A nursery for a young lady should match the age and taste of the baby. But besides these obvious criteria, when arranging a girl's bedroom, there are many other factors to consider. If we talk about finishing materials, then wallpaper will be the best option for the walls. How to choose the right wallpaper for a girl's room, read on.
Kinds
Modern wallpapers are presented on the market in a huge assortment: the color, texture and materials used in their production are very diverse. The last point is the most important when choosing a wall covering for a children's room for girls. Most often, parents choose one of the popular, generally accepted materials.
Paper
This type of wallpaper belongs to the cheapest. Modern paper wallpapers are made according to advanced innovative technologies, and yet they are the owners of the most affordable prices on the market today. On the one hand, it is good if an economical renovation is planned.
On the other hand, before gluing such wallpaper, you need to make sure that the surface of the walls is perfectly smooth and free from flaws. Otherwise, it will have to be leveled, and this requires additional costs and time.
Another drawback is the low service life of paper wallpaper: they are destructively affected by temperature drops and high humidity. Under the influence of such factors, paper wallpapers will peel off, get dirty and lose their aesthetic qualities.
Non-woven
This is a more modern wallpaper, suitable both for independent use and for gluing in order to further paint the walls. An important advantage of such finishing materials in favor of choosing for a nursery is their environmentally friendly and safe base for young organisms.
Non-woven is a special type of cellulose that is resistant to many external factors. If repairs are planned for a long time, then non-woven wallpaper is ideal.
Glass cloth
The addition of fiberglass to the structure of the wallpaper allows you to obtain an even more durable finishing material. Such wallpapers are not only more durable than the varieties described above, but also even more useful and even irreplaceable for creating a room that is safe for children's health.
The main advantage of such wallpapers is the fact that their composition allows you to completely eliminate the appearance of mold on the walls under the wallpaper, as well as the reproduction of harmful microorganisms there. A clear disadvantage is the rather high price.
Cork
Perhaps this is the best material for creating the most natural and environmentally friendly living room environment. Cork wallpapers are colorful natural colors, a high level of sound insulation and excellent performance.
Bamboo
In terms of its positive characteristics, this material is similar to the previous one, but it wins over it in terms of the number of possible color solutions and loses in terms of noise insulation. Bamboo is durable and very beautiful material - a great option for a girl's room.
Wallpaper
This type of wall decoration is very popular with girls, because it is a great opportunity to create an individual, special design. In addition to the fact that a young lady can choose any drawing she likes from a rich assortment of ready-made options, modern manufacturers offer a service that is gaining momentum in popularity: printing an individual image to order.
A little more useful information on choosing the type of wallpaper is in the video.
Styles
Among the many directions in interior design, there are several that are most suitable for decorating a girl's children's room. Some of them are very versatile, some are suitable for a certain age.
Classic
This is one of those options that will create a wonderful atmosphere in a girl's room of any age.
Wallpapers in this style belong to the pastel range, they cannot be monochromatic - a clear symmetrical pattern is characteristic, often these are some kind of geometric patterns.
The classic style in the interior is characterized by a certain pomp: four-poster beds, carved furniture, luxurious textiles. Therefore, the wallpaper can also have patterns in the Empire or Baroque style - all sorts of curls and monograms.
Modern
This is a very controversial style, and even in different countries it is interpreted in their own way. In ours, the Art Nouveau interior is very similar to the classic one, but has its own distinct features and differences. Wallpapers in this style can be either plain or with a floral print. There are also other patterns, but much less often. In general, the style is characterized by muted tones of walls and basic decor elements; only a few pieces of furniture can have deep and rich colors in such an interior.
Nautical
The name of the style speaks for itself: in such a space, the mood is created inherent in travelers and dreamers of distant countries.
This style does not have clear laws, it is created on a subjective basis: so that there is a feeling of being on a ship, boat, on the open sea, on an island.
