Wallpaper for Kids: Flowers, Polka Dots & More!

Posted on: June 16, 2016 by admin

I'll never forget the look on little Emma's face when she saw her new butterfly wallpaper. "Mommy, it's like sleeping in a garden!" she squealed. That moment reminded me why kids' room decor matters so much - it's not just about looks, it's about creating a world where their imagination can soar.

Why Wallpaper Beats Paint for Kids' Rooms

  • Instant personality - Transforms blank walls into storybook scenes
  • Easy to change - Peel-and-stick options grow with your child
  • Hides imperfections - Busy patterns camouflage crayon "art"
  • Stimulates creativity - Visual stories inspire play and dreams

Designer Tip: The best kids' wallpaper uses durable, washable materials - because sticky fingers happen!

Smart Tips for Choosing Kids' Wallpaper

  1. Think longevity - Will they still love this in 2 years?
  1. Consider lighting - Dark rooms need light-reflecting designs
  1. Test first - Colors look different at night vs. day
  1. Start small - One accent wall makes big impact
  1. Involve your child - Let them pick from pre-approved options

Cautionary Tale: One dad learned the hard way - that "cool" spaceship wallpaper became terrifying at bedtime!

Where to Use Wallpaper for Maximum Magic

  • Behind the bed - Creates a dreamy focal point
  • In reading corners - Enhances storytime imagination
  • On closet doors - Surprise pop of personality
  • Ceiling surprise - Makes bedtime more fun

Designer Hack: Use removable wallpaper inside bookshelves for secret colorful surprises
