Furniture is responsible for the convenience and comfort in the nursery, and wallpaper is responsible for its emotional content. They create a mood that is in tune with the child’s hobbies, interests and dreams. Wallpaper for a teenage girl's room doesn't have to be pink. It is quite possible that there will be landscapes, cities, or simply geometric patterns. The boy will like graffiti, cars, geographical maps, characters from cult games or films. It is better to entrust the choice of wall coverings to the child himself, because he will live in this room. However, covering the entire room with superheroes or graffiti is not the best solution. We will look for a balance between beauty and practicality.

Types of wallpaper for a room
Pastel colors are the ideal solution.
Wallpaper for a teenager's room should make a pleasant impression, be beautiful and practical. It is important to pay attention to their texture, design and material. Based on these characteristics, several types of wallpaper are distinguished.
They can be moisture resistant or non-moisture resistant. The second category includes paper and textile wallpaper: they will have to be changed quite often. Moisture-resistant wallpapers are made of synthetic materials, so they can even be washed.

Varieties by material:
- Paper - made of thick paper and can be decorated with relief embossing. They do not contain chemicals and are therefore absolutely safe for health. Their main drawback is their fragility. If a child accidentally stains or tears them, they will have to be re-glued. In stores you can find a variety of colors at low prices.
- Textile (fabric, damask) - consist of several layers, the topmost of which is woven. The bottom layer, which is glued to the wall, is made of paper, non-woven fabric or coarse non-woven fabric. The top layer can be made of jute, linen, rayon, viscose, felt, velor, synthetics. They do not always use whole fabric for it; they are often limited to threads. They have noise-insulating properties. Their disadvantages are manifested in fragility and high cost. Linen wallpaper also has antiseptic properties.
- Non-woven fabrics are a thin non-woven fabric. They are made of compressed non-woven fabric, which consists of 70% cellulose and 30% impregnation. Unlike paper, it is strong, durable, waterproof, harmless material. It will retain its color and pattern for a long time. There are two types: some are made on a non-woven base, and others are made from solid material. The top layer is usually embossed. You can even paint it.
Non-woven wallpaper is the most common type of wallpaper
- Velor is a type of textile. They imitate velvet. The fleecy fabric is attached to a paper or non-woven base. This durable material is capable of dissipating and absorbing noise. Its disadvantage is not only its high cost, but also the difficulty of gluing. Velor wallpaper must be glued with a special glue, which is also not cheap. In addition, they absorb odors and get dirty easily, and cannot be cleaned. In stores you can find a variety of colors, patterns, and design styles.
- Glass wallpaper - made of fiberglass, does not collect dust, does not burn and does not emit toxic substances. Fiberglass canvas is durable, dense, strong, reliable, moisture- and fire-resistant. Fiberglass wallpaper comes in two types: smooth (“gossamer”) and embossed. Both varieties can be painted. They will help hide flaws on the wall. They retain their original appearance for 25–30 years.
- Vinyl is durable, waterproof, and lasts a long time. They are easy to wash and clean. They can imitate any surface. They consist of two layers: bottom (made of paper or non-woven fabric) and top (made of PVC). The top layer can be smooth or embossed. Vinyl wallpaper does not allow air to pass through well and can release toxic substances when heated. You cannot glue them to a sunny wall.
- Photo wallpaper is fabric or paper wallpaper with a pattern. They can be background (with a small or abstract image) and panoramic (with a large colorful picture). They will perfectly decorate a room if you choose them correctly.
- Cork - made from oak bark and paper base. This is an eco-friendly material that creates comfort. It maintains normal room temperature and protects from noise. If cork wallpaper is coated with wax, it will not absorb odors. There are self-adhesive and liquid wallpaper made from oak cork. All of them are quite expensive and require preparation of the wall before gluing.
- Liquid - wall covering made from cellulose and combining the functions of plaster, wallpaper and paint. The composition may include silk threads, oak bark and dyes. Glitter, mica or mother-of-pearl are often added to liquid wallpaper. They are pleasant to touch and easy to clean, so children can draw on them. They are environmentally friendly and protect metal from rust.
- Metallized - consist of a base (paper or non-woven fabric) and a top layer of aluminum foil. They imitate silver or steel, often decorated with embossing, monograms, and patterns. They can be coated with gloss dust or painted. Metallic wallpaper not only looks stylish, visually expands the space, but also absorbs electromagnetic radiation from phones. They are very strong and can last at least 10–15 years. They can be washed and cleaned, but they are not able to hide wall defects and do not allow air to pass through. In addition, the foil is very fragile and breaks easily.
- Quartz - consist only of environmentally friendly natural materials: non-woven fabric (base) and quartz sand (top layer). This is a strong, fire-resistant wallpaper that is easy to care for. Thanks to the unique texture of each canvas, a unique design is created. Quartz wallpaper is easy to glue and convenient to paint. They are expensive and many people find them unpleasant to touch. They cannot be washed: moisture will destroy the structure of the coating.

