Options for wallpaper in the nursery. Rules for choosing wallpaper for a nursery: general requirements

When choosing children's wallpaper for decorating your baby's room, you can initially start from two points:

you are decorating a room for a newborn;
you are decorating a room for a child 3 years old and older.

Baby paper wallpaper: decoration of the first room of the baby

In the first case, you need to take the following basic tips into service:

The wall covering must be natural. Thus, the choice of wallpaper mainly comes down to the catalogs of paper coatings.

Each manufacturer has a collection of paper wallpaper, with the exception of only Italian and German factories specializing in the production of “elite” textile wallpapers (this is Rasch Textil Germany), and Italian factories Italreflexes, Zambaiti, Sangiorgio). Textiles are also not bad, but as for a short-term cover in a nursery, they are too luxurious. In a word, textiles look and cost "not childish". So, commonplace plain wallpaper will cost you $ 75 / roll (the standard roll for textile wallpaper is 1.06x10.05 m), and the floral ornament from Rasch Textil (pictured below), for example, already at $ 194 / roll.

Many manufacturers bring wallpaper models suitable for decorating the walls of a children's room into separate collections. We find these, for example, in directories:

Wallquest (USA) - Playdate Again, Jelly Beans;
York (USA) - Honey Bunny, Disney, Brothers and Sisters, Boy's world;
Blue Mountain (USA) - Bright Ideas, My Pad;
Eijffinger (Netherlands) - Wallpower For Kids, Wallpower Unlimited, Hits for Kids, Wallpower Next, Wallpower Mini, PIP Wallpapers;
A.S. Creation (Germany) - Boys and girls, ESPRIT The Kids Collection;
Marburg (Germany) - Manekin.

Wallpaper for the nursery should be muted light colors with animalistic, floral, "cartoon" ornaments. Some factories' designer collections contain dark wallpaper for the nursery: for example, the KELLY HOPPEN collection (produced by Graham & Brown, England), the Rose model.

You can use such wallpaper in the interior of a nursery, however, for children of school or senior school age due to the aggressiveness of the color wall covering, and even then - it is better to use them not for finishing the entire perimeter of the room, but rather for zoning: highlighting a certain area of the room. A little below about the child's perception of the color of the room and the effect of color on the child.

Traditionally, the wallpaper in the room for newborns is selected according to the principle: blue for boys, pink for girls. In the case of young children, the concept of "unisex" is valid. For example, if you move away from "tradition" and paste over the walls of your son's room with light yellow wallpaper? In this case, a combination of wallpaper will be appropriate: a combination of a yellow background with a dark border looks good.

Another option: dividing the room with wallpaper of two colors horizontally - no one will say that something is wrong with the decoration of the boy's nursery.

The same can be said about decorating a room for a newborn girl. Pastel blue tones (a common variant - blue wallpaper with clouds) - can also be attributed to the "unisex" class.

Children's wallpaper for walls: if the child has grown up

The child begins to perceive the color of the room surrounding him for most of the day from infancy, however, the color will begin to influence the formation of certain character traits later.

Psychologists advise changing the interior of the nursery depending on the age of the child:

gluing the appropriate wallpaper when the baby appears in the house;
interior change after 3 years;
preparation of the room for the "school" period;
changing the look of the room for a teenager (14 years old and older).

IMPORTANT! In some cases, the first and second periods are grouped into the "From birth to 6 years" class.

The advice is quite practical, because ideally, for the same periods, not only the appearance of the room should change, but also its furnishings in connection with the changing needs of the child.

We have touched upon the first period above. Now let's talk about the rest.

