Tips for choosing children's photo wallpaper

Children's room is a special world, with bright and cheerful colors inherent in it. Wall murals are one of the main factors that determine the mood of the room itself. Today, these wall coverings are especially popular with parents who want to decorate their children’s rooms beautifully and originally. However, in order for wall accents to look appropriate in the nursery, you need to take into account a number of basic nuances, including their correct choice.

The design of the nursery is different from other rooms in the dwelling. Unlike other rooms, it has several zones. This is a bedroom, a study, and a play space. Since the presence of zones of different purpose can create a clutter effect, you have to approach the design of the room thoroughly. It is important that, with different functionality, the room looks like a single whole space with harmoniously furnished corners.

The interior of the nursery has many details of the arrangement. So that they are in harmony with each other and not look superfluous, you have to use different design techniques, not forgetting to dose the number of elements. This complicates the choice of photowall-paper, since in most cases such coatings are quite bright and catchy. Choosing the right option, you have to think about how they will look against the general background, where they will be located, how to choose them so that they do not visually reduce the already small space.

In this case, it is necessary to choose the decoration of the wallpaper, taking into account the design features of the layout. As a rule, it can be complicated by asymmetrical protrusions, the presence of a niche, a special ceiling design using plasterboard levels. Often this design goes from ceiling to wall. We have to think over the location of the accent so that it looks expressive and appropriate against the general background.

Sometimes the children's room has insufficient lighting due to the small size of the window. Other features include the lack of footage, which most complicates the choice of wall cladding. In addition, artificial lighting devices influence the choice of coatings, because often it is necessary to take into account not only the tone of their glow. The shape of the lamps matters, and the material of their manufacture is also important.

When deciding whether photo wallpaper is needed to decorate the walls of a nursery and why they are better than conventional roll coatings, it is worth starting from some factors. For example, a classic type wallpaper has a repeating pattern. Against the general background, it is good if the theme is floral or plant, or if it is soft toys, butterflies, babies, letters or numbers. Such wallpapers are good for small children, however, a well-thought-out plot in the design of the walls has a better aesthetic perception.

Photo wallpapers in the rooms of teenagers look especially good if they correspond to the teenage inner world, hobbies and interests. In other words, they can be a means of self-expression, so adolescents prefer to choose the theme of the picture on their own. In addition, wallpaper with photo printing can indicate that the interior belongs to a specific design style. In this regard, they are often the main focus of design, which, against the background of plain wallpaper, allows one to highlight one of the main areas of the nursery.

Depending on the thickness and type of texture, they can mask the imperfect base of the wall or highlight the flaw in the layout, giving the flaw the appearance of dignity. Agree, a stylish print in a niche on the wall of the sleeping area against the background of plain wallpaper will look as if the room itself was created for a unique design. If at the same time it seems that the drawing is applied, say, on canvas or plaster, this will bring a greater effect and emphasize a particular style.

Today the wallpaper market is packed with a mass of offers for every taste and budget. Wall murals occupy a separate line in it with a wide range of possibilities. The buyer can choose products with a different type of surface, thickness and structure. At the same time, few people know that not every type of photo printing can be glued to the walls of a nursery.

The most common options are paper murals. If earlier almost all of them did not differ in the required quality and began to turn blue already in the first year of operation, today a considerable part of them have protection. This is a lamination that not only prevents fading and brightness of the color, but also a film, thanks to which the coatings do not tear when gluing. On store shelves, they are presented in the richest assortment, which allows you to purchase coverings of the desired topic, bringing the required mood into the design of the nursery.

Vinyl coverings account for a large part of photowall-paper today. Unlike paper-type counterparts, they are distinguished by a variety of textures and are able to imitate a different type of surface. They can be porous, rough, depicting sand, lime and even concrete base. In addition, they can create the effect of a painted picture by simulating a canvas.

Such wallpapers are certainly spectacular and extraordinary, although they also have drawbacks. Despite their unique texture and comfortable width, which makes it possible to reduce the number of joints to a minimum, they are not so harmless to health, because during operation they begin to release toxic substances into the air. Even in spite of the fact that vinyl panels are distinguished by brightness of colors and durability, it is not worth taking them to decorate a nursery.

One of the best lines, distinguished by both beauty and environmental friendliness, is non-woven photowall-paper. They differ from paper ones in purity and nobility of shades. Their color scheme is so diverse that it allows you to easily match the desired color to the plain wallpaper purchased for most of the walls. In addition, products of this type are easier to stick and more durable than paper options, they can hang on walls for more than 10 years. They are more elastic when glued, allow for adjustment when joining, thinner than vinyl versions and are able to imitate different textures.

There are so-called three-dimensional wallpaper with a children's theme. This is not to say that all of them will be a good purchase for decorating the accent place of the child's room. The fact is that often the desired effect is visible only at a distance; they can distort the space not for the better. However, if you approach the choice of such wallpaper thoroughly and tastefully, there is a chance to make the interior of the nursery special by visually enlarging the room. When buying such coatings, it is important to pay attention to the drawing: it should not create strain on the eyes of the child.

It should be noted that photo printing is focused on different age categories of children. This is expressed not only in the subject of the drawing, but also in its drawing. For example, for children of the nursery and the younger age group, predominantly doll-like and cartoon-drawn prints prevail. At the same time, the coatings for children of different genders are also different: for girls, these are all kinds of bears, dolls, fairies, characters of Disney cartoons.

