By: Neil Maycock Home | Home-and-Family | Home-Improvement


Finding the right wall covering for a child's room should not be a chore. Parents are faced with a world of options but have the problem of trying to create wall coverings that are stimulating but not going to keep the child up all night.
In the past parents used a coat of paint for a child's wall covering. In todays world parents want to create a fun space and a simple coat of paint is not enough. Wall coverings now include: Wall paper, wall stickers, paints, stensils and much more.

Wall paper is a great solution to your child's wall covering needs. It can be rather quick and easy to put up, is almost always wipe clean, and doesn't fade for years and years. Anyone using wall paper as a wall covering needs to first measure the room, and look at the pattern on the roll of wall paper. In order to buy the correct amount of wall covering one needs to know how much of the roll will be cut off in order to match it to the previous piece.

Wall Stickers are another great idea. Spruce up an exsisting wall paper or paint wall covering. They don't damage walls as they are specially made to be taken off. In order to apply wall stickers you simply insure the wall is clean and dry and press on smoothly. They can be wiped clean. For younger children the main hesitation in using wall stickers for wall coverings is the urge of young fingers to pick at stickers.

In days of old, paint came in three main types Glossy and Semi-Gloss and Mat. You chose one as your wall covering and then called it done. To keep your child's wall covering up to date using a combination of paints as a wall covering is ideal. Combine them with stensils to add flair.

Glow in the dark paint can be used to accent areas and comes in many colors. Using glow-in-the-dark paint as a child's wall covering can help their room be more exciting at night and help them fall asleep in a light glow. Metalic paints can add a bright, shiney focal point in any room. Try using a stensil to creat murals on exsisting walls. This would be an inexpensive way to add sparkle to old wall coverings.

So wheather you decide to use stickers, stensils, paint or wall paper as a wall covering, the main point is to have fun and get creative.
