A baby’s room should be bright and stimulating. Research has repeatedly shown that babies’ brains are stimulated by patterns and colors. It is obvious that you should cover the walls of the baby nursery with the best stimulating wallpaper.
Manufacturers were encouraged to offer multiple textures and patterns of baby nursery wallpaper in response to the findings of various scientific studies. The innovative way of creating a stimulating and beautiful baby’s room has made baby nursery wallpaper the top trend with parents.
Striped Wallpaper Stimulates Baby’s Eyes and Mind
The most effective visual patterns for stimulating kids’ brains and developing their eyesight have been identified by child psychologists. Stripes of black and white stimulate the development of the retina and optic nerves, which, in turn, stimulates brain development. In fact, doctors recommend surrounding your baby with stripes on everything from sheets and blankets to nursery wallpaper. They even suggest dressing babies in striped clothing!
If you truly can’t abide a black and white pattern, choose a striped wallpaper pattern that features dark and light colors with high contrast. If you don’t want to use literal stripes in your baby’s room, consider a botanical nursery wallpaper pattern that simulates stripes, or a maze pattern with stripes.
Mix-and-Match Nursery Wallpaper Designs for Contrast
You can use a striped wallcovering for only part of the nursery and add other patterns that will create high contrast and visual interest for your baby. Another study indicates that babies’ eyes are stimulated by geometric shapes and patterns. Again, black and white are best, but choosing a wallpaper design with some red in the pattern also can be beneficial.
A black triangle on a white background, target patterns, and diagonal stripes are particularly useful. It’s also possible to mix and match decals or borders with your nursery wallpaper to create a visually stimulating space for your newborn.
Choose Cleanable Nursery Wallpaper for Peace of Mind
Parents naturally want the best for their babies. Well-being and good health is the most important thing that parents want their babies to have and enjoy. In the olden days, painting the walls of the nursery was seen as the traditional and acceptable way. However, the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in most paint brands has made painting the nursery walls a taboo practice today.
Nursery wallcoverings, specifically those types that are cleanable, pose no such chemical concerns. And, because washable wallcoverings can be wiped down and sanitized, cleaning becomes significantly easier. For busy parents who worry about their new baby’s health and well-being, this provides a twofold advantage and some much-needed peace of mind.
Today’s standard practice is to use chemical-free and easy to clean nursery wallpaper. Making the wallpapers easy to clean and sanitise while being chemical-free has made parents feel secure in using them on nursery walls.
