Choosing the nursery wallpaper - 5 tips
August 21st 2008 12:54
Nursery wallpaper can be really hard to get right. Get it wrong and you'll either have to re-do it with a toddler running between your legs or live with something you've come to loath.
It's too tempting to choose something that looks gorgeous for a brand new baby, think rosebuds and snowy white backgrounds or maybe something in lemon? Yellow is the usual colour of choice or those of you who don't know if it's a boy or a girl or just can't agree!
Trouble is 9 months down the line little Frank doesn't look like a sweet little pink bean anymore. He's a rugrat, or ankle biter wizzing round the floor commando style.
Or what about dear little Clothilde (was that wise? No,really?) who's first word was Barbie, and who screams if you try to put her in anything that isn't pink? Will she love that gender neutral room you so carefully created?
Nursery Wallpaper Essentials
1. Choose something you can live with. Babies could care less about design. It's you that's going to be sitting in there at 3am looking at the wall.
2. If you chose a pattern put it on one feature wall not all four.
3. Think ahead. Too many bright busy colours over stimulate sleepy toddlers.
4. Nothing too bright or lurid near the cot - we all want to sleep!
5. Choose something you can easily adapt and update. You will not have time to re-decorate for a while.