The last three types are used extremely rarely. Few people prefer such exoticism: it is suitable only for very extravagant interior design. There are other exotic wallpapers - stone or carpet.

Combining wallpapers
By combining canvases and other finishing materials, it is possible to create a practical, original design for a teenage room. There are several suitable options worth considering.
- In addition to wallpaper, you can use wall panels as cladding for individual areas. Using this material, an “apron” is made locally or around the entire perimeter of the room. In particular, attention is paid to places where there is a risk of wall contamination.
- Hero stickers are used to decorate surfaces. This is perhaps the simplest and most inexpensive finishing method. They can be applied to surfaces with different textures. Such products are resistant to moisture and do not deteriorate for several years.
- When decorating a teenage room, it is recommended to pay attention to the neo-classical style. It would be appropriate to install cornices, moldings and baseboards combined with wallpaper. It is desirable that the moldings blend in color with the surface of the walls. A color difference of a couple of tones is allowed.
- Finishing canvases for painting are also popular. These materials come in different variations. Essentially, these are wallpaper coloring books on which you can draw with special pencils, markers, and felt-tip pens. As a rule, such panels are used to decorate one wall, which is the accent in the room.
- Depending on the age and preferences of the child, you can stick a black magnetic board. They draw on it with chalk, after which they erase the art with a damp sponge. Such material will not only interest the owner, but will also hide some of the wall’s imperfections.
Basic criteria for choosing materials
The material from which the wallpaper is made plays a very important role. First of all, it must be non-toxic. It is necessary to take a responsible approach to the choice of wallpaper, paying attention not only to its design, but also to the material.
What should the material be:
- Eco-friendly - neither the base nor the paint should contain toxic substances. For a child with poor health, it is better to buy hypoallergenic wallpaper.
- Hygienic - the surface should not promote the growth of bacteria, mold and dust. It is advisable to choose a material that can withstand not only dry cleaning, but also wet cleaning. Embossed wallpaper is more difficult to clean than smooth wallpaper.
- Durable - the material must withstand damage. A child may accidentally scratch them or pour water on them.
To choose wallpaper for a teenager’s bedroom, you need to take into account his tastes and hobbies. Particular attention should be paid to the quality of the material.
When gluing walls, you need to choose environmentally friendly and durable materials
Features of choosing finishes for a teenage room
Knowing the properties of materials and their cost, it is much easier to make the right choice. Wallpaper in a teenager's room should be environmentally friendly, made from natural materials. It is important that they can be washed with water, and not just wiped with a dry cloth or vacuumed. White wallpaper is not suitable - it is too easily soiled.
Teenagers are great dreamers; childhood dreams mean a lot to them. At the same time, it is important for them to appear mature. Therefore, it is worth choosing an interior that harmoniously combines “children’s” and “adult” motifs.
The cost of the finishing material plays a serious role: it should not be too expensive. The tastes of teenagers are changing quickly, and interior design must match them. Annual repairs cannot be done: it is expensive and pointless. Therefore, you should give preference to inexpensive but high-quality wallpaper that can be quickly changed.

