“The color coding of baby rooms has evolved in recent years, leaving behind blue and light pink. Colors such as green, mustard, mole, gray and in some cases black, become part of the rooms of babies, “remember Hypacie van Gaver and María Buenahora, interior designers and founders of the interior design and decoration studio Hypa & Cie.
CHOOSE THOSE COLORS ACCORDING TO THE SIZE AND BRIGHTNESS OF THE ROOM
When choosing the color palette that will decorate the baby’s future room, it is essential to take into account the size and light of the room “so as not to make the mistake of making it look smaller. If the room is very bright, you can choose a more marked color on one of the walls. If, on the other hand, it is darker, it is better to contribute to light colors, giving a lot of importance to white and in this case play with a single wall with wallpaper and textiles, “advise the interior designers.

The two interior designers consulted agree: Wallpaper children room has become indispensable. There is a wide variety of options on the market! From murals, educational papers, stikers…” As in the case of paintings, more and more dark papers with animals are seen, these being the main protagonists of children’s paper.
WHAT ARE THE 4 INTERIOR DESIGNER TIPS TO GET THE WALLPAPER RIGHT IN THE CHILDREN’S ROOM?
When choosing the perfect paper, there are 4 essential questions for the interior designers of Hypa & Cie.

Favor light or dark colors, avoiding bright colors. The baby’s room should be a relaxed environment.
Choose a role that can last up to your 5 years.
Animals are great protagonists in children’s roles (as long as it does not scare a particular animal to older children).
DO NOT FORGET THE DECO POSSIBILITIES OF MURALS
They are like wallpaper, but they reproduce a scene that is created to measure the wall to be covered. Murals are perfect for creating a magical space in the nursery. The wall becomes a canvas on which to project that world that will make your dreams come true. In this bedroom, the mural frames a Montessori bed in the form of a wooden structure.

IT IS FORBIDDEN TO MAKE THE MISTAKE OF FORGETTING TO PLAN THE LIGHTING
Light, as in any room, is fundamental. The space should be bright with functional and clear lighting for the day. “You can play with a lamp suspended on the ceiling, wall sconces, recessed spotlights for the cabinet area and a floor lamp. For the evening, a dim light will help to give tranquility. They can be support lamps in the form of animals, garlands or adjustable sconces”, propose from Hypa & Cie. As advice, they add that the use of LED light should be favored, as babies have greater sensitivity to light. “Thinking that light helps us to generate different holders throughout the day, modifying the space to what the baby needs at all times,” they point out.
DECORATION AND GAMES IN THE WORLD OF THE CHILD
From the studio consulted, the interior designers are clear that for a room to be completely cozy, you need the right wall decoration and toys that dress the space. For example, stuffed animals, wooden educational games, posters framed with specific themes, words made with wire, animal heads on paper…