The manufacturer also helps us a lot here, presenting collections that are also conditionally divided according to the age and gender of the child:

for decorating the walls of a child's age from 3 to 7 years, developing wallpapers with favorite cartoon characters (in this case, the most appropriate collection "Disney", made in York, USA) or with a pattern corresponding to the first hobbies of the child;

for the wallpaper that will be used to paste over the child's room for the period of primary and secondary school years, it is better to choose wallpaper that is plain or with an unobtrusive pattern, such wallpapers can be distinguished working area nursery, so that the wall covering does not distract the fidget from studying; also, this wallpaper should slightly deviate from the definition of "baby wallpaper", i.e. wallpapers with cars, designers, bears and other cartoon animals are no longer suitable;

By the way, sticking large-format wallpapers or wallpaper panels on the walls (as in the photo above) is an excellent option, but if you are thinking of repairing the nursery yourself, you will have to tinker with such a canvas pretty much.

But in the interior, these wallpapers look great! Full-fledged shots look good in this format: a city, an exotic landscape, or even a snapshot from a memorable family trip on March 8 (made to order at regional factories or photo studios).

One of the latest fashion trends for children is 3D wallpaper. However, in terms of environmental friendliness, it is better to use such a coating only for rooms of children from 14 and older.

should be based on the preferences of the child himself - here the character and hobbies of the student are of paramount importance - so before choosing the wallpaper, ask the child's opinion: let him decide for himself what “beautiful wallpaper” is for him, he is interested in pictures on the wallpaper or he prefers wallpaper without a pattern (parental "veto", of course, remains in force).

Wallpaper color for the nursery: little tricks

Cars, flowers and stripes on the walls of the nursery are one of the main guidelines when choosing a wall covering. Although the color of the picture, as well as the color of the base of the canvases, should be paid no less attention.

Here are some secrets of the influence of color on a child (by the way, in most cases the same principles are valid for an adult):

For a child-sleepyhead, whose morning rise is a daily feat for you, it is better to decorate the room in warm, so-called "cozy" shades. These are yellow, light brown, pastel orange, green colors. The same color scheme can, to some extent, help to "talk" the uncommunicative baby and give a boost of energy every new day.

When decorating a room for an inactive child can also use bright elements: for example, contrasting stuffed toys, as well as stickers or bright borders on the walls. In such a room, the child will be able not only to develop creatively, but also how to relax. As one of the options, wallpaper with polka dots: on pastel tone bases look great multi-colored circles, "peas" or other bright small drawing.

IMPORTANT! It is not recommended to use too many bright, "flashy" colors, because the color can play a cruel joke: from a small child-lazy person can be turned into not just an active one, but into hyperactive child, and in addition - nervous, aggressive and capricious. So it will be enough to dilute the pastel with two or three bright spots, and not paint the room "like a harlequin".

Alternative by contradiction: What color can help calm a hyperactive child? Shades of neutral / cold colors can come to the rescue here: beige, pale green, pastel shades of blue, etc.

These shades have a number of secrets:

room wall design, made in blue For example, it can help relieve emotional stress, relax after a hard / stressful day, create an atmosphere of safety;

Dark colors are not the best choice for the nursery: according to psychologists, saturated dark shades act depressingly on the emotional development of the child, often provoking depressive states.

Children's wallpaper: buy

And finally, about the prices.

In the “affordable and tasteful” price category, there are wallpapers from German manufacturers. Here prices on average do not rise above $ 21-31 / roll, but the minimum price is only 7 $... German wallpapers have taken root in our market because they withstand price competition with wallpaper domestic production exceeding them in quality and design. Paper wallpaper from a Belarusian wallpaper factory, for example, can cost from $ 2.5 per roll.

In the “above average” price category, the undoubted leader is American paper wallpaper for children's rooms. Here the price practically does not fall below the $ 62 mark. The difference, you see, is significant. So, a room with an area of 12 m² can be pasted over with German wallpaper for $ 250-450 (if you take the lower price sector, then $ 100-120 will be enough), and for wallpaper from the USA you will have to pay about $ 750-920. Despite the fact that the price is almost twice as much, American wallpapers do not differ in quality from German ones, but the pattern is more pleasant, more "childish", so to speak. And there are much more decor options for the accompanying materials for American wallpaper.

