Wall Decorations Your Child Will Love
Personalise your kids’ space with these brilliant suggestions for inventive decorations that won’t break the bank
Children love colour, pattern and bold designs, and their bedroom walls deserve to be adorned to reflect this passion. Luckily, you don’t need an art collector’s bank balance to decorate your son or daughter’s space. It’s all about getting creative! Forget pricey paintings and think beyond traditional framed pictures to embrace a world of inventive, and often inexpensive, decorative ideas that will give your child’s room bags of life and personality.

Hang a notice board
A pinboard makes a great addition to a boy or girl’s room. It allows them to fix any image they like to their wall, from postcards to certificates and drawings, and the display can easily be changed without damaging the wall itself.

Bring out the flags
Bunting is cheerful, colourful and flexible. It’s easy to make with just a sewing machine and a handful of fabric offcuts, and adds an undeniably jolly feel to any room. Pick the fabric to suit the child, from ticking stripes to cute florals.

World maps are a classic ingredient of any child’s room, but rather than sticking up a poster, source a wall-size map the child can easily study and interact with, adding flags to the places he or she has visited or would like to explore.
