Posters for the kids' room
A children's room has to survive years of looking at, which argues for motifs calm enough to grow with the child. Soft watercolours of animals, moons and stars work as well above a cot as above a desk a few years later.\n\n30x40 and 40x50 are the practical sizes. Two or three from the same series above the bed make a coherent group, and you can swap out one motif at a time as interests change.\n\nTwo practical notes: hang prints out of reach of the bed, and choose acrylic glazing over real glass in rooms where children play.

Frequently asked questions
- What size poster suits a children's room?
- 30x40 cm and 40x50 cm. Large enough to read from the bed, small enough that you can hang two or three together above a dresser or bed.
- How high should a poster hang in a children's room?
- A little lower than in other rooms, so the child sees the motif from the floor — around 120–130 cm to centre works well. But always hang out of reach of the bed.
- Which motifs last longest in a children's room?
- Calm watercolours of animals, moons and stars. They stay neutral enough to work from nursery to school age, unlike motifs tied to one character or interest.
- Which frame is safest in a children's room?
- Frames with acrylic glazing rather than real glass, and secure wall fixings rather than a nail. In rooms where children play it is worth the small extra cost.