Good children's wallpaper simply cannot be cheap, like any high-quality product, in principle. So, the most expensive category is panels and widescreen wallpapers. Not many manufacturers are engaged in the production of such wallpapers for children (Eijffinger, Netherlands; York USA). Prices for such wallpapers can jump up to $ 375 per panel. In this case, you will receive a canvas with dimensions of 1.86x2.6 m or a canvas of 3.25x2.6 m.

Let's summarize.

How to choose wallpaper for a nursery: briefly about the main thing

For decorating the walls of the children's room, pastel-colored paper wallpapers with a bright contrasting pattern / stickers (these can be both vinyl stickers and luminous phosphoric stickers) on the theme of flora and fauna, with the image of the child's favorite cartoon characters (Disney characters or “ Winx ", for example) or on the topic of your child's hobbies (cats, planes, constellations, adventures, etc.), selected according to the child's age and character traits.

Children love to paint or glue posters. Paper wallpapers don't last very long, so kids wall art won't hit your wallet hard and you can easily change them.
Vinyl wallpaper is not the best option for a nursery, because they are easily damaged.

Wallpaper for children's room - color

For wallpaper in a children's room, of course, color and pattern are important. The best color solution for such wallpaper would be an option light color, dim and calm. Saturated and bright wallpaper annoying children. A drawing on the theme of "sea", "fairy tale", "football" is well suited. It all depends on the preferences of the child. Drawings, again, should be soft, preferably in pastel colors.

The design of the children's room should push the child to play mental activities, while not injuring the child's psyche and not hurting his temperament.

Naturally, a room for a child should become his home, his fortress, in which he will be cozy, comfortable, calm. If the child is already big enough to have an opinion, listen carefully to him if you do not want the situation to have a depressing effect on the child's psyche.

Believe us, parents, it is not always better to know exactly what a child needs. Try to listen to his thoughts and come to a compromise.

If the baby is very small, when choosing wallpaper for a children's room, by all means, take into account his temperament. So, for example, psychologists say that warm gentle colors... More emotional natures are best suited for cold, but not dark shades. If the child is passive and lazy, it is best to paste over the walls in the nursery with wallpaper with a bright pattern or rich color.

It is believed that the peach and apricot color will make the environment in the nursery warm and safe. Yellow shades awakens in the child a craving for learning and knowledge. In general, gentle tones of wallpaper for a children's room create a favorable, sunny atmosphere of warmth and comfort.

Wallpaper for the children's room. Drawing

To date, there are on sale various wallpapers with drawings of characters from children's cartoons, as well as birds, animals, fairy-tale castles, etc. Many parents believe that wallpaper should be bright. If your child shares your opinion, please! It all depends on everyone's personal taste. Some children, on the other hand, will like more calm tones.

When choosing a drawing, remember the golden rule: too frequent a picture gets tired, moreover, it can quickly get bored. It's good if the wallpaper for the children's room depicts a single drawing or one plot that can be played up thanks to the interior. For example, flowers and butterflies on the wallpaper will complement a small green rug near the crib , which will act as a lawn.

How to choose wallpaper for children of different sexes

If you cannot allocate a room for each child, you can use such a technique as zoning and choose different wallpapers for different children's corners. Older children dream of their own separate zone, even if it is not limited by walls. The personal area can be highlighted with wallpaper of a certain color (for girls and boys). The girlish half can be pasted over with polka-dot wallpaper, and the boyish half can be striped.

When using companion wallpaper, you should choose calm and invigorating options. Dark shades it is better to sweep it aside right away, or use it in a minimum amount for an accent. Psychologists call the ideal wallpaper for the room of heterosexual children green, orange and yellow.

The correct choice of wallpaper is 75% of success, because the wallpaper in the children's room sets the basic tone and character of the interior. Offer your child interesting ideas, remember what you wanted as a child! We are confident that your joint project will exceed all expectations!

Children's wallpaper - how to choose a pattern for children's wallpaper?

Drawings on the wallpaper should correspond to the age development of the child.

