On the video you can see some examples of the design of children's rooms with your own hands, using photo wallpaper, and also here you will find step-by-step instructions on how to paste them correctly.

Varieties of baby photo wallpapers

Photowall-paper for a children's room with the image of space motives, will be more suitable for the room of a boy who loves science fiction

Choosing photo wallpaper in the nursery, we want to create comfortable living conditions for our child so that he feels comfortable - at home, under protection. So that I could dream about something and strive for something. This can help correctly selected murals.

But photowall-paper is a finishing material, and hence its quality characteristics are also very important. Like any other finishing material, children's bright photo wallpaper is divided into several main types, which have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Three main types are:

• Paper.
• Fabric.
• Washable.

And since the photo cloth consists of two layers, the main types of photo wallpaper subdivided into various subspecies. Let's find out a little more about the main types of photowaves.

Paper mural

Wall murals for kindergarten are selected, although with children's images, but more neutral, like nature, animals and a fairy tale, see the example for photos

Photographic canvas on a paper basis have been known for a long time and were once already popular. Returning from oblivion, they became better with a large selection of images. As everyone knows, paper is an environmentally friendly material, which means such photo wallpaper is safe for our children.

Also, paper webs have good breathability, which means that mold and fungus will not start under them. However, the paper is quite easily torn and scratched, which will often happen in the children's room. Besides, paper cloths absorb various smells, and you will not wash them.

But this is not a disadvantage for everyone, since the child grows pretty quickly, then such cheap material as paper photo wallpaper can be changed more often than others, because the price is several times higher. And the hobbies of our child will change quite quickly.

Fabric photo wallpaper

It is recommended to choose wall murals for children on the wall of the child’s nursery with images with not very lurid and dark colors

Fabric photo-cloths are descendants of fabric wallpapers that have long adorned interiors in rich homes. They, like their ancestors, have no seam and are made in one piece. Because of this, they look even more rich and expensive, which is why their cost is many times higher than all other types of photo wallpaper.

Such photowraps are environmentally friendly and breathable, but the woven base, like the fabric, attracts dust, which means frequent cleaning. But there are difficulties with this, since woven fabrics do not tolerate wet cleaning and you will have to clean them with a vacuum cleaner.

Another of the important disadvantages of fabric photographic cloths is their installation.Since the canvas is sold in one piece and a rather large piece, you cannot apply it to the wall alone. Yes, and to everything else, you need to apply it only on perfectly smooth walls.

Washable photo wallpaper

Children's photo murals for girls most often depict fairy-tale characters, princesses and castles, this helps the girl to feel like a princess

Washable photo cloths have one important common quality - it's moisture resistance, which helps to easily care for them. Another, no less important property is the strength - resistance to mechanical and chemical influences.

These qualities are necessary in the children's room, especially if your child is still small and pretty nimble. They are also suitable for the room of a young artist who often transfers his paintings from the album to the wall. This type of photo cloth can tolerate cleaning with cleaning products.

There are three main subspecies of washable baby photo wallpapers, these are:

• Satin canvas.
• Glossy vinyl.
• Matte vinyl.

Due to their point structure, such photowaves are very strong, tolerate friction well, and their image does not fade with time. They have a fairly reasonable cost, but they need to be glued only on a flat, prepared surface.

Advice! When choosing photo wallpaper of this type, consult with experts how moisture resistant they are, although this can be found in the information on the package. Moisture resistance is marked by wavy lines.

Wallpaper selection

The future driver will love the photo wall murals of children's cars with the image of the characters from the cartoon "cars", perhaps cars will become his adult hobby

In order for the murals to look harmonious in the children's room, giving your child a sense of comfort, their choice should be approached very thoroughly, choosing both the quality of the canvas and the image.

Psychologists and designers give some tips on choosing what to rely on:

• You must consider the age of your child. For different ages, it is advised to choose a different color gamut of images. In addition, it is unlikely that a cartoon picture is suitable for a teenager, and a picture of a famous singer is an indiscriminate kid.
• Also, do not forget that the gender of the child plays a huge role in choosing an image. Indeed, for sure, a drawing with flowers or princesses will not fit the boy in the room, and the girl will definitely not want to see a picture with robots or flying saucers in her room.
• When choosing an image and its colors, you must take into account the nature and temperament of your child. So, for example, a stimulus for active actions for a calm and a little lazy child will be more vivid and dynamic images. Conversely, pastel colors will calm the activist.
• If your child can already express his wishes, then they can not be ignored. You can only correct them by choosing a more suitable color and plot of the image. But if your kid wants airplanes, then these must be airplanes.
• Of course, choosing wall murals and their image in the nursery, you must consider the colors of the entire interior and the design of the room. Ideally, the paint in the picture should be found in the rest of the decoration or furniture.
• An important factor is the stylistic orientation of the room. For example, if the baby’s room is decorated in a marine style, then images with robots or historical characters will not fit here, images of ships will be more suitable here (see.Wall mural: what interior to use) and treasure maps.
• And of course, do not forget and consider the place where you are going to stick the murals. So in the play area of ​​the children's room, you can hang a dynamic and colorful image. But in the zone of sleep and rest, the colors of the picture and its activity should be more calm.

Advice! If you doubt your abilities and are afraid to make the wrong choice, turn to a professional designer for help, because this is about your child’s room.

