What Makes the Best Wallpaper for a Playroom

A playroom asks more of a wall than almost any other room in the house. Between crayons, sticky hands, toys knocking against baseboards, and furniture that gets rearranged every few months, the practical characteristics of the material matter as much as the design. A few things are worth weighing before you choose.

Cleanability. In a playroom, a surface that can be gently cleaned is a practical advantage. Our Smooth Vinyl Peel and Stick wallpaper has a semi-gloss finish that works especially well in spaces where walls may need occasional wipe-downs, while Traditional Canvas wall covering is water-resistant and can be gently cleaned.

How long you want it to last. Children's tastes and rooms change over time. If you expect to redecorate as they grow, removable wallpaper gives you more flexibility. If you're planning a long-term installation, a paste-installed Traditional material may be the better fit.

Emissions and materials. For a room where children spend a lot of time, it makes sense to check both the material and the certifications behind it. We print our wallpaper with water-based resin inks, which are GREENGUARD Gold certified, that meet stringent limits for chemical emissions. The same considerations apply when choosing nursery wallpaper for a younger child's room.

Your wall surface. This is the detail many people discover too late. Peel & Stick wallpaper requires a smooth, clean, fully cured painted wall for reliable adhesion. If the wall has visible texture, our Traditional Type II material may be a better option for slight texture, or the surface may need to be smoothed before installation.

Manufacturer tip: order a sample before committing to the full room. It lets you see the actual color under your lighting, compare material textures, and judge the pattern scale against the furniture and wall.

Playroom Wallpaper Ideas by Style

Playrooms can support a wider range of patterns and colors than many other rooms. The right direction depends on how visible the room is from the rest of the home, how long you expect the design to stay, and how much visual impact you want.

Colorful and energetic. Rainbows, balloons, bold shapes, illustrated objects, and saturated palettes can give a playroom a strong visual identity. For a more restrained result, use the boldest pattern on one feature wall and balance it with simpler furnishings.

Neutral and calm. Sage, cream, beige, and soft gray work well with subtle illustrations, botanicals, and simple patterns. This approach can be especially useful when the playroom connects directly to a living or family room.

Modern and geometric. Clean shapes, arches, and simple repeats give a playroom structure without theming it too specifically. Browse our geometric designs for this direction.

Murals and scenes. A large-scale mural — a world map, forest, or landscape — turns one wall into the centerpiece of the room and doubles as something children genuinely engage with. Maps in particular tend to hold interest as a child gets older.

Animals, woodland, and whimsical illustration. Gentle illustrated animals, woodland scenes, and whimsical designs sit between playful and calm, which makes them one of the most flexible options. Celestial stars-and-moons patterns work similarly.

For designs chosen with a particular child in mind, see our wallpaper for boys and wallpaper for girls collections — though plenty of parents pick from both, and the most versatile playroom designs tend not to be gendered at all.

Peel and Stick vs Traditional Wallpaper for a Playroom

Every design in this collection is available in more than one material. The right choice comes down to your wall surface, whether you rent, and how often you expect to change the room.

  • Smooth Vinyl Peel & Stick — removable and repositionable during installation, with a smooth semi-gloss finish that can be gently wiped clean. It's a practical option for playrooms you expect to update and for rentals with suitable smooth walls.
  • Canvas Peel & Stick — removable wallpaper with a matte, woven texture that reduces surface glare and works especially well with watercolor and illustrated designs. Like Smooth Vinyl, it requires a smooth, clean, fully cured wall.
  • Traditional Type II — a more permanent, commercial-grade option installed with wallpaper paste. It's designed for long-term installations and may be better suited than Peel & Stick to slightly textured walls, provided the surface is properly prepared. See the full Traditional Type II range.

Browse all removable options in our peel and stick wallpaper collection. Whichever material you choose, we'd recommend ordering a sample first — it lets you check both the color in your room's light and how the material behaves on your particular wall.

Playroom Wallpaper FAQ

What is the best wallpaper for a playroom?

There isn't one universal answer — the right playroom wallpaper depends on five things. First, your wall condition: peel and stick needs a smooth, clean, fully cured painted wall, while a paste-installed material handles light texture. Second, how hard the room will be used and how easily you need to clean it; our Smooth Vinyl Peel & Stick has the easiest surface to wipe down. Third, the material itself, including its emissions certification — EazzyWalls wallpaper is printed with water-based, non-toxic inks. Fourth, how the room is used: a space for active play has different demands than a quiet reading corner. Fifth, whether you want to update the design as your child grows, which points toward a removable material. Work through those five and the right option usually becomes obvious.

Is peel and stick wallpaper good for playrooms?

Peel and stick wallpaper works well in a playroom when the wall suits it. It installs without paste, repositions while you align it, and can be removed and updated as your child's interests change — which is often the deciding factor in a kids' room. Our Smooth Vinyl Peel & Stick also has a semi-gloss surface that is easy to wipe clean, useful in a room that sees crayons and sticky hands. The requirement to be clear about: it needs a smooth, clean, fully cured painted wall to adhere safely. It will not hold well on heavily textured or unpainted surfaces, and if the wall was recently painted, EazzyWalls recommends waiting at least 30 days before installing so the paint can fully cure. For a textured wall, choose Traditional Type II instead, or skim-coat the wall smooth first.

How do you decorate playroom walls?

A common approach is to treat one wall as the feature and keep the rest quieter. A large-scale mural — a map, forest, or landscape — works well as that anchor, while a subtler pattern on the remaining walls stops the room feeling busy. Many parents use wallpaper to define zones: a calmer design behind a reading nook and something more energetic in the main play area, which helps a single room serve two moods. On scale, larger patterns tend to read as bolder and smaller repeats as more textural, so it's worth considering how much visual activity the room already has from toys, storage, and artwork. Since playrooms usually contain a lot of color already, keeping furnishings and storage relatively simple lets the wall do the work without the space feeling cluttered.

What wallpaper works best in a small playroom?

For a small playroom, lighter colors and lower-contrast patterns can help the room feel more open. Check the pattern scale against your wall size so large motifs are not awkwardly cropped. A feature wall is also a practical way to add impact without overwhelming the space. We recommend ordering a sample first to see how the color and scale look in the room’s actual light.

Can peel and stick playroom wallpaper be removed later?

Yes - our Smooth Vinyl and Canvas Peel and Stick wallpapers are designed to be removable, and are damage-free on properly painted, fully cured walls, lifting away without leaving sticky residue. To remove, lift a corner and peel back slowly and steadily rather than pulling quickly. Two conditions affect the result: the wallpaper needs to have been applied to a smooth, clean, fully cured painted surface in the first place, and walls painted shortly before installation are the most common cause of problems on removal. This applies to our own materials - removability varies between manufacturers, so it's worth checking the specifications for whichever product you're using.

What wallpaper styles work well in kids playrooms?

Popular playroom styles fall into a few groups. Illustrated animals, woodland scenes, and whimsical designs are the most flexible, sitting between playful and calm. Celestial stars-and-moons patterns work similarly. Geometric and modern shapes give structure without theming the room too specifically. Large-scale murals, especially maps, tend to hold a child's interest as they get older. On palette, colorful designs suit a room built for active play, while neutral designs in sage, cream, or soft grey work well in open-plan homes where the playroom is visible from the living space — and they transition more easily when the room's purpose changes.

What should I consider before installing wallpaper in a playroom?

Before installing wallpaper in a playroom, check that the wall is clean, smooth, dry, and fully cured. Choose the material based on the wall surface and how permanent you want the installation to be, measure carefully, and order a sample first to confirm the color, texture, and pattern scale in the room.
