Design af et børneværelse – farver, vægdekoration og tips til forældre

This article is for everyone who is about to become a parent – or already is one. We’ll show you how to design the kids’ room so that it becomes the most loved and imaginative space in your home – with a focus on color psychology, safety, and stylish wall décor.

Painting, Poster, or Wallpaper?

The range of decorations for children’s rooms today is enormous – from themed wallpapers and wall stickers to hand-painted canvas art.

Yes, hand-painted children’s motifs are rare – but that’s exactly what we’ve changed.

Take a look at these charming designs:

Color Schemes for Children's Rooms

Wall color directly influences a child's emotional well-being.According to the World Organization of Child Psychology, the following basic principles apply:
  • Blue has a calming effect and helps particularly active children concentrate and fall asleep more easily in the evening.
  • Green has a balancing effect, promotes attention, and is well-suited for learning or play areas.
  • Yellow lifts the mood and stimulates creativity – but in moderation, as too much yellow can be overstimulating.
  • Red activates and strengthens concentration, but should be used sparingly to avoid restlessness.

If a single color seems too boring, we recommend harmonious combinations:

  • Neutral pastel shades: Light blue with light-colored furniture, or soft gray tones with peach-colored textiles.
  • Forest theme: Green walls, wooden furniture, and matching wall art – for example, a fairytale triptych with woodland animals.

And if your child is older, be sure to involve them in choosing the colors – this will make the decorating process even more enjoyable.

Wall Decor with Soul

When choosing posters or paintings, keep two things in mind:

  1. Coordinate the colors with your furniture and wall colors – avoid harsh contrasts and aggressive tones.
  2. Choose a motif – it should be simple, friendly, and whimsical.
It's best to avoid current cartoon characters – interests change quickly, and what's appealing today might be unappealing tomorrow.Our image series were intentionally designed to be timeless and unisex: woodland animals, hot air balloons, or small vehicles suit any child's room – for girls and boys alike.

A Teenager's Room – When the Children's Room Becomes a Retreat

As your child grows older, not only does the style of the room change, but also its function.A teenager's room should reflect independence and personality without feeling cluttered.
  • In terms of color, muted tones with occasional colorful accents are ideal – for example, gray, sage green, or terracotta.
  • Wall art can now be more abstract: inspiring quotes, minimalist shapes, or modern animal motifs create a more mature atmosphere.
  • Light and texture play a crucial role – use soft, indirect light and natural materials to create a cozy atmosphere.

Tip: Let your child choose one of the pictures themselves – this fosters a sense of independence and pride in their own space.

Safety & Choosing the Right Size

Always choose certified materials for your child’s room. Our hand-painted canvas artworks are made from solid natural wood and water-based paints – completely safe and non-toxic.

If you prefer printed posters, look for verified quality seals; otherwise, varnishes and inks may contain unwanted substances.

Avoid oversized formats: an overly large image can overwhelm or even unsettle children. The ideal choice is smaller sets – for example, a triptych 30 × 60 cm or several A3 posters.

They look light, harmonious, and fit beautifully into any interior design.

Light & Imagination – Glow-in-the-Dark Wall Art

A wonderful trend is luminous wall art that softly glows in the dark. It not only adds a magical accent to the room but also serves as a pleasant night light.

Especially popular: our glow-in-the-dark planets – perfect for little dreamers and future astronauts.
