How to glue wallpaper in a children's room. Wallpapering design: combination, choice, expert advice. Combining colorful wallpapers

Quick navigation through the article

Why do you need to combine wallpaper in a nursery? We can name at least 5 reasons:

1. To zone space and visually divide, say, into personal “territories”.

1. The principle of zoning is also useful if the nursery has one owner. In this case, you can highlight a wall near the bed, a play or study corner in the room.
2. Pasting the walls different wallpapers, you can divert attention from unsuccessful architectural solutions or change the visual proportions of the room.
3. In order to make good use of leftover wallpaper.
4. And just to make the nursery’s interior more interesting and fun.

In this material you will find 7 ways to combine wallpaper, 10 tips on how to combine coatings of different colors and types, as well as 30 photos of interiors for your inspiration.

7 ways to combine

Method 1. Vertical combination

The technique involves decorating walls with alternating canvases of two colors/types or more. Vertical combination is good because it allows you not to join the pattern and not be “embarrassed” by the visibility of the seams. On the contrary, joints and vertical stripes will visually raise a low ceiling.

• If you use more than two types of coatings, then you should select only one accent wall for this combination.
• Rolls should be chosen with a width of no more than the standard 53 cm.

Below are photo examples of vertical wallpaper combinations in a children's room.

Method 2. Horizontal combination

This method is more traditional because it resembles classic finish the lower third of the walls are covered with boiserie panels or lining, only instead of them there is the same wallpaper. The joints are most often covered with paper or any other borders. However, the dividing line does not have to run in a straight line - perhaps it will be arcs, waves and even zigzags.

Keep in mind that combining canvases horizontally visually expands the room, but lowers the ceiling. This solution is also not suitable for highlighting accent wall, in the described way you need to paste all the walls of the room.

• How high should the bottom “tier” be? Not here strict rules, but most often the sides are glued at a height of 1.10 cm from the floor.
• At the bottom you need to glue wallpaper of a darker shade, and at the top - a lighter shade.

When using a border, you can combine wallpaper different types, that is, different densities and thicknesses. For example, you can stick a more practical vinyl underneath, then your baby’s graffiti can be washed off.

Method 3. Highlighting niches, ledges or accent walls

This technique involves the design of any niche, ledge, accent wall or its fragment. For this purpose, bright wallpaper, for example, photo wallpaper, is combined with plain coverings or with coverings with a calm pattern (polka dots, stripes, diamonds, checks, etc.) in a neutral color.

• To zone a children's room, you need to highlight the wall next to the bed, study table or play area.
• By highlighting a niche, ledge or one wall with dark-colored wallpaper, and decorating the remaining surfaces in light colors, you can visually distance the wall, which means “enlarge” it a little and give depth to a small space.

Method 4. Creating a panel

In this case, bright and calm companions are also combined. The panels are limited by moldings or frames.

This decorative technique is a great reason to use leftover wallpaper.

Method 5. Decorating not only the walls, but also the ceiling

Companion wallpaper can be used not only to decorate walls, but also the ceiling. In this case, the child will be able to look at interesting pictures on it before going to bed.

For a small and low children's room, finishing the ceiling and walls with wallpaper is only available light wallpaper.

Method 6. Patchwork style combination

Zoning a room or highlighting an accent wall can also be created using a combination of pieces of wallpaper different colors, type and size using patchwork technique. Since the “patchwork” wall turns out to be variegated, the second companion should be monochromatic. A patchwork style wall looks great, bohemian and.

Method 7. Creating “optical illusions”

By decorating the walls with wallpaper of different colors, you can change the proportions of the room. So, in order to expand, you need to cover the ends with light canvases, and long walls- darker. And, conversely, you can add intimacy to a spacious room by covering the ends with darker coatings, and the long walls with lighter ones.

1. When choosing to cover walls with different companion wallpapers, you need to remember that the materials must be combined with each other in at least one way. It can be texture, motif, pattern, direction of lines, but best of all - color.
2. Basic principles of combination:

• Wallpaper of different tones of the same color or simply related shades, for example, pink + coral + cream or light green + green as shown in the photo below.

• A combination of wallpaper in two contrasting colors, for example, black+white, green+red, yellow+blue.

• A combination of a variegated coating with a plain one. In this case, the print of multi-colored wallpaper should contain the color of plain wallpaper.
• A combination of wallpaper with different prints, but similar in style and color scheme. For example, pink-green flowers of one type can be safely combined with pink-yellow flowers of another type.

