Wallpaper for the room of a teenage boy

Wallpaper for the room of a teenage boy, like any things for him, is not at all easy to choose because of the wayward nature of a child at this age, as well as because of the frequent and abrupt change in tastes and preferences. At the same time, it is impossible to leave children's decoration in the bedroom in a situation when the son has already grown to adolescence, because he will not be comfortable in the room.

Of course, when choosing a wallpaper, it is necessary to consult with the boy himself, but you cannot completely let go of control over the situation, as well as make rash decisions.

What should be the wallpaper?

Teenage wallpapers have several criteria that make them stand out from the rest. These points must be taken into account when choosing:

Adolescence is characterized by non-standard ways of self-expression, the craving for which quickly passes. Many adults are often even ashamed of some of their teenage hobbies, which at one time were considered an integral part of their lives. Do not drive yourself into a situation when your son wants to change the interior of the room, and you feel sorry for the almost new wallpaper - in case of a lack of finances, it is better to purchase inexpensive wallpaper.

Uniqueness. Every teenager is sure that he is unusual, not like everyone else. All his behavior is aimed at expressing himself - to show how unusual he is. Your own room should fully correspond to the momentary interests of a teenager. Later, an adult guy will want wallpaper "like someone else's", but now uniqueness is much more preferable. It is often advised to choose a bright wallpaper, but in fact it is interesting only for younger teens.
Lack of taste. The concept, of course, is conditional - everyone has his own. However, adolescents differ in their own vision of everything around, their ideals often seem tasteless to their parents, as well as vice versa. If a child suddenly wants something ordinary and something that you like, do not refuse, but ask yourself if the same-year-olds will call their son too old-fashioned and boring. It might be best to hint that you're okay with daring experimentation.

If the teenager himself wants it, but you are just against it, it is better to give in at a certain moment, otherwise you can greatly ruin the relationship with your son because of a trifle.

Which is better to glue?

If we talk about varieties, you can classify wallpaper according to several criteria:

Material. Perhaps, you should not choose anything more expensive than ordinary paper or non-woven fabric. Firstly, they are inexpensive, which is very appropriate in view of the frequent changes in the boy's tastes. Secondly, it is they who offer the widest possible choice of design solutions, which will suit the tastes of the child.

Color palette. Most often, it is recommended to choose bright, cheerful colors for the bedroom, but teenagers are so unusual that they are ready to abandon any generally accepted standards. They can give preference to a strict black and white color scheme, and an emphasized gloomy atmosphere, and childishly bright multi-colored design, and quite classic pastel tones. In case of a destructive choice, you can try to defend the good old classics, but remember that it is undesirable to insist on your own too much.
Visual design. Since originality is needed, many parents are sure that photowall-paper is required in a teenager's room, but this is not entirely true. Even a completely single-color finish is acceptable, and posters and posters will play the role of decoration.

Styles

With the help of style, you can very favorably emphasize the child's hobbies, which he will undoubtedly like. This should be the starting point. The following styles that are popular with young people should be considered:

Loft. Deliberate abandonment, "industrialism" of the interior, which will appeal to lovers of computers and other equipment, and severe athletes, and even bohemians.

High tech. Emphasized manufacturability and focus on the maximum comfort of the interior to the detriment of its brightness is an ideal habitat for a computer scientist, although in recent years hi-tech has, in principle, turned into a typically masculine style.

Ethnic style. In a globalized world, it is not uncommon to meet a teenager who is fascinated by the culture of a particular country. In recent years, the enthusiasm for Japan can be called widespread; the United States and Great Britain also enjoy success among young people.

Sea style. Constantly hints at movement and distant wanderings, which is suitable for those who cannot sit still for a long time. Teenagers are rarely experienced travelers at this age, but daydreaming and making plans are much more enjoyable in a suitable setting.

Kitsch. This is the most difficult of all possible styles, as it is analogous to what is called "casual" in clothing. The point is to combine completely unexpected things, but you are unlikely to be able to do it in a way that will be appreciated by your child.

More precisely, the result can cause a certain sympathy, but you can only bring kitsch to an ideal state for yourself.

