Two or more colors can be used, as well as combine ordinary and photo wallpapers. Another way means junction of two types of canvases along a horizontal line that runs along the wall.

A teenager's room is the embodiment of the inner world, decoration and decorative details, without which no teenager's room can do, show the interests, hobbies and character of the child. Given that teenagers are not particularly thrifty, a good solution would be to use anti-vandal types of wallpaper.
The choice of finishing for the walls of the room of a grown-up child is quite a crucial moment, since it is one of the important elements of interior design in which a teenager should feel as comfortable as possible. Therefore, dwelling on this or that material, it is necessary to take into account many diverse criteria, each of which is important in its own way.
The traditional decoration of the walls of the apartment rooms is wallpaper, but if earlier it was difficult to find the right option, today specialized stores offer a wide range of products that can satisfy the most sophisticated taste. Wallpaper in a girl's teenager's room, if considered only from the point of view of design, is quite difficult to choose without the participation of the "hostess", since at this age the child develops his own taste, which often does not coincide with the preferences of the "ancestors". This means that it is necessary that the girl also take part in the development of the project, or at least set the direction in the design theme. But in terms of the performance of the material, all responsibility already lies with adults.
Basic criteria for choosing wallpaper
There are not so many fundamental criteria for choosing this finishing material, so they can be easily remembered. So, the conditions that must be met when purchasing wallpaper include the following:
- Environmental safety is a prerequisite for wall decoration, both for children's and teenage rooms. Wallpapers must be vapor-permeable, that is, breathable, do not emit any substances harmful to the human body and do not attract dust. Here, compromises in favor of decorativeness are unacceptable - safety is always in the foreground.
- The design of the wallpaper should correspond to the chosen style of the room - this includes the color and ornamental solution.
- When carrying out repairs on your own, it is advisable to take into account the complexity of gluing the selected wallpaper - this is the need to adjust the pattern, the thickness of the canvases and their method, the size of the rolls, and possible technological difficulties characteristic of individual types.
Modern types of wallpaper
Modern wallpapers are made from various materials - paper, non-woven, vinyl, fiberglass, textiles, cork, bamboo and some others.
In addition, the canvases differ from each other in the number and material of the layers, surface texture, moisture resistance, strength, abrasion resistance and a number of other features.
First, consider the wallpaper according to the material of manufacture - we will immediately get a fairly clear idea of which ones are optimal for a teenage room. Well, in the course of the presentation, it will be possible to simultaneously consider finishing options.
The article is deliberately left out of consideration - they are generally not a good solution for any living room. Well, for decorating a room for a child or teenager - there can even be no question, despite, perhaps, a very suitable design.
The issues of the correct selection of wallpaper for decorative qualities will also be given enough attention - in the appropriate section of the article.
Prices for wallpaper with a pattern
patterned wallpaper
paper wallpaper
It is difficult to suspect paper wallpapers of insufficient environmental friendliness, since the raw materials for them are natural cellulose fibers. This type of material has been used in decoration for a very long time, so it can be called traditional.
Modern paper wallpapers are produced using innovative technologies, so they are more practical and stronger than their predecessors. And due to the fact that paper canvases have an affordable price with high quality, are presented in a very wide variety of patterns and colors, they still do not lose popularity.
If it is planned to choose this particular material for decorating the room, then you will have to carefully before gluing, otherwise the finish will look sloppy.
The negative qualities of such a finish include instability to mechanical stress, and for very inexpensive options - to ultraviolet rays, that is, they quickly lose their original color.
Single-layer paper wallpapers (simplex) are glued rather difficult, since they are quickly impregnated with an adhesive composition and can “creep”. Two-layer wallpaper (duplex) - more dense and durable, so it is easier to glue them.
High-quality modern paper wallpapers look great on flat walls, especially since their ornamental and color range is quite large. In addition to traditional ones, there are also paper wallpapers, which can have different quality, and, accordingly, the price.
In order to make sure that paper canvases look great on the wall and are able to transform the room of a growing child beyond recognition, you can consider examples of finished interiors.
In the design of this room for the girl, two types of wallpaper were used - paper, having a decorative pattern, and fiberglass or non-woven, intended for coloring. In this interior, the upper part of one of the walls is painted in a color that, in different shades from green to light green, is used to decorate the wallpaper, so the composition looks like one whole. The chosen color has a good effect on vision and uplifting. In addition to different types of wallpaper, for such decoration, you can use the so-called companion wallpapers, which are sold in the kit.
The presented version of paper wallpaper gives the teenager the opportunity to take care of the design of his "possession", filling in the numerous frames depicted on the canvases with his own drawings or photographs of friends.
Since the wallpaper is paper, you can draw directly on their surface, or you can fix ready-made drawings or photographs in the drawn frames. In addition, squares and rectangles can be easily painted in different colors to your taste. Thus, a teenage girl with a creative nature will receive a double gift in the form of an updated room and a large album, which will be located on one of the walls or on all four.
Another advantage of these wallpapers is that they will suit any style of interior - both modern and traditional.
Paper wallpapers are also good because their low price will not become an obstacle to updating the interior, say, in two or three years. Teenagers are developing rapidly, their tastes, interests and passions may well change, and wallpapers that are relevant at the age of 12 will become ridiculous for a 15-year-old girl. You need to be prepared for this...
Non-woven wallpaper
Interlining is the same cellulose, but it has undergone a different processing cycle. Thus, such wallpaper is also a natural material, and they can rightly be called environmentally friendly.
Non-woven wallpapers have good performance and aesthetic characteristics, their surface is warm and soft, and due to the elasticity of the fabric, they are able to stretch. Therefore, when cracks appear on the wall, they will not affect the surface of the finish in any way.