Babies up to four years old images on wallpaper in the form of stars, flowers and other pictures without story lines are suitable. When choosing a pattern, remember that too much wallpaper can be tiring and boring. It is better to focus on a single drawing or plot that will be in demand when playing with a child.
From the age of four wallpaper pictures can contain a storyline: characters from your favorite cartoons. Usually, boys prefer pictures with cars, airplanes and other equipment. Girls, as a rule, like drawings with bears, dolls, for example, "Barbie". Wallpapers with cartoon characters are the most popular and are liked by children of all ages.

The creation of an interior is an important and responsible occupation, because a child begins to understand the world from his personal space. He will spend enough time in the room, playing, studying and relaxing, so it is so important that the space is comfortable, safe and pleasant to the baby himself. The walls occupy the most large area, therefore requires responsibility and always causes the most difficulties. Today the most popular materials for wall decoration in the nursery are, but their variety in stores can confuse anyone. How to choose exactly those wallpapers in the nursery that will meet all the requirements?

Choosing a material

The main requirement to all materials in the children's room, incl. and to the wallpaper - this is their safety and naturalness... Besides, the ability to pass air It is also necessary, because the microclimate in the room depends on this, but the ability to wash the wallpaper and erase the drawings of the kids from them will be a pleasant addition.

Not all types of currently existing wallpaper are suitable for a children's room. The following meet the maximum specified requirements:

- this is the # 1 wallpaper for children's rooms, since they are made from natural materials, they do not include substances harmful to health, such material is able to "breathe". In addition, paper wallpapers have a budget price and a huge assortment of patterns. Their main disadvantage is fragility and the inability to wash them, but these disadvantages can be easily turned into advantages. At first, psychologists recommend changing the wallpaper in the nursery every two years to promote the development of your baby. Secondly, replacing paper wallpaper is easy and inexpensive, and children can paint on the walls to their heart's content. The trickiest option- use paper wallpaper only on the lower third of the wall, and the rest can be made from other more interesting wallpapers by arranging a border strip at the junction;
- a real find for children. it safe material, which contains only natural ingredients, they allow air to pass through, but due to their structure, they have good indicators of heat and sound insulation. Moreover, they do not attract dust, are fireproof, do not fade, they are easy to restore and clean, they can be repainted several times, therefore any children's fun this wallpaper does not care;
and plant wallpaper consist of two layers: a paper base and particles of plant materials attached to it, this can be cork, jute, rattan, reed, etc. This is the most environmentally friendly and safe material that has heat and sound insulation properties, it perfectly allows air to pass through, but there are also disadvantages. So, for example, cork wallpapers are limited in colors, a little boring for a preschooler's room and junior student, but for older children will be just right. Such wallpapers are very expensive, so they are not suitable for rooms inhabited by children under 6-8 years old who want to tear off and explore even such expensive material;
considered not the most the best material, if upper layer made of foamed vinyl - such material does not allow air to pass through. For children's rooms it is necessary to look for such wallpaper, where the upper vinyl layer will have pores for the passage of air: such wallpapers are much more expensive, but they meet all the requirements, and also boast a sufficient selection of patterns;
can also be used in the nursery. They should not be confused with non-woven wallpaper. Non-woven is natural material, is made on the basis of cellulose fibers. Wallpaper is characterized by airtightness, fire safety, they can be painted several times, but there are also disadvantages: a small choice and not the best low price;
ideal in terms of sound and heat insulation qualities, appearance, environmental friendliness, as they are made of threads attached to paper backing... Such wallpapers can attract dust, so only those that have been treated with a special impregnation are suitable for a nursery. The main disadvantage is the high price;
can diversify the nursery. You should be prepared for the fact that the kid will want to draw them at any moment, but, on the other hand, changing them is not so difficult. can be anything and set the mood of the nursery: for younger children, these can be stories from fairy tales, cartoon characters, pleasant natural landscapes, images of athletes, maps from an atlas, etc., are suitable for schoolchildren;
- a material that is easy to wash, difficult to damage, it does not emit harmful substances, eco-friendly, durable and non-flammable, but boring appearance reduces the popularity of material for children's rooms, although the wallpaper can be repainted several times;
wallpaper-coloring- a kind of ordinary paper wallpaper, which will become not just an opportunity for a child, but a reason to paint on the walls. This is a giant coloring book with a lot of elements: you can take felt-tip pens and paint as you wish. Similarly, it is better to finish only one wall or part of it in the nursery.

