Painting walls in a children's room is a great way to “animate” a child’s personal space and make it more interesting. Wall drawings can be either really complex or very simple in execution. It is better to entrust large-scale works to a professional, but images that are not too large, detailed and multi-colored can be drawn with your own hands. The main thing here is to choose the appropriate design, materials and follow some rules of technology.
For those who are in the process of searching for ideas or tips on how to paint the walls of a nursery with their own hands, we have prepared a selection of inspiring photo examples and a small master class.
If drawing is not your thing, then here are some options for painting a children's room you might like:
This method is very simple, but with it you can come up with so many different ideas for both boys and girls’ rooms. Here are a few of them.
Decorating a wall using stencil technology involves the following steps:
Step 1. Mark the wall with a pencil and mark out the stencil locations using a construction or laser level.
Step 2. Secure the stencil with masking tape or glue the finished template if it is self-adhesive.
Step 3. First apply one layer of paint and let it dry, then the second. You can apply the paint tightly at once, but the drawing will be more accurate if you work in stages. If you are painting with a brush, apply the paint in a circular motion. Periodically, excess paint should be wiped off with a foam sponge. If desired, the resulting drawing can be complicated - add volume to it or draw details.
Step 4. Give our drawing 24 hours to dry. As soon as the paint has dried, we coat the picture with a protective varnish, which will make it moisture resistant.
A graphic or low-color, small and not too detailed design can be drawn by hand. We’ll tell you how to do this with your own hands below in the master class. In the meantime, we suggest you look at the following photos of painted walls in the interiors of children's boys and girls - maybe you and the owner of the room will like some ideas.
It’s great if you have some drawing skills, then you can draw with your own hands not only cute characters and animals, but also a whole plot, for example, as in this photo selection of interiors with painted walls.
It is especially worth highlighting the theme of trees, which is fertile for creativity - they are not difficult to draw, but you can come up with so many interesting details! For example, these could be birds or fairies sitting on branches, beautiful leaves or flowers, squirrels or butterflies.
If you have conceived the design of a wall on a grandiose scale, which only a real artist can implement, or you yourself are such a professional, then we bring to your attention examples of more complex works.
Here is a photo of artistic painting in the interiors of girls’ children’s rooms.

So, first you need to choose a wall to paint, come up with a drawing or composition, taking into account the arrangement of furniture, sockets, lamps, etc., and also based, of course, on the desires of the child, your drawing skills and color design of the interior. It’s better to think through several painting options at once and draw several sketches. The picture you and the owner of the room like should be printed in color, then you will understand what colors of paint you need to buy.
Shopping list:
At this stage it is important to ensure that the wall is dry and clean.
Now it's time to draw a sketch of the future picture on the wall. This stage is not very difficult, but important. This can be done by hand, using stencils (purchased or homemade) or using a projector as shown in the photo below.
Here is another way to transfer a sketch to the wall: on whatman paper, a piece of wallpaper or craft paper, draw a sketch with a pencil or chalk, then place cardboard or carpet under it and, using a pin or copy wheel, draw all the contours of the drawing. Next, glue the paper to the wall and draw your sketch with a pencil so that all its lines remain on the “canvas”.
Once all the local spots are painted over, you can start drawing the details. And one more piece of advice - don’t be afraid to make a mistake, because most mistakes can be corrected, and handmade wall painting does not require such perfect lines from the artist.
Hurray, almost ready. We give the paint a couple of hours to dry (sometimes it takes longer depending on what kind of paint you used) and cover the entire composition with matte varnish, so that in the future you can wipe the walls with a damp cloth, and the paint will not fade from sunlight.
In this video you can watch a short story about painting a children's room in the program “Housing Issue”.
Parents need to literally “fall into childhood” in order to create a good, calm environment in the children's room. Whether the child goes to kindergarten or school, what his favorite fairy tales or comics are - these are the main questions that parents need to answer before starting with a brush and a palette of paints on the nursery. When painting walls, you need to show imagination and kindness, because no one wants a high-security vacation. Therefore, it is never too late to look at the world through the eyes of a child when decorating his room.
