Kids Room Wallpaper Ideas: 8 Themes Children Love

Kids space wallpaper with cartoon planets, rockets and astronaut

A child's bedroom is where they sleep, play, learn and dream. The right wallpaper can turn four plain walls into a little world of their own. Here are eight themes children love, with tips on choosing a design that lasts.

1. World maps

A world map wall is decorative and educational. Younger children enjoy maps filled with animals and landmarks; older kids can grow into political maps with country names. See our kids map wallpaper.

2. Outer space

Planets, rockets, astronauts and stars are a favorite for curious minds. Space murals work for toddlers and teens alike. Explore space wallpaper.

3. Safari and jungle animals

Lions, giraffes, elephants and monkeys create a warm, adventurous atmosphere. Soft watercolor versions suit nurseries; brighter designs suit playrooms.

4. Woodland and forest

Foxes, owls, bears and pine trees bring a calm, natural feel – a great gender-neutral choice.

5. Rainbows and clouds

Soft rainbows, clouds and balloons are cheerful without being overwhelming. Pastel tones keep a nursery restful.

6. Under the sea

Whales, waves and colorful fish make a peaceful, dreamy room – and pair well with blue and white furniture.

7. Dinosaurs

A prehistoric mural is a guaranteed hit with dinosaur fans and makes a great feature wall behind the bed.

8. Sports

Soccer, basketball and graffiti-style designs suit older kids and teens who want a room that feels more grown-up.

Tips for choosing kids room wallpaper

  • Think about age: a design that is too babyish may need replacing in a few years. Maps, forests and space themes tend to last longer.
  • Choose one feature wall: a mural on the wall behind the bed gives impact while keeping the room calm for sleep.
  • Go removable: peel and stick wallpaper makes it easy to change the theme as your child grows.
  • Match the mood: soft, muted colors for sleep spaces; brighter, bolder designs for playrooms.