Color and design

The choice of colors has already been mentioned above - there are no specific requirements for it, adolescents are too capricious to drive themselves into some kind of framework. Another thing is that the space for choice can remain thanks to the various design options.

The simplest solution is a simple one-color wallpaper. Only at first glance they don't fit into a teenage bedroom - in fact, they belong there. The fact is that they themselves, without being flashy and individual, allow you to freely hang any posters and posters over themselves without harming the background, which nevertheless allows the durability of the repair - not the finish will change, but only the accessories on top of it, which is much cheaper and allows the interior to always be relevant.

A relatively common option is simple geometric shapes or a discreet strip. The advantages are the same as for plain wallpaper, although additional difficulties may arise here due to the fact that the color scheme with a change in accessories on top of it can contrast worse and worse with the general palette of the room.

Wallpaper, of course, in a teenage room is very appropriate. You need to choose them according to the taste of a young man - it can be both idols (football players, boxers, musicians) and urban landscapes (skyscrapers of a night city, bridges, masterpieces of world architecture).

In general, the choice of photowall-paper is limited only by the client's imagination, because they can even be made to order - with such a picture that you can only provide for a sample.

Wallpaper layout and zoning options

It will be much easier to achieve originality if you use not one type of wallpaper for decoration, but two.

In addition to a purely visual effect, there will be a direct benefit - a room divided into zones will allow you to more effectively engage in a particular activity. For the recreation area, light and soothing colors are more appropriate, and if the son goes in for sports at home, then on the contrary, bright, challenging wallpaper can be glued into the working area of his room.

There is also a practical recommendation that in places that are often touched, it is better to glue non-stained wallpaper.

You can also combine the trim in different colors to create accents. It is possible both in simple ways, such as combining monochromatic wallpapers of different colors or two different discreet patterns, and with the help of photo wallpapers. The latter can occupy both an entire wall and a relatively small part of it, acting as a kind of picture without a frame.

Wall murals help zoning, their different types can even be composed, for the recreation area choosing an unobtrusive seascape, and for the working area - a photo of a famous boxer to motivate work with a pear and a barbell, or an equally famous musician for inspirational guitar rehearsals.

How to choose?

When choosing a decoration for the walls of a teenager's room, you should definitely listen to his opinion, but you can only promote your point of view or just give him good advice if your position is reasoned enough. In the course of choosing, follow a few simple tips:

Choose monochrome options or striped solutions only if the boy's preferences are changing at a staggering speed, and he has no specific hobbies or notable achievements in any area. This will allow the owner of the room to instantly switch from one hobby to another with the help of new posters, which is especially typical for a boy of 14-15 years old, who is still very impetuous and abrupt.

Photo wallpapers, especially expensive ones, should be chosen only if the teenager has one very stable hobby - for example, a music group or a football player.

At the same time, it is advisable to take into account the likelihood of justified disappointment in an idol - the same football player can be perceived not just as a person, but as an integral part of his favorite team, then his transition to the camp of a fundamental rival can change the attitude of a young fan from adoration to hatred.

The slightly increased chances that the hobby will endure will be if the teenager is 16 years old or older.

Play up not only hobbies, but also the achievements of the boy. If he has many awards, certificates or medals, it may be worth giving preference to discreet wallpaper, the main accessory on top of which will be a kind of wall of fame for the owner of the room - both as a source of pride and as a visual motivation for the development of success.

Beautiful wallpaper in the interior

Let's devote a little attention to illustrative examples.

The first photo is good proof that brightness in the interior of a teenage bedroom is by no means necessary. Here is an illustration of sports and motivation across the entire wall, and in an unusual design - not a complete picture, but in separate stripes.
The second frame is a combination of two themes that are popular among teenagers at once - urbanism and favorite movie characters. It looks a little overwhelmed due to the large number of wallpaper, but we said that in the case of teenagers it should be so.

And here is an example without any photo wallpaper., clearly demonstrating how posters can dilute the monochromatic wall decoration and keep the interior of the room always relevant.
Finally - a little loftto show that even "unfinished renovation", if done correctly, can look attractive and highly artistic.
