Paper Wallpapers: Safety Above All

They do not contain synthetic additives, chemistry, and are breathable. Their quality is confirmed by certificates that are attached to each variety and to each batch. The seller must submit this document for review at the first request of the buyer.

Another undoubted advantage of paper wallpaper is their low cost compared to other types. Little girls and boys are quite restless and strive to leave their mark literally everywhere. Draw there, scratch here, stick here. Save one wallpaper throughout the growing up of little prankster does not work, they still have to be changed. And paper wallpaper is an economical and affordable option. They can be updated every 2-3 years.

You can turn to the compromise option: to paste over the lower part of the wall with simple paper wallpaper, which is not a pity to put into consumption, at about a meter, and above - more interesting basic ones. To avoid unpleasant misunderstandings, you can turn to washable wallpapers and decorate the upper part of the walls with them. And the transition between the wallpaper can be decorated with the usual decorative border.

Liquid wallpaper in the nursery

The next admissions for a nursery are liquid wallpaper. It is a space for creativity and imagination. Boys and girls can imagine themselves as masters of painting and contribute to the design of their territory. The young talent will be very happy about the freedom of drawing, because no one will stop him from working with a brush and paints. Such wallpapers can be repainted many times.

The special microporous structure of liquid wallpaper has excellent heat and sound insulation, but the walls breathe. In addition, such wallpapers are non-toxic and fireproof, which is also important. Such a surface does not absorb odor and does not accumulate dust, because it is not static. If the child is allergic, then such a moment is very important when designing a room, and you can not find the best option for the interior!

Another undoubted plus: they do not fade in the sun, retain their bright saturated colors for a long time. In addition, walls so designed are easy to clean and renew.

The only drawback of this material is its high cost, but even it will pay off over time.

How about photo wallpaper?

As an option, for one wall, you can choose a wallpaper that will bring diversity to any nursery. By murals you can revive the room, covered with plain paper wallpaper, or divide the baby’s room into various zones: a playroom, a recreation area, a training area. With the help of murals, you can turn a nursery into a magical world where a little dreamer feels like a prince or a princess, plunges into the world where his beloved cartoon characters live.

Cork and bamboo

The latest innovations are cork and bamboo wallpapers. Expensive, beautiful and original interior design with a set of unique properties. It turns out an environmentally friendly finish in natural and calm shades. Such wallpapers are easy to manufacture in their own way: bamboo, jute, cane and so on are attached to a paper or cellulose base, thanks to such materials the walls breathe and do not accumulate dust. In addition, cork is a very wear-resistant material that can withstand significant mechanical stresses. It is best to choose this option of wall decoration when the child has already grown up and can appreciate all its advantages.

The most undesirable in the nursery are cullets. Foam vinyl wallpapers are not used in small children's rooms because of their susceptibility to mechanical damage. However, in the teenager’s room they can be easily glued.

What wallpaper to choose for a child by age?

Choosing wallpaper in the nursery, you should also consider the age of the child.

0–2 years

At this age, the baby is just beginning to get acquainted with the world, with what surrounds it. He still does not have a clear division into “like - don't like”, “love - don't like”. His character is only being formed. Therefore, for the interior of the room, it is better to choose a double design:

• For the sleeping area, soft, soft shades that contribute to relaxation and restful sleep are suitable.
• The rest of the room can be decorated with additions in the form of bright, large drawings saturated with various colors.

2–4 years

The next stage in the development of the child is a period of up to four years. At this time, the baby does not yet have a clear division of colors and accessories into those characteristic of boys and girls, therefore, parents should not particularly focus on this issue. Wall decoration can be impersonal. Here natural colors will come to the rescue: yellow, green, blue. They will fill the room with special comfort and warmth. If something is not enough, the baby himself will successfully finish this. It is worth remembering that if you decide to choose a wallpaper with animals, then they should be small - the application, drawing, sticker in the height of the child can scare the baby.

4-6 years old

This is a period for creativity and active games. A child at this age is too active, somewhere even uncontrollable, he seems to have a battery that can not sit down until late at night. Therefore, red, orange and all their shades in the interior during this period are prohibited: you should not excite the child even more. Serious, “adult” colors will not work either: they will overwhelmingly affect the child and ruin all his joy and fun. The psyche of the child will suffer from this. The best solution would be the design of the walls in pale yellow, pale lime, peach shades. Separation of walls is allowed: the bottom is white, and the top is colored.

Undesirable abundance of drawings on the wallpaper. Let the little fairy girls and robber boys themselves express their imagination and paint the walls the way they want. For example, they will leave traces of their hands, paste stickers or posters on the walls.

6–9 years old

The child went to school, in first grade, he is full of new emotions, impressions, knowledge. He makes new friends and acquaintances, he spends more time at home, including in his room, begins to invite friends to himself, and in the room there are already not one, but two, three small hurricanes. These points should be taken into account when decorating a children's room for this age period.

Psychologists advise using bright colors in the room at this age, the best option is two-color or three-color vertical stripes. This will help the child focus and organize the information received. It is worth preparing for the fact that at this time the wallpaper will not be able to hold on for long, and they will have to be reanimated periodically. Alternatively, you can spend money once and decorate the room with liquid wallpaper.

9-11 years old

The first stage of growing up, becoming the personality of a new person. The child begins to feel adult, somewhat self-sufficient. Categoricalness appears in some judgments, well-grounded claims, and conservatism. Boys and girls are already aware that this is their territory, and they will not be allowed to change something in the interior without their consent. They begin to bring the room in the form that they like, and in the next few years, adults will not be allowed to make significant changes to the design of the room.

During this period, it is especially important to consult with the child when decorating his room. And sharing a wallpaper is the first step. The main thing is that the child himself likes the wallpaper and matches the parents' ideas about safety and comfort. Then you can choose furniture, curtains, carpet, etc. together.

During this period, there is a clear division of the room into boy and girl, into pink princess girl world and marine subjects of the captain boy.

Parents may face the problem of designing a nursery when a boy and a girl live in the same room (alas, this is not uncommon in existing conditions). In this case, they will have to call for help all their imagination. In one room you will have to make two, or even three different zones, small personal corners and a common area for games and activities.

What is worth knowing and remembering?

1. Material.
2. Color and pattern.
3. The psychological impact on children.
