Children's wallpaper

Each parent seeks to create for their child a comfortable, stylish and original room. He pays a lot of attention to the selection of furniture and textiles. However, the decoration of the walls in the organization of the interior of the children's room plays an equally important role. What children's wallpaper is suitable for the personal space of your child? Details about this in our article.

Among the many varieties of wallpaper should highlight their classification according to the material from which they are made.

• Paper. The most simple wallpaper, familiar to everyone. The cheapest finishing material, but because of this - short-lived.

• Flizelinovye. Also known as "wallpaper for painting." Today it is the most popular type of finishing material, belonging to the middle price category and having high performance characteristics.

• Acrylic. Such wallpaper for the price and durability are between paper and non-woven. They can be cleaned with a soft cloth, but they cannot stand moisture.

• Textile. Dear, but very high quality. A great option for the bedroom. The nursery will look great velor, felt, linen or silk variety of such wallpaper.

• Liquid. The youngest species. Their advantage is that liquid wallpaper helps not only to set a certain color to the interior, but also to create a very different surface relief.

• Glass fiber The main advantages of wallpaper made with the use of fiberglass can be called their refractoriness, resistance to chemical processing, and they also guarantee protection against the appearance of fungus and other microorganisms on the surface of the walls.

• Wall mural. Most often it is paper wallpaper, which is applied to photo printing. But there may be more expensive options made using sophisticated technology.

• Natural. Unique wallpapers that have not yet earned popularity in our country. The outer layer of such wallpaper - various types of plants. For the interior of the nursery, you can try, for example, bamboo. Cork options that are made from oak bark will also be very appropriate.

• Quartz. Very durable, amenable to washing and painting. High performance implies a reasonable price. But if you make a room for an adult child, you can turn to this option.

• Vinyl. This is a washable wallpaper of the average price category. Not the most typical option for finishing children. However, such wallpapers are found in various bedroom design projects for the child.

• Self adhesive Most often, this is a type of photo wallpaper or variants with original prints to revitalize individual zones in the interior.

• Glowing. Frequent choice for children's bedroom. On such a wallpaper, a phosphoric layer is applied on top of the patterns, which look quite normal in daylight, and at night, in the dark, illuminate the room with a pleasant glow. Also, designers love to make such a wallpaper with a surprise: in the afternoon no pattern is visible or there is only a part of the plot, and in the dark the continuation of the depicted story becomes visible, a unique night landscape unfolds.

It is necessary to take into account many factors: the sex and age of the child, his tastes and preferences, the style of the interior, as well as the specifics of the selection of colors and materials suitable for the health of the child.

Choosing the right wallpaper for children is easy - you just need to learn a few recommendations. Most often wallpaper is used for wall or ceiling decoration. For each of these types of surfaces has its own subtleties of choice.

To finish this part of the room you need to choose the most dense and durable wallpaper options that not only “dress” the ceiling of the children's bedroom, but also, if necessary, hide all the flaws (irregularities). The favorites in the ceiling decoration today are liquid wallpaper, as well as non-woven and vinyl. Simple wallpaper for the ceiling is already a kind of archaism: more effective in this regard, analogs have long ago ousted their paper progenitor from this position.

For the vertical surfaces of the children's bedroom will suit absolutely any version of the wallpaper. Each variety - from the cheapest to the elite - is represented today in a wide range of color and stylistic solutions.

In the design of a children's bedroom, wallpaper for walls can serve one of two purposes: either it is an exclusively aesthetic component of the interior, or it is a tool for maximum ergonomic room. In the first case, the choice of wallpaper depends largely on the style of the interior, the predominant color scheme and other similar factors. In the second version, the leading role is played by the set of useful functions that parents place on the walls of the nursery.

A child - both independently and in the company of parents - can paint such wallpapers to their own taste, do it with paints, pencils, felt-tip pens - as soon as your heart desires.

Another option for realizing the creative potential of a child on the walls of his room is magnetic wallpaper. Such a surface will allow the baby to create around his own new design every day. For an older child, such walls are an opportunity to organize your working space: place notes with reminders in prominent places, attach your schedule to a magnetic surface and simply store funny pictures or figurines of magnetics.

• For newborns. From the moment of birth and up to the age of two, the main occupation of any child is sleep. Therefore, for this period, children are equipped with rooms according to one simple principle: so that the baby is comfortable there, he can stay at rest and sleep sweetly. These goals are monochrome wallpaper of muted tones. A two-color solution is also permissible: it can be a vertical stripe or a print (not too frequent and small).

