Wallpaper for a child's room: how to choose

Sooner or later in the life of every family there arises a need for home renovation.

Updating the interior of a child's room makes parents think about what kind of wallpaper to choose for his living space.

Nowadays, stores offer a wide range of wall canvases. It is easy to get lost in such a wide variety, says Yulia Tychino .

Although you can always contact the consultant managers who will provide support and help you make the right choice, you still need to know about some features of choosing wallpaper for a child’s room.

There are several factors to consider, key among them being age and gender.

Age

If the child is still small and under five years old, then when choosing canvases for the walls, you can focus on budget class wallpaper. Children at this age often discover creative talents in themselves.

Many begin to draw actively. And not only in notebooks and albums, but also on the walls. Therefore, after some time, the wallpaper will be decorated with the baby's drawings and parents will have to think about updating the walls in his room.

If the child is 6-10 years old, then wallpaper with a pattern will be a great choice. Images of heroes of favorite fairy tales or animals will please the baby. Such a design in his room will create a pleasant atmosphere.

For children over 10 years old, it is best to choose wallpaper in subdued shades. But you need to take into account that soon the child will become a teenager and will express his opinion on how his room should be decorated.

His approach to room design often differs sharply from his parents' preferences. Therefore, to avoid conflict situations, wallpaper should be chosen together.

Gender of the child

If the task is to update the wallpaper in a girl's room, then the main attention should be focused on colors. The choice can be made in favor of shades that are characterized by warmth and tenderness. These are yellow, pink and peach.

If you want to choose wallpaper with pictures, you should choose models of canvases with flowers or unusual patterns. An excellent solution is thematic photo wallpaper based on fairy tales or cartoons popular with girls.

For a room where a boy will live, you should buy wallpaper in cool shades. These are all variations of gray, blue and green.

Often, when decorating, parents choose wallpaper with a marine theme or buy photo wallpaper with images of popular cartoon characters.

If both a boy and a girl coexist in one room, then a good solution is to divide the room into zones.

Each one is designed according to its own theme or with a specific pattern.
Another important point when choosing wallpaper for a child’s room is the environmental friendliness of the coating.

The wallpaper that will be used to decorate the walls of a child’s room should not emit substances that are dangerous to the child’s body.
