There can be no trifles in raising a child. Everything is important: what books he reads, who he communicates with, what he is interested in and, of course, what room he lives in. If the renovation in the nursery is made in accordance with his interests, then he will be comfortable in it and, at least, the color of the walls will not irritate him. When you choose wallpaper for a teenager's room, try to find a compromise: listen to his opinion and do not ignore the advice of experts.
What you need to know about decorating a teenager's bedroom?
Wallpaper in a children's room for boys and girls should preferably be:
- natural;
- washable;
- not too expensive.
Of course, we are not talking about saving money on children, but you need to understand that your child’s preferences may change within a couple of months after the renovation is completed, so wallpaper for a teenager should be from the middle price category. Be prepared that you will have to remove this beautiful wallpaper before it fades.
In a room for a child under 14 years old, it is better to put up wallpaper from which watercolor paint, plasticine, and hand marks can be easily washed off. If you have a boy, then it is better not to buy white wallpaper - they will quickly get dirty.
The main thing is that the wallpaper “breathes” and does not emit harmful substances, because the child spends a lot of time in the room, and none of the parents would want him to inhale harmful fumes or smell mold.
Today, stores offer different types of wallpaper. The safest of them are paper ones, but they quickly fade and become unusable. More durable - non-woven wallpaper. They also contain natural fibers, which makes them harmless. Also, in a nursery, one of the walls is often covered with photo wallpaper, which is not afraid of moisture and does not lose color over time.
The child can choose absolutely any drawing. Photo wallpapers are often made to order, so if you don’t find wallpaper with a specific character or image in the catalog, it can always be made additionally.
Offer to choose wallpaper for your child’s nursery himself. Let them be too bright, let them have computer game characters on them, or the color combinations seem unacceptable to you. Try not to criticize your son or daughter, but give him the opportunity to make an adult decision for the first time in his life.
Common Plots
A room with photo wallpapers of a night city will be perceived differently depending on the plot that is depicted on them. Therefore, it is very important to understand which compositions are considered the most popular at present:
- most often there are photo wallpapers that depict megacities with wide streets illuminated by bright lanterns and neon store signs;
- if you want to highlight the beauty of a particular city at night, you can look for photo wallpapers that depict architectural structures and famous cultural monuments illuminated at night;
- for lovers of drive, energy and speed who maintain an active lifestyle, photo wallpapers with night highways or roads and luxury cars are suitable;
- A night city is not necessarily a large metropolis. You may want to choose a more relaxing composition: then you can look for wallpapers with beautiful evening sunsets in small towns;
- Another interesting composition is the famous bridges illuminated by night lanterns.
For a more successful presentation of the picture, select a suitable texture (most often “linen” or “canvas” is used), and also think about the method of image. You can choose panoramic wallpaper, perspective wallpaper or even monochrome black and white images.
When arranging a bedroom, kitchen, living room or other room, it is important to remember that the first impression on your guests will be made by those details that initially catch the eye.
Photo wallpapers depicting a night city can be an excellent alternative to any other design ideas that require a significant amount of time and costs for development and implementation. So why sacrifice time and money if original photo wallpapers can transform your interior today?
Don’t be afraid to bring new ideas into reality - and quickly appreciate how the city at night will look in your home.
Color recommendations
Regardless of gender, wallpaper for a teenager’s bedroom should not be too bright. The color of the walls should have a calming effect on him and not cause aggression. If a teenager still categorically demands bright wallpaper for the walls, you can try to negotiate. For example, you can agree that only one wall will be covered with such wallpaper, but you can try combined wallpaper - the bottom of the walls is bright, and the top is a calm shade.
When we combine several colors in the interior, we can zone even the smallest room. For example, cover the wall where the bed is with wallpaper in deep blue or green colors - this color scheme will soothe the child and help him fall asleep quickly. For the area where there is a table or sports corner, you can choose a brighter wallpaper color:
- yellow;
- orange;
- herbal;
- blue;
- red.
