Kids wallpaper can really make a child’s bedroom fun. Wallpaper has the power to create the most striking atmosphere in a room without you having to change anything else. And what better way to personalise your child’s bedroom than if you add some creativity and fun through wallpaper?

Here we offer a list of inspiring kids wallpaper ideas so that you can add some of them and transform your child’s room into a fantasy land.


When you add an inspiring kids wallpaper design, you can create so many memories with the help of their imagination! In fact, your kids will love a cute child’s wallpaper as much as you do. This is a fabulous idea for home decor as you are able to shop for and add children’s wallpaper way more easily than having to paint over murals or bright shades on walls. Wallpaper is always a good choice, so read on and find out why.

There’s also the bonus of restyling your child's bedroom when you add wallpaper and it doesn’t create too much fuss!

We have compiled a kids wallpaper list of our ideas for you to add your favourite childrens wallpaper: here are some great home wallpaper choices to fill your child’s bedroom, playroom or nursery with joy and wonder. 

Add a touch of whimsy

Transform your child’s room into a wallpaper wonderland full of fairy tales, super heroes, Disney and any other character that lights up their lives. Take into consideration whether you’re choosing wallpaper for home decor for boys or girls rooms. It’s important that the wallpaper reflects their personality, their dreams and their imagination. 

When you compile a list of children’s wallpaper to shop for, look for every home wallpaper design and pattern from cute characters to a tropical beach or jungle, creatures, fairies and other fantastical wallpaper items. Make sure to complete the room with a fun, happy wallpaper shade palette, too.

Quick creative fabric elements

  • Home wallpaper aside, there’s a list of other important pieces to add to a child’s room to make it special…

    • Storage: Tuck everything away in its own special place so that the room is neat and play areas are free of clutter. Add wallpaper to your list and let it be the highlight of the room!
    • Curtains: While you want plenty of natural light during the day, you want your child to sleep well at night. Make sure you match the curtain fabric to the kids wallpaper mural and that the material is thick enough to keep out any light.
    • Fun additions: Add secret nooks, study areas, a bed canopy (check out our list of stars in our wallpaper selection) – anything that can add another special element. You can even do this by changing the wallpaper in certain areas! Instead of chairs, add large cushions or beanbags that match the wallpaper for comfy seating and relaxing. Children love being able to lounge around! And when you add matching wallpaper and fabric, it’s always a good idea.
    • Input: Involve your son or daughter in creating their perfect space, and that includes the wallpaper. They will love being involved in the process of transforming their bedrooms and being able to add a list of home wallpaper of their choice. Perhaps create a mood board together, or add a wallpaper wishlist – anything, even a quick view Harlequin or a basket galerie of wallpaper that will make their dreams come true.

1. Floral retro wallpaper

70s Vintage Retro Floral Flowers By trendywoosdesign

Add a floral wallpaper motif; it’s excellent if your little one is a dreamy, romantic soul. Flowers add such a calming energy to a room. This is also a wallpaper design that will probably last for a long time, as flowers and a garden picture are classic and never go out of style, especially if your child stays soft at heart during their teenage years.

2. Doggo wallpaper

Doxies By rocketandindigo

If your kid is a dog lover, then shop for a wallpaper print that features their favourite pet. Dogs have playful souls, and their loyal love helps them build a happy mindset. Depending on what your child likes, you can also add a vintage feel to your wallpaper print, which will make your room look fun, and chic.

3. Animal print wallpaper
