Nursery and Kids Peel and Stick Wallpaper

Kids' rooms change faster than any other room in the house. The bunny wallpaper that suits a newborn will look different to a six-year-old, and very different to a ten-year-old with opinions. That's the case for peel-and-stick in a nursery: you can decorate for the stage your child is in now and change it later, with no paste to strip.

It matters even more if you rent. Many families set up a first nursery in an apartment, knowing they'll move before their child starts school. Little Rooms lets you make that space feel intentional, then peel it off when you move.

Designs for babies

Bunny Nursery is soft and quiet, with small rabbits on a light background that works for any nursery palette. Blush Boho Nursery leans warm with muted pinks and simple shapes, and pairs well with natural wood cribs and woven baskets. Scandinavian Floral Nursery takes a folk-art approach with simple, stylized flowers, and suits parents who want something that looks at home in the rest of the house too.

Designs that grow up

Clouds and Stars are the most flexible designs in the collection. Both are easy to live with at age one and still make sense at age eight. Stars on a ceiling-height accent wall can be the start of a space theme, and Clouds in a small room makes the walls feel farther away. Multicolor Safari Animals brings more color and a bit of storytelling, since toddlers like pointing out the giraffe. Alphabet works for a nursery and later for a playroom or homework corner.

Planning a nursery wall

Most parents paper one wall rather than four, usually the wall behind the crib. It gives you a focal point, keeps costs down, and keeps the install to a smaller job. Some things worth knowing:

  • Put it up a few weeks before the baby arrives so you're not hanging wallpaper during the last stretch of pregnancy.
  • Keep panels away from spots little hands can reach and pick at, such as low corners behind furniture. A bookshelf or dresser against the bottom edge helps.
  • If you've just painted, wait until the paint has fully cured, following the paint manufacturer's instructions, before applying.

Sizing and cost

Every design comes in nine heights, from $90 to $180 per panel set. Measure floor to ceiling, choose the height that covers it, and count panels to match the width of the wall.

See it in the room first

Nursery colors are delicate. The difference between a soft blush and a strong pink is hard to judge on a screen. A $15 sample lets you see the design next to the crib, the rug and the light from the window before you commit. Ordering two lets you decide in person.

When they outgrow it

When it's time for the next design your child picks, or for the move-out inspection, peel the panels off slowly from a top corner. We haven't published our own removal tests yet, so test a sample on your paint before you commit to a full wall.

Questions

Is peel-and-stick wallpaper a good choice for a nursery in a rental?

It can be, because there's no paste and panels peel off rather than being stripped. We haven't completed our own removal tests yet, so we don't promise how panels come off a particular wall. Test a $15 sample on your paint and check your lease before papering a full wall.

When should I install nursery wallpaper before the baby arrives?

Aim for a few weeks ahead so the room is finished well before your due date. If the walls were freshly painted, wait until the paint has fully cured, following the paint manufacturer's instructions, before applying the panels.

Will my toddler be able to peel it off?

Seams and corners are the weak points if a child picks at them. Placing furniture along the bottom edge and keeping seams away from reachable corners makes it much harder for small fingers to get a grip.

How many panels do I need for one crib wall?

Measure the wall's width and divide by the 30-inch panel width, then round up. Choose the panel height that covers your floor-to-ceiling measurement. There are nine options, from $90 to $180 per set.

How quickly will my order arrive?

Panels are printed to order in 1-2 business days, and typical door-to-door time in the US is about one week. If you're working to a due date, order a $15 sample first so you can confirm the design before placing the full order.
