serve a long service - up to 10 years.
Non-woven wallpapers are more resistant to mechanical stress, are also able to pass air, are easy to stick and dry quickly. Products without a vinyl layer are considered environmentally friendly, which is not recommended for children (as well as vinyl wallpaper).
They are able to hide minor surface imperfections, such as small cracks or irregularities. Moreover, this type of wallpaper is often taken for painting, which can be done 5-10 times. A new color every year is perfect for a nursery.
Textile wallpapers for nursery
Luxurious fabric wallpaper is perfect for a classic-style children's room, especially if its resident is at the age at which he can appreciate such beauty.
However, the cost may vary from the material that is applied to the paper or non-woven base: the silk surface will be much more expensive than artificial varieties.
Textile types are safe for health, but require gentle care and dry cleaning. To clean the dirt, it is better to use a rag or gently walk with a vacuum cleaner. The range includes solid color options or coatings with an exquisite pattern. A good choice for a girl with refined taste.
Liquid wallpaper for children
In appearance, liquid wallpaper resembles decorative plaster, and therefore they can be used to create unusual and bright projects.
Contains cellulose, a harmless adhesive that won't hurt a curious baby. For a varied appearance, various decorative fibers, sparkles and natural dyes are also added to liquid wallpapers. When sticking, there are no seams or joints left, and a high level of sound insulation will keep the sleep of the restless owner.
Stylistic solutions
Perhaps the style of the room does not play a big role for small children, but the interior of your house will only benefit if even the nursery becomes part of it.
Let's try to pick up wallpapers for the most popular options.
Wallpaper for children in modern style
Following the rules of this trend in design, it is better to give preference to solid colors, coatings with a laconic pattern, or a combination of these two types. Strong, durable non-woven varieties will fit perfectly, because the modern style appreciates functionality and practicality. However, it offers a wide field for experimentation, so liquid wallpaper will also look quite appropriate.
Wallpaper for children in classic style
As already mentioned, textile wallpapers are ideal for classics, which will decorate the interior with their luxurious texture. But if there is no point in scrupulous adherence to traditions, then any kind with a suitable pattern is possible. It can be a delicate floral ornament for girls, a more strict "cage" or "stripe" for boys, or maybe plain surfaces for those who prefer a modern interpretation.
Wallpaper for a nursery in Provence style
This interior is perfect for little dreamy girls who love light and space.
A small "flower" will complement the white-painted wooden furniture, and the use of pastel shades will create the right atmosphere. If you are not worried about the durability of wall decoration, then you can stop at paper wallpaper.
Pop art nursery wallpaper
Bright and stylish pop art will appeal to creative individuals who are not indifferent to comics, cartoons, and other aspects of pop culture. The choice of wallpaper for such a nursery is varied: a colorful ornament or a photo wallpaper with popular characters. In this case, the main thing is not to overdo it by balancing the plot with neutral colors.
Wallpaper for children in space style
Of course, times are changing, but even today you can find children who dream of becoming astronauts. Caring parents can partially make wishes come true by “letting in” a little space into the interior of the nursery. The easiest way to achieve this is with the help of wall decoration, since photo wallpapers with realistic images of outer space are very popular today.
This solution is more suitable for boys, but for girls you can also find wallpapers with beautiful drawings.
The color of the wallpaper for the nursery: which one to choose?
It's no secret that color affects the human mind, and for sensitive children with their immature tastes, choosing a finish can be a key moment.
White wallpaper
White is chosen not because there is not enough imagination for other combinations. It just serves as an ideal background for filling the room with objects, looks great with any colors, and also has a beneficial effect on the child's psyche, calming even the most active child. Such wallpaper for a children's room can be plain or decorated with a small pattern.
Beige wallpaper
A good option for a teenager or a little girl who will fit into the style of Provence. It looks very natural, light and fresh, can be combined with light wood. This shade of wallpaper will help create a cozy atmosphere in which even an adult child will want to return again and again.
Pink wallpaper
A traditionally girlish color, soft shades of which will suit sophisticated, sensitive natures, and will also help to develop femininity and friendliness in them. To avoid the stereotypical "princess" interior, it is recommended to combine pink wallpaper for the nursery with neutral furniture or choose a patterned finish in such colors.
Blue wallpaper
Although in society it is customary to consider blue as a purely boyish color, but pastel blue can fit perfectly into a nursery and for a girl. It gives relaxation, peace, a dreamy mood, just as one who contemplates the heavenly distances and seascapes is immersed in his thoughts. Looks good in rooms with windows facing south.
