Wallpaper is perhaps the most versatile material for wall decoration. It can be quite difficult to choose them in a particular case. It is worth using the ready-made experience of other people, and not trying to solve this problem on your own.

Color palette and pattern

In teenage rooms, graffiti wall decoration is quite common.

Such elements contribute to:

  • self-affirmation of the inhabitants;
  • increasing the dynamism of the image;
  • the formation of a specific youth color.

Whether to use luminous dyes for graffiti is a question that does not have a single answer. Yes, it looks impressive and graceful, but it often makes sleeping difficult. The strip should not be perceived only as a way to decorate the walls. With its help, the perception of the size of the room is corrected. Thanks to the vertical lines, the room becomes higher, and the use of horizontal patterns contributes to the expansion of the territory.

Pictures are selected individually. In this case, temperament is taken into account in the first place, and not subjective desires. The gravitation towards certain cartoons and other plots may disappear, the basic character traits will remain. The common green color scheme is versatile, adapting to a wide variety of environments. Among warm tones, herbal, apple and mint are preferred, and cold tones are completely unacceptable.

Types of materials

Wallpaper is primarily associated with paper wall covering. This material is used most often. There are almost never any chemicals in paper wallpapers. Low durability can be considered a disadvantage only conditionally. The fact is that children of all ages are very active in drawing, sticking photographs and other images, and decorating the surrounding space. Therefore, paper wallpaper fully meets the requirements of children.

Non-woven wallpaper is very good in terms of reliability and resistance to water. In addition, they can cover defective wall parts. Non-woven can be repainted, but it also has a drawback: it will be quite expensive to paste over the walls with non-woven. Therefore, it is useful to consider other options. The so-called liquid wallpaper is characterized by increased environmental friendliness and practical value. If the wall covering is deformed, it is quite easy to restore it - you just need to add an additional layer. The surface is easy to arrange according to the stencil with liquid wallpaper of alternative colors.

Photo wallpapers that show a variety of images are quite popular. Wall murals are a type of paper coverings, they have the same base. With the help of such material, it is not difficult to distribute zones, to set accents. The cost of photographic wallpaper is relatively low, so you can adjust the interiors without unnecessary problems. The plots are very diverse - movie characters, famous athletes, and many other images may also be present.

As for cork and bamboo, the main characteristics will be:

  • an impressive degree of environmental friendliness;
  • containment of extraneous sounds;
  • harmonious texture;
  • a small number of colors.

We take into account the age of the child

Children's tastes and priorities change over time. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the most attractive colors, to master the combination of wallpaper with other decorative materials.At a very early age, when the child has not yet left the crib or is just starting to take the first steps, the variety of tonalities is unlimited. It is best to use the most saturated colors. To whet your interest, you need to use oversized prints.

In the leisure area, wallpaper in emotionally balanced colors should be used. Otherwise, fright and sleep disturbances are almost guaranteed. In order not to remodel the room later, when the child turns 7, 8, 10, 12 - it is advisable to prefer basic pastel colors. Later, it will only be possible to add individual decorative details.

Between 2 and 5 years there is already an understanding of what is right and what is not. There are already preferred colors, cartoons and individual movies. These motifs can be safely used to decorate a room. Often the interior is saturated with natural tones; it is permissible to use photo wallpapers and decorating stickers. The most common colors are yellow, bluish and greenish parts of the gamut. For active children, you should choose calm colors, but yellow and orange colors are recommended for phlegmatic kids.

Since it is from 2 to 5 years that it is difficult to control drawing on the wall, it is necessary to use wallpaper that can be painted. At the level where children will definitely not be able to reach, you can glue the usual "Liquid wallpaper". This approach allows you to make the next renovation cheaper.

Sooner or later, the most difficult age comes - from 5 to 9 years. At this point, it is not recommended to get carried away with aggressive, flashy colors.

The best choice in this case is a washable wallpaper in a monotonous color. Their original form is the easiest to restore. Repainting in a different color will not cause problems. Since schoolchildren will already require a specific study area, it should be visually separated from the play and sleeping segments. Important: you should not try to "change" the opinion of the children themselves, it is much more correct to listen to it, or at least find a compromise.

In the interval from 9 to 12 years, the area of ​​interest grows noticeably, there are already the first hobbies and hobbies. Any children with normal mental development should have friends who come home. So that nothing distracts from learning and other quiet activities, the work area is decorated with rich blue, green and yellow fruit shades. One bright place must be highlighted, but you should not get carried away with organizing such points. Two or more are already redundant.

Time from 12 to 16 years brings new trends. All motives that clearly refer to the previous "childishness" are categorically unacceptable. A restrained and even moderately brutal room for this age would be the perfect solution. Whatever color and shade is preferred, it is worth making it the thickest, sharpening the color characteristic. Pretentious geometry is contraindicated, it is best to use simple and concise lines and shapes.

At preschool age, it is useful to use fabulous motifs, numbers and letters for wall decoration. An original idea will also be marine and automotive styling, but here it is already necessary to take into account the inclinations of both the children themselves and their parents. When decorating a room for schoolchildren, you should already think about options such as old maps, anchors, spacecraft and favorite animals.

When you reach adolescence, you should first classify interests into the following groups:

  • sport;
  • nature as a whole;
  • geography and travel;
  • sea ​​and ocean;
  • air Transport;
  • cars;
  • movies and so on.

It is good for teenagers to decorate the walls with abstract motives and rich ornaments. It is sometimes advisable to use a combination of mutually contrasting tones. It is worth remembering that from 10 to 16 years old, priorities can change suddenly, up to a complete reversal of tastes and preferences.In order to “please” as much as possible, it is useful to give preference to the style of your favorite musical direction (notes, idols, photos from concerts, lyrics, symbols and just the names of groups). It's almost a win-win solution.

