Images for a boy
For boys, the image on the photo wallpaper is more difficult to select than for girls. After all, flowers or princesses are not suitable for them. Little boys need vivid images that create a mood with their rich colors.
When choosing photo wallpaper in a nursery for a boy, it is necessary to consider:
- The age of the child.
- The character of the baby.
- Tastes of the son.
- The area of the room where the mural will hang.
Important! When choosing a photo wallpaper, do not forget that the color scheme on the photo canvas should be combined with the colors of the entire interior and design in the room.
Children's stories
When choosing wall murals for a nursery for a boy, you first need to rely on his age. For different ages, there are recommendations, as colors and patterns affect the character and emotions of the baby. For example, drawing too bright for a very young child can be an irritant.
For babies
For the smallest inhabitants of the nursery, you should not choose very bright drawings of photo wallpaper, as this can affect the emotionality of the baby. The child will become more restless and his sleep may be disturbed.
For small children, wall murals depicting vegetation or animals in calm colors and shades are suitable. Animals will help the child to know the world around us, and not very saturated colors, will not affect the baby's calm sleep.
Also, many choose children's photo wallpapers for boys with the image of multi-colored and various geometric shapes, numbers or letters. The multi-colored alphabet of both Russian and other languages is very popular for children's rooms.
Preschool children
Select an image for preschool children based on their tastes and character. For example, for calm children, dynamic images in bright colors are suitable, which will help the child become more active and inquisitive.
On the contrary, it is better for heperative guys to choose more calm patterns in pastel colors. This will help them quickly calm down and play more quiet games, as well as focus on any cognitive activities.
Now choosing a wallpaper pattern, you can ask the kid which of his favorite characters he prefers to see in his room.But the mural in the nursery for the boy should be hung in the play area, as this can interfere with their sweet sleep.
Here is the school
School children themselves already choose images for their room, you just need to adjust the color scheme of the picture and its dynamics, taking into account the interior and design of the entire room and the place where you want to place the photo canvas.

But such images most often have more childish and colorful drawings, usually from their favorite cartoons. If your baby does not yet have certain preferences, then neutral images of animals or natural landscapes will appeal to them and decorate the room.

- Sports - teams, players, varieties of sports.
- Technique - cars, motorcycles, airplanes.

Types of Photowalls
According to the canvas, the photo wallpaper is divided into four main types, these are:
- Paper photo cloth. They are good for teenagers' rooms, they are environmentally friendly, but not durable, so they have the lowest cost. Since hobbies and moods in adolescence change quite often, such murals are not a pity and not unprofitable to change.
- Vinyl photo cloth. This look is good because the canvases are strong and can be washed and cleaned. Such qualities are good for a child’s room, but the problem with such photo-cloths is that they do not allow air to pass through at all.
- Non-woven photofabric. They are environmentally friendly and easy to wash, they are very strong and by hooking them by chance, you can not worry that they will break. Such canvases pass air well and do not fade with time, their minus is in high cost.
- Textile photo cloth. Such canvases look luxurious and rich, therefore their cost is the highest. Everything else they are environmentally friendly and breathable. But such cloths can not be wiped with a damp cloth, and their strength is less than that of the previous species.
The best option for a child’s room is of course photo wallpaper on a non-woven fabric, but if you do not plan to see them for many years, then paper canvases are also good.