Green wallpaper
Green is a godsend for parents who want to improve their children's academic performance. This is a shade of people who love life and nature. Psychologists say that the use of green wallpaper in the children's room, especially in the work area, will help the child concentrate and also activate brain activity.
However, for highly active individuals, it is worth choosing pastel options.
Wallpaper for a small children's room
The choice of wallpaper depends not least on the size of the room. If this indicator is small, then it is worth, instead of absolute aesthetics, to put more practical goals in the first place. Fortunately, by choosing the right one for your space, you can not only avoid the effect of “pressing walls”, but also expand them a bit.
The first rule is no to dark shades. They visually limit the interior. Perhaps, the feeling of chamber space seems cozy to someone, but there is nothing more comfortable than a spacious and bright room.
The same applies to large drawings. It is better to forget about photo wallpapers in a small nursery, besides, they are unlikely to be noticeable behind the furniture. It is permissible to use only a cover with small images. Stripes - vertical or horizontal - will also help to increase the area of \u200b\u200bthe room.
Wallpaper combination in the nursery
To diversify the design of a child's room, you can use several types of wallpaper with each other or with other finishes. The most popular solution is to combine photo wallpaper on one side with a plain coating on the other. It can be paper, non-woven wallpaper, a painted wall or decorative plaster. Here the rule of balancing applies - bright neutral.
In a classic interior, you can combine textile wallpapers with wood panels to create an authentic atmosphere.
Various combinations can also serve practical purposes. For example, in the part of the room where the child is engaged in creativity or is actively spending time, you can glue more durable wallpapers that can be cleaned; and for the sleep area, get an economical paper look with a bright pattern.

Parents always decorate the nursery with love, carefully think over the design, choose the finish. And the basis of the style in such a room will always be children's wallpaper. We wallpaper the nursery with teddy bears, and then change them to superheroes or pirate ships, or opt for a neutral, calm classic from the very beginning. In any case, you need to know which wallpaper to choose for the nursery so that they do not violate the microclimate of the room and match the child's age.
In any case, get ready for the fact that the design of the nursery will have to be changed as the child grows up: the room of a newly born baby and the room of a teenager are two different worlds. Fortunately, designers have developed so many patterns for different ages, from preschoolers to students, that the catalog of children's wallpapers will certainly offer you the right solution.
Step one - choose the material for the wallpaper for the nursery
The most beautiful wallpaper for the nursery can be inappropriate if you choose the wrong material. Traditionally, paper is chosen for this room. There are a lot of suitable patterns in the paper wallpaper segment: there are cities, and birds, and cars, and funny soft toys, and airplanes with balloons, and royal furniture, and princess dresses. Such coatings allow you to quickly create the right mood due to patterns and at the same time do not disturb the microclimate in the bedroom, because the paper is both breathable and environmentally friendly.
There is only one drawback - the paper will not last long. These coatings are prone to fading in the sun, but most likely children will paint them much earlier. To the fact that wallpaper for children cannot be kept on the walls for a long time, you need to be prepared.
Even if the kid does not decide to color them, he will still grow out of the selected patterns so quickly that the finish will have to be changed.
You can also buy non-woven wallpaper for the children's room. These coatings are also quite safe and are considered environmentally friendly. But they are somewhat denser than paper. A more practical option would be canvases for painting. Then you can easily change the color of the finish or paint over your own creativity of the baby. The texture is selected universal - for example, under plaster.
Vinyl beautiful wallpapers are considered the most practical. Such canvases will please with durability, ease of gluing, high rates of color fastness.
But in the rooms of the crumbs, which will quickly grow out of a cute picture with funny little animals, such wallpapers are still not needed - there is no point in overpaying for their durability. But the wallpaper in the nursery of teenagers may well be vinyl - in this segment, many thematic paintings are produced, for example, in the style of pop art, vintage, loft. Variants of children's wallpapers for teenagers: with flags, with balloons, with maps, with gears.
Liquid wallpapers can also often be seen in interior photos. This is not quite a wallpaper, but a decorative plaster based on textile fibers. It is considered completely safe, easy to apply, does not attract dust, but does not differ in moisture resistance. But the contaminated area with liquid wallpaper can be replaced. This option is a good wallpaper in the nursery for children of different sexes. You choose only a universal shade, and the texture, reminiscent of plaster, will suit anyone.
