What wallpaper to choose in the nursery

A feature of the color design of the children’s room is taking into account the age and gender of children. Children’s rooms simultaneously perform several functional loads – this is a bedroom, a playroom and a place for study. Well zoning of the nursery can help in delimiting the space.

For each child’s age, different types (both in color and texture) of children’s wallpapers are best suited.

Newborns (0-2 years old). The main pastime of babies at this age is sleep. This means that the baby is favorably influenced by gentle and soothing tones that promote relaxation and sleep. Pastel shades, pale blue, pink are well suited. Bright and colorful wallpapers for this age are not the most ideal choice, because they can irritate the baby.

Second age group (2-5 years old). By the age of two, children already have time to form a character and the range of interests is significantly expanding. If the baby is calm, bright wallpapers or wallpapers with cartoon characters are well suited, and in the case when the child is active, you can choose more calm shades and patterns on the wallpaper.

The third age group (5-8 years old) At this age, the baby may already have his own hobby, for example, if it is drawing, then one of the walls can be painted «marker coating», so a young artist can develop his talent. Very popular «teaching» wallpapers for a children’s room, for example, those that depict various animals and plants. Also, a popular option for educational decor is the alphabet in the child’s room..

After eight years, you can safely take the baby by the hand and go and choose wallpaper together. After all, this is his corner and it is very important for the child to feel comfort, coziness and security on «their territory».

Matching the wallpaper with the interests of the child

When choosing wallpaper for a nursery, it is necessary to consider who exactly they are intended for:

For girls. Parents can choose both «girly» wallpapers with magic castles or good fairies, as well as completely neutral drawings with butterflies or various floral patterns.
