Flower wallpaper for the children's room
Flowers are our second most popular design after stripes, and the most chosen for a children's room that doesn't have to be neutral. We draw them ourselves, from a delicate daisy to a large botanical leaf, and have them printed in the Netherlands on non-woven wallpaper.
Scale determines almost everything here. A small design brings calm to the whole room, while a large design works best on a single wall with the rest kept plain. In a small room, that one wall is often exactly enough.

Small pattern or large pattern
A small, repeating floral print reads almost like texture from a distance. Up close you see the detail; from the doorway you see a calm wall. It's the kind of pattern you can use to cover the whole room without it feeling busy. Madelief is our most popular choice for this.
A large botanical pattern does the opposite: it's an image in its own right. Beautiful on one wall, too much across four. Vintage Botanica and the botanical leaf belong in that category.
If you're somewhere in between, take a look at Bloesem. It has a fine line with a larger repeat.
Which colours we stock
Dusty pink is our most popular shade, because it's muted and doesn't clash with the rest of your home. All our dusty pink patterns are grouped together on dusty pink wallpaper for the girls' room.
Lilac is bolder and needs daylight. In a dark room it quickly turns grey.
Mauve sits between dusty pink and purple and is our most grown-up floral shade. It works well right through to a teenager's room.
And beige with a floral pattern is the calmest of all. See beige wallpaper for the nursery.
Flowers that don't look childish
The difference between wallpaper that grows with your child and wallpaper you'll replace in three years rarely comes down to colour. It comes down to the subject.
A floral pattern works at any age. A pattern with fairy-tale figures or characters has a shelf life that usually runs out around age seven. That's why we don't stock licensed characters or figures.

Which wall to choose
The wall behind the bed is the classic choice, and usually the right one. You see it from the doorway, and it needs the fewest rolls.
With a small pattern, the whole room works just fine. With a large botanical pattern, I'd stick to one wall.
A third option is the lower half of the wall, as a kind of panelling effect. You can read how that turns out in our article on wall panelling in the children's room.

Styling tips for floral wallpaper in a children's room
Choose the pattern size to match the size of the room
The size of the flower determines how the room feels. A fine print makes a small room feel calmer, while a large botanical print works best on a single wall behind the bed. In a room with lots of furniture, a small pattern is almost always the safer choice.
Let one colour from the wallpaper come back elsewhere
Floral wallpaper often contains three or four shades. By picking one of those colours and echoing it in the curtains or bedding, the room feels calmer as a whole. Picking up all the colours at once makes it look busy instead.
Combine flowers with calm, plain surfaces
A floral pattern needs some calm around it. Plain walls in beige or off-white next to the wallpapered wall give the pattern room to work. That same calm should come back in the flooring and the large furniture too.
