Wallpaper is the perfect choice for a child's bedroom - and you can get some really fun and funky designs that just wouldn't work in other rooms in your home.

2/9 Children’s room with nautical striped wallpaper
A nautical theme is always a safe bet for a boy's bedroom. Striped wallpaper looks especially seaworthy when running horizontally with a cream and blue contrast. A decorative life buoy and boat shelves keep the look young at heart, while turquoise bed linen and furniture pick out the aqua tones on the wall. Keep the clutter hidden in storage trunks ready for an ocean voyage.
