Wall decals for boys and girls. What sets wall decals for men apart from wall decals for women.
We all have our own personal taste and style, different from everyone else’s, and that’s just as true for interior design: no two people have exactly the same taste. We know that the design of our home reflects our personality – it’s the place of rest we truly want to feel like home, and of course our children’s taste differs to some degree from ours as adults. That’s exactly what we’ll explore in this article.
Children love fantasy. In their world anything is possible, big, colorful and full of shapes. Boys often like what their dad loves, so if you take your son to a soccer game or watch a motorcycle race on TV with him, chances are he’ll want wall decals with more “masculine” themes in his room. Some boys will be thrilled to hang pictures of superheroes or other characters from movies and shows they love. Robots, airplanes, vehicles and so on.
As kids grow up, they won’t always have a particular preference about how their room is decorated. Their world becomes colorful by its very nature, and they’re invested in plenty of other things. If you do offer them wall decals, they usually won’t object to slightly more abstract designs with no specific theme. But some teens and young adults will want a wall decal that’s close to a subject they love and spend their time on, such as sports, music, video games and so on. Men, on the other hand, who deal with the real, practical and busy world, won’t want wall decals that disturb the calm your home is supposed to provide after a long day at work, so they’ll likely prefer wall decals in cool but light tones, and usually a more abstract style.
In young girls’ world of fantasy, too, you’ll find celebrity wall decals or decals inspired by beloved characters from movies, books or the natural world. The colors of the decals, and the dominant colors in girls’ rooms in general, tend to be warm and light. As girls grow up, they sometimes prefer wall decals connected to the emotional world: love and affection may be the motifs they choose for the wall, so you’ll find designs with flowers, words of affection and love, heartfelt quotes, hearts and so on. The dominant pinks will likely give way to a variety of other colors, but usually with a preference for the warm end of the spectrum.
Women tend to choose based on personal taste, but also with an emphasis on practicality. Some women will choose a second-choice wall decal for the kitchen if their favorite isn’t resistant to the moisture in the kitchen area. In other rooms, women look at wall decal designs with an emphasis on how well they fit the overall harmony of the room, and aesthetics matter a lot to them. Even in the bedroom, which is a place of refuge and rest, a woman will often prefer a wall decal that isn’t too colorful, to keep the feeling of calm and serenity, again with attention to the room’s overall design.
