We are looking at decorating my daughter’s bedroom, she will be turning 8 soon. We have found a beautiful wallpaper that we all love and has all her favourite colours in, however I don’t know if the animals make it look too babyish? I don’t intend to decorate again for another four years so would love something she can keep for a few years. We can’t find another wallpaper this lovely!! Please can I have some opinions?

I think it's lovely. My daughter will be 8 this year and would love this wallpaper in her room.

It’s lovely. If she loves it then it’s fine. For what it’s worth my 12 year old also likes it (just showed it to her) and so it ma even last the four years.

I think at 8 she's old enough to understand that she will have to keep it till she's 12, even if her tastes change. So I would go for it now if you all like it.

It’s beautiful but my DD would have felt it too young very quickly.

Would papering just one wall be an option? You could paint the other walls in colours to match. Then when she wants a new look you've only got one wall to change.

The paper is lovely but quite busy so this is a good idea.

thank you all so much for your advice, the plan is to paper just one wall, and she wants the rest a light greeny blue so I could use the green colour from the tree on the paper and match that the best I can to paint the other three walls? I also have some shelves to put up so I could try and put them over the animals the best I can? But either way I suppose it wouldn’t be the end of the world to have to re wallpaper in a few years anyway