Most often, obvious colors are used to create it: all shades of blue and blue, brown, red, white. Wallpaper in a nautical-style room can be monochromatic, or it can have a thematic pattern: stripes, anchors, steering wheels, sea waves, and the like.
English
This style reflects the main stereotype about the British - pretentiousness. In such an interior, one can trace the dedication to the traditions for which the inhabitants of the United Kingdom are famous. But this does not mean that this style has no place in a little girl's room.
The characteristic features of this trend in interior design are very suitable for the young mistress of the bedroom. Among them is the decor of the space with the help of textiles. English-style rooms always have a lot of pillows, curtains and all kinds of bedspreads play a big role.
Wallpaper can be plain, matching or contrasting with the range of textiles. The main color scheme of such a room is pastel or soft warm shades, if the pillows and curtains do not have a bright pattern, it is appropriate on the wallpaper.
Provence
A romantic style for dreamy girls. In this direction, one of the main features can be called airiness, lightness, in such a room it should be very light. And if the architectural features of the room do not provide enough natural light, the wallpaper should help brighten the room. Therefore, a white coating or a pale pastel color scheme is often used.
In this style, more than in any other, there is room for flowers, for "girly" tones - pink, lilac, and in the Provencal style ruffles, frills and cute patterns are appropriate. This is the most suitable style for creating the interior of a little princess.
Scandinavian
Another direction associated with the national characteristics of the people who gave him the name.
The Scandinavian-style room is very restrained, minimalism is inherent in it. Such a room breathes with the coolness of the Scandinavian countries, but it is still very cozy in it.
Wallpaper here should be monochromatic, the choice of colors is not rich: white, milky, light gray shades, pale blue, cream, light beige.
High tech
An infrequent choice for a girl's room. He is preferred by young natures, passionate about high technologies and dreaming of becoming great scientists, and, possibly, astronauts. This is not an option for the little ones, but more for teenagers.
Colors: gray or even metallic, all deep saturated shades of the main range: blue, yellow, green. Here more often than in other styles there are horizontal stripes, a combination of two or three different wall coverings in one room. In other words, in such an interior, two types of wallpaper are most often used: they contrast in color, or some are monochromatic, the second have a pattern.
Colour
The palette of the children's room is filled not only with those colors that her mistress loves, but also those that are safe or even indicated for the child's mental health. The options most popular with parents are not random.
Pink
In addition to being universally girly, this color has a ton of reasons to be in a nursery.
Psychologists have long established that calm shades of pink promote healthy sleep, stimulate a sense of optimism in a child, drive away all anxieties and relax a child, give him a sense of security.
However, you need to know that the pink room is more suitable for girls from the moment of birth until the end of elementary school. Then this gamut is able to unnecessarily relax the inhabitant of the room and not allow her to focus on difficult school lessons, and in adolescence, the girl may completely begin to completely deny this color.
Lilac
Wallpapers of this color can be called one of the most versatile. They are appropriate and loved by girls at any age. This color can be called at the same time romantic, and mysterious, and magical. It is this effect of mystery that is shown to creative individuals.
Advice! To create an emotionally balanced interior, use elements of milky and beige tones in a girl's room with lilac wallpaper. They can be expressed in textiles or furniture. This contrasting combination will set the right mood for the nursery space.
Yellow
Yellow wallpaper is universal not only for all ages, but also for children of both sexes. Of course, it is permissible to use pastel colors or deep saturated, but muted. Among the advantages of this color, psychologists especially highlight its effect on the mental abilities of a growing organism: yellow stimulates mental activity.
Green
Wallpapers in the nursery are welcome in many shades of green: emerald, olive, mint, kiwi and others. It is important that only one of them is selected. Emerald or mint is very suitable for the girl. They have a calming, relaxing effect and have a good effect on the child's eyesight. Green wallpaper gives children of all ages a feeling of warmth, summer, comfort and security.
