When it's time for renovation, parents pay special attention to the children's room, because this is where the child spends a huge part of his leisure time.
The character and behavior of a child, as psychologists say, directly depends on the environment in the room where he plays and rests.
This article describes the main criteria for choosing wallpaper for a child's room, said Yulia Tychino .
Types of wallpaper
Paper type of wallpaper is a very common and popular option, these wallpapers are considered environmentally friendly, as only natural materials that do not emit harmful substances are used in production.
Wallpapers are able to pass circulating air through the canvas, that is, "breathe". Wallpapers have a wide range, while they are considered the most budgetary, such wallpapers can be changed every year.
Liquid wallpaper is a modern type of wallpaper, a suitable option for a child's room. The wallpaper is presented in the form of a putty paste, which includes natural components.
The wallpaper has excellent sound and heat insulation, and is not subject to combustion and does not lose its appearance from sunlight. Damaged areas can be easily masked with the same paste solution.
Glass wallpaper is wallpaper made from glass fabric. This option is the most suitable for a child's room, the wallpaper is quite durable and difficult to scratch or cut.
The wallpaper retains its original appearance for a long time, it is also fire-resistant and moisture-resistant, and can be washed as it gets dirty without any special means.
Glass fiber wallpaper is durable and can last for more than 10 years.
Color palette and choice of design
Having decided on the type of wallpaper, all that remains is to choose the color scheme and pattern.
These criteria must correspond to the child's age:
• Wallpaper in a child’s room should be light in color; it creates a calm and cozy atmosphere.
Shades such as beige, peach or mint, that is, soft tones, are suitable.
The design should not be flashy, with small flowers or figures, or you can choose a single-color option.
• Wallpaper in bright colors is suitable for a preschooler’s room; at this age, children are energetic, so the color of the wallpaper should be saturated, which affects the child’s activity.
The drawing should be interesting and unusual, but it should not be large in size, the child will quickly get bored with it and will want something new.
• For a child aged 6-10 years, colorful wallpaper with images of cartoon characters, animals or fairy-tale characters is suitable.
At this age, children are already attending school; you can paste wallpaper with a world map on one side of the wall.
• With a child over 10 years old, it is better to choose wallpaper together; at this age, the child chooses what he likes and what he wants to see in his room.
Parents only need to choose a safe and environmentally friendly type of wallpaper.
Choosing the right wallpaper for a child’s room is a complex and exciting process that needs to be approached carefully and seriously.
If all selection criteria are met, the room will please not only the child, but also the parents.
