Hi all

We are moving our almost 2 year old girl out of the nursery and into a bigger bedroom. She is obsessed with Minions. I love wallpaper murals. We have a Toy Story one in the playroom that looks amazing. So I wanted to do one of these murals on one wall of her new bedroom and then paint the other 3 walls.

So I just want to know which you prefer and what colour you would do the other walls?

This is the first time I've posted a question so please let me know if the links don't work properly.

Thanks. Smile

Lj- thanks, I actually like that design. This will sound really stupid but it puts me off with it being a wallpaper. Again with the kids wallpapers they always make them from really thin cheap paper (so my decorator says) and they just don't look as good. With the murals you usually get 2 or 3 options of the weight of paper so can get a really good quality one. I might reconsider though as I really like that design. Thanks so much! X

Could you not paint the walls a plain colour and get minion pictures in big frames with minion bedding and accessories
Because she may completely grow out of them in a years time so you'd have to re decorate or paint!
My little boy loves dinosaurs but I'm sure he will find something else in 6 months time so won't want to do his whole room just incase!

never ever seen that emoji before!!!! looks like a third reich flag!! so I'm not sure why you have it!!

Also the second one is better, with yellow walls. even though they both make my eyes bleed. If you're going to go for it, you've really got to go for it!!

BabsGanoush · 11/09/2017 14:16

Lj8893 I like this one too.

OP, I think it depends what furniture you are putting in front. If you have a big wardrobe for example then go for the 'crowd'.

WhereDidThatTurtleComeFrom · 11/09/2017 14:18

is this a joke?

I doubt the op is doing it in her bedroom.

Op go with the first. How could anyone sleep with the second?!

WhereDidThatTurtleComeFrom · 11/09/2017 14:21

What about not using a mural and just getting some stickers?

I like the crowd scene the most. Maybe a light grey paint on the other walls?

Ttbb · 11/09/2017 14:38

The second one makes my head hurt so big that one. Have you considered sonething a little bit more toned down. E.g.:

Thanks all so much.

The room has built in wardrobes and so some other cupboards and drawers would go against the wall opposite the mural. The only furniture on the mural wall would be a cot for the next few months, then a toddler bed, all white furniture.

I agree that the one with the loads of Minions on is a bit much! So open to looking at others. I've tried wall stickers for the nursery and they looked really rubbish, but they may just have been a bad one that I bought, or maybe I didn't apply hem properly. I really have got my heart set on a wallpaper mural though I think!

Not considered light grey before, that might work, thanks.

I am using the MN app on an iPhone and if I click on the emoji button at the bottom left while posting that scary looking emoji one is right at the end. How bizarre!!!

Ttbb- I think that's the same one a previous poster mentioned, although from a different supplier. I love that design, definitely not as migraine inducing, but the reviews say the quality is crap. (As always seems to be the case with kids wallpaper unfortunately).

what about something like this?

This looks quite fun. There's loads to choose from too. Just type in despicable me wall murals

Can't help with the mural but I think the emoji is The Bull pub sign from The Archers! (Radio 4)

I spent days painting a toy story wall for my obsessed daughter. She loved it for 3 days until she decided she like hello kitty more 😂 She now has pale pink and hire walls with hello kitty stickers that I can easily change when she decides she likes something else!

Dahlietta · 11/09/2017 14:54

The second one, I suppose. The first one is terrifying. I would paint the other walls blue and then I would paint over the mural too
You must love decorating OP if you're going to let very small children choose such specific whims!

2014newme · 11/09/2017 14:57

Horrible!
Migraine inducing, ugly and naff.

MyDcAreMarvel · 11/09/2017 15:04

Are you going to ensure your dd wears sunglasses at all times whilst in her room?
If not , then neither.

lettuceWrap · 11/09/2017 15:19

Not the crowd one, it looks awful.

The other one could work really well with Ikea kids furniture- but you need to think about how the furniture will work with the mural.
I'd say lilac for the other walls.

toomanydicksonthedancefloor1 · 11/09/2017 15:24

Allegretto - thanks, not sure why I would need that one ha ha.

TheITgirl - thanks I really like the designs on that website, they're much less offensive! On closer inspection though they're manufactured and shipped from China and take 7-40 days so I would be a bit dubious of ordering from them. Also the decorator starts in 1 week!

I think I'm leaning towards the one with the purple thingy on and very pale lilac walls.

OP posts:
Cantspell2 · 11/09/2017 15:48

I would go for the second one with pale grey or blue walls and curtains and a dark grey carpet.

toomanydicksonthedancefloor1 · 11/09/2017 16:05

Lettuce wrap, yes it is the Ikea kids furniture that we've got. We've got them multicoloured with white, pink and green doors - but you can buy sets of doors to change the colour if we needed to.