Such canvases are very easy to glue to the walls, and for this, glue is applied only to the wall, which greatly simplifies the process.
Wallpaper can have a smooth or embossed decorative top layer (made of foamed non-woven fabric), be single-layer or double-layer. The advantages of this finishing material include the following:
- The high vapor permeability of the material allows the finished walls to "breathe", which means that they will not create a favorable environment for the accumulation of dampness and mold formation.
- Since wallpaper is an environmentally friendly material, it is great for decorating a child's room.
- The moisture resistance of the cladding allows for regular wet cleaning.
- Non-woven wallpapers are produced in various decorative versions, including in the form of photo wallpapers and canvases intended for painting.
- Thanks to the decorative foam layer on some types, the canvases perfectly hide small flaws on the wall surface.
The sticker of non-woven fabrics is always made end-to-end, and it is quite simple to do this, since the material is elastic, and it will not be difficult to precisely match the edges of adjacent sheets. If desired, when you get tired of the original color of the finish, the walls can be pasted over, and more than once.
Prices for non-woven wallpaper
non-woven wallpaper
In this version, two colors of wallpaper are used to decorate the room, which are in perfect harmony with each other without overloading the interior. The floral patterned headboard acts as a carpet, and their coloring is a great backdrop for the rest of the room's accessories. The blue color of the wall visually expands the space, adding “air” to the room.
When choosing an option with different colors of wallpaper, it is very important to choose the right shades that harmonize with each other. Another point to consider is that the wall decoration should organically fit into the overall style chosen for decorating the room.
In this version, non-woven photo wallpapers are used. Moreover, it should be noted that the design theme shown is perfect for a room, both for a girl and for a boy. Presumably, this interior was conceived as a game of day and night, that is, one wall is decorated with photo wallpapers depicting a cosmic landscape associated with the night sky, while the other, with a window located on it, is white, personifying daylight.
If the room will be designed for a boy, then in this case it is quite possible to change the color of the walls of the bed, bedside table and chair. Moreover, the right shade of furniture accessories will enrich the overall color scheme of the interior. A juicy deep red or rich dark blue is perfect here as an accent, which will harmonize wonderfully with the shades of the photo wallpaper.
Glass cloth wallpaper
Fiberglass wallpapers are made from refined mineral components by melting and stretching the fibers, from which a canvas with a certain texture is then formed - “chessboard”, “matting”, “herringbone”, “diamonds”, “parquet” and others. Further, these canvases are impregnated with modified starch, which gives them density and the necessary rigidity.
Very often they are produced in pure white and are intended for coloring, or with color drawings applied to them.
Thanks to the components used to make fiberglass, wallpaper is an environmentally friendly finishing option, so it is well suited for wall cladding in any living space.
Such wallpapers are often used in combined finishes, sticking them on one of the walls of the room, which will subsequently be painted in one or more shades.
The advantages of this material include the following:
- The material is resistant to mechanical stress, as it has good strength - it is difficult to tear or scratch the wallpaper.
- The high vapor permeability of the sheets does not contribute to creating an environment favorable for the formation of fungus and mold.
- Finished walls easily tolerate wet cleaning, as fiberglass wallpaper is moisture resistant.
- Fiberglass does not accumulate static electricity, so it does not attract dust to its surface.
- The incombustibility of the material makes it suitable for use in rooms where fire escape routes are located - an entrance hall, a loggia or a balcony. This quality will not hurt for the children's room.
- Sticking such wallpaper is a fairly simple task, since the canvases fit perfectly on any surface, provided that high-quality glue is used.
- The inherent potential of the material allows the use of the finishing coating for about 30 years. When changing the interior design, the finish can be repainted more than once in the desired color.
The main disadvantage of fiberglass is its high cost. However, if the duration of operation and the opportunity to repeatedly change the appearance of the room, then the price will no longer seem excessively high.
Glass wall prices
glass wall paper
In the interior of the room shown in the illustration, two different wallpaper models were used - having a color geometric pattern plus a glass cloth painted in three different colors. The entire color scheme of the room is done in pastel colors, and thanks to this, the interior creates a calm, balanced mood, which is very important for a teenage girl in this transitional period.
A wall decorated with wallpaper with a geometric pattern seems to limit the space, giving the room a cosiness, while a surface painted in three different colors, on the contrary, visually increases the width of the room. Such color effects are often used by designers in rooms that require spatial adjustment. For example, in narrow and long rooms with a small area, with too high or low ceilings, etc.
In this case, a simple solution was used without complex design elements, so there will be no need to match different shades of paint to each other, being afraid to break the harmony. The walls are covered with glass cloth wallpaper and painted in a soothing milk chocolate color. In this version of the interior, they only serve as a background for furniture accessories that have bright colors.
The room is not cluttered with unnecessary elements, it provides only the necessary things, so it looks neat and quite strict. However, the monophonic version of the wallpaper allows the teenager to do their design himself, using imagination. Paintings or drawings can be fixed on the surfaces, which will determine the interior style.
Cork wallpaper
An excellent material for decorating a teenager's room will be cork wallpaper, which has numerous advantages, including a very aesthetic appearance. Cloths can have a different structural structure, as it is made from crumbs of different sizes or from veneer with a beautiful section. Such wallpapers are produced in numerous natural shades and quite often decorated with splashes of different colors.
In addition, the cork has all the qualities necessary for decorating a children's room:
- One of its main advantages can be called the ecological cleanliness of the finish.
- The material has sufficiently high heat and sound insulation parameters. The latter will be especially useful for those who like to listen to loud music, which many people sin in adolescence.