Parents who draw on the wall in the children's room or invite an artist to paint the walls are brave people. The child will grow up and make new demands. We must keep this in mind when crossing the threshold of a child’s room. If there are two or more children, and there is only one nursery, you need to take into account the wishes and age of everyone, discuss all the PROS and CONS. Therefore, you need to be a designer at heart and not be afraid of change. In a children's room, paintings will not last forever; the complexity of the plots will grow with the child.
If the baby is under 6 years old, this question disappears: of course, parents. If a preschooler has sufficiently developed fine motor skills, then you can give him the role of a young artist. There are several options for helping your child become Tube, the artist of the Flower City from “The Adventures of Dunno.” Jokes aside, this is how you can raise a real master.
Contains iron particles and allows you to attach drawings and notes to the wall without making holes in the surface. It can be applied to part of the wall in the nursery and decorated with children's drawings.
Creates a coating on which you can draw with crayons. The nursery will turn into an excellent starting point for school: instead of a boring blackboard, the child will be able to paint the walls, erase and draw again.
The new paints have a latex water-soluble base, which is safe to use. If your child is actively preparing for school, you should give him such a feasible task to paint the wall in his room. If the toddler is still small and only paints diapers, the parents will have to dare.
Of course, some families have the opportunity to invite Nikas Safronov or Sergei Andriyaka to paint the walls in the nursery for their dear child. At the same time, you must keep in mind that not a single most venerable artist will draw with such warmth and dedication as you yourself in your baby’s room. In painting walls with your own hands, as elsewhere, there is an easy way and more difficult methods.
The simplest thing is to cover the children's room with ready-made contour wallpaper with your favorite designs, and paint them yourself. The medium-difficult way is to use stencils.
These methods are for those who can say to themselves: “I’m not an artist, I’m just learning.” For people with an artistic education, there is the traditional, most difficult way of creating sketches and applying them to the wall.
Hobbyists first need to study the question: which stencils are more suitable: flexible or rigid, reusable or disposable, self-adhesive or glueless. Are you ready to make your own stencils or buy ready-made ones? Do you want stencils with special effects (volume stencil, or glow effect)?
Having answered these questions, you need to create list of materials that may be needed:
Having prepared the material base for work, you need to answer the following question: are you ready to repeat Michelangelo’s feat and paint the ceiling in the nursery? The fact is that child psychologists unanimously claim that to strengthen the psyche and improve a child’s vision in a child’s room, it is most useful to paint the ceiling. Meanwhile, when painting a ceiling, an artist’s neck may become stiff and his back and eye muscles may ache. You'll have to draw with your head up and your eyesight strained. However, the effect is worth it: both girls and boys like, when falling asleep, to see the starry twinkling sky or light, welcoming clouds on the ceiling.
Painting on the ceiling can help young patients fall asleep in a healthy way in the hospital, and during quiet time in kindergarten. Sleep is better than any medicine, but the dull white ceilings in government institutions for children once again prove: no one will try harder for your child than you yourself.
So, let’s turn on our cute fantasy and come up with funny scenes for painting walls or ceilings in a nursery:
A painting on a wall in a nursery can occupy the entire wall, or a character from a fairy tale will occupy only a fragment of it, rules for painting in a nursery remain unchanged:
Good luck to everyone!
What could be more beautiful than a children's room with individual wall paintings? Bright colors, interesting stories, favorite characters - all this helps to create in the room a special atmosphere of comfort and the presence of something fabulous and wonderful.
This method of decorating walls will cost more than traditional painting or photo wallpaper with a children's theme, but such a wall will only be in this room. Individual focus and focus on a specific child makes wall painting a unique option for decorating a nursery, in demand and popular among children of any age and gender.
Wall decoration in the nursery
Designers recommend entrusting such a complex process as painting walls in a nursery to experienced specialists. The experts will suggest the optimal place for the drawing, help you decide on the plot, and determine the ideal color scheme for a particular room. A professional artist who plans to paint the walls of a boy or girl’s room always starts by communicating with the child.
Wall painting in a children's room for a girl
The choice of subject for a future drawing should be based on the child’s personal preferences, hobbies and interests. Even the most beautiful tree with owls will not please the young football player who dreams of portraits of his idols or stylized goals on the wall above his bed.
ADVICE. Child-centeredness is a key requirement for high-quality wall painting.

Even parents can do primitive painting, done in one or more colors using stencils. Such a drawing can hardly be called a full-fledged painting, but it will certainly bring some charm and novelty to the interior of the room.