Blue
Decorating the walls in this color scheme gives the inhabitants of the room a feeling of freshness, airiness and lightness. The blue color contributes to the even emotional background of the child, this version of the wallpaper is good for both the girl and the boy, although more often parents choose the second option. If the predominant color in the nursery is blue, the child is guaranteed a healthy sleep, and no mood swings will threaten him.
An important component of the children's interior, and especially in the girl's room, is original patterns, interesting solutions that emphasize the individuality of the space.
Abstract geometric shapes
Polka dots, rhombuses, cells, stripes - all of this is often found in nurseries. Such wallpapers are chosen for middle-aged children - not too small, but not teenagers either. Although, in the case of a cage and a strip, this rule does not work - such patterns are considered universal for any age.
Monograms and curls
If we are talking about the interior of Provence, the classics or about the English style, then just such a print is possible on the wallpaper in the bedroom for a girl.
With hearts
Younger people choose this option. But if the choice of the little lady fell on such wallpapers, it is worth thinking about before covering the entire surface of the walls in the room with them. This pattern can very quickly become boring and bored, so it makes sense to try to decorate only a fragment of the wall with wallpaper in a heart, and make most of it neutral.
With birds
But such a pattern cannot be intrusive. On the contrary, motives with the participation of representatives of the feathered world act very favorably on children. Such an interior stimulates creativity, dreaminess, and a sense of calmness in the girl.
With plants
An even more peaceful and natural interior will turn out if you cover the walls with wallpaper with images of plants: it can be not only flowers, but also herbs, shrubs, trees. There are options where, together with the flora, the images contain all the same birds or cute animals - seals, foxes and others.
Combined options
In modern interiors, the neighborhood of plain wallpaper with models decorated with a special print is increasingly common. This is a very creative approach. Here you can use the division of the wall horizontally, when some wallpaper goes from the floor to the middle, and others from the middle to the ceiling. Often a special border connects them at the junction.
Another option is to alternate the wallpaper with stripes. This can be done if the selected wallpaper is close in color, does not contrast much, and the patterns are not too frequent and catchy. A common technique for combining wallpaper is to have the main background of the walls, on which the second wallpaper was present in one or more places.
We take into account the age
With a room for a newborn baby, everything is very clear: the baby needs an environment favorable for constant sleep. At 2-3 years old, when the activity of the baby increases, such a calming atmosphere is still relevant. And at the age of 4-5 years, a calm and minimalistic interior for a girl is good for everyone. True, by the last stage, the features and hobbies of the child are already outlined, which can be taken into account in the further reorganization of her room.
6-9 years old
As mentioned above, pink wallpaper is acceptable at this age. It can be a plain color or a cover with an original print. If a girl wants a wallpaper, it is better to choose an image that will not lose its relevance in a year or two.
10-12 years old
At this age, the girl needs to concentrate a little more on her studies, so the design of the walls should create an environment in her room that is more conducive to classes than to games. For example, a yellow wallpaper will set the right mood.
13-14 years old
In the period when the changes associated with the transitional age finally "cover" the young person, she needs a more "adult" interior. But you should still adhere to the permitted colors. Solid wallpapers and techniques from the classic or modern style (modern) will help to create a more rigorous design.
Tips for choosing
The quality of modern wallpaper makes it a versatile material for both wall coverings and ceilings. The optimal solution would be to choose the same type of material for all surfaces. The only exception is, perhaps, the case with bamboo or cork wallpaper - they are not very appropriate on the ceiling.
How to calculate the number of rolls?
It is necessary to take into account the area of the room, the height of the ceiling and the width of the roll, as well as the number of wallpaper in meters. When all of these numbers are known, a few calculations are required.
- Divide the perimeter of the room (the sum of the lengths of all walls) by the width of the roll. This will allow you to calculate how many strips of wallpaper are needed to decorate the nursery.
- Divide the roll length by the ceiling height. This will tell you how many panels are in one roll.
- Divide the number of panels required to decorate the entire room by the number of full stripes obtained from one roll. This will figure out how many rolls of wallpaper you need.