By the way, this technique allows you to profitably accentuate a sports corner in a child's teenager. It is good because it does not need to be drawn, and the absence of small details allows you to create the effect of spaciousness. A room with such wallpaper will seem larger, lighter and more airy than images of the jungle, which, although they create the effect of warmth, are not so suitable for decorating children's walls. Often, for the decoration of children's walls, they buy photo prints depicting animals, dinosaurs, ships.

At the same time, coating designs can be very diverse both in porosity and thickness, and in the type of base. For example, they can be matte, satin, silky. And if for young children they are simpler, images for decorating the walls of teenage rooms are sometimes creative. For example, they can imitate sand, canvas and even dust prints. Photo wallpapers with a drawn map of the world are original and educational for children. They allow the child to develop, which also affects the quality of knowledge. Someone buys coverings with letters to study the alphabet and different colors. Teens love abstract prints with lettering and even hieroglyphs.

Space-themed coatings are a neutral option. These wallpapers will become not only bright, but also a relaxing accent of personal space. Looking at them, the child will calm down, which is especially important during the formation of hormonal levels. Anime-themed wallpapers look cool and extraordinary. They will definitely be appreciated by teenage girls, and by guys who adore Japanese cartoon series.

Some teens like to decorate their space with wallpaper posters featuring their favorite music, sports idols and Korean idols. Popular today are wallpapers with a single stylized tree, prints with black and white silhouettes, comics, sketch sketches, as well as girls. Transformers as the basis of the plot, if appropriate in the design of children's bedrooms, are small in size.

In order for the choice of photowall-paper to be not only harmonious, but also correspond to the inner world of the child, it is necessary to take into account the very perception of the picture. It is no secret that parents do not always successfully select the image itself, considering it beautiful and bright. Few people think that some of the images, especially young children, may be afraid. For example, this can be said about clowns and scary-looking cartoon characters.

No matter how modern the character is in photo printing, it is important to consider his appearance: wallpaper devoid of naturalness is unacceptable for wall decoration. It is undesirable to accentuate the children's space with such characters as sponge Bob, Squidward, Megamind, Hulk and obscure freaks with a mass of limbs. It is necessary to form in the child the correct attitude to everything, because over time, an incomprehensible creature can become the norm. Aesthetics should be felt in everything: this will allow the child to form his own taste in the future.

If the ceiling design has its own pattern, you will have to select wallpaper, taking into account not only color, but also a single theme. It is important that the two drawings (ceiling and wall) look harmonious, making up a single whole. In this case, 100% hit of shades is not at all necessary: ​​they can be related, it is even better for the illusion of the versatility of the tones used.

For example, to the drawing of the sky with clouds on the ceiling, you can pick up:

• for the younger age group - a background of a flower meadow, a fairy forest, a castle, flying fairies, characters from good cartoons;
• for children of primary school age - photomurals with a sea or pirate theme, prints of trees, an image of a football field in perspective;
• for teenagers - a small panel with abstraction or a photo print depicting a daytime city, a photo print with a brick texture and a graffiti pattern applied to it.

It is undesirable to buy photowall-paper with a huge pattern to accentuate the walls of a nursery, for example, a transforming robot or a warlike comic book hero. On a subconscious level, it will be difficult for a child to be in such a room. He will feel helpless and small in front of the depicted character. This will negatively affect the formation of the personality, and at a young age it can cause sleep disturbances.

Having decided on the main nuances of photowall-paper, you can go to the store to buy. If you plan to buy a cover for a teenager's room, you should invite him to purchase the desired design together. This will contribute to the development of the child's taste and create a more comfortable environment in his room.

If the child is still small, it should be chosen taking into account the basic rules.

• Wall murals should not have a gloomy color. Even the theme of the night city can be chosen so that it will look easy.
• The size of the picture should be correlated with the dimensions of the entire room. A large print will visually reduce the already insufficient space.
• Drawings should be appropriate for the age and gender of the child. It is unlikely that a teenager will invite friends to his room, the accent of which will be murals with characters from children's cartoons.
• You need to select an image taking into account the style. For example, a funny print with modern cartoon characters will never fit into a classic design.
• Consider the side of the world that the nursery windows face. Cold tones in it will seem even darker.
• Pay attention to the illumination of the room when choosing coatings for a specific area of ​​the room. It is better to hang canvases where there is a separate ceiling light. Light incident from the side distorts the colors and perception of the image as a whole.

• Do not burden the interior with a complex pattern. Avoid negative image themes and visual imbalances. The picture should look even in the interior, without hanging the room to one side.
• Consider the gender of the child when choosing the color and theme of the print. Shades have different emotional colors, this allows you to choose options for different temperaments and character of the child.
• Do not use images of different colors and themes to decorate the room of heterosexual children. In this case, you need one neutral accent with photo printing. It is better to place it in a recreation area that allows you to simultaneously unite and delimit the personal spaces of each child.
• Don't mix styles in a nursery. Eclecticism is good for adults, wall murals in this style for this room will become an extra element of the interior.

To see the possibilities of changing the perception of a child's room through photo wallpaper, it is worth referring to the examples of the photo gallery. They clearly demonstrate the harmony of the choice of print and the successful arrangement of accents. At the same time, the photos show a harmonious selection of color solutions taking into account the general concept of interior tones:

• a glamorous solution for decorating the walls of a teenage girl's bedroom;
• the silhouette line of the coatings on the background of the interior indicates the hobbies of the teenager
