Why We Chose Wall Decals Over Traditional Wallpaper for Kids' Rooms
When we started DODO Design, we had one simple goal in mind: to create something that would make decorating kids' rooms easier, more flexible, and fun. The idea of wall decals came to us because we noticed that while traditional wallpaper had been a popular choice for decades, it had its fair share of downsides. Wallpaper can be tricky to apply, requires a lot of time and effort, and can be expensive—especially when you want to make changes.
We wanted to provide parents with an option that was not only stylish but also practical. Wall decals seemed like the perfect solution. Instead of dealing with the hassle of wallpaper rolls, adhesives, and long installation processes, we imagined a product that could be quickly and easily applied. Plus, we wanted to offer something that could grow with children, adapting to their changing interests and the evolving look of their rooms.
That’s how DODO Design wall decals were born. Our journey began with the goal of creating a product that was hassle-free, affordable, and still beautiful. We set out to create designs that could add personality to any room without the long-term commitment of wallpaper. We knew that kids' tastes can change frequently, and parents shouldn’t have to redo an entire room every time that happens. So, wall decals became the ideal solution—offering the same aesthetic charm as wallpaper, but with much more flexibility.
One of the key benefits of wall decals over wallpaper is the ease of installation. With wallpaper, you need to prepare your walls, cut the material to fit, and carefully apply it without wrinkles. Wall decals, on the other hand, are as simple as peel-and-stick. They go up quickly, can be repositioned if necessary, and leave no residue behind when you want to update the design. It’s an easy way to refresh the room whenever you like—whether for seasonal changes, birthday parties, or simply as your child’s interests evolve.
Our wall decals are made from high-quality, non-toxic, and eco-friendly materials, ensuring they’re safe for your child and the environment. We focused on using materials that are easy to work with, while also being durable and gentle on walls. The ability to remove and reposition the decals means there’s no permanent commitment, and no damage to the paint or surface underneath. This flexibility is perfect for parents who want to keep things fresh and fun, without worrying about the time and cost of reinstalling wallpaper.
Moreover, wall decals provide an affordable way to decorate without the high costs of wallpaper installation. They’re a more budget-friendly alternative, especially for growing kids whose interests change frequently. You can add an educational element with alphabet or number decals, create a fun theme with animals or outer space, or simply decorate with subtle patterns that complement the rest of the room. And when your child outgrows the design, it’s easy to switch it out for something new—no need for a complete overhaul.
At DODO Design, we believe that decorating a child’s room should be easy, affordable, and adaptable. With our wall decals, you can create a beautiful and inspiring space for your child—without the stress, mess, or long-term commitment that comes with traditional wallpaper. Whether you're aiming for a playful, calming, or educational atmosphere, our designs allow you to bring your vision to life in no time. Plus, the best part? You can change things up whenever you want, making it easy to keep your child’s room fresh and exciting as they grow.