Among the popular prints, it is worth noting classic geometric (circles, diamonds), floral (flowers, stylized trees), thematic (schematic images of vehicles, characters from books or animated films, popular toys).
To paint the walls in a nursery, you should use only high-quality paints that do not fade in the light, so that the drawing does not lose its brightness after a year, and the characters look alive and real. It is important to pay attention to the safety of paint, because the baby spends a lot of time in his room, and breathing fumes is harmful to the growing body.
You can paint the walls in a boy or girl’s room with any colors: from classic monochrome to bright multicolors.
The choice of one or another scale is determined by the following factors:
Since the subject for painting is most often chosen by the future owner or owner of the room, the choice usually falls on traditional and familiar themes to everyone: princesses, castles, animals, dolls - for girls and cars, airplanes, space, sports - for boys. This gender identity is typical but not required.
Universal and suitable for children of any gender will be images of forests or fields with animals and insects, the sky with clouds and birds, the depths of the sea with various fish and octopuses.
Painting walls in a children's room can be an ideal option for zoning a spacious room. Since the child spends all his free time in his room: sleeping, resting, playing, studying, it is important to provide a place for each type of activity.
With the help of a correctly placed painting, you can highlight separate zones that will be united by a single style, color scheme and theme of the drawings on the wall.
IMPORTANT. All wall drawings located in the room must be made in the same or similar color scheme, and must also have similar themes or characters.
Painting the walls in a child's room is an expensive but worthy way to decorate a room. An individual drawing, selected for a specific baby, will help him develop correctly, explore the world and look at things with interest. Wall painting can grow with the child, because animals and flowers can be replaced by abstractions, original geometric prints, imitation of street wall painting, and stylized portraits of idols.
Painting walls in a children's room is a bold and bright solution for those who do not want to limit the child's imagination and imagination to four boring walls. This interesting design element gives the children's personal space an individual look and originality. Let's find out how you can unusually decorate the walls in a room where a little connoisseur of beauty will live.
Wall painting means decorating one or more walls with large-scale drawings. It does not matter whether the wall is hand-decorated or not. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the options for applying an image to the wall.
These unusual coloring sheets in rolls, made of thick coated paper, will allow your child to decorate their room on their own - you just need to color the outline images with finger paints, colored pencils or felt-tip pens. This creative way of self-expression will appeal to all children, without exception. For very young artists, unusual wallpapers will help them legally develop fine motor skills of their fingers through drawing, while older children will be given the opportunity to develop their imagination and constantly experiment.
If you decide to decorate a room with such wallpaper, stick it only on the lower part of the wall so that the child can easily reach any image. In addition, colored wallpaper glued to the entire surface of the wall makes the room too colorful. It is better to decorate the upper part of the wall with light, plain wallpaper.
Some readers, whose memory still retains the idea of Soviet-style photo wallpapers, most likely arched a skeptical eyebrow, vividly recalling the unbearably boring and faded landscapes. Modern photo wallpapers can be compared to unusual dynamic posters, the beauty of which sometimes takes your breath away. Now not only photos, but also drawings and computer graphics are transferred to photo wallpapers. In a word, this not new element of decor today has carved out its niche among interior design solutions. Thanks to new technologies, bright and durable colors, a large number of patterns and textures, photo wallpapers are appropriate in the room of any, even the most picky child.
There are countless options for decorating a wall or part of it with photo wallpaper. With a colorful image you can decorate the wall near the child’s bed or opposite it, fill the gap between the closet and the table, and decorate the upper or, conversely, lower part of the wall. The subjects of photo wallpapers can only be limited by the customer’s imagination.
Well-chosen photo wallpapers are a logical continuation of the main theme of the interior. For example, in the elegant room of a little princess, an image of a fairy-tale castle just begs to be hung on the wall, and the “lair” of a sea pirate will be harmoniously decorated with photo wallpaper in the form of an old map or a majestic schooner under sail. You can invite their favorite cartoon characters into your kids’ rooms.
These wallpapers are very convenient to use: they can be glued not only to the wall, but also to the ceiling or furniture of a child’s room. The use of modern photo wallpapers will not bring much difficulty, since they are created with maximum consideration for the needs of parents. For example, there are photo wallpapers with a dense washable surface and anti-marker photo wallpapers that a young experimenter cannot spoil.
