Children's priorities change as they grow older. Wallpaper can be used to achieve a multifunctional partition of the child's room into various different areas. For small children and toddlers, playing and relaxing/sleeping are the main focus. A child of school age requires spaces for learning/studying, sleeping and retreating.
Playroom
In kids' rooms which are mainly meant for playing, a stimulating wallpaper can be used for all walls or just one feature wall. The base colours should be light or white so that the pattern provides a distinct contrast. Patterns can be large-scale and "loud" - if they are too small, they can feel quite overwhelming.
Child's study
When it comes to studying and learning, concentration is the most important aspect. In terms of colours and patterns, wallpaper models used in this area should neither be too stimulating nor too tiring. The best place for a feature wall is the wall behind the desk, as this is often also the area which is first visible when opening the door to the child's room. Letters and numbers, geometric shapes or stripes are ideal choices. The remaining walls can be painted with a matching colour which reflects one of the pattern colours of the wallpaper.
Bedroom
Before going to sleep, or whilst relaxing, the child's eye should be focussing on calming, imaginative patterns and motifs. Good examples are whimsical dream scenes or large-scale landscapes. The best place for the wallpaper is the wall where the bed is. In babies' rooms, it is the area the child looks at directly from its cot. This could be the wall by the baby's head or the one opposite the cot, or even the ceiling.