Before buying this or that wallpaper for a teenager’s room, ask how colors affect the child’s psyche. The same red causes aggression. And if your boy likes to play and fight with the enemy in computer games, then you should not paint the walls in his room red.
In the interior of a children's room, it is very important to find a balance between bright and calm tones. If the color of the wallpaper for a teenager’s room is very bright, then the furniture should be pastel colors or gray, beige, or cream. You also need to be very careful when choosing wallpaper designs: they should not be too colorful. In the interior, including a children's room, it is allowed to decorate only one wall with non-uniform wallpaper.
You also need to be careful when choosing dark wallpaper for a teenager’s room. A large amount of black, gray, brown colors will “put pressure” on the child and provoke the appearance of inexplicable sadness and melancholy. If your child often mopes for no reason, pay attention to the wallpaper in his room. If the interior is gloomy, then you urgently need to redo it.
In a small nursery, it is generally contraindicated to glue dark wallpaper. The already small space will become even smaller: the ceiling will drop and the walls will move. Light wallpaper, on the contrary, will make the room visually more spacious. So, for a 16-year-old boy, you can choose a calm, light color scheme: gray-blue or gray-yellow.

Wallpaper design
As mentioned above, when choosing wallpaper with patterns you need to know when to stop. To decorate a teenager's room, wallpaper can be as follows:
- plain;
- striped;
- with a geometric pattern.
If you are not ready to do frequent renovations in a teenager’s room, it is recommended to opt for plain wallpaper in neutral shades. He won’t get bored with them as quickly as wallpaper with pictures. If you want to decorate the interior, you can stick images of your favorite cartoon and movie characters or athletes on them. In a girl's room, stickers of butterflies and flowers decorated with sparkles will look good on the wall. White walls are ideal for this decoration. Neutral wallpaper goes well with bright carpeting in the interior.
Modern designers often opt for striped wallpaper. They look very elegant and stylish. For example, wallpaper for a teenage boy can have three stripes: black, white and gray. In a room for children of different sexes, wallpaper in neutral shades is suitable: olive-yellow, green-blue, beige-white. And if you are not ready to cover a room for teenagers with plain bright wallpaper, find striped ones in which one of the stripes will be that color. Then the interior will not be so aggressive, and the children will be satisfied that their parents listened to their opinion and fulfilled the request.
If you want to make your interior unusual and don’t know what wallpaper to choose, you can opt for geometric patterns and prints. Wallpaper with geometric shapes is ideal for a boy. He will probably like bright diamonds, squares and rectangles applied to a neutral background.
When choosing wallpaper for a teenage girl, you can choose a floral print. These can be small roses, cornflowers and daisies, on an olive or blue background. Flowers always look great in bedroom interior design. And even after a year or two, these wallpapers will not lose their relevance, because girls love flowers at any age.
How to transform your interior with night city photo wallpaper?
When you want peace after a hard day at work, little in the interior can really please you, especially if during the decorating process you used bright colors that put pressure on your eyesight.
In such cases, the ideal solution for any room would be a night city photo wallpaper.
Such images will not only emphasize the sophistication of the chosen style, but will also promote rest and relaxation. And due to the amazingly beautiful drawings, you will provide an indescribable atmosphere, so your room will not be compared with any other.

The popularity of using photo wallpapers of the night city in the interior is due to another important fact: such photo wallpapers are able to convey the beauty of night life, and therefore are very often used in luxury apartments.
If you want the design of your room to match such interiors, the image of a night city will be the best solution for you and your family.
Wallpaper in a girl's room
Some people mistakenly believe that a room for a teenage girl should be decorated in pink. In fact, a large amount of this color begins to irritate over time. If you have already made a room for a newborn in bright pink colors, be prepared for the fact that in the girl’s room you will already have to change the color scheme.
It is recommended to use light shades when decorating a room. It can be olive, beige, creamy, sand, blue. Pink can also be present in the interior, but in small quantities.