Whatever wallpaper is chosen, before buying it does not hurt to look at the certificate from the manufacturer, which confirms the environmental friendliness of the material, the absence of harmful fumes and compliance with all sanitary standards.

Wallpaper color

The appearance of the wallpaper is at least important factor when choosing, than the material of manufacture. Today on sale there are monochromatic wallpapers of all colors, with any, even the most intricate pattern, depicting birds, butterflies, flowers, balls, cars, heroes of fairy tales and cartoons, etc. It will be possible to decorate any children's room in the conceived style. If the child can already independently evaluate things and express their tastes, then the kid must also participate in the selection of new wallpapers, because the room should be comfortable, first of all, for him. Parents should consider the following recommendations:

The color scheme of the nursery is largely determined by the color of the wallpaper. Do not forget that color can affect the psyche and subconsciousness of a child:

green color stimulates the desire for development and learning;
blue color contributes to the formation of a creative personality;
White color perfect for an active child, it will calm him down a little and at the same time will become an excellent background for bright details in the room. White color great for low-light rooms;
yellow, as already mentioned, brings cheerfulness, positive emotions to the room, increases intelligence, promotes active mental activity;
beige neutral colors also great for the nursery, being the basis for bright color spots. Over the wallpaper in pastel shades, you can stick interesting vinyl stickers in some places, setting the atmosphere of the room, developing the child, but at the same time not interfering with a calm rest.

Choosing a color not worth doing typical mistakes which can make the space visually darker or smaller. So, for small children's rooms it is better to use only light shades, in large spaces one or more of the walls can be decorated in rich shades, giving the room a cosiness. If there is not enough light in the nursery or it faces the north side, which is undesirable, then you can correct the defect with the help of wallpaper in warm colors. To compensate for the excess of sunlight, you can, on the contrary, with wallpaper of cold shades.

Wallpaper and child's age

Naturally, the interior of the children's room should change as the baby grows up. There is no single rule for all children's rooms, but psychologists recommend adhering to some recommendations in the design of space for a child of different ages:

for babies up to 2 years old it is recommended to use wallpaper with large catchy drawings, since at this time the child actively learns the world and will be happy to look at unusual illustrations. In the recreation area, there should not be bright ornaments, so as not to disturb sleep - here they use pastel-colored wallpaper;
when the child is 2 to 4 years old it is better to use wallpaper in natural shades, and decorate the walls with drawings of a child and posters depicting heroes of fairy tales and cartoons. You can also decorate the walls with animal stickers, but their size should not be more growth the baby itself;
for preschooler choose calm and discreet shades, and since this is the time of the most active creativity and games that can affect the state finishing material walls, it is better to use wallpaper in two levels: the lower part is simpler and in case of damage it can be replaced without severe damage to the budget, the upper one has a decorative function. Another solution in this case is coloring wallpaper;
for a child 6-9 years old interesting wallpapers are suitable, but not necessarily with pictures. A great option is a vertical strip. If now friends of your child regularly gather and play in the children's room, which is typical for this period, then you simply cannot imagine anything better than liquid wallpaper;
from 9 years old it is imperative to consult with your child when choosing wallpaper. It is important to take into account its requirements, but make sure that the material meets safety requirements.

In addition, you need to take into account baby gender: for girls, yellow, pink, pastel are becoming traditional shades, for a boy - blue, green, but there are always exceptions to the rule.