- Ease of installation of the material, due to the low weight of the canvases.
- The cork coating does not fade, retaining its color throughout the entire period of operation, as it is completely inert to ultraviolet rays.
- Cork has antibacterial properties, so it is not a favorable environment for the formation of mold. In addition, it does not absorb foreign odors.
Cork wallpaper, due to its specific qualities and natural ocher shades, can create a special cosiness and warmth in the room. Canvases are produced equipped with an adhesive layer covered with a protective film, which is removed before mounting them on the wall - this wallpaper option is good to use if you plan to create an applique pattern from material of different shades.
If you want to create high-quality sound insulation in the room, it is recommended to stick the cork finish not only on the walls, but also to cover the floors with this material, as well as to cover the surface of the ceiling - for this, appropriate coatings are produced.
bamboo wallpaper
Another option that is ideal for children's rooms is bamboo. Bamboo wallpapers are made from the outer layer of plant stems that have undergone special processing.
From this material, narrow strips with a width of 3 to 20 mm are cut, from which the webs are assembled. They can consist of one layer (like a mat) or two - decorative and a substrate made of fabric or paper.
Bamboo wallpapers can have a natural color or they can be dyed in other natural shades. Due to its environmental qualities, bamboo is able to create an environment favorable for the physical and psychological health of a person in a room.
Wall cladding becomes resistant to any mechanical stress, as well as to the negative effects of moisture and ultraviolet radiation. Wall-paper differs in durability, and over time does not lose the initial esthetic qualities. In addition, the material retains heat well in the room, and is even capable of accumulating it in its structure, and when the temperature drops, it can be released into the space of the room.
Wall-paper gives in to both damp, and dry cleaning which is carried out with use of the vacuum cleaner.
In the presented version of the design of the room, in combination with bamboo, photo wallpapers with a marine theme were used.
This is a very good color combination. In addition, such a pattern is able to visually expand the space, and the image of water usually carries a positive and calming effect on the psychological state of a person. The combination of the warm color of bamboo resembles the shades of a sandy shore, and in combination with the image of clear sea water, this composition will always remind you of summer and relaxation.
Wall mural
Photo wallpapers will be an excellent option for decorating a teenage girl's room, but they should still be chosen together with the “hostess” of the interior being created. The range of this type of finish is quite large, so in specialized stores you can find canvases with any theme, and there should be no problems with the choice.
Interior color scheme
The choice of wallpaper shades for a teenage girl's room is no less important than their type and the material from which they are made, since color affects not only a person's mood, but also his general condition. This is especially important to take into account when choosing a color scheme for a teenager's room, with all its problems inherent in this period of life.
Of course, first of all, it is necessary to find out the preference of the child himself, but if a desire is expressed to decorate the room in gloomy colors, then it is worth politely but persistently persuading them to abandon such decisions and try to find a compromise. Gloomy shades and drawings on the wallpaper negatively affect the psyche of any person, especially in adolescence, when personality is formed and further interests are determined.
If earlier, when the child was small, it was decided for him what color his clothes and wallpaper should be in the room, now it's time to give him the opportunity to decide on the design on his own, and only if necessary try to carefully direct his desire in the right direction.
If there are many large windows in the living room, and it faces the sunny side, then any shades can be chosen for surface finishing, since in any case there will be enough light in it.
So, in order to finally decide on this wallpaper selection option, it is worth considering the most used color combinations.
Beige color
In a room decorated in light beige shades, it will always be lighter than when using other colors. It is especially desirable to apply such tones in the case when the windows of the room face the north side of the house, and there is practically no sun in the room.
Light shades promote relaxation, and the eye rests on them. The teenage room is used not only for sleeping, but also for various activities or just for solitude, so the interior should not be monotonous and boring, and bright accents that uplift the mood should be added to it. The advantage of this design is that, depending on the desire, tint accents can change in the interior, and the room will already take on an updated look from this.
blue shades
Blue is a cool color and is best used for sunny, hot rooms. It is not chosen for rooms whose windows overlook the shady side of the house, since on cloudy days the room will look uncomfortable.
At the same time, blue shades do not strain the eyes, and also have a positive effect on mood, but only if the room decorated in these colors is well lit by the sun. Furniture accessories and decorative elements that have black and red, gray and silver, yellow and white colors will fit well into such an interior, as they will dilute the blue shades and enrich the design.
The combination of light green and pink flowers
Designers quite often use a combination of these colors to decorate rooms for girls of different ages, as they are in perfect harmony with each other. These shades are also combined in the production of wallpaper, so this combination is very popular.
Furniture accessories, as well as decorative elements of the interior, are selected for the selected colors of the wallpaper. Quite often, wallpaper with a pattern printed on them is combined with plain canvases with the same shades, placing them on adjacent walls.
It must be said that the use of green always brings a kind of balance to the interior - the eye rests on it, and it also has a positive effect on the human nervous system. Pink shades add energy and picturesqueness to the design. Light tones emphasize and frame the main colors, so they can be called an integral element used to harmonize the decor.
Lilac shades
This design option looks very attractive and airy, but we must not forget that too much lilac and purple colors cause rapid eye fatigue and do not have a very good effect on mood. For adolescence "unbalanced" period - this is important!
Therefore, the use of such shades is permissible only in combination with white or other colors that are lighter than the main background. Such inserts will smooth out the negative impact of the lilac design.
Black-white-red combination
A rather controversial ensemble, but enjoying a certain popularity. Not everyone likes the play of sharply contrasting colors.
