How to Choose the Best Photo Wallpapers for a Child's Room?

Photo wallpapers for children's room

Following basic rules, we choose photo wallpapers that harmoniously look on the wall. The color palette should be balanced and the pattern must not irritate the child.

From an early age, children need to be taught to appreciate beauty. Therefore, for a child's overall development, it is better to decorate the wall not with Disney characters but with photo wallpapers featuring mythological heroes, floral patterns, world maps, and cultural heritage objects.

This choice is a step toward the future since your child will grow into a school-age kid and then transition into adolescence in no time. Will you really renovate the child's room every five years?

Prices for photo wallpapers for a child's room

Now, let's talk about prices.

The first two samples belong to the Wallpaper Wanted collection by Dutch factory Eijffinger.

The first roll is a six-part photo wallpaper. When assembled, it forms an image of 2.79x2.8 m.

These are fleece wallpapers with a light acrylic top layer that protects the photo wallpaper from UV exposure and allows for wet cleaning of the panels.

The second sample in this collection is a 1.86x2.8 m photo wallpaper. Technologically, it's identical to the previous one. The main difference is that this image consists of four parts instead of six like in the peacock wallpaper for a girl's room.

The price for the larger roll is $444, and for the smaller one — $300.

The 'Paris' photo wallpapers shown in the third image are significantly cheaper — only $62 for a 1.8x1.25 m roll. Initially, the manufacturer offers to print this image on paper.

However, you can optionally choose any texture for the design: painting (price from $43/m²), linen (from $42/m²), canvas (from $59/m²). The print on laminated wallpapers will cost the same regardless of which base is chosen — matte vinyl, glossy, satin or 'salamander' type vinyl (fixed price $49/m²). The most expensive base for such a print is fresco (the cost of antique and Venetian frescos ranges from $71/m²).

The wall finishing in the fourth image consists of several components: first, standard black-and-white photo wallpapers with images of Paris and the Eiffel Tower (regular paper wallpapers priced from $15 per roll), and second, photo wallpapers with a larger Eiffel Tower print.

IMPORTANT! As an alternative, vinyl stickers can be used: they are easier to apply on any base and require no special care (vinyl surface can withstand wet cleaning and excessive natural light).

Finally, the fifth image.

These wallpapers are often made only upon order with individual calculations for the customer's specific roll size. The printing of such photo wallpapers can only be done in one pass, as it's difficult to apply the image without noticeable seams.

This explains the high price of such coverage. For example, photo wallpapers with a ballerina measuring 2.7x2.9 m will cost around $344.

Buy photo wallpapers for a child's room

Summarizing, if your child — whether 3 or 13 years old — knows exactly what should not be drawn on the walls and likes your proposed room decoration, you can purchase expensive photo wallpapers. This is a reliable investment.

However, if you plan to renovate the child's room more often than once every ten years, it is better to save money and buy non-vinyl wallpapers on fleece instead of regular wide-format paper prints.

The key thing is to remember that you can find a quality image for photo wallpapers in any price category. If nothing catches your eye, you can always order custom-made wallpaper using any image of your choice.
