What for the wall by your child's bed? Ideas for protecting the wall

What should the protection of the wall next to a child's bed look like? This question is asked by many parents who want to combine practical solutions with aesthetics. The wall in this area is particularly vulnerable to dirt and damage, but this can easily be prevented - all it takes is the use of functional covers. They not only provide protection, but also create a cosy atmosphere in your child's room.

Walls that get dirty quickly are a real nightmare. Constant repainting is a hassle, so let's use solutions that make life easier. Latex paints are one of them - they create a durable coating resistant to dirt, moisture and abrasion, and any stains can simply be wiped off with a damp cloth. However, if we are looking for more original solutions, there is a way! Here are some inspirations on how to protect the wall next to your child's bed.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO SECURE THE WALL BY YOUR CHILD'S BED?

The bed is the base for reading, playing, building forts out of blankets and watching stories. So it's not surprising that the wall next to it quickly bears the marks of use. Kids lean against it, which leaves stains and smudges. Coloured bedding can cause discolouration and moving the bed can result in unsightly abrasions. Then there is the issue of comfort - direct contact with a cold wall, especially in winter, is not the most pleasant thing.

Proper protection not only protects the surface from damage, but also prolongs its durability and makes the entire interior of the children's room look more aesthetically pleasing and cosy.

WALL PROTECTION AND SLEEPING COMFORT - 2-IN-1 BEDS

The comfortable Nook bed with a high upholstered headboard protects the wall from dirt and abrasion and creates a cosy place to rest at the same time. You can lean comfortably against its headboard while watching cartoons, use it as a reading zone for reading books together with your child or as a soft support for evening conversations before bedtime.

For even more functionality, consider the Reli corner bed. By placing it in the corner of the room, you will effectively protect two adjacent walls and create a cosy retreat. This solution works especially well in smaller rooms, as it leaves more space for play or a desk.

How else to protect a wall in a child's room? A practical solution is sofas such as Muve or Simple. They have higher sides that we can use to support a few soft cushions, so you can easily turn the sofa into a cosy corner for relaxing, reading or playing.

Bed ladders from the Stige collection can also be an original idea for arranging the wall behind the bed. They look interesting without accessories, but their functionality can be increased by hanging textile organisers or boxes in pastel colours. In this way, the wall behind the bed becomes not only a decoration, but also a practical storage space.

UPHOLSTERED PANELS - PROTECTING THE WALL IN A FASHIONABLE WAY

HOW TO PROTECT THE WALL NEXT TO THE BED? OPT FOR UNOBVIOUS SOLUTIONS

Children's rooms are often small. So if you're wondering how to decorate their walls, consider hanging a few small bookshelves. In order for them to be useful, they need to be at the right height so that the child doesn't risk hitting their head on them when getting out of bed.

It is also an interesting idea to choose wall lamps. It is advisable to choose models with more than one function, e.g. with an additional shelf for the telephone or other small items. It is a good idea to choose wall lamps with an adjustable angle of incidence, which will allow the child to read, play and relax in a comfortable environment.

Vinyl wallpaper or protective matting on the wall is a good choice, but be aware that it may deteriorate more quickly. Kerradeco decorative panels with high resistance to damage are an alternative. With a wide range of colours and patterns, you can conjure up a lively interior with a geometric motif or a peaceful retreat conducive to tranquillity.

WHAT TO HANG ON THE WALL? BOARDS AND ORGANISERS!

The wall right next to the bed can also promote good organisation or become a space for self-expression. This is possible if, instead of posters, you hang a Slot board on it. It comes with wooden pegs as standard - ideal for hanging headphones or chargers. It can be fitted with additional shelves for small items or felt pockets to which you can attach notes with golden thoughts.