1. Here are some tips for combining coatings of two or more colors you can take note:

• Lilac, lilac, creamy - this combination is light and delicate, excellent for girls' rooms.
• Woody brown, yellow, green - natural colors reminiscent of a forest.
• Yellow, green and pink with white - this combination perfectly conveys spring mood and suitable for a girl's room.
• Red, blue, white - especially relevant for the interior.
• Orange, sand, yellow: a combination for a room in the style of the African savannah.

1. The most versatile companion is polka dot, striped, diamond or checkered wallpaper with a neutral background.

1. The colors of the stripes are selected so as to slightly influence the child’s temperament: bright and contrasting combinations would be appropriate in the room where a child lives who lacks activity and communication skills. And for an easily excitable and hyperenergetic baby, it is worth using materials in similar and calm tones.

1. You can cover walls with wallpaper of different colors, patterns and widths, but of the same material. So, paper coverings are combined with paper, vinyl with vinyl, and so on. It is possible to combine materials with different thicknesses and textures in one area, but it is very difficult and risky.
2. Chalk, bamboo, and cork coverings are combined with wallpaper of any color and pattern.
3. The easiest way is to select companions, as well as borders, from one collection or at least from one manufacturer.
4. When choosing the color of the walls, also take into account the orientation of the room to the cardinal points. A combination of wallpaper in cold shades is suitable for southern rooms, and warm for northern ones.
5. In small rooms, the walls should be light and not too intricate, preferably with a small rather than large pattern. The photo below shows an example of discreet wall decoration with two types of wallpaper.

When choosing children's wallpaper to decorate your baby's room, you can initially start from two points:

• you are decorating a room for a newborn;
• You are decorating a room for a child 3 years old and older.

Children's paper wallpaper: decorating the baby's first room

In the first case, you need to take into account the following basic tips:

The wall covering should be natural. Thus, the choice of wallpaper mainly comes down to catalogs of paper coverings.

Every manufacturer has collections of paper wallpaper, with the exception of only Italian and German factories specializing in the production of elite textile wallpaper (this is Rasch Textil Germany), and Italian factories Italreflexes, Zambaiti, Sangiorgio). Textiles are also not bad, but for a short-term covering in a nursery they are too luxurious. In a word, the textiles look and cost “not childish.” So, banal plain wallpaper will cost you $75/roll (the standard roll for textile wallpaper is 1.06x10.05 m), and a floral pattern from Rasch Textil (pictured below), for example, costs $194/roll.

Many manufacturers combine wallpaper models suitable for decorating the walls of a children's room into separate collections. We find these, for example, in the catalogs:

• Wallquest (USA) − Playdate Again, Jelly Beans;
• York (USA) − Honey Bunny, Disney, Brothers and Sisters, Boy’s world;
• Blue Mountain (USA) - Bright Ideas, My Pad;
• Eijffinger (Netherlands) − Wallpower For Kids, Wallpower Unlimited, Hits for Kids, Wallpower Next, Wallpower Mini, PIP Wallpapers;
• A.S.Creation (Germany) − Boys and girls, ESPRIT The Kids Collection;
• Marburg (Germany) - Manekin.

Wallpaper for the nursery should be muted light colors with animalistic, floral, or “cartoon” patterns. The designer collections of some factories contain dark wallpaper for children's: for example, the KELLY HOPPEN collection (manufactured by Graham&Brown, England), model Rose.

You can use such wallpaper in the interior of a nursery, but for school-age or older children school age due to the aggressiveness of the color of the wall covering, and even then, it is better to use them not for finishing the entire perimeter of the room, but rather for zoning: highlighting a certain area of ​​the room. About the child’s perception of the color of the room and the influence of color on the child - just below.

Traditionally, wallpaper for a room for newborns is selected according to the principle: blue for boys, pink for girls. In the case of small children, the concept of “unisex” is valid. For example, what if you move away from “tradition” and cover the walls of your son’s room with light yellow wallpaper? In this case, it would be appropriate to combine wallpaper: a combination of a yellow background with a dark-colored border looks good.

Another option: divide the room horizontally with wallpaper of two colors - no one will say that there is something wrong with the design of the boy’s nursery.

The same can be said about decorating a room for a newborn girl. Pastel blue tones ( common option- blue wallpaper with clouds) - can also be classified as “unisex”.

Children's wallpaper for walls: if the child has grown up

The child begins to perceive the color of the room that surrounds him most of the day from infancy, but color will begin to influence the formation of certain character traits later.

