Wallpaper for Nurseries and Kids' Rooms: Washable, Durable Choices

For nurseries and kids' rooms, choose wallpaper rated washable or scrubbable so fingerprints and crayon wipe off, pick a pattern that can grow with the child, and schedule installation a few weeks before the baby arrives so the room can air out. An accent wall behind the crib or bed is a popular, budget-friendly option.

In short

  • Scrubbable or extra-washable vinyl for easy cleaning.
  • Non-woven paper is easy to remove when the child outgrows the pattern.
  • Install a few weeks before the due date and ventilate the room.
  • Avoid delicate natural fibers in rooms with small children.

Patterns that last

Botanicals, stripes, stars, soft geometrics and scenic murals can carry a room from nursery to school age. Highly themed patterns are fun but are often replaced within a few years, so a single accent wall keeps that change affordable.

Timing before the baby arrives

  • Order the paper early; designer papers can take weeks.
  • Book installation a few weeks before the due date.
  • Ventilate the room well after installation while the paste dries.

Practical tips

  • Keep a spare roll for repairs after the toddler years.
  • Use washable paper on the lower half of the wall if you mix paper and paint.
  • Ask for low-odor adhesives where the manufacturer allows.