The choice of design and decor depends not only on the age, but also on the gender of the child. Girls and boys may have different interests, so the interior is also decorated in different colors and styles.
Color solutions for a guy
Soft and light shades are suitable for little boys. The older the child gets, the more bright details may appear in his room. But wallpaper that is too dark has a bad effect on the psyche, so you should give preference to light colors. You can add a few small black details to the room, such as a computer and other equipment.
Wallpaper for a teenage boy can be decorated with interesting designs. Original ideas:
- starry sky;
- images of space and planets;
- geographic map;
- marine motifs;

Adolescence is a difficult time in the life of every person: raging hormones, mood swings, the need to show individuality by any means.

Another popular trend in recent years is wall-sized geographical maps. In addition to the aesthetic function, they also perform a general educational role. The natural curiosity of 12-year-old boys will find an outlet in studying geography. Rest assured, your child will not get tired of looking at the outlines of ordinary physical maps or animals living on each continent for a long time.

Despite the difficulties in the gluing process, 3D wallpaper is gaining popularity. Three-dimensional images amaze with realism. The gluing options are different: from small framed panels to full-scale floor-to-ceiling panoramas. The walls glow in the dark look unusual. The phosphorus contained in the coating accumulates light during the day and releases it at night, replacing a night light.

Photo wallpaper in the interior of a nursery for a teenager
An excellent design solution - a children's room with photo wallpaper. On one of the walls (preferably above the head of the bed or in the work area) you need to glue photo wallpaper with a beautiful pattern. Correctly chosen photo wallpaper can visually expand the space of a room, properly zone it and hide imperfections.
Photo wallpaper should be harmoniously combined with wallpaper pasted on other walls and not create a sharp contrast. It is advisable to choose laminated photo wallpaper made of non-woven fabric, canvas or paper on which the image is printed with latex ink.
A children's room with photo wallpaper looks stylish and modern. You can order custom wallpaper by providing the artists with the photos you like.

How to transform your interior with night city photo wallpaper?
When you want peace after a hard day at work, little in the interior can really please you, especially if during the decorating process you used bright colors that put pressure on your eyesight.
In such cases, the ideal solution for any room would be a night city photo wallpaper.
Such images will not only emphasize the sophistication of the chosen style, but will also promote rest and relaxation. And due to the amazingly beautiful drawings, you will provide an indescribable atmosphere, so your room will not be compared with any other.
Photo wallpapers depicting beautifully lit buildings in megacities are an original way of using high-resolution thematic photographs to transform and zoning living space.
The popularity of using photo wallpapers of the night city in the interior is due to another important fact: such photo wallpapers are able to convey the beauty of night life, and therefore are very often used in luxury apartments.
If you want the design of your room to match such interiors, the image of a night city will be the best solution for you and your family.
The most popular techniques for combining wallpaper
In one room you can combine different types of wallpaper with each other. If you need to visually highlight one wall, you can decorate it with wallpaper made of a different material or a different color. A combination of different styles is also appropriate on all walls.
Combination ideas:
- Alternate vertical stripes of different colors.
- Decorate the lower and upper parts of the wall differently.
- Decorate the wall with different wallpaper scraps.
- If you place moldings on the wall, you can make a wallpaper insert on one wall.
Wallpaper should be the same thickness and harmoniously combine with each other. Do not combine contrasting colors.
A universal solution for children of different sexes
You need to choose wallpaper especially carefully for teenagers of different genders. If a brother and sister live in the same room, then both of them should like its design.
Idea for decorating a room for mixed-sex children
It is better to paste a room for children of different sexes with light, plain wallpaper. Wallpaper with stripes, as well as with floral or geometric patterns, looks good.
The background of the room must be light.
