How to find a golden mean so as not to miss your child and at the same time not prevent him from developing as a person? Yes, there are difficulties at every step. Take at least the wallpaper in the nursery. For a teenager, this is his personal territory, but for you it is still a nursery and part of your home. It would be the will of your child - the wallpaper would certainly be black, this is the most popular color at this age. And it is possible that skulls and bones would be used as a drawing - you will definitely be hit by such a design. Let's approach the repair from the other side: consider a compromise that will suit the underage owner of the room and will not shock you every day. It's not that hard.

What type of wallpaper is better to choose in a teenager's room
This is a fundamental question: it's not only about durability and quality, but also about price and final design.
Paper
There are two reasons why paper wallpapers are chosen: they have a very large assortment and they are the cheapest. But there's something else: these wallpapers are environmentally friendly because they're just made out of paper, and they don't make the room airtight because they breathe.
And, in principle, such wallpapers are different for wallpaper. It's not just about paper tape. There are, for example, duplex or triplex paper wallpapers, which consist of two or three layers of paper. Unlike simplex, single-layer paper wallpapers, they have a high density and hide the bumps on the walls well.
By the way, paper wallpapers can be waterproof. For a children's room, this is not so important, because we are no longer talking about an unintelligent baby, but teenagers sometimes have unpredictable circumstances, so it would be nice to be able to do at least wet cleaning, and with the current situation with viral infections, sanitizing from time to time did not hurt would.
Non-woven and based on non-woven
At the heart of non-woven wallpaper is a non-woven fabric made of cellulose. In principle, it is also an environmentally friendly material with a natural origin. Non-woven wallpaper has excellent vapor permeability.
There are wallpapers that are simply non-woven, that is, they consist of cellulose, and there are those based on non-woven fabric - these have a second layer, usually vinyl, but here they have completely different characteristics. 100% non-woven has a smooth or textured surface, they are used for painting and glued to corn starch or PVA glue. Interlining is good because, with sufficient density and relief, it hides small defects and even holds small cracks in the plaster.
But vinyl wallpaper on non-woven is a completely different material. It is dense, airtight, durable, can even be washed with a brush. It's such a durable option, but to be honest, it's more suited to a hallway or kitchen than a living room.
Acrylic and textile
Acrylic wallpaper is a novelty, and, frankly, rather dubious for a teenage room. Its basis is paper, and acrylic polymer has already been applied on it. Such wallpapers should be washed, which is not bad, but gluing them is a real hassle. And in the process of operation, they are quite fragile and delicate. The slightest nuisance, like being hit by a ball, and get ready for repairs. Well, the price of high-quality wallpaper of this type is not particularly encouraging.
Of the expensive finishes, you can also consider fabric wallpapers. They always look stylish due to the texture. Fabric wallpapers are made on the basis of interlining or paper with a second layer of linen.
Glass fiber
And you know, modern technologies still have their own masterpieces. Take, for example, cullet: inexpensive and very durable - that's what you can say about them. These wallpapers are glued for painting. If we consider them in the context of a room for a teenager, then why not? A fiberglass wallpaper with an expressive structure can be repainted at least 8 times. So your capricious child can change the shade in his room at least every year. In any case, repainting is much easier than re-gluing.
Liquid, bamboo, cork
Yes, there are many more alternatives. Taking liquid wallpaper is a completely working option, especially if you have problematic walls. Their advantage for teenage rooms is high maintainability. A problem has arisen - a piece of the coating is cleaned and a new clean layer is applied.
Cork wallpaper can also be considered - they have their own "trick": they soundproof the room well. It is useful if the child is fond of loud music.
Color schemes for a teenage room
In order not to lose contact with your child in such a difficult adolescence, you need to look for compromises. You can choose your favorite beige and insist on it, but then deprive your child of the opportunity to show individuality and decide something on their own for the first time. It is necessary to gently and competently direct it in the right direction, give reasonable options for consideration.
Yes, it is not yet very clear to a teenager that a black room does not have a very good effect on the psyche. But why not find an acceptable option, for example, make only one wall black. And then a couple of bright posters or a photo gallery will appear on it - and it will no longer be so gloomy. You can paint the cullet with graphite paint and offer to draw on them. Children and children at the age of 14 - just give them chalk in their hands.
This is a very exciting shade, which can adversely affect both the psyche and academic success. If your dispute rests on this particular color, persuade a calm red in some muted range.
This color has a relaxing effect. After intense study and active communication, a room in such colors will calm and allow you to have a good rest.
A room in such colors will be bright, light and versatile: for both a boy and a girl. It goes well with other colors, such as cheerful orange.
Since no one knows your child's character traits better than you, see what suits him best. Bright colors are shown to quiet people and lazy people, because they encourage action, calm shades will allow those who are unsure of children to feel more confident, and light shades will make your child more sociable and positive.
In any case, the shade should be discussed and listened to the opinion of the teenager. Let your child feel like the master of his room.
How not to miss the pattern on the wallpaper
Another factor for choosing wallpaper is, of course, the pattern. What do you need to get rid of in the first place? Of course, from the style of the interior and the preferences of the owner of the room. If your child is fond of sports, loft, avant-garde or high-tech will suit him. For creative natures, you can also choose a loft, avant-garde or kitsch. Young programmers and computer scientists will appreciate hi-tech and constructivism, philosophers - oriental motifs, tourists and travelers - marine style or safari. Princess girls will prefer something in a classic style or with baroque delights, needlewomen will be delighted with Provence and shabby chic. Dreamy and mystical natures will feel quite comfortable in Gothic design.
But remember: today a teenager is fond of music, and tomorrow - sports. Therefore, it would be nice if his bedroom was transformed with him, and preferably in such a way as not to strain your family budget too much.
And now about the drawing. As you already understood, a monophonic option will be a universal option, so we are returning to glass wallpaper and their resistance to repeated repainting.
All other options no longer tolerate a sudden transformation. Stripes and geometric patterns are quite neutral - not bad for a teenager's room either.
Separately, it is worth talking about photo wallpaper - that's what will help make the room individual. For teenagers, there are many options. Of course, we are no longer talking about cartoon characters and fairy-tale landscapes. In adolescence, children want to feel like adults, and it is very important for them what their girlfriends and buddies will see when they come to visit.
What stories will be in demand? Anime, comics - for those children who remember this sense, but not everyone watches such films, so this issue must be discussed.
As for flowers, this is a moot point. Perhaps glamorous young ladies will be happy with this option.
What you definitely don’t like is angels, different arches and Italian streets, monograms and 3D flowers.
