Kids Wallpaper: Ten Made-to-Measure Collections
Kids wallpaper: ten collections for every child’s room
Kids wallpaper from Designerwand comes from ten in-house collections and counts over five hundred designs. Everything is printed on non-woven wallpaper and made to your wall size, so the motif runs into the corner instead of stopping at a standard roll width. Sizes range from a single drop to walls three metres wide, and if it does not fit, our designers rescale it for you.
If you know what you want, start with the motif: animal wallpaper is by far the largest group, with jungle and safari and stars and clouds close behind. Prefer to browse by collection? Sam & Luca is the biggest with 109 designs.
Jungle Wallpaper for Kids: Safari, Palm Leaves and Wild Animals
Jungle wallpaper for the nursery: a room full of adventure
Jungle wallpaper turns a child’s room into a rainforest. Oversized palm leaves and monstera, leopards and tigers, giraffes and elephants at the waterhole: the design runs across the whole wall instead of stopping at the edge of a sticker. Everything is printed on non-woven wallpaper and made to your wall size, so it works above a door or under a sloped ceiling too.
Looking for the animals without the rainforest? See animal wallpaper. For quieter foliage without the beasts, flowers is the gentler neighbour. The strongest safari designs are in Olive & Noah and Sam & Luca.
Animal Wallpaper for Kids: Woodland Creatures, Birds and Friendly Beasts
Animal wallpaper for the nursery: by far our largest group
Animal wallpaper is easily the biggest group in our children’s range. Bears and foxes, rabbits and deer, owls and birds, cats, dogs, pandas and mice: from finely drawn woodland creatures on a soft ground to big cheerful figures for a play corner. Printed on non-woven wallpaper and made to measure per wall.
If the animal belongs in the rainforest, see jungle and safari. For underwater creatures head to sea, and for the extinct ones dinosaurs. The widest choice sits in Sam & Luca and Olive & Noah.
Star Wallpaper for Kids: Clouds, Moon and Rainbows
Star and cloud wallpaper: calm enough to sleep under
Star wallpaper and cloud wallpaper are the nursery classics, and for good reason: a scattered pattern of stars or a sky of soft clouds fills the wall without making the room busy. Moons and rainbows belong here too. Printed on non-woven wallpaper and made to measure, so the scatter carries neatly into the corner.
Want the sky with planets and rockets? See space wallpaper. Looking for something calmer still, with no motif at all, plain and pastel is the next step. Most star designs sit in Sam & Luca and Puck & Rose.
Car and Vehicle Wallpaper: Trains, Tractors and Diggers
Vehicle wallpaper: from digger to aeroplane
Car wallpaper is a standing favourite, but the group is wider than that: trains and trams, tractors and diggers, fire engines, trucks, boats and aeroplanes. Often as a scatter that fills the whole wall, sometimes as one large scene. All printed on non-woven wallpaper at your wall size, so you do not cut the digger in half.
Rockets live in space rather than here, and boats on open water in sea. For tipis, pirates and campfires, adventure is the neighbour. Look especially in Sam & Luca and Kate & Andy.
Unicorn and Princess Wallpaper: Castles, Fairies and Magic
Unicorn and princess wallpaper: our smallest facet, deliberately
Unicorn wallpaper and princess wallpaper form a deliberately small, sharp group: unicorns, castles, fairies and crowns, and nothing else. We have not padded the facet with everything pink or pastel, because then a search for “unicorn wallpaper” lands on a stripe. What is here is printed on non-woven wallpaper and made to measure.
If it is really the soft colour you are after, plain and pastel offers far more choice, and for flowers in the same mood flowers is wider. The magical designs sit mainly in Sam & Luca.
Space Wallpaper for Kids: Planets, Rockets and Astronauts
Space wallpaper: planets, rockets and the whole solar system
Space wallpaper works best when it is allowed to be big. Planets, rockets, astronauts and galaxies ask for scale, and that is exactly what printing to measure gives you: the solar system is scaled to your wall instead of to a standard roll width. Printed on non-woven wallpaper, paste the wall.