• 2–5 years old. At this age in the life of a child appears a lot of new: discoveries, hobbies. All this should be reflected in the interior of his room. For example, on one of the walls a beautiful fairy-tale landscape may well appear with the help of photo wallpapers. And, perhaps, it will be a self-adhesive application with the image of your favorite cartoon characters.

• 5–7 years old. It is during this period can be useful wallpaper for drawing or magnetic wall surfaces. At this age, when the baby is already beginning active preparation for school, the combination of difficult cognitive work with creative outbursts is simply necessary. On the other hand, during this period one can set a more neutral tone for the children's interior, so that the situation can easily adapt to the changing tastes and needs of the growing child.

• 8–12 years old and older. By the process of transforming the room, you can safely connect the child. The child is quite ready to choose the color and pattern of the wallpaper for his bedroom himself.This will help parents better understand the tastes and interests of their baby. However, the final decision is still taken by adults. On how to choose the right color and print, you will learn further.

There are not so many bans on the use of certain colors in the nursery. It is only necessary to avoid poisonous shades; dark colors (black, brown) and flashy colors that are capable of disturbing and disturbing the baby (colors, in particular, red) are also unacceptable.

In most design ideas, there is a clear color division of the wallpaper into boyish and girlish. So, in the interiors of bedrooms for small princesses, pink, lilac, soft green, yellow, orange wallpapers are more common. Whereas in the rooms for boys dominated by blue, blue, gray tones.

True, recently there has been a tendency to organize the interior in a unisex style - colors that are suitable for both boys and girls - green, gray, yellow - are more often used to create wallpaper for children.

Like colors, wallpaper prints are created today by designers increasingly universal. They can be suitable for any gender, and for each age.

This decorative technique can rightly be called a classic. Patterns in stripes, in a cage, as well as in other geometric shapes can be found in the interiors of different styles. This wall covering may be suitable for decoration of both children's and adult rooms.

More children's topics. On the walls in the bedrooms for young dreamers, you can find the most original and cute scenes on the theme of flora and fauna: flowers and trees, owls, as well as wallpaper with little birds - the most popular prints.

Returning to a more highly specialized interior, in the theme of the situation for the girl I want to add wallpaper options with balloons, butterflies and cute cats. Not a single young lady will refuse to contemplate romantic floral patterns on the walls of her room. And, of course, at a younger age, every girl dreams of wallpaper with fairy-tale princesses or favorite Disney cartoon characters.

As for the boys, then at a younger age, any of them will be delighted with the wallpaper with dinosaurs. They reflect his passion for the ancient mysterious animals, and create a fantastic background for exciting games. Older guys will find something more neutral, for example, brick wall mural.

To decorate a room in which a boy and a girl live, it is necessary to find a compromise. Perhaps an excellent solution would be plain wallpaper or variants with classical patterns (check, stripe). Children under 12 years old will appreciate the floral motifs in interior design, and for older boys and girls, minimalism or one of the styles described below is suitable.

With the help of wallpaper you can express the theme of the interior. Sometimes it is the wall decoration that dictates the direction of the furniture, and the furniture and furnishings can be completely neutral. Consider the most popular styles in the design of children's rooms.

The opinion that such a design of a child’s room would be boring is wrong. This style gives a lot of opportunities for a bright, invigorating interior.

To create a classic in the children's bedroom, you need to use wallpaper with distinctive patterns: vertical stripes, a cell (Vichy or tartan), a floral print (both small and large patterns), even a Chinese motif is possible.

The main difference from the adult classic interior is the colors, restrained, but saturated, juicy. Variations of the palette, characteristic of the classic interior in the nursery, are beige, ocher, salmon, lavender gray, blue or rose quartz.

This style, referred to in translation as “shabby chic” in Russian, is nothing more than a variety of vintage styles. Its characteristic features can be called elements with aged effect - with scuffs. Wallpapers in this design should serve as a neutral background, and therefore it is necessary to give preference to a coating of a color that either repeats or unobtrusively complements the basic tone of the interior.

An important difference between chebbi-chic and other styles is the creation of bright accents with the help of textiles.

If in the nursery (for example, for a girl) it is planned to use such a technique, it can be strengthened like this: the basic pattern of textiles should be repeated on the wallpaper. Only this should not be a continuous colorful and coarse riot of color and print - such methods are good only with moderate blotches in a plain interior.