This combination can be called traditional, it makes the interior juicy and harmonious, as red, white and black complement each other perfectly. Collected in a harmonious combination, these colors make the room elegant and quite expressive. It must be said that each of them individually does not have a positive enough effect on a person’s mood, but in the right combination they increase efficiency and improve mood. The main thing is not to “overdo it” - there should still be much more white.
White and pink room
This design option can be called a "princess room", since such an image of white and pink color was created thanks to the animation and the Barbie doll outfits that girls love.
The white-pink combination embodies romantic moods, but does not set up a working rhythm, as it distracts from work and relaxes. Therefore, if you need to set up a teenage girl for study, then it is better to refuse this option. It should be noted that recently the fashion for such interiors has passed, and even before they were not to the liking of not all teenage girls without exception.
Black and white decoration
The combination of black and white colors in the right proportions and distribution will make the interior elegant and discreet. In such a room it is pleasant to engage in your favorite hobby, relax, prepare for lessons. Colors are not distracting, on the contrary, they help to focus and do not contribute to mental fatigue and eye strain.
For those who are serious about studying, but at the same time not devoid of a sense of romance, this color scheme seems to be optimal, especially since, if desired, it is quite possible to add a touch of expression to it by throwing a pillow or a plaid of juicy red or blue on the bed .
Room styles
Another factor that is worth discussing with the hostess of the room is the style of the design. There are a lot of design styles, but not all of them are equally popular. In order to visually determine which of the frequently chosen options is suitable for a particular occasion, it is worth considering several style developments suitable for teenage girls.
Modern style
The modern style of decorating a room is one of the directions of minimalism, using only the necessary interior elements in it, that is, nothing superfluous, with the exception of a few paintings or photographs on the wall or shelves.
This style is characterized by clear lines and shapes, neutral colors and an open floor plan, without overly bright patterns and, of course, colorful carpets. It is permissible to use only a few small color accents.
English style room
The English interior style is quite popular among teenagers, so you can find a lot of ready-made design developments for it. The decor of this design direction is dominated by blue, blue, white and red colors. Thanks to the successful combinations of beautiful shades, the interior does not look boring, although there is a touch of rigor in it. An integral attribute of this style is the flag of Great Britain or its imitation, that is, the use of the same colors, but in its own interpretation. This element can appear in the design several times, in the form of a rug in front of the bed, a chair cover, a bedspread, a small picture on the wall, curtains, or even a mural on the closet doors.
The style is quite restrained, not involving ruffles and frills on curtains or bedding, but despite this, the combination of colors and numerous highlighted lines are still a distraction. Therefore, if the child is not distinguished by the ability to quickly get together and focus on a particular activity, then it is best, when choosing this design option, to ensure that the main attribute is small and not constantly in the center of the field of view.
Sea style
The nautical style of decorating the room cannot be called too popular among teenage girls, but in vain. After all, this direction includes the widest possibilities for decorating the room.
It is not necessary to hang anchors on the walls or make windows in the form of portholes. It is enough to use the colors traditional for this style and choose their successful combinations. So, for the marine theme, blue, blue and turquoise colors are used, symbolizing water, white - sea foam, ocher shades - sand on the seashore. Photo wallpapers with seascapes are perfect for this direction, and if the horizon line is defined in them, then this effect will help to visually expand the space of the room. To add an accent to the interior design, you can use a thick red color, but it should not be too much.
Blue shades in combination with white and blue have a good effect on vision and do not distract attention, so this decor solution is quite successful for both a girl’s and a boy’s room.
Provence style
The Provence style can be called one of the most beloved by many designers, and it is perfect for creating a cozy room for both a girl and an adult. This direction differs in light tones, so the room turns out to be flooded with sunlight, and remains bright even on cloudy days.
Wallpaper for this room is most often chosen paper, white or close to it. They are decorated with floral ornaments or a check, which differs from the background of the canvas by only two or three tones, so it is almost invisible. Similar wallpapers can be used in combination with other materials, such as painted wood or imitation brickwork.
Calm pastel shades are good both for relaxation and for any activity. This style will especially appeal to girls involved in needlework, as it encourages them to add hand-made crafts to the room design - it can be embroidery, a knitted pillowcase, a plaid or a cape on an armchair.
Hi-tech style
The high-tech style can be called a triumph of minimalism, since of all its trends, it has become the most famous and used in interiors for both adults and children. "Hi-tech" is characterized by conciseness and functionality, that is, in the room there are only objects necessary for life and work - and nothing more.
In minimal quantities, decorative elements may be present in the interior, but also made in the same style and having suitable shades. In a room decorated in this style, objects with smooth and chrome surfaces, with clearly defined shapes, are welcome. "Hi-tech" is most often chosen to decorate the room of teenage boys, but some girls also welcome this direction.
Classic style
The classic style has not gone out of fashion for many decades and is distinguished by its luxury and comfort. Light-colored wallpapers are chosen for it - mostly pastel green, ocher and similar tones with large, but not very prominent floral patterns, located on the canvases with a large step.
Traditional pieces of furniture for this style are chests of drawers, wide beds, as well as floor lamps and tables with figured curved legs. In the rooms, made in a classic style, any person feels comfortable. If a small room is decorated, and it is impossible to install a large bed in it, then variations are quite possible, since this style does not establish a clear design framework with specific attributes.
It is necessary to remember other directions suitable for the design of a teenage room - these are American, Scandinavian, "country", "loft", ethnic and other styles. Which one to choose will primarily depend on the hostess of the room being renovated, as well as the desire of the parents to create a comfortable and healthy atmosphere for the child. But to get involved in something completely exotic is not worth it, it can give completely unexpected negative results.