If you only want the night sky without rockets, stars and clouds is calmer. For vehicles with their wheels on the ground, see vehicles. The space designs are in Sam & Luca and Puck & Rose.
Sea Wallpaper for Kids: Underwater, Fish and Mermaids
Sea wallpaper: underwater, on the beach or somewhere in between
Sea wallpaper runs from calm to exuberant: waves and shells in two colours, or an underwater world full of fish, whales, dolphins and mermaids. Pirate ships and anchors belong here too. Printed on non-woven wallpaper and made to your wall size, so the horizon sits at the right height.
For animals on land see animals, and for pirates ashore adventure. Most underwater designs sit in Sam & Luca and Kate & Andy.
Dinosaur Wallpaper for Kids: T-rex, Brachiosaurus and Prehistoric Forest
Dinosaur wallpaper: the motif children stay loyal to for years
Dinosaur wallpaper lasts a long time in a child’s room. From finely drawn silhouettes in a single colour to a complete prehistoric landscape with T-rex and brachiosaurus. We print on non-woven wallpaper and scale the design to your wall, so you decide whether the dinosaurs are small and scattered or life-sized beside the bed.
For present-day animals, animals is the place, and the prehistoric green sits well next to jungle and safari. Most dinosaurs are in Olive & Noah and Sam & Luca.
Floral Wallpaper for Kids: Boho, Blossom and Botanical
Floral wallpaper for the nursery: softer than the grown-up floral
Floral wallpaper for children is its own category, not a shrunken version of the grown-up floral. Loose boho flower fields, small blossom branches, fine leaves in two colours: soft enough for a nursery and not immediately too young for an eight-year-old. Printed on non-woven wallpaper, made to measure per wall.
If it is the birds or butterflies among them you are really after, see animals. For large leaves and rainforest, jungle and safari is the next step. The richest florals are in Morris & Milla and Sofie & Junar.
Adventure Wallpaper for Kids: Tipis, Pirates, Mountains and Maps
Adventure wallpaper: tipis, pirates, mountains and maps
Adventure wallpaper is the group for children who want to explore. Tipis and campfires, pirates and treasure maps, mountains, camouflage and world maps. These designs are often large and narrative, which is exactly where made-to-measure printing pays off: you decide which part of the map lands above the desk. On non-woven wallpaper.
Pirates at sea also appear in sea, and if it is really the vehicles you want, see vehicles. The most adventurous designs are in Puck & Rose and Sam & Luca.
Plain Wallpaper for Kids: Pastel, Stripes, Dots and Checks
Plain and pastel wallpaper: the wall that lets the rest work
Plain wallpaper is there for the other three walls. Flat fields of pastel colour, fine stripes, small dots, checks, triangles and brick motifs: no depicted subject, only colour and rhythm. That makes it the logical counterpart to one wall full of jungle or dinosaurs. On non-woven wallpaper, printed to measure per wall.
Combine it with a motif wall from jungle and safari or animals, or keep it entirely calm and choose colour alone. The widest choice of plains and mix-and-match sits in Sam & Luca and Kate & Andy.
Thomas made to measure: a 53 cm repeat next to a full wall
This book sets traditional non-woven wallpaper with a small repeat next to large wall filling designs. That is practical, but it raises a question: a pattern that repeats every 53 centimetres rarely works out exactly on the width of your wall, so left and right you end up with half a diamond or a cut off stripe.
Because we make the designs ourselves, we calculate that division in advance and centre the pattern, so both sides end with the same shape. If the patterned wall adjoins a wall with a large scene, we match the height so the pattern does not start halfway up the scene.
Everything is printed on non-woven wallpaper and made to measure per wall, paste on the wall. How to hang it is in our step by step guide for non-woven wallpaper. More than half of the collection falls under plain and pastel, with camouflage in adventure.
From wall measurement to order
The difference between a roll off the shelf and children's wallpaper from Designerwand is not the print but the step before it. We design all ten collections ourselves and hold the original files, so you are not buying a fixed roll but a wall. You give us the width and the height, and what will stand against it.
With those measurements we lay the design out again: the motif scaled to your wall, the busiest zone away from the head of the bed, and nothing cut off halfway in the corner or at a dormer. If a size does not fit, we scale it rather than have you pick a different design. Want to see it first? Then we put it in a photo of the room itself with a simulation.