The choice of wallpaper color and design depends on your daughter's temperament. If she is a dreamy and romantic person, one of the walls or some part of it can be covered with pink wallpaper. They will go well with sky blue wallpaper.
If your child is energetic and active, then the color of the wallpaper may be brighter. In such an interior there is a place for orange and yellow colors. If a girl loves creativity: she draws, embroiders or writes poetry, the wallpaper can be completely or partially gold. It is this color that promotes creativity and inspires.
The main thing is not to forget a simple rule: the older your child, the less bright the wallpaper should be. If she is 15-16 years old, then you should not make the walls bright yellow, orange or green.
To decorate a girl's room, you can use wallpaper with a geometric print.
Stripes will fit into any interior, but with large patterns everything is not so simple. They will only look good in spacious nurseries, and it’s better to immediately abandon the idea of wallpapering a small nursery with large butterflies or flowers.
Wallpaper in a boy's room
Boys tend to be more active, so the color of the wallpaper should calm them down a little. To decorate a boy's nursery, it is better to use shades of blue, gray and green, but to prevent the interior of the room from being boring and dull, there must be bright accents. For a boy's room, orange, burgundy, yellow, and grass colors are suitable.
To create a brutal interior, you should play with textures. So, plain wallpaper can be combined with brick, metal, or gray stone wallpaper. In a boy's room, be sure to make the wall a neutral color. A child can glue posters of their favorite sports team or images of modern racing cars onto it. Photo wallpapers depicting a city or graffiti, also with abstraction, will look good in a boy’s room.
Nuances of choice
To take into account the interests of a teenager, it is best to choose wallpaper with him in mind. This way you can choose wallpaper that combines quality and appearance. What other nuances should be taken into account?
- Do not choose flashy or flashy colors, even if your child insists on this option. Convince him that after a while, bright walls will begin to irritate him. Saturated tones of decoration are also not welcome in children's rooms.
- You should not give preference to photo wallpapers with images covering the entire wall: there is no place for advertising banners here.
- If you don’t want mold to appear in the room over time, purchase wallpaper and glue that contain special antiseptic additives.
Bedroom for children of different sexes
A difficult task faces parents whose son and daughter live in the same room. They need to create an interior in which children will be equally comfortable. It is better to immediately abandon the idea of delimiting space using wallpaper of different colors.
To prevent children from quarreling, invite them to choose a neutral wallpaper color: beige, olive, sand. But furniture, textiles and accessories can be selected individually for each person. For example, a girl should have a bedspread and pillows in pink and purple colors on her bed, and a boy should have blue and green ones.
It is better not to decorate a room for children of different sexes with wallpaper with large designs. An ornament that a teenage boy likes will soon begin to irritate a girl and vice versa. In the room, each of the children should be comfortable doing homework, playing, doing creative work and sleeping.
Choosing the right wallpaper for a child’s room is as important as buying a child a good table, a modern computer or a bed with orthopedic mattresses, but if the last word in the purchase of furniture and equipment should remain with the parents, then the child can decide what kind of wallpaper he wants to live in the room with myself. Don't be afraid to experiment with nursery decor. The child will grow, his interests and preferences will change, and in a couple of years he will want the children's room to have a completely different interior.
Multifunctional teenage – zoning
You can make a teenager’s room with your own hands, and it won’t be at all difficult if you listen to the child’s wishes and take into account his hobbies. If the room is large enough, it is better to make the “correct” zoning in it so that the child can comfortably do any business in his own “corner”.
Sleep and rest area
It is important to have quality sleep. After all, this is the main guarantee of health! If there is not enough space to put a bed, choose a good sofa with an orthopedic mattress. It is important to place it in such a way that the sun does not shine in your eyes. And you should put a night light at the head of the bed.
Study and hobby area
A table is required where the child can pursue his hobby and do his homework. The lighting in this area should be bright, but not harsh!