Selection Tips

Wallpaper in a nursery for boys should be selected not only with regard to age. It is also required to take into account the specifics of the premises itself. So, in a relatively small space, a sample of bad taste will be oversaturation of walls with bright shades, especially if large-format prints are additionally applied to them. Regardless of age, this will provoke discomfort and create a feeling of tightness.

It is very good, of course, when the space in the room is sufficient, but in this case the design requirements also change. The monotonous light color of the walls, finely detailed drawing can create the impression of an indifferent and lifeless space. In rooms with high ceilings and a large floor space, it makes sense to expand the use of bright colors. It would be nice to provide for expressive attributes that coincide with the general stylistic concept.

Many children, and especially teenagers, are fond of the marine theme. You can delight them with photowall-paper with sailing ships, with views of tropical islands, with ocean sunsets and reproductions of famous marine painters.

For lovers of romance, in general, take off planes, balloons, a view from a height of nature and various exotic cities, ancient monuments. You can choose beautiful wallpaper for the bedroom with any of these preferences, but it is important to remember about peace. It's just that the sailboat looks good, but you should refrain from battle scenes, scorching guns and the like.

Whenever possible, preference should be given to environmentally friendly materials. It is not difficult to find out whether the selected wallpaper meets this requirement - it is enough to require a certificate. In the absence of it or at the slightest delay in the demonstration, you must refuse to purchase. Environmental friendliness is equally important in the room for small children and for "almost adults"! It is worth thinking about the reliability, about the ability of the coating to last for several years without repair.

A room in which two boys live at once should take into account their peculiarities. The furnishings in personal areas should take into account interests and wishes as much as possible. Alternation of colors in the gamut is allowed. If it is difficult to figure out which color to prefer, you need to make a choice in favor of the blue color - it perfectly matches the marine and aviation theme. In other styles, this tone looks neutral.

For a bright highlight, use only one wall. Otherwise, the room will be oversaturated. As the basis for the background, it is worth choosing a pattern of insignificant size. It is better to refuse vinyl wallpaper in the children's room. They are impervious to air currents and are harmful to health. It is undesirable to use velor wallpaper. They collect a lot of dust. Therefore, such a solution is hardly acceptable for children's rooms. When decorating, it is necessary to strictly observe harmony and achieve a holistic appearance. Even a seemingly insignificant part, in the selection of which a mistake was made, destroys the whole concept.

Monochromatic coloring for young children is categorically unacceptable. It looks extremely boring for them. Choosing wallpaper in the spirit of graffiti, one must remember the harmonious combination of color and size of the picture with the decor in the room. The easiest way is to combine wall murals with modern furniture. Along with the classic version (black and white photographs), you can choose pictures in bright colors with original inscriptions.

Therefore, the widespread opinion that graffiti is chosen only by fans of catchy and challenging subjects is wrong. But the age specificity of the drawings should be taken into account carefully. So, strips, various toys, even toy-format cars and planes are suitable only for children under 3 years old.In the older age group, monotonous products are preferred. Large and medium stripes can be used safely, just do not confuse a strip with a small stripe.

Many children gravitate towards the space theme. It would be wise to use such subjects in the design of their rooms. Game tables are usually converted to ship control panels. And the bedroom or the immediate environment of the crib turns into a kind of capsule. A more versatile solution is the starry sky.

The huge popularity of anime has even led to the pushing of classic cartoons aside. If the child likes just such stories, it is necessary to focus on the emotional richness of the decoration. It is worth focusing efforts on reflecting exciting adventures and dynamic changes in events. For your information: since anime is a whole concept, it is advisable to select in accordance with the spirit of its not only wallpaper, but also other elements of the room. As for the automotive theme, 3D wallpapers are recommended at an early age.

The choice of wallpaper for primary school children is already best done with them. A joint visit to the store will allow not only to satisfy the personal request of the boys. This will help build self-esteem. In addition, responsibility increases and an aesthetic taste is developed. In case of a discrepancy in tastes with adults, you should try to politely and calmly explain why this or that version of the wallpaper is not suitable for purchase.

At the age of 11 and older, it is no longer possible to ignore not only general "like / dislike" ratings, but also statements about the color, about the items shown. So you need to find time for a joint trip to the store. At a later age (14 years and older), the participation of adults in choice gradually decreases. At a certain moment, it is better to limit it only by setting a price level and cutting off clearly awkward, extravagant options. So that there are no disputes already during the purchase itself, everything must be carefully coordinated and discussed in advance, even at home.

When choosing stories according to your hobbies, you need to avoid common mistakes. So, if children are inspired by sports, a win-win option is balls and other equipment, types of stadiums and treadmills. Rooms for nature lovers are mostly decorated in neutral colors. Compositions containing mermaids and dolphins are unacceptable among marine subjects. And one more, the most important recommendation - sometimes it makes sense to deviate from all possible patterns and rules in order to get the best result.

Successful options in the interior

This photo shows a view of a room for younger students and preschoolers. The main wall is decorated with numbers on a white background. The wall by the window is covered with a blue checkered material, which further enhances the romance of the interior. Here's a different approach to balancing blue and white. The monolithic dark blue wall by the window is bizarrely combined with a white surface dotted with stars.

The creators of this room clearly wanted to embody the spirit of the popular movie Cars. The most different moments and plots of the picture are reflected. Cars driving towards each other are shown, a light range of approximately the same color is used. The only difference is in texture. Children like these wallpapers.
