Modern wallpaper in a 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 so make a choice and what should be repelled from?
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.
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 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 ;
- 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, monophonic 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 the 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.
But, of course, this color must be used within reasonable limits so that it does not have a depressing and suppressing effect.
