One of the great pleasures of decorating comes when it’s time to put together the baby’s room. In anticipation of this new arrival, we can delve into our decorator’s toolbox and put together the perfect room for that perfect little bundle of joy to soon arrive. You could paint the walls, of course. But that seems a bit simple for the new digs of such an important little member of the family. When it comes to the nursery, wallpaper is the way to go.
The variety of wallpaper available today allows your imagination to run wild. She can decorate with the traditional ornaments of childhood, in blues for boys and pinks for girls, or she can choose a more abstract and neutral pattern, like a floral or damask. You may decide to start introducing the newborn to pop culture by selecting wallpaper themes from popular children’s movies. Or you can choose another animated path by selecting a pattern that shows puppies, insects, or dinosaurs.
Selecting wallpaper for the children’s room should be fun. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the options, take a step back from the sample books or web pages and instead of looking at what’s available, imagine what you’d like if you could select anything. This allows you to focus on your own tastes and preferences, rather than being swayed by a particular catalogue, designer or brand. And since there are so many options today, there’s a good chance that anything you come up with in your imagination is available in the real world.
Keep in mind that if you are decorating before the child arrives, you are designing with your own personal taste. When the little one decides in a few years what he thinks is the appropriate style for the room, he may be redecorating everything. With today’s wallpaper, this is not a problem. The costs are relatively low and the wallpaper can be easily removed without damaging the wall surface. Just make sure you follow the instructions when applying the wallpaper. This will ensure easy removal in the future if the need arises. If, on the other hand, you have a quiet child who falls in love with the style you selected, rest easy knowing that the wallpaper will last up to 25 years, long enough for the first grandchildren to enjoy. also!
