There is nothing like designing a nursery for the arrival of a new baby to get parents excited about meeting their new bundle of joy. Wallpaper is a perfect fit for a baby's nursery and can be a welcome change from painted walls. Following a few guidelines will help you navigate the wallpaper section of your home improvement store like a pro and choose the best style and design for your nursery.
Selecting a type of wallpaper
One of the most common types of wallpaper is the self-adhesive style. It does not require any additional paste or glue to activate the adhesive, which makes it simpler to apply. Non-pasted types require the addition of paste prior to hanging. and pre-pasted types only need to have water applied prior to hanging.
If you plan to install your own wallpaper and have little prior experience, sticking with the self-adhesive is probably best. Non-pasted and pre-pasted styles are best left to a contractor who has experience with them.
Selecting a material
Wallpaper comes in several materials, including paper, acrylic vinyl, vinyl-coated, or solid vinyl. You should consider the future when selecting nursery wallpaper. Determine if you plan to change the wallpaper once your baby has outgrown the nursery or if you want a durable material that will last for years.
For instance, if you are only planning to use the nursery until your baby reaches the toddler years and can move into another bedroom, paper or acrylic vinyl may be fine. However, if you plan to convert the nursery into a child's bedroom in the future, you should purchase a solid vinyl style that is durable and washable.
Selecting colors and patterns
Choosing colors and patterns is the fun part. However, it is important when choosing bold prints or bright colors not to overwhelm the room. Prints with big designs or bold colors should be used for an accent wall rather than the entire room.
Striking the right balance is the key. Soft colors and smaller prints are a soothing addition to a nursery. However, you should also use bold prints and colors to stimulate your baby's senses.
Choosing wallpaper over paint for your nursery's walls is a wise decision. With all the fun and cute patterns available, you are sure to find a wallpaper pattern that matches your nursery theme. In fact, the only problem you may have is falling in love with several patterns and having to choose only one.
