Fabulous wallpaper
Photowall-paper is an amazing decorative finishing material for any room. With their help, we can not only create a unique interior in the room, reinforced by accessories, but also visually change the space of the room, making it larger or smaller, higher or lower.

Photowall-paper of a nursery
With the help of fabulous photo wallpapers you can give your child a real fairy tale. It can be a magical forest or a kingdom of heaven, it can be an underwater world or a kingdom of prehistoric animals. They can be from your favorite cartoons or invented by you personally.
Of course, when choosing photo wallpaper in a nursery, you need to consider:
- Interests of the child. For example: some girls love princesses and fairies, while others love animals or butterflies; boys, however, can get involved in cars and planes, and others can be knights and pirates.
- Gender of the child. For boys, you definitely won’t choose photo wallpapers with fairy-tale princesses, and airplanes are not really suitable for girls.
- The age of your child. Colorful images of funny animals are more suitable for kids, while older children already have their own preferences and visions of a fairy tale.
- Child character. For calm children, it is possible and even necessary to choose saturated and effective images, for a hyperactive baby, it is better to choose a calm picture.
- The style of the room. If the child’s room does not have a certain style, then with the help of accessories and textiles, you can emphasize the theme of the image, which will complement the fairy-tale world.
- Indoor color scheme. Colors of decoration, furniture and textiles should repeat the colors or shades of the picture palette, they can also be emphasized with accessories, this will create harmony.
- Room lighting. If your child’s room is on the dark side and there is not enough light in it, then the image should be in light colors.
- Room Dimensions. Some images can affect the parameters of the room, making it visually larger or smaller.
Advice! Be sure to pay attention to the quality of the photo canvas, as modern photo wallpaper is created from various materials, photo wallpaper for the child’s room should be environmentally friendly.
Photo cloth quality
Each room of the house has its own special requirements for the quality features of photographic cloths, for example: in the children's room, environmental friendliness is most important, and if you want to place the murals in the kitchen (see Wall mural for the kitchen: which ones to choose), then the photo cloth should be washed well. Consider the types of photowaves consisting of two layers.
The bottom layer is the main one:
- Paper, created from paper, it is environmentally friendly, which is good for a children's room or bedroom. But, unfortunately, like paper, it is easily torn, which is not suitable for a nursery. In stores you can find paper murals with a reinforced paper layer, using special impregnation or a protective top layer. Paper murals are also good because the range of images they have is very large and the lowest price.
- Wovencreated using fabric fibers, it resembles fabric and looks very impressive. Of course, such a canvas is environmentally friendly and allows air to pass through well, but one of the drawbacks is its increased dust attractiveness, while it cannot be wiped with a damp cloth, but only vacuum cleaned. But there are also protected sheets that can even be washed. Due to its high aesthetic appearance, such photo wallpaper is very expensive.
- Non-woven (see Non-woven photo wallpaper: how to choose and stick)created from natural materials, which makes it environmentally friendly. Such canvases consist of continuous positive qualities: they “breathe” well, wash easily, are resistant to damage, the image does not fade, tolerate temperature changes, do not burn and much more. Their disadvantages can be considered quite a high cost and a not very large selection of diverse images.
- Vinylcreated from artificial materials, but considered safe. There are several varieties of vinyl paintings, depending on the method of their manufacture, this affects the strength and thickness of the paintings themselves. Vinyl photowalls are ideal for rooms with high humidity, as they tolerate it very well, so such photo wallpaper can be washed and cleaned. All canvases are durable and poorly torn.
Top layer - protective happens:
- Matte, which makes the coloring of the image a little calmer and muffled. Without special impregnation, he will not be able to protect the canvas.
- Laminated, consisting of a transparent film that protects the canvas and creates a glossy sheen, making the image's colors brighter and more saturated.
- Textural, very unusual, since it imitates various elements and materials that can not always be protective without special impregnation.
Advice! Be sure to additionally consult with a specialist on the qualities of the selected photo wallpaper.
Variety of textures
Consider some textures that can mimic a photowall:
- Surface is a smooth, even surface with a gloss, suitable for space images or machines.
- Hoarfrost is a fleecy surface, good for a winter fairy tale.
- Sand is a rough surface suitable for oriental tales.
- Stone and brick - ideal for images of old castles.
- Fabrics: linen, velvet, silk and others - suitable for images of fairy princesses.
- The tree bark is an uneven, veined surface, well suited for a fabulous forest.
- Mural - this canvas is well suited for images of knights and pirates.
There are a lot of textures and each one is good in its own way, you need to choose them based only on your taste.