By age

Photowall-paper in the nursery with teddy bears, will be well suited for babies up to five years, as such images do not include too bright or dark colors

For newborn babies, they are not advised to choose very colorful images, since colors affect the psyche and emotions of a person from the first days of life. For a little man, in the first months, a calm sleep is very important, so the colors should be calming, not exciting.

For preschool children, on the contrary, it’s good to choose bright colorful and dynamic images, with many small details. It is good if the drawing has a cognitive function, for example, such as the image of various animals or children's murals alphabet, in bright colors.

Photo wallpaper in the interior of the student should be more adult, taking into account the wishes of the small owner of the room. The only thing you must remember is that vivid images will distract the child from school, so they should be placed so that they are invisible from behind the desk.

Choosing a photo wallpaper is much more difficult for a teenager, or rather you should not make this choice, your task is only to help so that the image and its color harmoniously fit into the interior of the room. And you should prepare for a non-standard and provocative choice, but do not be categorical.

For girls

Ready-made murals for children with the image of a fairytale castle, well suited to the delicate interior of a little princess

Wall mural in a girl’s room should reveal her character, for example:

• If this is a little princess, then these will be images of fairy castles, beautiful princesses or playful fairies.
• If she is a lover of animals, then these will be images of fairy-tale animals, as well as real or cartoon ones.
• If this is a shkodnitsa, then these will be images with active plots from cartoons or movies.

Also, it can be both delicate flowers and butterflies, and racing cars. The coloring of the images, and the interior in the girl’s room (seeWall mural for teenage girl: how to choose the right one), most often in delicate shades, for example, such as lilac, pink, coral or pistachio.

For boys

Boys do not necessarily prefer robots or cars, it can be a hobby for the underwater world or some other science

Most often, boys are more active than girls and the images they pick are the same, it can be:

• The technique is both racing (cars, motorbikes) and military (tanks, planes).
• Sports orientation (football, boxing) or athletes. For example, mural
• Musical orientation (groups, artists) or musical instruments.
• Cosmic orientation (flying saucers) or stars (satellites).

And much more, with an emphasis on your son’s hobbies. The coloring, in the boy’s room, is more saturated and darker than that of girls. It can be colors such as blue, brown, green, gray and even black.

Photowall-paper in an interior

Ready-made children’s photo wallpapers should be in harmony with the whole room, both with its decoration, duplicating colors and shades, and with furniture, repeating shapes and colors

We already spoke about the need for a harmonious combination of photo wallpaper and their image with the whole room. And if the colors should be repeated in the interior and design of the room or create a tint harmony of colors, then the picture on the photo wallpaper should fit the style of the room.

With a huge selection of different images, their plots and coloring, it is not very difficult to select the desired picture. But not everyone knows that photowaves vary in texture, and can be not only matte or glossy.

Variety of textures

In the photo you see an example of textural murals imitating brickwork, with graffiti on them, these are exactly the kind of teenagers often choose in their room

Manufacturers of modern photo wallpaper did not stop at ordinary photowalls, they came up with a wide variety of textural qualities that help emphasize the style of the interior in which they are located.

They come with textures:

• Stroke. This is a smooth glossy surface, this texture is well suited for space images or portraits and people.
• Sand. This is a rough surface, as if sand was poured on it. This texture is used for images of animals, plants or building structures.
• Frost. It is a fibrous surface that is ideal for images with winter scenes and landscapes.
• Canvas. This is a rough surface and really resembles a canvas. And of course, images of famous paintings and landscapes look perfect on it.
• The cloth. This canvas, reminiscent to the touch of any fabric: velvet, linen or silk. Such canvases are suitable for images of animals, birds or plants.
• Tree bark. This is a veined surface on which images of vegetation and landscapes look good.
• Stone and brick. This is a surface that imitates partially or completely, masonry or brickwork. It is well suited for contemporary images and scenes.

There are many more different textures used on the canvases, they make the colors of the images richer or calmer. With the help of any texture on the photo cloth, we can not only emphasize the style of the room, but also set the direction.

Variety of images

Ready-made murals for children with the image of an old ship and a treasure chest fit well into the marine interior of a future adventurer

Images on murals are divided into types, which, in turn, affect the perception of the picture in the room and interior. With the help of them, we can not only decorate our child’s room, but also visually change its volume.

Images are:

• Background - with which you can create the background of the entire room interior. They are available as separate rolls and do not have a single image. Most often, these are geometric shapes, graffiti or abstraction.
• Subjects - which depict any specific drawing, which, in turn, makes it clear the style of photo wallpaper. Most often they are produced in small sizes and are used to decorate the room.
• Panoramic is a large-sized photo-cloth with which you can change the geometry of the room, depending on the image drawn on them, lengthen, expand or raise the ceilings.
• Realistic - these are three-dimensional images that create the illusion of the reality of the picture. Such photo wallpaper should be used with caution in small rooms, as the reality of the image can create a sense of pressure.

Also, the change in the space of a room is affected by how the drawing is drawn and how it is displayed. For example, an enlarged and approximate image of a flower can visually make a room smaller, and a remote one, on the contrary, is visually larger.

In conclusion

Ready-made baby murals with a watercolor texture, depicting a green forest and a variety of colorful beasts, birds, insects and flowers, are very suitable for a children's room

For children, we always choose the best, but not always what we want. When choosing photo wallpaper, it is very important not to choose an image for yourself, but to let your child make this choice. And he will repay trust for this, with his love and delight.
