Choosing wallpaper for a children’s room

Wallpaper is used very often to decorate children’s rooms. The decoration is inexpensive, it is easy to replace if necessary, the choice of decor is very large. Let’s, together with the site Our site, see what wallpapers for children are popular today, and also figure out the features of their choice.

Psychologists advise taking into account the age of the child when choosing wallpaper for a nursery:

• Toddlers under 3 years old. Babies and crumbs a little older need a calm, peaceful environment. Wallpaper in the nursery for newborns should be neutral, pastel, without bright patterns.
• Preschoolers under 6 years old. This is the period of cartoons, bright decor and favorite characters. Wallpapers can be very different, but in any case, very interesting, fabulous.
• Schoolchildren under 10 years old. This is a fairly calm period of growing up, you need to take into account the gender of the child, his hobbies, but also prefer a neutral color scheme.
• Teenagers. These are already practically formed personalities, their wishes and interests must be taken into account. Wallpaper for children’s rooms of high school students is very different, often it is just a background for posters and drawings reflecting the owner’s hobbies.

Wallpaper-coloring stands apart. They allow children to show creative impulses, who themselves will decorate their room. They are suitable for children up to a maximum of 7-9 years old, then they are unlikely to be interesting.

Regarding which type of wallpaper is better to choose for a nursery, the designers are unanimous – paper! They are the most environmentally friendly and at the same time inexpensive, it will be easy to change. Yes, they will wear out quickly enough, but after all, the child is growing, you do not glue wallpaper for 10 years, maximum for 5. You can, of course, use other natural wallpapers, the pros and cons of which the portal has already written about. But they are more expensive, finishing costs will increase dramatically.

In addition, you can choose non-woven wallpaper for the nursery, although the choice of patterns may be less.

Designers do not advise buying vinyl and textile wallpapers for children’s rooms. The former do not allow the walls to “breathe”, the question arises about the microclimate of the room. And textile wallpapers are expensive, have low wear resistance and collect dust..

Choosing wallpaper for a children’s room can be more difficult than a floor covering. In any case, we recommend using a finish with a large pattern and noticeable patterns only for one wall, which will become the focal point, accent. An overly saturated picture will annoy, and not only you, but also the child himself. Let the rest of the walls be neutral, background, because there are enough bright colors in the nursery..