Wallpaper drawing and combination

Despite the fact that the modern wallpaper market offers us a lot of different options for wallpaper patterns, choosing the right one is not always easy. It is necessary to take into account not only the tastes and preferences of the child, the design of the nursery, but also the influence of ornaments on the psyche. So, too frequent repetitive drawing can tire the child- it is better if there is one on the wallpaper large drawing or a whole plot, or even better, if the ornament can be beaten with the help of the interior. So, the continuation of flowers and butterflies on the wallpaper can be a green rug resembling a lawn.

Children's room is a child's personal space. This is the place where he spends most of his time, so it is not so easy to finish in such a room. It is very important to choose the right wallpaper for the children's room in order to create the most comfortable conditions for its growth and development.

Choosing the right interior design for a baby's space is not an easy task in itself, and besides, today there are too many different types of such finishes, and each collection is beautiful in its own way. At the same time, properly selected wallpapers can visually expand or narrow the space, and a successful combination of two types of canvases makes it possible to divide the interior into separate zones. This contributes to the creation of a comfortable environment and an atmosphere of coziness in the nursery.

The aesthetically appealing finish influences the formation of the psychological environment in the baby's room. Psychologists say that the color, as well as the texture of the wallpaper, can become one of the effective tools for raising a child, developing his imagination and logical thinking.

The psychological environment for a teenager is no less important. Buying wallpaper for a teen's room can help parents better understand their child, determine their taste preferences, as well as life orientations of the teenager.

Criterias of choice

Many parents are wondering which wallpaper options are best for a children's room, and which ones should not be paid attention to. The interior design of a nursery requires special attention to such wallpaper parameters as in the following table.

Professional designers with extensive experience say that there are many points that you should definitely take into account when decorating the interior of a children's room. In this case, it will be easy to choose a successful finish, and the finished interior will delight both the eyes and the soul of the baby.

Material selection

Today, there are so many different children's wallpaper collections on the shelves of hardware stores that it is impossible to immediately decide which collection is optimal and will fit into the design of a teenage bedroom or a schoolchild's room. At first, it seems that there is nothing difficult in choosing a design for a nursery. But the choice of wallpaper is very diverse, and accept correct solution deciding which collection is the most suitable is not easy.

When choosing finishes for a room where children of any age and gender live, experienced designers advise choosing only safe types of wallpaper for the walls. The main selection criterion in this aspect must certainly be the ecological purity and harmlessness of the material from which the collection is made. Today you can find many types of wall paintings, but not all of them are equally good.

Paper wallpaper

The most the best option in the ecological sense are the usual paper-based wall-paper for children. According to their composition, they do not contain synthetic additives, harmful substances, and do not have a pungent odor. To make sure of the quality of the selected roll, pay attention to the presence of a special certificate for the product. Reliable manufacturers always supply products with such a document, regardless of whether it is a collection, or separate species wallpaper.

Of course, you need to understand that paper canvases are rather short-lived. Also note that they are highly soiled and cannot be wiped clean with a brush or damp sponge. Although, perhaps, in such a room, the wallpaper should be changed at each stage of the child's growing up, so these paper shortcomings are not so significant. Look at the following photo of the interior of the nursery, where there is decoration on the walls paper wallpaper two colors.

The damaged canvas can be quickly re-glued. So many experienced parents use a combination of two types of wallpaper in the nursery, the photo below will demonstrate this technique. The canvases need to be glued to the wall as follows: plain walls on the bottom, and printed ones on top (with dinosaurs for a brave boy or flowers for a young girl). The options of two types are very convenient to quickly replace lower part when significant dirt, patterns, stains appear on the canvas.

The liquid wallpaper

Liquid wallpaper is considered a more practical type of wallpaper for children, differing high quality and environmental friendliness, because it is made from natural materials. The photo below demonstrates which interiors are obtained using liquid wallpaper.