In addition to the wallpaper material, their color and applicability to a particular style, it is necessary to keep in mind a few more aspects of choosing a finish:
- If a narrow room is allocated for the nursery, then if you want to visually expand its space, you can use several approaches. So, for example, wallpapers with a 3D effect are used, with the presence of an image on them with a visible horizon line or with a pronounced perspective. Wall murals must be glued to the entire surface of the length of the wall of the room from floor to ceiling. Another option may be canvases with wide horizontal stripes - they are glued to one or both short walls of the room.
If it is necessary to visually make the room longer, wallpaper with horizontal stripes is pasted on one or both walls located on the right and left sides of the front door.
- It is quite difficult to create coziness in a room with very high ceilings, and this problem can be solved in two ways. The first is to install a suspended or stretch ceiling system. The second is to stick a decorative border up to 100 mm wide on the walls around the entire perimeter of the room, stepping back from the junction of the wall and ceiling by about 150 ÷ 170 mm.
If the ceiling needs, on the contrary, to be visually raised, then for this purpose you can use the same striped wallpaper, but you need to glue them vertically on one or all walls of the room.
- For a small children's room, it is not recommended to purchase dark wallpapers or those that have a large geometric or floral pattern, as they have the ability to visually compress the space. To get the opposite effect, you should use plain canvases of light shades.
- The cold tones of the finishing material create a cool effect in the room, so they can be used to decorate rooms with windows overlooking the sunny side of the house.
Warm tones make the room more comfortable and cozy to stay in it.
- Wallpaper with diagonal or large patterns are selected when it is necessary to hide the curvature of the wall surface.
Fulfilling one or more of the above recommendations, it is necessary to take into account everything that was mentioned above, that is, the chosen style and color scheme of the interior.

Video: options for finishing and interior filling rooms for teenage girls
The nursery is the first room in which a child's life begins. This is the world of his hobbies and interests. Here the child studies, relaxes, plays his favorite games and dreams. And it must be designed taking into account the interests of its inhabitant. Parents should involve the boy himself in the design of the children's room, find out what he wants to see around, how to arrange furniture and toys.
As they grow up, the boy's room will also change. With a change of interests and preferences, he will want to change children's pictures to others.
Simply painted walls in a boy's room are unlikely to contribute to games and the development of fantasy. Wallpaper for a boy's room can turn a room into the place that a young pirate or astronaut, explorer or sportsman dreams of. Boys are no less prone to fantasies than girls.
But before you start decorating the walls in the nursery, you need to remember the general points in choosing a color:
- red and orange colors act excitingly on the psyche;
- blue and green shades are soothing;
- yellow and pink color work well for the brain;
- the dark colors of a boy's room are depressing.
Types of wallpaper in the room for boys:
- The texture of the wallpaper should be quite practical - the boys often play ball, throwing it against the wall. If there are scratches from sabers and daggers, they should not be very noticeable on the wall. Therefore, it is better to choose textured bases with a pattern.
- Vinyl wallpapers. What is their advantage? They clean well, are affordable, are safe for health and are therefore quite suitable for pasting a boy's room. On high-quality vinyl wallpaper, you will find a note about the presence of micropores that allow air to pass through and do not create a greenhouse effect. The basis for them is interlining or paper. The top is PVC. They are resistant to moisture and can be cleaned with a damp sponge.
- Paper- the most familiar and oldest way of pasting walls. These wallpapers are safe, because. made from paper. The porous basis does not allow to accumulate moisture. Lets air through. Such wallpapers are easily glued and removed from the walls. For the nursery in which the boy lives. such wallpapers can be very relevant. Due to their low price, they can be replaced at no extra cost if they get very dirty. The absence of synthetic materials guarantees the absence of fungal infections. If mold develops on the wall, it is immediately noticeable on paper wallpaper. You can take action to fix it.
- non-woven wallpaper in appearance is similar to paper, but more durable and of high quality. They represent a non-woven synthetic base that does not get wet. In structure, they are thicker and more textured, so they can be used to mask minor defects on the wall. In width - more than paper ones, which means that there will be fewer joints on the wall and the surface will look more monolithic. But gluing them is more difficult than vinyl or paper. Non-woven wallpaper is heavier and more expensive than the analogues described above.
- liquid or textile it makes sense to stick wallpaper in the nursery if the tastes and preferences of your child have been formed, and the wallpaper is designed for several years. They are more expensive, but also look more presentable.
Color selection
The main thing is that the child likes the chosen wallpaper. But once again it must be emphasized that the character of the young tenant must also be taken into account. If the boy is constantly on the move, he is often excited and active, then the colors of the nursery should calm him down, relax, and give rest to his nerves. Blue wallpapers with small boats are very suitable.
If the child is quiet, calm, feel free to add bright large drawings to the design.
The nursery will become the boy's favorite room if you use photo wallpapers with your favorite fairy-tale or movie characters to decorate one wall. If the nursery room allows, you can separate different zones with colors - play, bedroom, work. But if the room is small, such a division may look "clunky". The play area encourages activity. Bright colors and images are appropriate here. The sleeping area can be decorated in blue tones. The student's desktop can stand against a wall covered with plain beige or sand-colored wallpaper. Of course, the colors of different zones should be combined. Walls should not be dazzled.
Plot and style
The boy's room should be surrounded by stories that are familiar and interesting to him.
The theme may be as follows:
- cars, racing competitions;
- sky, planes, rockets;
- favorite cartoon characters - dinosaurs (but not monsters);
- marine theme - ships, sea spaces, dolphins;
- pirates, treasure caves, tropical islands.
