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 example, for girls, gentle pastel colors such as peach, pale pink, beige and green.

Also appropriate 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, ideally, do this: place an image on one wall, and simply leave the others monophonic.

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 choice of wallpaper 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 (remind decorative plaster with mineral or vegetable fibers);
  • a photo- and cullet (allow you to put on the wall any photo, 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 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 is suitable with a certain texture and color. Let's consider age groups in more detail:

  • newborns - this group includes children from the age of 0 to 2 years, 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 ;

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.