Everything is printed per wall on non-woven wallpaper: the paste goes on the wall, you do not need a pasting table, and redoing one wall later is possible without touching the rest. How to hang it is in our step by step guide for non-woven wallpaper, and for ideas on laying out the room there is our blog about wallpaper for the children's room.
Jungle wallpaper made to measure: leaves that follow your sloping ceiling
Children's rooms are often in the loft, and that is exactly where a standard roll gives up. A sloping ceiling, a dormer or a knee wall means every strip has a different height, and with large palm leaves you see immediately where someone had to cut. Because we are the designers, we lay the jungle out again for each wall.
Send us the measurements of the slope as well and we let the leaves follow it instead of running into it. We keep large monstera whole where you actually look, and fill the narrow pieces beside the dormer with quieter foliage.
Printed on non-woven wallpaper, made to measure per wall, paste on the wall. Think your loft is too awkward? Read our blog There is often more possible than you think. Looking for the animals without the jungle? Then animal wallpaper is the place, and for calmer foliage without creatures try flowers.
Animal wallpaper made to measure: the bear looks your child in the eye
A three year old takes in the room at about a metre off the floor, an adult at one and a half. With a standard roll the repeat decides where the bear's head ends up, and surprisingly often that is behind the changing table or just under the skirting. We design our patterns ourselves and hold the original files, so we get to decide that height.
Send us the width and the height of the wall, and tell us what will stand against it: a bed, a chest of drawers, a low cupboard. We then move the animals up into the free zone above it and keep the busiest part away from the head of the bed, so it stays calm where the sleeping happens.
Everything is printed per wall on non-woven wallpaper, so the paste goes on the wall and you do not need a pasting table. Our step by step guide for non-woven wallpaper explains exactly how. If the animal really belongs in the jungle, have a look at jungle and safari.
Star wallpaper made to measure: no half moon in the corner
A scattered pattern looks like the easiest design there is, until you look at the edges. That is exactly where a standard roll shows its hand: a whole star on the left, a quarter on the right, and above the cot a moon cut in half by the corner. We hold the original files, so we only divide up the stars once we know your wall size.
We centre the pattern on the wall so both sides end with a whole shape, and we look at where the bed or the changing table will go. Above a headboard we keep the sky quiet, because a child lying in bed looks at that the longest.

Vehicle wallpaper made to measure: the wheels at the right height
In a scene with vehicles everything hangs on one line: the ground the wheels stand on. Set it too low and the digger disappears behind the bed. Set it too high and the cars seem to float. We design the patterns ourselves, so we can move that horizon, which a fixed roll height simply cannot.
Tell us how high the bed, the desk or the play mat will come and we put the road line just above it. We rescale a scattered pattern of cars so the little tractor is not cut off halfway down the skirting and no half fire engine ends up in the corner.
All on non-woven wallpaper, printed per wall, paste on the wall. Papering several walls in a row? Then look at the order in which to hang the strips. Rockets are not here but in space, and for tipis and treasure maps adventure is the neighbour.
Unicorn wallpaper made to measure: something of your own from ten designs
This is deliberately the smallest facet we have, and that makes made to measure matter more here than anywhere else. With ten designs there is a good chance you like one but not in that colour, or not at that size. Because we are the designers and hold the original files, that is a starting point rather than a dead end.
We scale the unicorn up for a wall behind the bed or down for the strip above the chest of drawers, and we can move the background colour to match the rest of the room. If a full wall design does not fit, we lift the castle or the unicorn out as a single element, for instance as a wall circle.
Whatever you choose is printed on non-woven wallpaper and made to measure per wall. Want to go one step further and add your child's name? Read about personalised children's wallpaper. If it is mainly the soft colour you are after, plain and pastel offers far more choice.
Space wallpaper made to measure: the solar system in proportion
Space is the motif where scale does everything. A solar system on half a wall is a picture; the same system across three metres is a room a child moves into. A standard roll forces you into the scale the factory chose. We design our own, so we scale the image to your wall width, not to a roll width.
