What wallpaper to choose in a nursery for children of different sexes?

Decorating the walls of a nursery with wallpaper is a unique and creative process. It is from him that sets the mood of the entire room, its atmosphere and comfort. If same-sex children live in the room, there are no problems with the choice of wallpaper. However, when children are of different sexes, the situation is completely different. How to choose the wallpaper in such cases, having designed the nursery as harmoniously as possible, we will consider in detail below.

The first thing to consider when choosing wallpaper is their color: no matter how much you want to decorate a children's room with both pink and blue tones, it rarely looks beautiful. Moreover, more or less it can still be perceived as normal when children are very young. Both pink and blue are diametrically opposed colors. They bring completely different emotional colors to the interior design.

It is impossible not to take into account the fact that not every boy is comfortable in the nursery, decorated in pink colors. Girls, on the other hand, feel great in a room, the main tones of which are shades of blue. However, this does not mean at all that you need to glue the wallpaper on the walls in boyish tones. Not at all: you can find a middle ground if you deliberately approach the choice of colors suitable for children of different sexes.

To decorate the walls of a children's room, you will have to choose one general version of the panels, which can be supplemented with two accents, suitable for both a boy and a girl. That is, you will have to buy three types of wallpaper: some are general, the second is to highlight the girl's area and the third is to accentuate the boy's space. Such a technique will allow you to bring an unobtrusive organization into the room and clearly delineate the area of ​​each child, in addition to the common space.

For the design of the room to be stylish and appropriate, it is important to choose the right wallpaper. You cannot do without plain or monochrome textured wallpapers, since they are a softening link between the accentuation of the zones of different-sex children.

There are several nuances that are important to consider:

• huge drawings are excluded, they spoil the interior of the nursery;
• if there are a lot of small objects in the room, a strip is also undesirable - it will create ripples in the eyes and add a cluttered effect;
• there are enough household items in a room for two children, so an abundance of variegation in the form of a print is undesirable;
• excessively bright colors will compete with each other, such a combination is aggressive and divides the room too sharply;
• you cannot use different styles of interior design in the choice of wallpaper, highlighting the space of each child;
• dark and gloomy tones of the color palette are undesirable - such wallpapers can fill a children's room with an oppressive atmosphere.

There should be no rivalry in design, only general wallpaper can dominate the wall decoration. Otherwise, it will seem that one space is larger than the other. It is important to understand that there should not be many accents, otherwise they can lose their expressiveness. Therefore, to allocate space for each child, it is quite enough to buy one roll of contrasting wallpaper that will be combined with each other. To make them look stylish at the same time, you should pay attention to the texture and theme.

The flower idea is good, but it gravitates more towards the decoration of the walls of the girl's room.If you want to take a plant theme as a basis, you should pay attention to options with a variety of leaves or even branches. They are quite popular today, and they will look better on the walls than flowers.

Considering a topic that is suitable for both children, it is worth identifying several options. In addition to textured monochromatic wallpaper for painting, wallpaper with a geometric print will look beautiful on the walls of children's children of different sexes. The pattern should be selected in such a way that it is neutral.

To make the room look holistic, you can designate separate small areas in the space of each child.

For example, it could be:

• a small picture gallery of cut fragments of the original wallpaper;
• a certain part of the wall, indicated simply by a different solid color and decorated with a molding;
• imitation of a poster on the entire wall or a certain part of it;
• option in the form of a world map, located above the working area;
• several small inserts in the niches of the working rack of each of the children.

To make it easier to calculate the required number of rolls, you should first decide on the places of pasting the canvases, not forgetting about the allocation of space for each of the children of different sexes. An excellent solution that will emphasize the integrity of the room and will not create competing accent areas is the option using two companions. For example, you can take a plain wallpaper with embossed or simple surface relief as a basis. Accent wallpaper can be used to mark the design features of the children's room.

These can be niches or, conversely, ledges, work areas above the desks. A good technique would be to select a play area that unites the room. If the beds are nearby, you can designate them with wallpaper with a print. You can decorate a ledge with a transition to the ceiling with contrasting wallpaper. You can designate the features of the layout in different colors, using different monochromatic wallpapers of the same texture. Good colors for both sexes are light shades of green, light gray, beige, warm blue, and light brown.

You can highlight the bright wallpaper and the existing corner with two beds, lockers for clothes. If the corner itself seems already bright, it is better to designate the play area with contrasting wallpaper, but for the integrity of the design, cut out individual fragments of the pattern and glue them, say, on cabinet doors or the facades of pedestals or even drawers. A similar technique will unite the room much more than its visual division into two different colors.

For adolescents, on the contrary, it is important to divide the space. At this age, boundaries are especially important, so some creativity is allowed. And yet, you should not sharply differentiate the room: it is better to leave a single background of wallpaper, marking your space, for example, with posters or wallpaper with photo printing. However, visual protests in the form of aggressive drawings are undesirable, since they contribute to the discomfort of both children in the same room.

Choosing wallpaper in the store from a huge assortment, you should initially exclude products that are too thick and non-breathing from the list. Of course, paper canvases will be the best choice for the walls of the nursery. They are easier to glue and not so expensive to change if necessary. In this case, the buyer has the opportunity to choose a pattern and shade. Of course, not all such products have a surface relief, which somewhat simplifies the appearance of the canvases themselves. However, it is impractical to take vinyl or woven wallpaper for decorating a nursery. Someone buys special options for gluing for painting a meter wide.They are convenient because, if necessary, they imply painting up to 20 times.

You need to buy wallpaper in such a way that it looks whole and at least roughly coincides in texture. For example, bumpy vinyl options don't go well with sleek, cheap wall murals. If you really want to apply a similar effect, it is acceptable only in the form of a panel, decorated in a baguette. Such a picture can look against the background of textured wallpaper. However, as an independent wall design, this combination is undesirable.

Wallpaper does not look beautiful in one room, the pattern of which differs significantly by age category. In this case, it is better to choose something neutral. You can paste over the walls with plain wallpaper, emphasizing the accent zones of both the boy and the girl with the same neutral tone. Otherwise, it is better to leave the distinction to household items. For example, bed linen, furniture color, bed rugs can indicate gender and age.
