Transportation Wallpaper

What Transportation Wallpaper Is and Why It Suits Kids

Transportation wallpaper is a wall mural full of things that move, from planes and trains to cars, trucks, boats and balloons. One transportation mural covers every favorite at once. That is why it suits nurseries, kids rooms and playrooms.

Giffywalls prints every mural to the exact size of your wall. We have shipped these murals to nurseries, box rooms and playrooms across the country. Parents tell us the same thing. A mixed theme buys them years, because the child never has to pick just one.

Why a Mixed Theme Beats a Single One

Some children lock on to one thing. Diggers, or rockets, or nothing but boats. Plenty of others love the whole moving world. A mixed wall serves both.

It also ages well. A child who is mad about trucks at three may be mad about planes at six. The wall still fits, and you save yourself a redecorate.

Where It Works Best

Nurseries

Keep it soft here. Pale skies, small vehicles, gentle hills. Our nursery wallpaper range holds more in the same quiet key. It will still suit the room when the cot becomes a bed.

Kids Bedrooms

One wall behind the bed is the classic spot. Keep the other three plain so the room settles down at night. A busy wall and a busy room do not mix.

Playrooms

Here you can go big. A full scene with roads, rails, runways and a harbour gives a child plenty to point at. Add a plain rug so the floor stays calm.

How Busy Should the Wall Be?

This is the choice that matters most. A packed scene is exciting and best in a playroom. A scattered repeat of small vehicles is much calmer, and it suits a bedroom or a nursery. A single vehicle type on a plain ground is calmer still. Think about where the child sleeps. A wall you look at from a pillow should be quieter than a wall you play in front of.

Styles You Will Find Here

The theme covers a lot of ground. There are painted scenes with roads winding into hills. There are flat graphic repeats in two or three colors. There are cartoon vehicles with faces. There are old poster styles with bold type. And there are cutaway maps that show a whole town at work. The wider vehicles wallpaper range lets you narrow it to one favorite, and our kids room wallpaper range covers other themes.

Colors to Build Around

Keep the room simple around a busy wall. White or pale gray paint lets the mural lead. Primary red, yellow and blue pick up the vehicles. Navy and forest green calm things down. Wood furniture warms it up. Skip a second pattern in the room, because two busy things cancel each other out.

Care and Cleaning

Kids rooms take a beating. Our matte print finish wipes clean with a damp cloth, so sticky hands are not a disaster. Work gently and let it dry. Keep a small offcut from the job. If a panel takes a knock later, a patch is quick and easy.

Sizing, Finish and Fitting

Send us the width and the height of the wall. We scale the art to match, so a plane never lands half cut in a corner. Peel and stick is the smart pick for a child's room. It is a removable wallpaper finish, so the theme can change in an hour when tastes move on. Paste the wall suits a longer term room. Panels arrive numbered with hanging notes in the box. Shipping is free on every order.
