Wall printing ideas for kids’ rooms and nurseries

Kids’ rooms are one of the most common jobs owners print, and one of the best for repeat work. Kids grow, tastes change, and the same family calls back a few years later for the next wall.

Learning walls

• World maps and the solar system
• Alphabet and number walls
• Growth charts built into a larger scene
• Bookshelf and reading nook scenes

Worlds to grow up in

• Under the sea, jungle and safari scenes
• Outer space with planets and rockets
• Castles, forests and storybook landscapes
• Sports themes with the child’s favorite game

Make it theirs

• A name or monogram in a custom design
• Family photos as a gallery wall without frames
• A ceiling panel printed in the shop and mounted above the crib

What to plan for

• Use original artwork or art you have the rights to. Licensed characters from films and shows need the rights holder’s permission.
• Ask about the paint. A sound, washable wall prints best.
• Quote the refresh. Offer a new design in three to five years at a returning-client price.

How to pitch it

The best prospects have a wall people see every day, a reason to change now, like an opening, a rebrand or a renovation, someone you can reach who decides, and a budget for decor already. Start with interior designers, home builders, pediatric dentists and real estate stagers who already work with young families.

The walk-in takes about 20 seconds:

“Hi, I’m [name] with [your business]. We print full-color murals and graphics straight onto walls, right here in [city]. Can I show you what that wall would look like with your design on it?”

Take a photo of the wall, mock the design up on it, and follow up with an email in two days and a call in a week. Most jobs aren’t lost to price. They’re lost to a follow-up that never happened.