Children's room in a nautical style will never lose its relevance. The classic color scheme - red, navy, white, blue and dark brown - is suitable for both boys and to girls. Wallpapers in such an interior can have themed prints (sketches with ships, with handwheels or anchors), or they can simply match the marine palette. Vertical stripes, combining the colors of the style - the most common solution in the design of wallpaper for such a room.

In a separate kind of marine style can be distinguished "pirate" interior of children. It is due to the presence in the design of all the attributes that are a reference to sea robbers. Wallpaper with a print in the form of pirates or elements of their equipment (eye patch with a skull and bones, the famous pirate hat) will be an excellent basis for the mischievous design of a young boy's room.

This is a very cozy and natural style, as it has pleasant soft colors and natural materials. Such an interior, of course, a positive effect on the psyche of a child of any age. That is why the country style is so often chosen by parents for the decoration of the room of their offspring.

The colors and prints used in creating country wallpaper are, as a rule, a display of wildlife. Most often used plant motifs, less often - animals. An important feature of country-style wallpaper is the use of two different prints in the design of one room. So, from the floor to the middle of the wall is one pattern, and from the middle of the wall to the ceiling - another. At the junction of these different prints, a special border is glued; it can be monophonic or also have a pattern suitable for the overall composition.

Very similar to the previous style: country - rustic, Provence - provincial. However, if you compare them, it catches the eye that the country is warmer and the Provence is much cooler. Its distinctive features and basic colors are pastel (blue, lilac, pink), as well as basic colors (white, beige, gray), olive and ocher.

The business card of this style is the famous images of cockerels, which are relevant both on wallpaper and in textiles, or even on furniture. Images of bird cages, the Eiffel Tower, are inherent in Provence as well. Here, splashes from the marine theme (stars, shells, etc.) are permissible. Popular checkered motifs can also be found. Most often this is a Vichy pattern.

A Provence-style room can be more versatile if you choose plain wall-paper in a given color scheme or with thin vertical stripes for wall decoration.

It is hardly necessary to explain that to such an interior and wallpaper in particular, teenagers. This is a very "adult" decoration of the dwelling, so it is important to exclude from it any "childish" accents.And, of course, most of the work of creating the right mood is done by covering the walls.

If the choice fell on plain wallpaper, you will need a combination of two (less often - three) colors. For example, light gray and cadmium yellow. You can also use white wallpaper "for painting" to create a two-color interior in the style of high-tech abstract on the walls with simple geometric shapes.

Since high-tech is characterized by a combination of high-tech materials, another solution for creating a room in this style is wallpaper imitating a metal surface or wood. In combination with elements of furniture from similar materials, you will get an exemplary interior in a given category.

For children of younger and middle adolescents, you can equip a room in high-tech style using cork wallpaper. Extremely innovative ideas are suitable for seniors, such as metal wall coverings.

Another great style for teens. Its characteristic features are spaciousness, abundance of light and raw wall surfaces. However, the last feature is not the most useful thing for a child's room. The best solution would be to imitate it with the help of 3D wallpaper with the texture of a brick or a raw wall.

Textured wallpapers are also good for this purpose. Moreover, the modern market offers a huge selection of different imitations on a given topic. It can be a texture of stone massifs or tile, outdoor tile, slate and other similar materials.

An example of how to use liquid wallpaper in the interior of the nursery for the full program. Here and the variety of colors, although the balance is respected, and there is no motley hodgepodge. Here and a demonstration of the possibilities of this material to create an interesting texture of the walls.

Romantic interior for two girls perfectly combines wallpaper, dazzling with butterflies, eye-catching textiles and neutral furniture. It has an ideal setting for lessons and mischievous games.

The perfect bedroom for the newborn. The area of ​​the wall, located directly above the crib, is original, but not intrusive. The tree from the application gently leans towards the baby, as if sheltering him from all anxieties and worries. The idea can be embodied as with the help of liquid wallpaper, or use the non-woven version for painting and special stickers (or stencils).

An excellent example of a universal interior: such a balance between the colors of wallpaper and furniture makes this room suitable for children of both sexes and of any age, from 12 years old. Being, on the one hand, a very noticeable stroke in the design, this wallpaper, on the other hand, is an absolutely neutral background: you can change furniture and decorative elements, and the balance will still be maintained.

For teenage boy This room is just perfect, although, at first glance, it is gloomy. Wallpapers with such a complex print are fully consistent with the inner world of the rebellious youth, and a few bright pieces of furniture make a positive note to the situation.

Gentle Provence, to which, of course, girls can combine a variety of patterns in one interior. So, this room is a demonstration of how beautifully the wallpaper with bright and self-sufficient ornament coexists alongside.