Walls with finishes such as liquid wallpaper are soft and rough to the touch. Liquid canvases can be cleaned and repainted more than once, and if a significant defect has formed on any part of the wall, which cannot be cleaned, it can be restored by applying fresh material. If you have chosen liquid wallpaper, the joints will not be visible on them.

Liquid wallpaper provides excellent sound and thermal insulation for the room for children, but at the same time it does not interfere with the walls "breathing". This design is distinguished by a long service life, the absence in its composition toxic substances and low fire hazard. In addition, it should be noted that liquid wallpaper has a microporous structure. Before choosing the color of liquid wallpaper in the children's room, we advise you to look at a photo of examples. This will give you the opportunity to understand how beautiful liquid wallpaper looks and how it fits into the design of the room.

Cork, bamboo canvases

The design of the nursery with the use of a similar decoration on the walls is characterized by environmental friendliness and high aesthetics. Calm tones and natural shades of these types of wallpapers allow you to create a comfortable aura for babies in the room, as well as a peaceful atmosphere. In addition, it should be noted that this design has high wear resistance, because it is not afraid of either mechanical stress or dirt.

The cork and bamboo options shown in the photo are considered environmentally friendly, and will also help maintain optimal humidity levels in the nursery. In addition, this type of wallpaper does not accumulate dust and looks quite original.

Color solution

Psychologists have long come to the conclusion that the color scheme determines the psycho-emotional state of the child. This also applies to the interior decoration of the wallpaper in the children's room, as well as in the teenage bedroom.

We suggest considering a few of the most common options for a children's or teenage bedroom:

soft shades of yellow and Brown color will look great in a room for a little girl and in a room for a teenage boy. They allow you to visually expand the space. Moreover, in the first version, it is better to prefer such tones in combination with gold, and in the second - with dark blue or green;
shades of pink and lilac are more relevant for a teenage girl's bedroom. They work well with gray and light blue tones. The 3D collection looks very attractive in such color scheme with butterflies or floral patterns. A similar design is suitable for a romantic and dreamy person of a young age;
shades of blue or green are more suitable for boys. They are laconic and allow you to create a calm, welcoming atmosphere. Pay attention to the photo, which shows the interior in nautical theme... Also interesting option can be the application of wallpaper with dinosaurs for a child's boy;
shades of red or orange are suitable for children of two genders, but they should be used in moderation. These are vibrant colors, the abundance of which can increase a child's excitability. The only exception is a teenager's room, where the use of liquid wallpaper of a bright color is quite acceptable. But what wallpaper should you choose for a teen's room? In this case, the combination of canvases of two colors - bright and calm;
it is impractical and too uninteresting to use only white wallpaper on all walls in the children's room.

A collection of wallpapers in too dark and gloomy colors for babies is not relevant.

Wall decoration taking into account the age of the child

Experienced designers say that you need to choose wallpaper for a child's room taking into account the age of the child. After all, he is growing, developing, which means that the world that surrounds him must change. Each period of your child's life should take place in its own scenery. But there are universal collections that can be used for both the student's room and the teenage bedroom. There are also age-specific collections. Such canvases need to be selected especially for the age of your baby, because designs with Winnie the Pooh or Kolobok are unlikely to be appropriate in a room for a teenager.

In the first two years of a child's life, any cheerful design can suit him. Buy delicate rolls with butterflies for a girl, and with dinosaurs for a boy. Canvases with large drawings, as shown in the photo, are considered an excellent option. The kid will be interested in looking at the details of the image on the wallpaper with butterflies or cartoon characters.

For a child preschool age you should give preference to hand-drawn children's wallpaper, the photo below demonstrates such an interior. At this age, the kid has a favorite cartoon character, and it is they who can decorate the walls in the nursery.

It's also good to opt for 3D wallpaper. The interior of a children's room for a teenager with this design looks very unusual. The 3D effect interests the child and fascinates him, and it is also good in a teenage bedroom. You can play with color or combine rolls of two or more types, not forgetting about spectacular 3D options. However, it is better to refuse photo wallpapers with cartoon characters or dinosaurs.
