Playroom Wallpaper

Playroom wallpaper is a wall covering made for the room where children play. Maps, rainbows, animals and story scenes all suit it. Giffywalls prints each design to the exact width and height of your wall, so nothing important lands behind a door or a cupboard.

Choosing Playroom Wallpaper That Lasts

Children grow out of themes faster than parents expect. Cartoon characters date quickest. Maps, skies, mountains, simple shapes and gentle animals all last much longer. If you do want a strong theme, keep it to one wall. Changing one wall later is a Saturday job, not a project. A map is the safest pick of all. It looks right at four and still works at twelve.

For softer, longer-lasting designs, look through our wider children's wallpaper range, which covers everything from quiet shapes to full story walls.

Playrooms in British Homes

Loft Rooms and Box Rooms

Most playrooms here are small. A box room, a loft conversion, or the end of a through lounge. In a small space, paper one wall only. Four papered walls close a small room in fast. Choose a light ground and a simple pattern, and the room feels bigger than it is.

Period Homes and Rentals

In a Victorian house, work with the room. Paper the chimney breast, or the wall above a dado rail. Renting in London or Manchester? Peel and stick lifts off at the end of a tenancy without pulling the paint. Plenty of our cartoon wallpaper designs come that way.

Colours That Are Easy to Live With

Bright primaries look fun for a month. Then they start to shout. Sage, dusty blue, blush and soft cream are kinder, especially if the playroom opens off a sitting room. Let the toys and the rug carry the bright colour instead. Those are easy to swap when tastes change. A wall is not. It is the one part of the room you want to get right first time.

  • Small rooms: one papered wall, light ground.
  • Shared rooms: a map or sky that suits both ages.
  • Under-stairs nooks: a small repeat, nothing busy.
  • Loft playrooms: gentle animals on the end wall.

FAQs

Which materials is best for wallpaper?

Wallpapers are made from standard paper, canvas paper, premium paper, peel and stick materials for durability and style.

How Do I Measure My Wall for a Wall Mural?

Measure the wall's width and height, adding 2–4 inches for trimming. Check for obstacles like windows or doors and note their dimensions. Double-check measurements before ordering!

How Do I Order Custom Size Wallpaper or Wall Mural?

Pick a design, enter wall dimensions, choose material, and place your order. Contact support for help!

What wallpaper is best for a playroom?

Bright, joyful murals in a matte finish work best. Rainbows, cartoon animals, space scenes, and maps. Matte surfaces cut glare under play lighting, and peel and stick materials handle real-world knocks while lifting off cleanly when themes change.

How do I keep a playroom from feeling too busy?

Put the energy on one wall and keep the rest calm. A multicolor mural against white or light-gray walls and simple furniture reads playful, not chaotic. If the room doubles for homework or naps, choose pastels and move bold color into cushions and bins.

What playroom designs last as kids grow?

Choose one notch older than your child today. World maps, space scenes, and nature murals stay interesting from preschool through elementary years, while character-specific themes date fastest. Custom sizing also means the design can move rooms later without looking wrong.

Is playroom wallpaper printed to my exact wall size?

Yes. Enter your wall's width and height and we print the mural to your measurements as one continuous design, so rainbows and scenes land exactly where you want them with no awkward repeats. Panels arrive numbered and ready to hang.

Can playroom wallpaper survive actual kids?

The matte finish is durable and the peel and stick option is forgiving. It handles the occasional flying block and can be repositioned during hanging. If a panel ever suffers a true disaster, individual panels can be replaced without redoing the wall.