Psychologists advise changing the interior of the nursery depending on the age of the child:

• gluing appropriate wallpaper when a baby arrives in the house;
• change of interior after 3 years;
• preparing the room for the “school” period;
• changing the look of a room for a teenager (14 years and older).

IMPORTANT! In some cases, the first and second periods are combined into the class “From birth to 6 years”.

The advice is quite practical, because... Ideally, during these same periods, not only the appearance of the room should change, but also its furnishings due to the changing needs of the child.

We touched on the first period above. Now let's talk about the rest.

The manufacturer helps us a lot here too, presenting collections that are also divided according to the age and gender of the child:

• for decorating children's walls aged from 3 to 7 years, educational wallpaper with favorite cartoon characters is suitable (in this case, the Disney collection, manufactured in York, USA is most appropriate) or with a pattern corresponding to the child's first hobbies;

• for wallpaper that will be used to cover a child’s room during primary and secondary school, it is better to choose wallpaper that is plain or with an unobtrusive pattern; with such wallpaper you can highlight the children’s work area so that the wall covering does not distract the fidget from studying; Also, these wallpapers should deviate a little from the definition of “children's wallpaper”, i.e. wallpapers with cars, construction sets, bears and other cartoon animals are no longer suitable;

By the way, sticking wide-format wallpaper or panel wallpaper on the walls (as in the photo above) is an excellent option, but if you are thinking about renovating the nursery yourself, you will have to tinker with such a canvas quite a bit.

But in the interior such wallpaper looks great! In this format, full-length photographs look good: a city, an exotic landscape, or even a photo from a memorable family trip on March 8 (made to order at regional factories or photo studios).

One of the latest fashion trends for children's rooms is 3D wallpaper. However, in terms of environmental friendliness, such a coating is best used only for the rooms of children aged 14 and older.

• should be based on the preferences of the child himself - here the character and hobbies of the student are of paramount importance - so before choosing wallpaper, ask the child’s opinion: let him determine for himself what “ beautiful wallpaper“, he is interested in pictures on the wallpaper or he prefers wallpaper without a picture (the parental “veto”, of course, remains in force).

Wallpaper color for children's rooms: small tricks

Wheelbarrows, flowers and stripes on the walls of the nursery are some of the main guidelines when choosing wall coverings. Although you need to pay no less attention to the color of the drawing, as well as the color of the base of the paintings.

Here are some secrets of the influence of color on a child (by the way, in most cases the same principles are effective for an adult):

For a sleepy child, whose morning rise is a daily feat for you, it is better to decorate the room in warm, so-called “cozy” shades. These are yellow, light brown, pastel orange, green colors. The same color scheme, to some extent, can help “talk” an uncommunicative baby and give a boost of energy every new day.

When decorating a room for an inactive child You can also use bright elements: for example, contrasting soft toys, as well as stickers or bright borders on the walls. In such a room, the child will be able not only to develop creatively, but also to have a good rest. As one of the options, polka dot wallpaper: on pastel tone The bases look great with multi-colored “pea” circles or other bright small designs.

IMPORTANT! It is not recommended to use too many bright, “screaming” colors, because... color can play a cruel joke: from a small lazy child you can turn into not just an active, but a hyperactive child, and in addition - nervous, aggressive and capricious. So it will be enough to dilute the pastel with two or three bright spots, and not decorate the room “like a harlequin”.

Alternative option: What color can help calm a hyperactive child? Shades of neutral/cool colors can come to the rescue here: beige, soft green, pastel shades of blue, etc.

These shades have a number of secrets:

• a room wall design made in blue, for example, can help remove emotional stress, relax after a hard/stressful day, create an atmosphere of safety;

  Dark colors - no best choice for children: according to psychologists, rich dark shades on emotional development children have a depressing effect, often provoking depressive states.

  Children's wallpaper: buy

  And finally, about prices.

  IN price category“Affordable and tasteful” wallpaper is German manufacturers. Here prices on average do not rise above $21–31/roll, and the minimum price is only $7. German wallpaper has taken root in our market because it can withstand price competition with domestically produced wallpaper, surpassing them in quality and design. Paper wallpaper from a Belarusian wallpaper factory, for example, can cost from $2.5 per roll.

  In the “above average” price category, the undoubted leader is American paper wallpaper for children's rooms. Here the price practically never drops below $62. The difference, you see, is significant. So, a room of 12 m² can be covered with German wallpaper for $250-450 (if we take the lower price sector, then $100-120 will be enough), and for wallpaper from the USA you will have to pay about $750-920. Despite the fact that the price is almost twice as high, American wallpapers are no different in quality from German ones, but the designs are more pleasant, more “childish”, so to speak. And there are much more decorative options for accompanying materials for American wallpaper.

