5 practical tips for selecting baby room wallpaper

By integrating these tips into your room planning process, you’ll ensure the wallpaper not only looks great but also meets the functional needs of your baby’s nursery.

Tip #1: Plan your layout thoughtfully

  • Use wallpaper to define specific zones within the nursery. For example, create a playful area with vibrant prints or a calming sleep space with soft tones.

  • If opting for bold patterns or murals, limit them to a feature wall to maintain balance and avoid overwhelming the room.

Tip #2: Matching wallpaper to the child's age

  • For a baby’s room, opt for wallpaper with soft colours and simple designs. Pastel colours like blue, pink, or green provide a calm and cosy feeling. Cute motifs, such as animal images or basic shapes, help create an environment that supports the baby's visual development.

  • Selecting easy-to-clean wallpaper is essential, considering babies' messy habits. When shopping, look for quality products that are health-safe.

Tip #3: Choosing wallpaper based on room themes

  • Choose a wallpaper that complements the room’s furniture, bedding, and décor for a cohesive look.

  • For example, if you have a nature-themed nursery, consider floral, forest, or animal patterns to enhance the vibe.

Tip #4: Consider the room’s lighting

  • Natural and artificial lighting significantly impacts how wallpaper colours and patterns appear.

  • Bright rooms can handle darker or more intricate patterns, while dimly lit spaces benefit from lighter, reflective designs to make the room feel larger.

Tip #5: Incorporate personalisation

  • Custom wallpaper featuring your baby’s name, birth date, or initials adds a unique and sentimental touch.

  • Use themed wallpapers based on family heritage, favourite books, or hobbies to make the room feel special.

How does light play a significant role in a baby room?

Aside from baby room wallpaper layout, light is a crucial factor in designing a baby room, impacting the space's functionality, aesthetics, and your baby's well-being. Here's why it matters and how to make the most of lighting in your nursery:

  1. Promotes better sleep-wake cycles

  • Natural light: Exposure to daylight helps regulate your baby’s internal body clock, which is essential for establishing healthy sleep patterns. A well-lit room during the day signals to your baby that it’s time to be awake.

  • Dim light: At night, dim lighting or blackout curtains create a calming atmosphere that encourages sleep by minimising overstimulation.

  1. Enhances mood and comfort

  • Babies are sensitive to their surroundings, and lighting can influence their mood.

    • Soft, warm lighting creates a sense of safety and comfort.

    • Harsh or overly bright lighting may cause irritation or discomfort, especially for newborns whose eyes are still adjusting to the world.

  • Adjustable lighting allows you to transition between activities like feeding, playing, and sleeping.

  1. Improves visual development

  • Babies’ vision develops rapidly in the first year, and lighting can support this growth.

    • Natural daylight is ideal for stimulating their developing eyesight.

    • Diffused light helps them focus without strain, especially during tummy time or while looking at objects in the room.

  1. Highlights Room Design

  • Light enhances the colours and textures of your baby room wallpaper, furniture, and décor.

    • Soft pastel wallpapers look even more soothing under warm, natural light.

    • Patterned or textured wallpapers gain depth when illuminated strategically, adding visual interest to the space.

  1. Facilitates practical tasks for parents

  • Proper lighting makes it easier to care for your baby, especially during nighttime feedings or diaper changes.

    • Use low-intensity nightlights to create a gentle glow that helps you navigate without waking your baby fully.

    • A combination of task lighting (e.g., table lamps) and ambient lighting (e.g., ceiling fixtures) ensures functionality without overpowering the room.

Creating the perfect sanctuary for your baby

Designing a baby room is more than just selecting furniture and decor—it's about creating a safe, comforting, and inspiring space where your little one can grow and thrive. By carefully considering elements like wallpaper, lighting, and layout, you can craft a room that blends functionality with charm. Remember, the goal is to create a sanctuary that evolves with your baby, fostering joy and imagination at every stage. Whether it’s whimsical wallpaper, soothing lighting, or personalised touches, our baby wallpaper collection will equip your efforts to make this room a cherished space for years to come.
