On Saturday, when I was at BlogCamp in Birmingham, the venue that it was being held at had a feature wall that was covered in wallpaper that could be coloured in!
A couple of the girls I was with commented how this would be great wallpaper for a kid’s room so I thought I’d have a look for it and see what other cool kids wallpaper is on the market at the moment.
Here’s my top 5 round-up.
1. Magnetic Wallpaper — Sian Zeng
2. Frames Wallpaper — Taylor & Wood
3. Periodic Table Wallpaper — Mr Perswall
4. Colour-In-Wallpaper — Burgerdoodles
5. Quentin’s ABC Wallpaper — Osborne & Little
When I was pregnant with The Twinkles, as we didn’t know the sex of the babies, I opted for something unisex.
I was so happy with how the twin’s nursery turned out — and I absolutely love the wallpaper that we chose. Roll on a couple of years and their room is still relevant for their age group. It’s not too ‘babyish’ and still looks fresh.
But it’s so exciting thinking about how we’ll decorate when they’re a little bit older! So many cool kids wallpaper options around now — who knows what will be available by the time we get round to it?

Caro I noticed that paper too, how incredible and looks so so cool x
Amazing wasn’t it? I’d probably get a bit anally retentive about the boys colouring out of the lines and want to colour it in all myself!! I absolutely love the Periodic Table paper — I’d like it in my kitchen! :)
I want that colouring in wallpaper it is amazing. I might have to wait until the girls can colour in a bit better though as my OCD wouldn’t stand it otherwise!
Haha! I totally get that!! I’m a bit of a stickler for colouring in the lines too!! ;) X
I love all of them, this magnetic one is so cool! I would like to have a world map wallpaper!
World map wallpaper would be excellent! I’m useless at geography so having a constant reminder on the wall at home would be fabulous! :)
Wow fab paper! Thanks for sharing will absolutely be using these in the new house xx
SO excited for you that you’ll have a new house soon!! Oooh — a totally blank canvas!! Am a little bit envious!! ;) X
I would like the colouring in wallpaper! I really miss that my daughters don’t get colouring books anymore. I have one for when little visitors come to visit but I’ve nearly filled it ha! X
Aaah Lisa! You’d absolutely LOVE the adult colouring books I’ve got!! They’re SO beautiful — really intricate — and designed with ‘big kids’ in mind! :) I’ll be writing a post about them in the next week or so and will give you a shout when I’ve posted it, so you can see for yourself! x
Ha that’s so funny!I was just in your shop showing my husband your family recipe! Now I will have to order that print because once I was looking at it and then went to Jess’s blog and, she had one and just posted about it. Then I was looking just now when you were answering my comment – ha! Going to order now xxx I have heard of those books but not seen them, I will be very interested in your post xx
I like the idea of this, but it worries me too – what if they go over the lines? what if they move onto other wallpaper? (maybe they do that anyway) – but I think my worries say more about me, than anything else! It’s great to have so much choice in wallpaper now though isn’t it, and it means that no one needs to buy that horrible anaglypta-type stuff! #homecorner
Haha! Going over the lines would be inevitable with a little child, I think!! Totally agree though, about moving onto other wallpaper!!! That’s one reason why I wouldn’t be so keen. We’re so lucky these days aren’t we? SO much choice available! x
How cool is magnetic paper?? I want some!!!! This is a great selection, who knew wallpaper could be so much fun? Thank you so much for sharing in #KidsCorner x
Amazing isn’t it?! I’d LOVE some magnetic paper! It would certainly save having to stick everything onto my fridge!! Could just peg everything to the wall! ;)
Oh wow love the idea of colouring in wallpaper although id wait until mine can stay in the lines a little better hehe ;) thanks for linking up to #kidscorner xx
Haha! Me too Amy ;) Or I would keep it for myself — maybe I’ll paper my new garden office in it! x
What fantastic wallpaper, I love the colouring in one =)
Me too Jenni! It definitely appeals to the creative side of me!! ;)
Love them all! Do you think it would be over the top to have them all? #homecorner
Not at all Lindy! One on each wall maybe? I think that would work!! ;)