When laying it out we watch two things: that the large planet does not land right behind the cupboard, and that the proportions between the planets still hold when the whole thing grows or shrinks. Want just part of the system above the desk? Then we cut that crop for you.
Deep, dark backgrounds come out best printed matt on non-woven wallpaper, with no sheen bouncing the ceiling light back. Unsure about such a dark wall in a child's room? Request a simulation of your own room. Looking for just the night sky without rockets? Then stars and clouds is calmer.
Sea wallpaper made to measure: the waterline at the right height
With a sea design one line decides whether it works: the change from water to sky. If it falls right behind the headboard, all you see of the whole underwater world is the sky. If it falls too low, the fish disappear behind the bed. Because we are the designers, we fix that height per room instead of letting a roll decide it.
Tell us how high the bed will come and we set the horizon just above it, so the whale or the mermaid swims at eye level. Waves and shells meant only as a border we keep at a height where a child can touch them.
Everything is printed on non-woven wallpaper and made to measure per wall, paste on the wall. More ideas for laying out a child's room are in our blog about wallpaper for the children's room. Looking for pirates ashore? Then adventure is the place, and for animals on land animals.
Dinosaur wallpaper made to measure: the same design, any size
Dinosaurs stay popular for years, but the scale that suits a four year old is childish to an eight year old. That is exactly what you cannot adjust with a standard roll: the size is fixed in the product. We hold the original files for every design, so the same T-rex can be small and scattered or life-size beside the bed.
When laying it out we also look at where the big dinosaur lands. Behind a cupboard or half behind a door is a waste, so we move it onto the open surface and let the smaller silhouettes fill the edges. Want just the head, large, above the desk? Then we make that crop.
Printed on non-woven wallpaper, made to measure per wall, paste on the wall. If you later want to replace just that one wall as your child grows out of it, non-woven makes that straightforward: see our step by step guide for non-woven wallpaper. The prehistoric green sits well next to jungle and safari.
Children's floral wallpaper made to measure: the bloom sets the age
In a floral design for children the age is not in the colour but in the size of the bloom. Fine blossom on a soft ground reads as a baby's room; the same drawing twice as large reads as the room of an eight year old. Because we are the designers, we can shift that scale without you having to pick a different pattern.
That means a room can grow with the child without you hunting for something new in the same colours. When laying it out we keep the flower fields whole where you actually look, and make sure no bloom is cut in half by the corner.
All on non-woven wallpaper, printed per wall, paste on the wall. Torn between two scales? With a simulation we put them side by side in a photo of the room itself. Are there birds or butterflies among them that are what you actually want? Then look at animals.
Adventure wallpaper made to measure: you choose which part of the map you see
Adventure designs tell a story: a world map, a treasure map, a mountain range running left to right. In a design like that not every part is equally interesting, and a standard roll does not let you choose which part you get. We design our own and hold the complete file, so the crop is yours to decide.
Want South America above the desk rather than the ocean? Then we shift the map. If a bookcase goes against the wall, we make sure the busiest corner of the design lands there and the open part stays at eye level. That way the best piece does not disappear behind your furniture.
Printed on non-woven wallpaper, made to measure per wall, paste on the wall. Papering two walls that meet? Then look at the order of hanging. Pirates at sea are also in sea, and if it is mainly the vehicles you want, look at vehicles.
Plain wallpaper made to measure: no repeat, so any wall width works
Plain wallpaper has no depicted subject and therefore no repeat that has to work out. That makes this the one group where width is never a problem: 2.40 metres or 5.15 metres makes no difference, there is no motif to be cut off halfway. What does count is the colour, and we can adjust that because we make the files ourselves.
That is exactly what these walls are for: next to one wall full of jungle or dinosaurs. We match the plain tone or the fine stripe to the motif wall you have chosen, instead of leaving you to match loose colour cards yourself. With a small check or dot we do make sure the rhythm ends neatly in the corner.
Printed on non-woven wallpaper, made to measure per wall, paste on the wall. Want to see the combination first? With a simulation we put the motif wall and the plain wall in a photo of the room. Combine it with a motif wall from jungle and safari or animals.
