Your friends at Our Local Wallpaper Studio have collected some of the best tips for designing your new bundle of joy's nursery. While we're partial to the vibe of peel-and-stick wallpaper, there are other useful things to keep in mind:
-
Consider the theme: If you have a specific theme in mind for the nursery, such as animals or a certain color scheme, look for wallpaper that complements that theme.
-
Think about the room's lighting: If the room gets a lot of natural light, a lighter-colored wallpaper will reflect the light and brighten the space. If the room gets less natural light, a darker wallpaper will add warmth.
-
Durability: Look for wallpaper that is durable and easy to clean, as it will likely be exposed to spills, stains, and other messes. Avoid delicate or high-gloss wallpapers.
-
Choose non-toxic and eco-friendly options: Look for wallpapers that are free of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and other harmful chemicals, and made with sustainable materials.
-
Consider the size of the room: If the room is small, a busy or large-scale pattern may make the space feel smaller. If the room is large, a small or simple pattern may get lost.
-
Keep in mind the longevity: Choose a design or pattern that won't go out of style too quickly, so you won't have to change it again soon.
-
Coordination: Coordinate the wallpaper with other items in the room, such as bedding, curtains, and furniture, to create a cohesive look.
