Wall tattoos offer a magical way to decorate a baby's room with minimal DIY effort. It's best to choose child-friendly motifs such as cute animals or idyllic houses and place them above the changing table, for example. This way, your little one will always have something beautiful to look at while changing.

Tips for your baby room with wall tattoos

  • Quality: Choose high-quality wall tattoos that are easy to apply and can be removed without leaving any residue. If you are not sure whether the wall tattoo will stick to your wall, you can order a free adhesive sample from Limmaland and test the adhesion in advance.
  • Choice of motif: Choose child-friendly motifs that create a loving atmosphere in the baby's room.
  • Placement: Place the wall tattoo as an eye-catcher above the changing table, cot or next to the wardrobe.

2. Wall stickers

Wall stickers make decorating the baby's room child's play. Just a sticker here, a sticker there, and the bare baby room walls look inviting. The best thing about it? The choice is huge! Wall stickers are available in every imaginable shape, colour and size. Choose motifs with lots of creative freedom, such as colourful circles, stars or planets, and design the baby room to suit your taste.

Tips for your baby room with wall stickers

  • Choice of motif: Experiment with different shapes and colours. For example, how about pink stars on the cot or a small DINO above the light switch?
  • Arrangement: Create a lively environment by placing the wall stickers at different heights and in irregular patterns. Feel free to experiment, as the sticker sets from Limmaland are easy to remove and reposition.

3. Wall shelves

Wall shelves are not only practical, but also a decorative element for the baby room. They offer a stylish way to display cute soft toys, books and other accessories. And if you combine them with a matching wall sticker, they become a real eye-catcher in the room.

Tips for your baby room with wall shelves

  • Storage space: Use shelves on the wall to store practical items such as nappies, care products or toys within easy reach.
  • Decoration: Decorate the shelves with cute baskets, books or small decorative objects to brighten up the room and display your favourite things.
  • Safety: Wall shelves should always be installed properly so that they cannot pose a risk of falling. When choosing shelves, also look for rounded edges to further increase safety.

4. Furniture foil

Baby room decoration: the right wall colour

The right wall colour is the key to a harmonious and cheerful atmosphere in your baby's room. The colour you choose can have a big impact on your baby's mood and well-being. It is therefore important to make this decision carefully and consider the following aspects.

Popular colours in the baby room

Soft pastel shades and calm wall colours are a hit in the baby room! But it doesn't have to be pink and light blue. A beautiful mint, grey and mustard can also be combined beautifully in the baby room. The soft colours give the room a peaceful and calming atmosphere, while at the same time filling the room with brightness without overstimulating. And the best thing? You can combine them perfectly with accents in stronger colours to give the room a lively touch.

But don't worry if pastel colours aren't your thing! Ultimately, the most important thing is that the baby room bears your personal signature and creates a loving, inviting environment in which your little one feels safe and secure.

Here are some examples to help you choose the right wall colour and decorations for your baby's room.

1. Soft grey

Opt for a soft grey that doesn't overwhelm the room but creates a calm environment. Combine the grey with white accents for a modern touch. As grey is timeless and versatile, you can combine it with different decorative elements and colours. Perfect, right?

2. Soft beige

Opt for a soft beige colour that makes the room look friendly and calming. Combine it with natural materials such as wood to create a cosy atmosphere in which you can only feel comfortable.

3. Calming green

Choose a soft shade of green to create a relaxing and refreshing environment in the baby room. Combine the light pastel colour with other shades of green or warm earth tones to create a natural warmth in the room. .

Tips for colour combinations & accents

  • Colour accents: Use accent colours such as yellow, pink or light blue to create playful contrasts. Make sure that the colours harmonise well with each other and create a balanced overall effect.
  • Patterns: Consider using patterns to add a cheerful touch to the baby room. Wallpaper with child-orientated motifs or geometric patterns can be an interesting design idea.
  • Accent wall: Emphasise a single wall as an accent wall by painting it a different colour or having it covered with wallpaper. This allows you to add depth and personality to the room.
