Children's wallpaper is a printed wall covering designed for children's bedrooms, playrooms and shared rooms, from woodland animals and storybook scenes to space, dinosaurs, world maps and pastel florals. Kids mural wallpaper turns one wall into a single, colourful scene, whether the room is a box room in a London flat or a bedroom in a Victorian terrace. Giffywalls specialises in custom-sized peel-and-stick wallpapers and large-scale murals, providing made-to-measure wall coverings for residential and commercial spaces.
Each children's wall mural is printed to the width and height of your wall in centimetres. Choose a peel and stick finish or a paste-the-paper finish, with free and fast shipping across the UK.

Toddler wallpaper works best with simple, friendly scenes that a young child can point at and name, such as animals, clouds or a gentle landscape. Choose a design that can grow with your child through the cot to bed move, then explore our toddler wall murals for designs made for this stage.
Wall Murals for Kids Rooms and Playrooms
- Kids bedrooms: a mural behind the bed creates a cosy focal point. Our kids room wallpaper has more bedroom designs.
- Playrooms: bolder scenes give children a world to play inside. See our playroom wallpaper for bright designs.
- Chimney breasts and alcoves: a mural on a chimney breast or in an alcove makes a natural feature in period homes from Bristol to Edinburgh.
- Reading corners: a calm storybook tree or soft woodland scene sits well behind a bookshelf.
- North facing rooms: warm peach, butter or soft coral scenes help a cooler room feel brighter, in homes from Manchester to Leeds.

What are children wallpaper murals?
Children wallpaper murals are large-scale printed wall coverings made for nurseries, toddler rooms, playrooms and kids bedrooms. They install panel by panel and cover a full accent wall. Most designs come in peel-and-stick or paste-the-wall finishes. Custom sizing means each panel fits the wall exactly, including walls with angled ceilings or unusual dimensions.
What themes are available in children's wallpaper murals?
Themes range from woodland animals, storybook scenes, world maps and watercolor florals to space adventures, dinosaur prints, safari animals, fairy gardens, under the sea scenes and soft pastel botanicals. Most collections separate boys room themes from girls room themes and include gender neutral options for shared bedrooms or nurseries where the baby's gender is not yet known.
Are children's wallpaper murals safe for a newborn nursery?
Yes. High-quality children's wallpaper murals use child-safe, low-VOC inks and breathable paper that does not off-gas like standard plastic-faced products. Air the room for at least 24 hours after installation before a newborn sleeps in the space. That step is good practice for any new decor in a baby's room.
Can children's wallpaper murals be removed without damaging walls?
Peel-and-stick children's wallpaper murals lift off cleanly from smooth, painted surfaces without adhesive residue. Apply to paint that has fully cured for at least two weeks. The same panels can re-stick to a new wall, which makes them a practical choice for renters or families who move frequently.
How do I measure a wall for a children's wallpaper mural?
Measure the wall's width and height in centimeters, measuring at both top and bottom since older homes are rarely perfectly square. Add a small overlap of two to three centimeters at each edge for trimming at the skirting board and ceiling. Order at the widest measurement. Most suppliers offer made-to-measure sizing so the mural arrives in exact-fit numbered panels.
What is the difference between peel-and-stick and paste-the-wall children's wallpaper murals?
Peel-and-stick is self-adhesive. It requires no paste, applies directly to the wall and removes cleanly, making it ideal for renters or those who want a temporary option. Paste-the-wall requires wallpaper adhesive and gives a more permanent, smooth finish suited to owned homes. Both finishes deliver the same print quality and wipeable surface.
How do I clean a children's wallpaper mural?
Wipe lightly with a damp microfiber cloth. Use plain water or a small amount of mild dish soap for sticky marks. Avoid bleach, abrasive sponges and spray cleaners near the printed surface. For sticky fingerprints, dab rather than scrub. With regular gentle cleaning, the print stays clear for years in normal family use.
