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.
Choosing the material
| Material | Kids' rooms? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Scrubbable vinyl | Best | Wipes clean, resists scuffs |
| Non-woven | Very good | Removes easily when tastes change |
| Peel-and-stick | OK for small areas | Easy to change, shorter life |
| Grasscloth, silk | Not recommended | Hard to clean, easy to pick at |
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.
