What is the best wallpaper for the walls of a children’s room?
Help determine the choice of wallpaper for the room of children aged 4 and 7 years. I have two sons, we are doing repairs in their room, we want to choose a wallpaper that looks beautiful and is practical. Many parents do not recommend buying paper wallpaper for a children’s room, they say that you need to use washable wallpaper or other types and materials that can be used to decorate the children’s room.
But my husband and I would like to see beautiful and modern wallpapers of their favorite super heroes in the children’s room. When choosing a wallpaper, many questions arose:
- What material is better to choose wallpaper for the walls of the children’s room;
- Which wallpaper factories produce wallpaper for children’s rooms;
- How to understand that the wallpaper is environmentally friendly and does not harm the health of the baby.
I would be very grateful to everyone who will help to deal with these issues.

Choosing the right wallpaper for a child’s room is often a difficult question. It is best to paint the walls in children’s rooms, since if a child draws a wall, it can be washed, and if it is a drawing already on the wallpaper, it will be much more difficult to get rid of it.
If you have already decided and want to decorate children’s walls with wallpaper, I recommend choosing non-paper wallpapers, since they really get dirty quickly, especially in the children’s room.
From wallpaper it is best to take textile or vinyl. Nowadays, it is not at all difficult to choose and buy children’s wallpapers for walls, many factories produce wallpapers for children.
I recommend to look at inexpensive collections of wallpapers from such factories as York, Khroma, Casadeco high quality and inexpensive prices for many children’s collections.

Thank you for your responses! Do you know any collection of wallpapers with Marvel heroes? I searched on the Internet and can’t find anything suitable?
Can vinyl and textile wallpaper be soaked with water? Wash off dirt? It seems to me that they deform and lose their appearance if water gets on them, am I wrong?
Sabrina
Not all non-woven, vinyl, textile wallpapers can be. Wallpapers are of different quality and different density, this can be said for cleaning dirt, most likely if you buy good and expensive versions of wallpaper, you can wipe them. You can count on cleaning cheap wallpaper.
When cleaning for the first time, it is better to conduct a neat test: try to wipe a small and inconspicuous section of the wall. If all goes well, continue.
So, not all vinyl or textile wallpaper can be washed – but this is not always necessary. It is often sufficient to gently clean with a slightly damp cloth and soapy water.

As for the kids’ collections featuring Marvel comics characters, you can check out the York Disney Kids wallpapers – these are the ones I know. In general, I am a small specialist in wallpaper for children.

Now I live in Ukraine, I prefer to buy on the same site RULON, which is considered one of the best places in the city of Kiev where they sell both children’s types of wallpaper and ordinary ones.
As for what you want to buy in the nursery wallpaper on which superheroes will be depicted – maybe you should order wall murals for the walls? I think they will look good. Now there are many companies around the world that provide wallpapers of absolutely any size – in this version, you can order exactly the superhero for your child that he likes best.

High-quality wallpaper costs a lot of money. You always need to take into account the moment that the child is growing rapidly and his preferences change faster. This must be taken into account when choosing wallpaper for a nursery. I would not recommend buying wall murals for a nursery, as the quality of paint and paper can be questionable.

I looked at this online store where you recommend buying baby wallpapers. The range of wallpapers is good, there are those factories that I would recommend for a children’s room. But unfortunately for me this store is useless, because I live in another city and the delivery of wallpaper will be expensive. Well, in general, not bad, the prices for wallpapers are adequate, I see new collections in the assortment. And the main thing is that such factories as York, Casadeco, Rasch are represented – whose wallpapers can be considered as wallpapers of excellent quality in the middle price range.

I have already reviewed many wallpapers in the baby room. I liked some of the Khroma murals, they are stylish and beautiful. Are Khroma wallpapers considered good wallpapers? What can you say about them?
Julia Art
You understand that everyone has their own preferences and tastes. For my daughter in her nursery, I would choose wallpaper from other factories. You look that they would be on a non-woven or vinyl base, and many factories produce such wallpapers.
I have named only a part of the wallpaper factories to which you can turn your attention. I have listed my favorite brands for you. If you want to know my opinion on Khroma wall wallpaper – yes, it is also a good and high quality wallpaper.
You can buy them, only their price is expensive. For this money, you can buy wallpapers from other factories, which will look just as good in your children’s room.

