Ella & Otto: kids wallpaper

I love a good feature wallpaper in grown up spaces as much as in kids bedrooms and playrooms.

Looking for something tasteful to decorate a full wall is not always easy though I have found some good ones I like to share. Take a look!

Woodland

With some "animal heads" or a bird house the wood comes alive and looks fun.

Maps
Maps are a great way to fill a big wall - decorative but also educational!
(How often have we not looked at our sons wall to find a place we were looking for!)

Doodle walls

Cute surprise

Fake wallpaper - illusion of a brick wall

I think this is a great way if you like to introduce a brick wall in your teenagers room but you do not like to go all the way - a fake brick wall with brick veneer.

A company which dooes great wallpaper is Rebelwalls.com

At the moment my husband and I are busy with painting the room of one of our kids before they go on holiday and Autumn arrives.

It is not easy to find the right color of paint or the right wallpaper.

I do like the idea of fresh flower wallpapers like the ones from Designers Guild and Cath Kidston.

With their bright colours and bold graphics they remind me of summer. I like that.

A good idea is to keep the furniture colour simple and pick your favourite colour out from the wallpaper an use it as an access for soft furnishing.

We love this floral backdrop - it works so well with lemon yellow furniture - it lifts the colour of the wallpaper and the room.

Bright red walls go best with white or light colored furniture. Specially powder blue sits well against floral wallpaper.

If the wallpaper is busy with lots of pattern on it, then it is a good idea to keep the furniture simple and not clutter the space with too many colours.