Of these plots, the most popular is marine. There is scope for imagination for both the child and the parents. The room can be decorated in the form of an old yacht of Captain Flint. Paste the walls with plain wallpaper in blue, sand color. Wall murals depicting an ocean shore or a cabin would be appropriate. Accordingly, furniture and household items are selected in the same style. The bed can be ordered or bought in the form of a ship. You can sleep on it at night, and play pirates with friends during the day. In an additional place of rest, do not put a chair, but hang a rope hammock.
Decorate the sports corner not with a Swedish wall, but with rope ladders on the mast.
It is good to decorate the walls (even if they are fake ones) with a steering wheel and a compass. With the age of the boy, the color of the wallpaper, furniture, and interior accessories will change. The young man does not want to live in a room with marine wallpaper or boats on the walls. At this age, interests go into the field of fashionable music, sports, motorcycle and auto racing.
Wall mural for a teenager can be made from more expensive materials. Posters with rock musicians or sports heroes may well appear on the walls.
And the background for them can be both gray and black. And parents will have to come to terms with it. But the son will feel comfortable among his favorite characters. And over time, he will appreciate the tolerance and delicacy of his parents.

Every parent strives to equip their child's room with maximum coziness and comfort. One of the decisive factors in the arrangement of the nursery is the choice of the right wall cladding. And if the choice of wallpaper for pasting the rooms of teenage girls usually does not cause difficulties, then the acquisition of analogues for boys of many parents is confusing. However, no matter how difficult the choice may seem due to the wide range of varieties of wallpaper material, it will be easier to choose the right option after familiarizing yourself with the main nuances that you should decide on before going to the store.
Varieties
Other controversial options include glass. Of course, they are unique, because they provide for painting up to 20 times, and are also durable and can decorate walls for 2 decades. However, these fabrics do not breathe. There are also such options (liquid wallpaper) that are not glued, but smeared on the walls, rubbing and trimming, like plaster. These products, despite their originality, are also not used as wall coverings for guys' rooms, preferring to decorate this room with roll wallpaper.
Today it is customary to decorate the rooms of teenage boys with paper, non-woven wallpaper and photo printing products.
- The first panels can have different widths, which makes it easier to paste over hard-to-reach places. However, they are unstable to moisture and short-lived (they serve no more than 5 years). If earlier they were mostly smooth, today manufacturers also produce rough canvases with relief imitation.
- Non-woven counterparts are notable for a variety of surface textures that can imitate brickwork, plaster strokes, a rough cement or stone surface. Such wallpapers are simpler than paper ones in pasting, have a longer service life, are slightly elastic, which makes their joining invisible. They are often produced in special batches, which include plain rolls and contrasting companions, provided for combination.
- Wall mural for teenagers' rooms is a separate unique product line. They allow you to make the background design of the room stylish, catchy and spectacular. Often they set the right mood for the interior, hinting at the child's hobbies and making the design of the room special. With their help, you can profitably beat any disadvantage of the layout of the room, making it the main decoration of the background wall design.
Suitable covers for different ages
Despite the general definition of "teenager", wallpapers for boys are distinguished by age themes. This is noticeable in the drawing of the elements or their proximity to reality. Images can be not only drawn and sketchy: often for older children they buy or order photo wallpapers with images of football or music industry idols. And if boys of 10-12 years old can still buy panels with stylized elements of comics, then for the age category from 13 and 14 years old they are already trying to buy wallpaper-posters.
Such options are remarkable in that they can be different in theme and size. This, in turn, allows you to choose and place the accent in the room correctly, without visually warping the space. A plus can be called the variability of the texture of these panels. For example, the image can be not only smooth: today, trademarks offer buyers options with a matte rough and even embossed texture.
This approach allows you to create the effect of a pattern applied on top of the main coating. For example, wallpaper can show the effect of a pattern made on part of the wall over stone, concrete base or brickwork. Such options are especially noteworthy for decorating the rooms of boys who know a lot about graffiti. They look very impressive on the walls of the room.
Guys aged 15 and 16 often prefer a more relaxed design of the walls, considering pasting surfaces with plain wallpaper to be sufficient design. This is convenient for arranging pictures, emphasizing video or audio zones. Some teenagers consider the excessive selection of walls unnecessary, preferring the strict functionality of the wallpaper and the minimalist design of not only the walls, but the entire interior. In this regard, everything depends on the temperament of the child, because if for some self-expression should be manifested in bright colors and sometimes rebellious drawings, then for others it seems like an excess that interferes with concentration.
Colors and combinations
Today, the color schemes of the design of the walls of a teenager's room are varied. If desired, parents can choose the right option without any problems: on the shelves of stores there are a lot of panels of noble shades. At the same time, the choice for guys is no less wide than for girls. Some of the most fashionable today are light gray, beige and gray-blue tones. The best combinations can be called combinations:
- light gray and beige;
- white, black and light brown;
- gray-blue and terracotta;
- brown, white and beige;
- gray and white;
- blue and white;
- white with woody and gray-brownish;
- orange, white and brick;
- light green and gray;
- swamp, brick and white colors.
The presence of white in the design is not accidental: it is a means of introducing light spots into the interior. However, if it seems to be easily soiled, parents try to purchase options with a light gray tone instead. Some people like mixing shades in the form of a texture. From afar, such wallpapers may appear monochromatic, but upon closer examination, they can consist of two or three tones (for example, white, light gray and beige). The pattern of such wallpaper can resemble a stone or even coarse weaving of threads.
Giving preference to one or another color, it is worth starting from several nuances, for example, from:
- child's opinions
- the side of the room that the windows face;
- sizes of window openings;
- location of the central and wall lamps;
- pasting places (relevant for accent panels).
