The cot will be replaced. Storage will probably grow too, and today's play corner may become a spot for a desk. When we choose wallpaper for a child's room, we look at where the design can stay visible after the next change of furniture. You can choose something playful now while leaving room for a different layout in a few years.
Give a favourite design a wall where it can stay
An animal scene can be a lovely part of the room if your child enjoys finding characters and details. Savannah Adventure is one of our most ordered wild animal designs. Animals, hot air balloons and a softly painted landscape meet in sandy and green tones.
We would give the image an uninterrupted wall where the characters you like have room to show. Think about where a larger bed might go. If the elephant or giraffe ends up behind the next headboard, part of the design's appeal will be hidden.
Try the wall's width and height in the preview on the product page. Compare the image with both today's furniture and the layout you might need later. A low bed leaves a different area visible from a tall storage cupboard.
A nature design leaves room for new interests
If you want toys, books and pictures to change the room's character, the wallpaper can provide a more open backdrop. Meadow Grass has fine grass stems rising from the lower edge, with a more open area above. The warm beige background leaves room for different colours in the rest of the room.
Here, we would pay particular attention to furniture height. A low bookcase can leave plenty of the grass visible, while taller storage may cover the details you want to see. Choose the wall for the area that will remain above and beside the furniture.
Let your child help choose when possible. Show a few clearly different designs and talk about what they enjoy in the pictures. A current favourite animal can be just as good a reason to choose as a colour you like yourself. It helps to know what matters to each of you.
