Choosing a wallpaper for a nursery for boys

Interior decoration in a children's room is a serious and responsible job. And this applies not only to the high-quality protection of the walls of the room, but also to the formation of a good taste of the little inhabitant, his perception of the world around him. The design of a children's room is also the design of a child's personal space, especially when it comes to the boy's place of residence.

First, you need to decide what material the wallpaper for the children's room should be made of, since, in addition to external beauty and giving the room a unique impression, they should be of high quality and not harm the health of the child.

Today manufacturers offer more than one type of wall coverings.

• The most economical and common are paper wallpaper... Their main plus is the complete absence of chemicals in the composition. Some parents are dubious about this choice: paper wallpapers are short-lived and absolutely do not tolerate moisture. In this situation, this can be considered as a plus: the growing baby loves to draw on wall coverings, thus expressing his attitude to the world and love of creativity. It is almost impossible to wipe children's drawings from paper wallpaper - it is better to let the boy enjoy the full opportunity to dream up, and then change them, since the price for this version of wallpaper is low.

• Vinyl wallpapers at a price slightly more expensive than the previous ones. This option is considered because of their strength and water resistance: it is very easy to wipe off various stains and patterns from the coating with a simple damp cloth. The appearance of the product does not lose its attractiveness for many years, and in stores today you can find vinyl wallpapers with a wide variety of patterns for a growing man. The only drawback of such a wall covering is air tightness.
• Non-woven wallpaper elastic and safe. Particularly attractive is the fact that they can be colored to your liking. Such a wall covering is able to visually hide all wall defects, but it is not cheap.

• The liquid wallpaper - also a great option for decorating a boy's room. They are practical, do not have a specific odor, and easily fit on any surface. They wash perfectly - ideal for a creative kid. In this case, many parents are stopped only by the price of the wallpaper.
• Photo wallpaper is one of the most expensive wall coverings, sometimes it is produced made of fabric... Such wallpapers allow you to create a whole fairy-tale world in a child's room: heroes of your favorite TV series and cartoons can appear on the walls of the room.
• Experts recognize absolutely ecological cork and bamboo wallpaper... They have a nice structure, they are practically soundproof, but they are expensive.

An important factor is the moment of choosing a color scheme for a young man, especially since, thanks to a professional combination of wallpaper shades, a room can be divided into several zones, if necessary.

You can use wallpaper with a print or dilute plain colors with applique.

Child after 2 years is already beginning to understand what he likes best. He chooses a wall with cartoon characters, he is determined with his favorite color.Usually at this age, bright colors are preferable: green, orange, blue. You can pick up a coloring wallpaper for the boy and paste over the lower part of the wall with them, and in the area where he does not reach, use liquid wallpaper.

Ages 5 to 9 the boy is the most active. He needs to try everything, tug and paint.

It is better at this age to divide the room into zones with wallpaper, then the child will have a place for toys, an area for classes and a sleeping place. At this age, wall murals are suitable for the nursery, for boys it is especially interesting, they can already "advise" parents on what is "trendy" now.

But if he needs bright spots in a calm atmosphere, you can again resort to zoning: present one of the walls in the color scheme that the child likes the most.

After 12 years the teenager himself decides what he likes best. He does not recognize any "childish" elements in his room. It is clear that at this age he will choose deeper shades: purple, green and blue.

To make a child's room stylish and interesting, at a very young age, you can use wall murals with family photos. Then the atmosphere in the children's room will become cozy and warm.

But, of course, the most "popular" drawings for a future man will be cars, photographs of famous athletes or images of movie characters.

Some boys are fond of the marine theme since childhood. To do this, parents purchase wallpaper with images of ships on one wall, while others are simply decorated in blue shades. For believability, you can put a "pirate" chest in one of the corners and hang the ropes.

The design of the room, of course, depends on the preferences of the child. Usually, at a young age, they are interested in sports events, they can also be attracted by various landscapes of exotic islands, motorcycles and cars, their favorite singers or musicians, they are also fond of graffiti. The latter will create the impression of unusualness and arouse genuine interest in his friends.

When choosing wallpaper for a growing boy's room, you must take into account its size and layout. If the room is small, then it is the light-colored wallpaper that will visually increase the square of the meters. If there is a lot of furniture in the room, and modular models are now very popular, then it is preferable to choose wallpaper without a large pattern. Here, once again, the possibility of zoning a room with the help of colors and the structure of wall coverings comes to the rescue. One wall, for example, is set aside for a bright picture - the same wallpaper, original decor or print, and the rest of the walls can be pasted over with light wallpaper without patterns.

And also pay attention to the color of the furniture: it also should not be flashy shades.

The lack of natural light can also be compensated for by the color scheme of the wall covering. Beige, gold and even orange wallpapers will "add" light to a small dark room.

In a spacious and light room, wallpaper with variegated prints will look very good, and various geometric patterns will give it a special chic, especially since their relevance has not diminished for many years.

As mentioned above, the wallpaper in the children's room should not only please the eye, but also be safe for the child. When choosing them, be sure to look in the instructions for what material they are made of.

This is not entirely true: trying to "fit" the product for vinyl, more expensive ones, they add such a harmful substance as formaldehyde to the wallpaper, which, when burned, negatively affects the human nervous system. Fortunately, this happens quite rarely, but it is better to play it safe and carefully study the information on the instructions.

Consult with experts which of the products is safer, and be sure to ventilate the room after pasting.

A boy's room can become not only a comfortable room, but also the most beloved and comfortable one. The main thing is to take into account the interests of the child, try to come to an agreement with him, if your opinion does not coincide with his decision.

Kids will be delighted with bright wallpapers with their favorite characters from fairy tales.

And when your grown up kid demands to replace the "cartoon" wallpaper with more serious ones, it is better to support him in this. Then he will be happy to be on the territory of his personal space, he will be able to fully engage in lessons in it or relax.

If a boy is over 10 years old, then he can generally refuse various characters on the wall of his room. Choose wallpaper with a geometric pattern for him: such models will emphasize the peculiarity of the space, and in tandem with original furniture they will make the room a magical place.

If the teenager nevertheless insists on the plot background, go to the store with him and choose those wall coverings that will fully suit his taste.

Designers offer a lot of options for decorating a children's room for boys. An interesting option can be wallpaper of almost white color. To prevent the room from resembling a hospital room, add bright spots to it, for example, brightly colored furniture, hang original decorations on the walls: a guitar, photographs in original frames, you can even use imitation of road signs or announcements.

The originality will give the room and wallpaper in the "loft" style: a brick or concrete. Match wooden furniture, matching accessories, and your young heir will have a lot of fun living in a stylish and trendy room.