But this is not all types of children's wallpapers. It should be noted separately photo wallpapers, bright panels that are pasted on a free wall in a room and attract all the attention. They are made, as a rule, on a paper basis and require accuracy when gluing, but the result is worth it - you get an expressive accent on the wall, a real window to another world that is close and understandable to your child.
Step two - choose the color of the wallpaper for the walls of the children's room
The best wallpapers for kids are the ones that your child will love. However, the task of parents is to direct the choice in the right direction. As for color, it is important to take into account the temperament of the baby. If he is very active and mobile, then you can “mute” his activity a little by using neutral colors in the decoration. If the child, on the contrary, is too calm, then the decoration can be made dynamic and bright, but not defiant.
Psychologists have already written entire volumes about how the color of the wallpaper in the nursery affects the psyche of the baby. And you should listen to them when choosing a finish:
- White children's wallpaper symbolizes cleanliness and freshness. They are easily complemented by decor in bright colors and can "grow" with the child. Keep in mind that they are not very practical.
- Peach and yellow hues help you study and stimulate new discoveries. On the walls in the nursery, they look amazingly cheerful.
- Pink is a girly color. The wallpaper in the girls' nursery will most likely be pink, or at least with splashes of this color.
- Green wallpaper in the nursery. This is the most natural and calm solution, not capable of causing aggression. But pure green is not perceived very interesting, so it is worth choosing a finish with a pattern - for example, with white or pink.
- Blue wallpaper in the nursery is the choice for boys.
Choose the saturation of blue based on the level of natural light in the room.
If you decide to combine wallpaper in the nursery, you still have to stick to the chosen color scheme. It can be a combination of blue and white or pink and coffee. You can enter a third color as an accent, but do not use 4-5 or more colors. Excessive variegation will irritate the child on a subconscious level. To pick up children's wallpapers, be guided by modern designer collections - they are harmonious, and the color scheme, and the combination of patterns.
You will find bright children's wallpapers in almost all catalogs. Special darkening of the room is not only forbidden, but very undesirable, because the atmosphere of the room should remain cheerful. Children's bright wallpapers are also not always suitable. For example, they can be a good eye-catching accent in the room of a two-year-old baby, but an active teenager will be annoying. Therefore, consider the temperament and preferences of your child.
According to general recommendations, without consulting with him, you are unlikely to find a suitable combination of wallpaper in the nursery.
The third step is to choose a picture on the wall in the children's room. Focusing on age
Wallpaper for a baby's nursery is a combination of pastel and bright colors. Clear drawings on the wall are not welcome, an unobtrusive repeating pattern will be quite enough. If your baby is 3-4 years old, then you should alternate wallpaper with thematic drawings and clean background canvases in natural colors. The drawings on the wallpaper in the nursery at this age are very bright and large - these are all kinds of cartoon characters or books. Artistic talents wake up in children under the age of 6 years. Therefore, you can safely choose inexpensive children's wallpapers - anyway, after a couple of years they will have to be changed. An interesting solution would be coloring wallpapers with outlines of drawings.
Such children's wallpaper pictures are very interesting and are always perceived with a bang, because creativity is also encouraged!
And if you are decorating a room for a child of 9-11 years old, then children's wallpaper for the walls should be of high quality. This is a period of conservatism. If you want to radically change something in the nursery, you will meet resistance. At this age, drawings on the wall in the nursery are considered the most popular, and they must have a clear gender difference: cars for boys, princesses for girls. Children's wallpapers for boys can be with images of knights, robots, technology, fantastic cities, high-speed race tracks. And children's wallpapers for girls will be decorated with cute animals, butterflies and flowers.
Avoid abstract drawings (they are too difficult to read) and complex repeating geometric patterns (they are too boring for most children). On the other hand, children's marine wallpapers are almost always perceived positively by both girls and boys.
You can also use striped children's wallpapers - such canvases will serve as a neutral background.
By the way, wall stickers in the nursery will help you quickly and easily change the interior. If you chose high-quality coatings from the very beginning and do not plan to make repairs in the next 3-5 years, then allow your child to choose suitable stickers and decorate the walls with them. Vinyl stickers have a variety of themes, from knights to fairies. They are easy to stick on and just as easy to remove without damaging the walls.
How the wallpaper will look in the interior depends on the area of the room. Do not overload a modest space with too large patterns. Wallpaper in a small nursery should be neutral and soft. Then you can use decorative bright elements without overloading the space. And of course, before buying, it is better to evaluate children's wallpapers in the photo - so you will get a complete picture of how the picture you have chosen will look in space, and you will not be mistaken.
