Choosing wallpaper for a child's room: how to make the right choice
The child spends most of his time in the nursery. Here he will play, draw and relax.
Therefore, it is best to buy wallpaper that can withstand maximum exposure to external factors.
There are several types of wallpaper that are suitable for children's rooms.
Paper wallpaper
Their main advantage is that they are environmentally friendly and safe for health, allow the walls to breathe and are inexpensive. But they also have disadvantages.
And the main one is short-lived. Therefore, such wallpapers are suitable for those who plan to update the nursery as the child grows up. But there are also more durable paper two-layer duplex wallpapers with the ability to clean.
Non-woven wallpaper
Compared to paper wallpaper, they are more durable and have good elasticity, due to which they will not lose their original appearance for a long time.
Vinyl wallpaper
They can be made on a non-woven or paper base. They have a more saturated color and an interesting pattern. But they also have disadvantages - they are easy to damage with a sharp object, such as scissors, and they also prevent air exchange in the room.
But the last problem can be solved by choosing vinyl wallpaper with a perforated top layer.
Fabric wallpaper
They are pleasant to the touch, stylish and elegant. And most importantly - environmentally friendly. But they also have disadvantages. This is the high cost and difficulty in pasting. And if your child likes to draw on the walls, then it will be almost impossible to restore the dirty wallpaper to its original appearance.
As for liquid wallpaper, it is not the most suitable option for decorating children's rooms, despite the fact that it is durable and practical. The whole point is that the components included in its composition can cause allergic reactions.
Wallpaper, what color to choose for a child's room
For small children, it is recommended to choose light, delicate shades, including pastel colors.
For preschool and school-age children, you can choose a brighter color scheme. But there should not be a lot of them. Also, you should not decorate the interior of the nursery in bright acidic colors.
When decorating a children's room for a teenager, you can choose both light and dark tones. In this case, everything depends on the child's gender and preferences.
But in addition to personal preferences, when choosing a color scheme, it is also necessary to take into account the characteristics of the room.
It is recommended to wallpaper poorly lit and small children's rooms with light-colored wallpaper. Don't be afraid if the interior seems too boring. After all, it can always be enlivened with bright toys and decorative pillows.
You can also buy wallpaper for the nursery with your child's favorite characters. For girls, these are wallpapers with princesses, bears, hearts, and ballerinas. And for boys, these are wallpapers with dinosaurs, cars, robots, space, and marine themes.
