Choosing wallpaper for a child's room can be a challenging task if you want to choose an option that is stylish, durable and interesting for your child.

It is important to consider not only appearance, but also quality, safety and practicality.

The worst decisions

Interior designers often encounter mistakes made in children's rooms. Below are the worst decisions, according to experts, in terms of choosing wallpaper.

1. Children's pictures.

Manufacturers make a huge number of wallpapers depicting animals, plants, cartoon characters and other motifs that children like. But the child's interests change, colorful plots quickly become boring, and they do not look very stylish. Such wallpapers will have to be changed often.

2. Coloring wallpaper.

This is an interesting option that will keep the child busy. But it is unlikely to add beauty, since children are not artists or painstaking adults to carefully and meticulously paint the wall. Most likely, they will turn it into a motley thing that will have to be replaced.

3. Regular "adult" wallpaper.

Wallpaper with flowers or patterns has not only gone out of fashion long ago, but is also completely unsuitable for a child's room. It does not attract a child in any way, it is too colorful and boring.

How to choose wallpaper

To avoid making mistakes in your choice, you should take several factors into account.

1. Security.

Before choosing wallpaper for a child's room, make sure it is safe. It should be made of environmentally friendly materials that do not contain harmful substances and toxins.

2. Quality and durability.

Wallpaper for a child's room should be high-quality and durable so that it does not fade or discolor over time. It is also important that the material is resistant to mechanical damage, such as scratches and abrasions. This is especially important if your child is prone to various pranks.

3. Practicality and ease of care

Choose wallpaper that is easy to clean and wash. Children can be messy and leave marks on the walls.

But regarding the appearance, everything is much simpler than parents think. There is no need to look for a suitable option among hundreds of drawings and plots. Designers recommend choosing plain wallpaper of a neutral color, for example, beige. They will last for many years. And to make it interesting for the child, you can place stickers, pictures in frames, appliques, development boards on the walls. Accessories can be changed depending on the interests of the child and his age, and the base will remain unchanged for many years.
