Kids Playroom Wallpaper They Will Not Outgrow
Playroom wallpaper is a wall covering made for the room where your kids play. Think maps, rainbows, animals, roads and friendly cartoon scenes. It turns a plain box room into somewhere they want to be.
Giffywalls prints every playroom wall mural to the exact size of your wall. We have shipped these designs to basements, spare rooms and corners of living rooms across the country. The question we get most is simple. Will they grow out of it? Pick well and they will not.
Design Ideas That Last
Maps and Learning Walls
A world map is the safest long play. It looks good at four and still works at twelve. Kids point at it, ask questions and learn without trying. Our kids map wallpaper is a favorite for shared rooms.
Rainbows and Shapes
Big arcs and simple shapes bring color without a theme to outgrow. They suit toddlers best. Look through the rainbow wallpaper designs for the softer end.
Animals and Story Scenes
Jungle, woodland and farm scenes give a room a story. Kids name the animals and make up games around them. Keep the drawing gentle rather than loud, and it will last longer.
How to Plan the Room
Make it one playroom accent wall, not four papered ones. A playroom is already full of color. Toys, mats, books and bins bring plenty of their own. Four busy walls make the room feel loud and hard to tidy.
Pick the wall they face when they play. That is usually the one behind the table or the reading corner. Leave the wall behind the storage plain. Shelves and boxes cover it anyway, and a good mural gets wasted there.
Choosing Colors That Do Not Wear Out
Bright primary colors look great in a photo. They can feel loud after a month. A softer palette is easier to live with, especially if the playroom sits off a living room. Sage, dusty blue, blush, cream and soft yellow all work. Save the strong color for the toys and the rug. Those are quick and easy to swap. The wall is not.
Making It Last as They Grow
This is the part worth thinking about. A four-year-old and a nine-year-old want different rooms. Themes date fastest. Cartoon characters date fastest of all.
Safer picks are maps, sky and cloud designs, mountains, simple shapes and gentle animals. All of them still read well later. If you do want a strong theme, keep it to one wall so it is quick to change. Our wider kids room wallpaper range covers both routes.
Shared Rooms and Split Ages
Plenty of playrooms serve two kids at once. A five-year-old and a ten-year-old rarely want the same wall. The fix is to go neutral on the mural and personal everywhere else. A map, a sky or a mountain range suits both. Then let each child own their own corner with prints, shelves and a rug they picked. The wall stays the calm part. That way you are not repapering every time one of them changes their mind.
Practical Points for a Busy Room
Playrooms take a beating. Sticky hands, chair backs, ride-on toys and tape all land on the walls. A patterned wall hides marks far better than flat paint does. A mid-tone design hides them best of all. Pure white shows every fingerprint.
One more tip. Leave a lower strip clear or plan for a low shelf, so the artwork you care about sits above the mess. That way the good part stays visible.
Sizing, Finish and Fitting
Send us the width and height of your wall. We scale the design to fit, so nothing important lands behind a door. Peel and stick playroom wallpaper suits a cartoon wallpaper scene you may want to swap in a few years. Choose paste the wall for something you plan to keep. Panels arrive numbered, with hanging notes in the box. Shipping is free on every order.

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.