And in the Kiev region or in Odessa, even in Moscow, there are a lot of salons with good children’s wallpapers, it is not necessary to look at one site or shop to buy the desired product, including wallpaper. With wallpaper, you need to know what to buy, which factory, which collection is more important.

I recently read on the forum that some wallpapers can be toxic and it is not recommended to glue such wallpapers to a child’s room?
Harriy
In our child’s room, wallpapers of the famous German factory Rasch are pasted on the walls. Look maybe you will find in the collections of this factory those wallpapers that will suit and like your kid. Rasch is a very well-known factory, they all have very good quality wallpapers, those who have already met the wallpapers of this brand know what I’m talking about. The only negative is that they have few children’s catalogs with wallpaper. But you will definitely pay attention to the wallpaper of this factory, then you will definitely not have any questions and doubts about the quality of the wallpaper.
Harriy
Do not buy cheap wallpapers and they will not be toxic; as a rule, good materials and expensive paint are used in high-quality and good wallpapers. Good and elite factories make sure that their reputation does not deteriorate. I believe that some cheap options can be harmful wallpaper.

Only cheap and substandard wallpapers can be toxic. If you buy from any catalog of famous wallpaper factories, even their cheapest wallpaper collections, they will be made of quality materials. Good paper and safe paint. In general, the store must provide you with documents confirming that the wallpaper is safe for human health. As a variant of the model, use liquid wallpaper – the price is inexpensive, practical.

The material of the wallpaper in the children’s room can be anything, just try not to use some inexpensive wallpaper. When buying cheap options, you run the risk of:
– get a low-quality wallpaper that will serve you for a short time, will eventually lose its appearance and will peel off, the picture will fade and change color;
– cheap wallpaper uses the simplest and most inexpensive paints that may contain toxic substances and will definitely not be useful for your child’s health.
There is a huge selection of wallpapers on the market, I can’t say that you need to pay attention to one factory. I am sure that in many wallpaper brands you will find wallpapers that will suit the style of your children’s room and your child will like them.

The color and style of wallpaper for a child’s room is very important, but you don’t need to start with it. The most important thing is the type of decorative wall decoration: its safety and durability depend on it. The best design solution in the child’s room would be to choose paper-based wallpaper – they are environmentally friendly and do not emit harmful substances. It is always worth checking the quality certificate for the absence of hazardous dyes.
Choosing a pattern for children’s wallpaper also needs to be thought out and correctly. Now your child likes some super heroes and characters, in a year or two they will like others. A nursery for a child is a personal space, a world of their own. The decorations will change as your little one grows.
Choose a cheerful wallpaper for a child over the age of six. They can be juicy, bright, interesting, but avoid drawings and patterns. Otherwise, complex images will distract him. Various combinations are possible here, since the baby is no longer interested in one color.

In order to understand that the wallpaper is really safe for the health of the child – be sure to ask the seller for a quality certificate in the store, which confirms that these wallpapers are safe for children’s health.
I prefer non-woven or vinyl wallpaper for my baby’s room. They are more reliable they can be wiped and more durable than paper ones.
As already mentioned, large images can distract a child from learning and other activities – experts do not recommend using images on the entire wall.
It is also not recommended to use images of bright objects that can distract the child’s attention.
Look at vinyl catalogs of wallpaper factories such as: Rasch, York, Marburg, Grandeco, Decoprint – these are excellent wallpaper factories with a large assortment!

Normal baby wallpaper shouldn’t be too cheap. I would not recommend buying for less than $ 25-30 per roll of wallpaper. Standard wallpaper rolls are 10 meters long and 0.53 wide. There are also rolls 1 meter wide and 10 meters long.
Such wallpaper is easy to glue on the walls of a nursery, but meter-long wallpaper costs twice as much as usual. As a rule, wallpapers that cost more than $ 30 (10.05 / 0.53 rolls) will be made of good materials and are suitable for a kid’s room.
Textile wallpaper looks great in any room, I would recommend that you take either vinyl or textile wallpaper. True, textile wallpaper costs about $ 100 – $ 150 per roll. But they look very beautiful in any interior.

You can use a liquid form of wallpaper – this is an excellent option for decorative plaster, containing mineral and plant fibers. It is a uniform surface without seams. A convenient option for a child’s creativity, decoration, stickers, drawings. With the help of liquid wallpaper, you can very beautifully decorate the walls in the nursery. Plus they are environmentally friendly, you can wash the walls if a child draws something.
Only in your case is a minus, since you are unlikely to be able to post an image of your favorite super hero on the wall.