The color of the wallpaper should please the child, it is important to take into account his opinion. When buying, you should pay attention to the muted light tones of the color palette, since gloomy and dark, in addition to negative perception, will similarly affect the mood of the child. In addition to visually hiding valuable centimeters of usable area, such paints visually reduce the height of the ceiling and the width of the walls, demonstrating their boundaries. Light panels have the peculiarity of erasing the rigid boundaries of space, which allows you to create the illusion of spaciousness in the room. Along with this, they bring a feeling of light and air into the interior, so it will be comfortable to be in such a room.
However, the choice of temperature matters here, since the location of the windows can distort the color. Therefore, the seemingly beautiful color of the panels after pasting can look completely different. For example, if it is initially cold, in a room with windows facing north, the tone will appear darker. Warm beige on the walls of the teenage room on the south side will give off yellowness. If the room has small windows, which, for example, is typical of an attic space designed as a boy's nursery, you need to glue light wallpapers in it. This will make up for the lack of illumination and level the room, softening the broken perspective of the layout.
Drawings
Of course, children's wallpapers with a traditional repeating print in the form of cars or toys are not suitable for the design of a guys' room. Various cartoon characters that do not correspond to the age of the child are also undesirable. Before you go to the store for wall cladding, you should ask the opinion and hobbies of the child. The best choice for boys aged 12-14 will be racing cars, three-dimensional canvases depicting a football field, as well as a marine theme made on photo wallpapers.
Bright personalities will like extraordinary graffiti wallpapers. However, so that such a design does not get tired too quickly, it is important to take into account the peculiarities of color perception. For example, not all colors of the color palette are combined with each other, since they are diametrically opposed in perception. Those who like three-dimensional paintings should pay attention to canvases depicting a night or day city. Such photo wallpapers look not just stylish: they visually fill the room with air and space. No less good for the walls of a teenage room are options with a map of the world.
Styles
The design of teenage rooms differs from the design of children's rooms in that in this case the interior style is more pronounced. Here you can already see the belonging of the interior composition to one or another direction of design, in which the wallpaper plays an important role. Of course, guys do not like the classic branches of style with their characteristic ostentatious luxury. They prefer simplicity and conciseness, so most teen rooms today are furnished in a modern style.
And yet, the style of teenage boys' rooms is multifaceted. If, say, minimalism is taken as a basis, then the emphasis is on simplicity and rigor of lines, as well as functionality. The wallpapers in such rooms are plain, they are rarely complemented by contrasting inserts or panels, and even more so they are not distinguished by photo printing. If the rooms are decorated in modern or high-tech styles, you can’t do without some elegance.
In such cases, it is important to demonstrate modern technologies, which can be expressed in the texture of the wallpaper. Today, at the peak of popularity are panels with a creative type of surface that imitates rough materials. It can be burlap, torn stone, concrete, an unplastered wall with a porous surface. If a loft style is chosen, it is worth buying wallpaper for the texture of lime or concrete and combining them with an insert for brickwork.
Together with creative lighting and imitation of communications, a brick wall will look not only stylish, but also spectacular. You can take a similar design as a basis when choosing a grunge bohemian style. If a guy is interested in anime, you can support his passion by decorating the walls of the room with wallpaper in the appropriate style. This design looks extraordinary and bright, but for expressiveness, the contrast in the form of Japanese cartoon characters should not be repeated.
Which ones to choose?
- To decorate a teenage room, you will have to buy two types of wallpaper: plain and contrasting. At the same time, it is worth buying two types of panels at once in order to select the tones and texture of the wallpaper as accurately as possible. They should not differ in status: against the background of expensive ones, cheaper ones will look too simple. When buying two types of wallpaper at once, you need to calculate where and how the panels will be located, taking into account the chosen combination method.
- If possible, it is worth giving preference to meter-wide panels. Of course, it is easier to paste over hard-to-reach places with half-meter strips. However, wide wallpapers will reduce the number of joints, and, as a rule, they are easier to paste.
- When choosing photo wallpapers, you should have a rough idea of how they will look together with plain products. You should not combine the incongruous just because you like each wallpaper individually.
- Do not take the canvases immediately without seeing them: deploy them on the stand and move at least 2 meters away. At a distance it will be better to see how they look from afar. Pay attention to the size of the print: if the room is small, a giant image on the photo wallpaper will distort it for the worse. Too complex a drawing that does not correspond to age is also not good. It is worth going to the store with your child, this will allow you to understand what he likes.
For a teenage boy's room, as well as any things for him, it is not at all easy to choose because of the wayward nature of a child at this age, as well as because of the frequent and abrupt changes in tastes and preferences. At the same time, it is impossible to leave children's decoration in the bedroom in a situation where the son has already grown to adolescence, because it will be uncomfortable for him to be in the room.
Of course, when choosing wallpaper, you need to consult with the boy himself, but you can’t completely let go of control over the situation, as well as make rash decisions.
What should be the wallpaper?
Teenage wallpapers have several criteria that distinguish them from the rest. These points must be considered when choosing:
- Adolescence is characterized by non-standard ways of self-expression, the craving for which quickly passes. Many adults are often even embarrassed by some of their teenage hobbies, which at one time considered an integral part of their lives. Do not drive yourself into a situation where your son wants to change the interior of the room, and you feel sorry for the almost new wallpaper - in case of a lack of finances, it is better to purchase inexpensive wallpapers.
