Wallpaper in a children's room is not only an important component of design, but also a factor influencing the child's mood and well-being. Modern manufacturers offer wallpaper with a wide variety of designs and patterns for children's rooms. They should be chosen based on the age and preferences of the child.

Criteria for choosing wallpaper for a children's room
Age of the child (for infants - white or cream, for teenagers - colored),
- Gender of the child (sea and mountains, ships and weapons are suitable for boys, princesses or flowers are suitable for girls),
- Freedom of creativity (will it be possible to draw on wallpaper - to train the sense of touch, fine motor skills and preserve “masterpieces” as a memory),
- Furnishings (taking into account the color and functionality of the furniture),
- Number of children (thanks to the wallpaper, you can really delimit the space by “dividing” the walls),
- Material (paper, vinyl, non-woven fabric, bamboo, cork, liquid wallpaper - made from stone chips and natural fibers, etc.),
- Price.
Psychological aspect
You can trust the child himself to choose wallpaper for the nursery. Just don’t trust a momentary impulse - you need to talk and make it clear that his room is a personal space where he will have to live, so it’s better to make it cozy.
Also, don’t get discouraged or depressed if the room is covered in turtles or resembles a supermarket - its walls will be so brightly spotted.
Trust in a child is part of parental love. Embodied desires are an element of happiness. If he liked some specific wallpaper, and not a certain color/subject, this means a certain degree of comfort.
The psychological state of comfort after a nervous, stressful day is an important component of normal development. The child will not only enjoy being in his nursery, but also clean it and repair it.
Boy - teenager
Wallpaper sellers have noticed that in adolescence, boys decorate their rooms in a minimalist style, with a minimum of decor and details. Give your child the opportunity to express himself. He can cover the walls with posters of his favorite actors, musicians and change them every day, or at one point take pictures altogether.

Try to decorate the room together, make it not only beautiful, but also convenient, comfortable; your mood and relaxation depend on the atmosphere.
Remember that the room is not the parents', but the child's. First of all, this is the space of a peasant, to whom guests and not only boys come. Wallpaper for a teenage boy is a characteristic of his inner world.
At any age, a child should feel like a master in a room where only his things are located, which he himself arranges in a way that is convenient and is always at hand. And even if you manage to make the perfect room and the baby remains happy, do not forget that the child grows, and his hobbies change with him.
The design of the space should change appearance along with the age of the boy. Agree that the repairs made for a 7-year-old son are not suitable for a 16-year-old teenager. Also, do not buy wallpaper to grow. Don't break the little man's personality. Children's wallpapers for kids, and for teenagers globes and posters.
When starting renovations, you can consult with psychologists on how to do better so that the child is satisfied and thanks you. Love children, they are vulnerable and defenseless. Make repairs with pleasure and listen to their opinion.

Inappropriate options and details
A children's room is not so much a place for experiments as a reflection of the child's soul. You shouldn't make it purely white or completely black. There is no need for sharp contrasts - blue with red, yellow with purple, etc.
Dark tones are too serious and gloomy - brown, dark green. It is better to choose cheerful colors and patterns to improve your mood and foster a sense of enjoyment of today.
Room size, zoning, wallpaper design
For the most part, the size of children's rooms is very small, not exceeding 10 m2. But even a very spacious room can be easily destroyed by ineptly using:
- Background colors are too dark;
- Wallpaper with a bright print and a variety of large details.
Whatever the size of the children's room, neutral and calm light shades will look much more appropriate.
If you want to make an accent wall, then it would be quite appropriate in the sitting area or above the bed. For example, a panorama of the starry sky in the sleeping area or, conversely, a looped three-dimensional drawing where the child is playing.
Bright details should definitely be avoided in a student’s room, because they will interfere with concentration on lessons.