  Good children's wallpaper simply cannot be cheap, like any quality product in principle. So, the most expensive category is panels and wide-format wallpaper. Not many manufacturers produce such wallpaper for children (Eijffinger, Netherlands; York USA). Prices for such wallpaper can jump up to $375 per panel. In this case, you will receive a canvas with dimensions of 1.86x2.6 m or a canvas with dimensions of 3.25x2.6 m.

  Let's summarize.

  Which wallpaper to choose for a nursery: briefly about the main thing

  To decorate the walls of a children's room, paper wallpaper in pastel colors with a bright contrasting pattern/stickers is preferred (this can be either vinyl stickers, and luminous phosphorus stickers) on the theme of flora and fauna, depicting the child’s favorite cartoon characters (Disney or Winx characters, for example) or on the theme of your child’s hobbies (cats, airplanes, constellations, adventures, etc.). d.), selected according to the child’s age and character traits.

  Among manufacturers of children's wallpaper, wallpaper from the German companies Marburg and Rasch is preferred due to their low cost compared to American-made wallpaper. Also, the catalog of children's wallpaper from the German company Erismann (Erismann, Germany/Russia) can be considered profitable and meets all the above requirements. This manufacturer produces non-woven wallpaper and non-woven wallpaper.

  Issue price:

  • Kyiv - from 47 UAH/roll;
  • Moscow - from 214 rubles/roll.

Instructions

To begin with, it’s a good idea to decide on the wallpaper material for the children’s room. The variety of options can be confusing: these include the already common non-woven wallpaper, textile wallpaper, liquid wallpaper, glass wallpaper and even vegetable wallpaper. But perhaps you should still opt for the inexpensive paper version?

Paper is a breathable, environmentally friendly and cheap material. The latter is important. While the child is still small, there is a high probability that he will dirty the walls, try to check how firmly the coating is glued, and even draw on the wallpaper. In addition, a child changes quickly with age: his tastes, preferences and aesthetic preferences “grow” with him. And if a child of about five years old is pleased to see images of Disney cartoon characters on his walls, a schoolchild is unlikely to like it. Paper wallpaper is the easiest to change if the child wants it or they lose their appearance.

Regarding the choice of texture, it is better to give preference smooth wallpaper. Dust accumulates more easily and quickly on textured surfaces, and this is extremely undesirable for a child’s room.

The color of the wallpaper is also important. Some parents believe that bright, cheerful colors are best suited for a nursery. But we must remember that such colors excite nervous system, therefore they are absolutely not suitable as the main tone of the room in which they live hyperactive child. For such a baby, a covering of soft green or sky blue colors, which have a calming effect on the psyche, is more suitable. If you need to make the room brighter, it is better to stop at warm colors, but also in delicate pastel shades.

The walls in the nursery, of course, should not look boring, so you should carefully choose the pattern on the wallpaper. As already mentioned, fairy tale and cartoon characters are the simplest option, but far from the best: the child quickly gets bored with this design, and in order to update it, you have to completely re-paste the wallpaper. In addition, it should be taken into account that bright large pictures irritate the nervous system and interfere with concentration during classes.

Much the best option There will be the use of neutral floral or abstract designs, or it is worth covering the room with wallpaper without a pattern. To prevent such a nursery from looking boring and too strict, you can use various options decor. For example, photo wallpaper on one of the walls is not a bad option at all: they will create a specific atmosphere, and besides, it will be easy to replace them if necessary.

Usage various kinds stickers are also a smart option. Such decorations can be easily attached to walls, furniture and glass surfaces without damaging them. If necessary, the stickers can be replaced with new ones, which will give the room a completely different flavor.

By the way, you can satisfy your preschooler’s craving for “wall painting” by pasting one of the walls (or part of it) with smooth white sheets - the child will decorate it with drawings on his own. If desired, you can make several inserts on the walls for this purpose, separating them from the main color of the wallpaper with frames made of paper or plastic borders, and the “canvases” for future children’s masterpieces will be ready. Later, it is easy to replace them with new ones, simply by covering the old works with clean sheets.

For a schoolchild, a relevant “wall decoration” would be, for example, a large colorful map of the world or even a map of the starry sky, tables and other materials that help with studies. By the way, it is believed that a schoolchild will be able to concentrate best in a room with striped wallpaper.

If a teenager wants to decorate a room to his liking, do not prevent him from doing so.

Let your teen take an active part in redecorating his room, including choosing and hanging wallpaper.