- Uniqueness. Every teenager is sure that he is unusual, not like everyone else. All his behavior is aimed at expressing himself - to show how unusual he is. Own room should be fully consistent with the momentary interests of the teenager. Later, an adult guy will want a wallpaper "like someone else's", but now uniqueness is much more preferable. It is often advised to choose bright wallpapers, but in fact it is only interesting for younger teenagers.
- Lack of taste. The concept, of course, is conditional - everyone has his own. However, teenagers differ in their own vision of everything around, their ideals often seem tasteless parents, as well as vice versa. If a child suddenly wants something ordinary and something that you like, do not refuse, but ask yourself if the same age son will not be called too old-fashioned and boring. Perhaps it is better to hint that you are not against daring experiments.
If the teenager himself wants this, but you are just against it, it is better to give in at a certain moment, otherwise you can greatly ruin your relationship with your son because of a trifle.
Which one is better to glue?
If we talk about varieties, wallpaper can be classified according to several criteria:
- Material. Perhaps nothing is more expensive than ordinary paper or non-woven fabric. Firstly, they are inexpensive, which is very appropriate in view of the boy's frequent change of tastes. Secondly, they offer the widest possible choice of design solutions, which will match the tastes of the child.
- Color palette. Most often, it is recommended to choose light, cheerful colors for the bedroom, but teenagers are unusual in that they are ready to abandon any generally accepted standards. They can give preference to a strict black and white color scheme, and emphasized gloomy atmosphere, and childishly bright multi-colored design, and quite classic pastel colors. In the case of a destructive choice, you can try to defend the good old classics, but remember that it is undesirable to insist on your own too much.
- Visual design. Since originality is needed, many parents are sure that murals are required in a teenager's room, but this is not entirely true. Even a completely monochrome finish is acceptable, and posters and posters will play the role of decoration.
Styles
With the help of style, you can very favorably emphasize the hobbies of the child, which he will undoubtedly like. This is exactly what you should be pushing away from. The following popular styles among young people should be considered:
- Loft. Deliberate abandonment, "industrial" interior, which will appeal to fans of computers and other equipment, and severe athletes, and even bohemians.
- High tech. Emphasized manufacturability and focus on maximum interior comfort to the detriment of its brightness is an ideal habitat for a computer programmer, although in recent years hi-tech has basically turned into a typically masculine style.
- Ethnic style. In the global world, you often meet a teenager who is passionate about the culture of a particular country. In recent years, the passion for Japan can be called rampant, and the United States and Great Britain also enjoy success among young people.
- Sea style. Constantly alludes to movement and far travel, which is suitable for those who cannot sit still for a long time. Teenagers are rarely experienced travelers at this age, but dreaming and making plans is much more pleasant in the right environment.
- Kitsch. This is the most complex of all possible styles, since it is an analogue of what is called the word "casual" in clothes. The point is to combine completely unexpected things, but you are unlikely to be able to do this in a way that your child appreciates.
More precisely, the result can cause a certain sympathy, but you can bring kitsch to an ideal state only for yourself.
Color and design
The choice of colors has already been mentioned above - there are no specific requirements for it, teenagers are too capricious to drive themselves into some kind of framework. Another thing is that space for choice can remain thanks to various design options.
The simplest solution is ordinary one-color wallpaper. Only at first glance they do not fit into the teenage bedroom - in fact, they belong there. The fact is that they themselves, without being flashy and individual, allow you to freely hang any posters and posters on top of them without harming the background, which still allows for the durability of the repair - it will not be the finish that will change, but only the accessories on top of it, which is much cheaper and allows the interior to always be relevant.
Relatively common is such an option as simple geometric shapes or an inconspicuous strip. The advantages are the same as for plain wallpaper, although there may be additional difficulties due to the fact that the color scheme with the change of accessories on top of it can contrast worse and worse with the overall palette of the room.
Wall mural, of course, in a teenage room is very appropriate. You need to choose them according to the taste of a young person - these can be both idols (football players, boxers, musicians) and urban landscapes (skyscrapers of a night city, bridges, masterpieces of world architecture).
In general, the choice of photo wallpapers is limited only by the client's imagination, because they can even be made to order - with such a picture as you can provide for a sample.
Wallpaper layout and zoning options
It will be much easier to achieve originality if you use not one type of wallpaper, but two, for decoration.
In addition to the purely visual effect, there will be a direct benefit - a room divided into zones will allow you to more effectively engage in a particular activity. For the recreation area, light and soothing tones are more appropriate, and if the son plays sports at home, then in the working area of \u200b\u200bhis room, on the contrary, you can stick bright, defiant wallpapers.
You can also combine finishes of different colors for accents. It is possible both in simple ways, such as combining plain wallpaper of different colors or two different discreet patterns, and with the help of photo wallpapers. The latter can occupy both an entire wall and a relatively small part of it, acting as a kind of picture without a frame.
Photo wallpapers help zoning, different types of them can even be combined, choosing an unobtrusive seascape for the recreation area, and for the work area - a photo of a famous boxer to motivate work with a pear and barbell, or an equally famous musician for inspirational guitar rehearsals.
How to choose?
When choosing a finish for the walls of a teenager's room, you should definitely listen to his opinion, but you can promote your point of view or just give him good advice only if your position is sufficiently reasoned. When choosing, follow a few simple tips:
Choose plain or striped solutions only if the boy's preferences change with stunning speed, and he does not have any specific hobbies or notable achievements in any area. This will allow the owner of the room to instantly switch from one hobby to another with the help of new posters, which is especially typical for a boy of 14-15 years old, who is still very impulsive and sharp.
Photo wallpapers, especially expensive ones, should be chosen only if the teenager has one very stable hobby - for example, a musical group or a football player.