When choosing photo wallpaper for a nursery, you can duplicate its plot in the small details of the room in order to maintain consistency and completeness of the interior. For example, the floral theme of photo wallpaper can be safely continued on pillows.
This is another convenient and easy way to transform the plain walls of a children's room. Funny pictures in the form of vinyl stickers will always cheer up your child. A vinyl sticker is a thin elastic film that you can stick to any smooth surface yourself.
The undoubted advantage of decorating a children's room in this way is that old vinyl stickers can be easily peeled off and new ones can be placed in their place. This is especially true for children - their interests and preferences, as a rule, change very quickly. Sometimes vinyl stickers come to the rescue when you need to hide the traces of a little mischief - stains, felt-tip pens on the wallpaper, etc.
We offer you a training video that will tell you how to properly glue a vinyl sticker to a wall:
Decorating a wall in a children's room based on the functionality of a school board is far from an innovative idea, but it still attracts many parents and children. You can make an improvised canvas for drawing with chalk yourself by using special paint to decorate a school board. Such dried paint cannot be scratched, and chalk can be cleaned with an ordinary damp cloth - just like at school.
Some mothers and fathers are afraid that a black wall will visually darken and make the overall bright image of the children's room heavier. This will not happen if the solution is correctly implemented and skillfully introduced into the interior of the room. For example, you can awaken your creative thinking and draw trees, houses, birds, or a month with stars on the board by hand. You just need to add a couple of garlands and LED lamps to the picture, and your baby will find himself in an interesting world of fantasy. In addition, the stories on the board can be easily changed in accordance with holidays or significant events in the family.
An ideal option for parents who want to make their child’s room unique and unforgettable is painting. If in the design of your child’s personal space you want to bring the room to a high degree of artistry and originality, then, of course, you can’t think of anything more beautiful than a real wall painting.
There are two ways to decorate a room - invite a master to do the work or plunge into creativity yourself. There is nothing difficult or impossible in decorating a child’s room yourself with drawings on the walls. Do not think that painting for children can only be done by a specialist. In fact, it doesn’t matter to children how professionally the fairy tale on the walls of their little world is executed - the flight of thought and imagination of little people is higher and freer than that of adults. By decorating the walls of the nursery with kind and bright drawings yourself, you will not only become an authority for your child, but will also receive enormous pleasure and satisfaction from the work done. To get used to the brush and, as they say, get better at it, experiment first on whatman paper.
With the help of a drawing, a child’s room can be turned into an impromptu magical world: to do this, it is enough to “place” your favorite fairy-tale or cartoon characters on the walls of the room against the backdrop of a castle or a mysterious forest. Just take into account that the child spends a lot of time in this room: doing homework, sleeping, relaxing, playing with friends. As you can see, the painted wall should not absorb too much of his attention - it is too tiring. The image should be devoid of bright, flashy and too contrasting colors. It is better to give preference to light blue, pink, peach and light green shades for the background and richer colors for details.
Beware of the predominance of gray, dark brown and other gloomy colors in the design. Firstly, a dark range of colors will frighten and suppress the child on a subconscious level, and secondly, it blocks the creativity of a small personality. Kind fictional characters from fairy tales contribute to the development of a child’s imagination; stories with letters and numbers are relevant for preschool children.
When growing children reach a period of gender separation, it also makes certain adjustments to the specifics of wall paintings. Girls identify themselves with good fairies and princesses.
And boys love cars and transforming robots.
Teenagers will be interested in graffiti or anime style images.
The painting of a children's room for a girl should reflect the little princess's craving for beauty. Use juicy “cozy” colors: carrot, apricot, apple, lemon shades. Think about what your daughter is interested in, and then transfer her hobbies to the walls! Wall painting in a children's room for boys most often gravitates towards blue and all its shades. Provided that the blue color palette is used in moderation, a feeling of security and serenity will reign in your son’s room.
Always consider your child's interests and preferences. In the question of what drawing will appear on the nursery wall, the last word should always be his. Also be prepared for the fact that an artistic wall painting that your son or daughter likes so much now may not suit the grown-up child in a few years - then the image will need to be removed completely or replaced with another.
Before you start decorating the wall in the nursery, check if you have all the tools, materials and equipment at hand:
