Photo wallpaper for a teenager’s room – how to negotiate?
In his mind, your child is no longer small, so he may take the announcement that you are going to put photo wallpaper in his room quite negatively, if only because it is your idea, not his. Therefore, you shouldn’t express such a proposal head-on - take a roundabout route: buy several thematic magazines, each of which contains at least one design of a room with photo wallpaper, leave it open on the right page in a visible place, casually mention the idea of making a renovation... And in At the right moment, invite him to discuss several design solutions, in each of which the dominant theme will be photo wallpaper.
Of course, your child is unlikely to be able to stop at just one thing, offering more and more options every day. Treat this with understanding and explain to your child that photo wallpaper is “not forever,” but until it’s time to do the repairs again. In the end, in a few years, if not earlier, he himself will be surprised at what used to make him so happy! Fortunately, photo wallpaper for a teenager’s room is quite affordable - depending on the quality of printing and size, their cost can range from 500 to 1000 rubles. Therefore, nothing prevents you from gluing new photo wallpapers at least every six months - teenagers are smart and strong enough to do this on their own. However, working together, as we know, helps to unite the family, which is especially important for young rebels who feel that the whole world is against them.
Six reasons to choose
During adolescence, children's tastes and preferences often change. Photo wallpaper will allow you to change the design of the room according to the interests of the child, whenever he wants. After all, it’s very easy to remove and then stick them on the wall.
- Versatility. Photo wallpaper will look harmonious and stylish in any interior. Interesting drawings will help you create a unique style. This is important for children in adolescence, because right now they really want to be different from their peers, to gain authority among friends and classmates.
- Environmental friendliness. The fabrics are made from hypoallergenic, health-safe materials. Their presence in the design of a nursery will not in any way affect the child’s well-being.

Thanks to the film, the canvas is resistant to mechanical damage and retains its original appearance for a long time.
- Large assortment of images. The client can order a canvas with any design that reflects tastes, interests, hobbies, or simply calms and relieves stress.
- Neat appearance of the room. Photo wallpapers, in comparison with different-sized posters and stickers, look very stylish and, most importantly, neat. Such a design, even if bright colors are used, will not seem messy and tasteless.
- Price. Many parents prefer this option precisely because of its availability and wide range.
Advice from an expert: invite your teenager to make custom photo wallpaper, give him the opportunity to choose an image, canvas size, and place for it. In this case, a completely exclusive drawing will appear on the wall.
Photo wallpaper in the interior of a room for a teenager - mobility and style
Taking into account the very frequent change of hobbies, idols and other preferences, photo wallpaper is an excellent way to quickly change the interior of a teenager’s room. True, a significant drawback of such mobility will be the obvious discrepancy between many photo wallpapers and the color scheme of the room’s interior and the idea that you yourself initially tried to implement. Well, something has to be sacrificed. However, when decorating a room, remember that for a teenager, his corner is a place where he not only sleeps, but also studies, hangs out with friends, which means that the subjects for photo wallpapers should not interfere with any of the above.
If the size of the room allows, you can use photo wallpaper to create zones in the space, each of which will correspond to a specific purpose.
When decorating the interior, remember that photo wallpapers strongly dominate the decor, so in order for the space to look harmonious, there should be no small accessories or household items near the wall with wallpaper. To use the room practically, lay down a soft carpet - teenagers like to do a lot of things right on the floor: draw, study homework, read books or correspond with friends.
Color solution
It is traditionally believed that for a girl’s room you should choose wallpaper in delicate pink and lilac tones. In fact, not everyone is close in spirit to this color scheme. And this color gets boring very quickly.
Choosing the right wallpaper shade is not as simple as it seems at first glance. You need to take into account both the character of your child and the overall interior design.
If the girl is calm and a homebody, then neutral, muted shades are suitable. It can be any paint. The main thing is that they are unobtrusive and dim.
Bright, catchy wallpapers are suitable for energetic, restless teenagers. The choice of contrasting materials may also be determined by the desire of parents to stimulate children who are not too active. Cheerful shades are suitable for this: orange, yellow, red, green, etc. Knowledge of the psychology of colors in the interior can help you make a choice:
- orange stimulates activity, energy, playfulness;
- yellow has a positive effect on creativity.
- green helps you concentrate and calms you down;
- blue suppresses aggression and helps to concentrate attention - an ideal color for the room of a hyperactive child.
When choosing colors, it is important to take into account the overall design of the interior.
If there are a large number of accessories on the wall (posters, mirror, clocks, paintings, drawings, etc.), then the wallpaper should be plain and dim.
An excellent solution would be to use photo wallpaper for one wall against the background of neutral shades of the rest. Curtains will help place accents in the interior.
If you choose wallpaper with images of your favorite cartoon characters, then it is worth considering that a child’s tastes change quickly, and a teenage girl will soon develop more serious hobbies.
First you need to determine the general style of the interior and select the color and texture of a certain direction.
Suitable styles for girls:
- NY.
- Paris.
- Modern.
- Classical.
- High tech.
- Minimalism.
- Rock.
Let's briefly consider their features and determine what design can be used within its framework with examples in the photo.
The New York style is characterized by simple, discreet decoration (wooden floors, bleached or painted walls), antique or imitation antique furniture, original accessories and a large number of them, and unusual carpets. Horizontal blinds would be appropriate on the windows.
The walls can be whitewashed, painted, covered with white or milky plain wallpaper. One wall can be decorated with brickwork or its imitation.
In the Paris style, white or beige paint is also used. Posters and photo wallpapers depicting city attractions are acceptable. Furniture – forged or carved. Curtains are light and airy.
Modern is a combination of simplicity and clarity of lines. The furniture is compact, comfortable and functional. The walls are neutral light shades. In the modern version, it is permissible to dilute the interior with bright colors, but this should be done in moderation. For calm teenagers who are not too biased about the design of the room, this design is quite suitable.
If a girl does not express any special preferences and is conservative in character, and parents do not have the opportunity or do not want to bother themselves with a careful selection and search for details for a specific, unusual style, then a classic design will be the best way out of the situation.
The hallmark of a classic interior will be wooden furniture in traditional shades of brown, walnut or cherry. On the walls there is light, discreet wallpaper with an unobtrusive pattern. The floor is linoleum or laminate. There are curtains and tulle on the windows (usually matching the walls or neutral shades).
High-tech is suitable for those who are more focused on convenience and functionality rather than beauty. Characteristic features: glass, metal furniture, white walls (permissible without wallpaper), lack of textile curtains, plain, smooth floor. The walls can be decorated with black and white paintings and photographs. This style looks mature and can be appreciated by a teenage girl who wants to become mature and independent.
Minimalism is reminiscent of the previous version, but it contains softer elements. A combination of bright walls or functional furniture is allowed, but curtains and other accessories are restrained. The main advantage is the ability to quickly transform a given style into another.
The design of a room in rock style is the ideal solution for a girl who is passionate about this type of music. Gray or beige walls, posters with idols, paintings with a guitar, and graffiti will help create the right atmosphere. Roller or Roman shades and blinds are suitable for windows. The furniture is simple, without complex details.
