Modern wallpaper in the children's room

Wall decoration in the interior design of a children's room plays an important role, as Properly selected wallpaper will directly affect the overall emotional background and mood of the child. How to make a choice and what should be based on?

What criteria determine the choice

In order for your child, being in his room, to feel comfortable, reliable and protected, when choosing a wall covering, you should pay attention to the following criteria:

environmental friendliness (materials must be non-toxic and completely safe for the health of the child);
the coating should "breathe";
the choice of colors should be appropriate for the age and preferences of the child;
wall covering should be convenient and easy to clean

To all of the above, you can add one more point - if children are of preschool age, then coverage should not be expensive, because children tend to creatively develop on the walls, leaving traces of their creativity there.

Colors and colors

The choice of color for wallpaper in the children's room is extremely important, because according to psychologists, the psychoemotional development of the baby is extremely dependent on him. In this regard, it is desirable to avoid particularly bright colors. For girls, for example, pastel colors such as peach, pale pink, beige and green would be the best option.

If this is a room for a boy, then the most suitable are: blue, green, yellow and brown shades.

In addition to color, it is worth paying attention to the texture, as well as the coloring of the wallpaper. A universal pattern is a floral or floral ornament.

Also relevant are images of animals or heroes from your favorite cartoons. The main thing to avoid is abstraction, because Similar drawings are aimed at more adult people. Too clear patterns that can quickly tire a child are also undesirable. In general, it’s ideal to do this: place an image on one wall, and just leave the others monotonous.

Although, as a standard, wallpapers for girls in most cases are produced in white, pink or lilac shades that excite the imagination of little princesses representing themselves in the palace. For boys, the most common is the blue palette, contributing to the creation of a marine style in the room. There are also beige-green combinations of colors associated with the jungle in the baby.

Existing types of wallpaper for a nursery

Today, there is a wide variety in the selection of wallpapers for children. At the same time, they all have their own texture, their own material and design. But the most common at the moment are the following types:

paper wallpaper;
liquid wallpaper (reminiscent of decorative plaster with mineral or plant fibers);
photo and glass wallpaper (allow you to put any photo on the wall, up to your own portrait);
washable wallpaper

The use of vinyl (non-woven) wallpaper is strongly not recommended, as they "do not breathe" and deprive the room of air, badly influencing the microclimate. It is also best to refuse velor wallpapers, which are so fashionable and popular nowadays, because they will collect dust.

Now we will divide the children into age groups

Wallpaper in the children's room, first of all, must correspond to the age of the child, as well as gender. In this regard, for each age group, a certain type of wallpaper with a certain texture and color is suitable. Consider age groups in more detail:

newborns - this group includes children from 0 to 2 years of age, in other words, the main occupation for which is sleep, and therefore, the ideal solution for the baby will be wall covering, which has gentle, soothing pastel shades that promote relaxation ;

the second group includes children aged 2 to 5 years, whose circle of interests is already becoming much wider, in this case brighter wallpapers, for example, murals with cartoon characters, are suitable, especially if the baby has a calm character, if the child is too active and mobile, on the contrary, it is better to choose shades more calmly;

the third group includes children from 3 to 8 years old, already having their own hobbies, and each one has a different one, someone has a drawing, someone has a modeling clay, etc., for this group of children “educational” wallpapers with the image of plants, animals or the alphabet are especially popular

A child who has reached the age of eight can be safely taken by the hand and taken to the store to pick up wallpaper for the nursery with him, because at such an age, his opinion will be decisive, because it is him who is in this room most of the time.

What other ideas can be used

For example, a very good option would be to mix wallpapers of different types and colors. Also, in some cases, plain wallpaper does not lose at all with the fact that with a picture, and look very stylish.
And you can make a combined version of this geometry: harmoniously combine peas, squares, strip, hatching and cage.

By the way, you should not avoid black in the interior of a children's room. After all, black is considered the personification of night, sleep and peace. Also, this color helps to cure diseases, such as colds, as well as low blood pressure.
