Buy by room — buying guide & Tips
The category 'by room' divides 27 themed fabrics according to the rooms where children live, play and sleep. Instead of clicking through universal designs, here you will find fabrics tailored to the atmosphere of a nursery, children's room or teenager's room. The division helps you find the right fabric more quickly – whether for curtains, cushion covers, upholstery work or DIY decoration.
When selecting, pay attention to the fabric composition: for baby and toddler rooms, breathable natural fibers such as cotton or organic cotton, which are skin-friendly and easy to care for, are recommended. For teenagers' rooms, more robust blended fabrics that can withstand frequent washing and daily use are suitable. Also check the lightfastness, especially if the fabric is used near windows – UV radiation can cause strong colors to fade over time.
The motifs themselves range from playful animal patterns and pastel tones for babies, through adventure and fantasy worlds for boys, to elegant geometric patterns or floral designs for girls' rooms. Crucially, the fabric should match the room decor and the child's age. A neutral design that grows with the child saves money and effort in the long run. If you are unsure, you can fall back on timeless motifs like clouds, stars or world maps – they look harmonious in any room.
For specific room design, it is worth looking at the subcategories: Baby fabrics include gentle colors and cute patterns for the first year of life. Boys' fabrics offer action-packed prints with vehicles, dinosaurs, or space motifs. And girls' fabrics feature floral patterns, unicorns, or cute animals in rose and lilac tones. For teenagers, the youth fabric section with modern, often simpler designs is suitable.

These three fabrics exemplify the range of the category: The Casadeco fabric with little birds appeals especially to baby girls with its pastel tones, while the world map from Little Sanderson scores with boys and teens due to its blue color scheme and exploratory character. The ballet shoes fabric, in turn, combines a specific hobby motif with a bright, friendly color palette – ideal for girls' rooms that are meant to get a personal touch. All three fabrics are made of easy-care cotton and are washable at 30 °C, making them suitable for everyday use. If you are completely redesigning a room, combine several of these fabrics into a cohesive overall look – for example, world map as curtains and ballet shoes as pillow covers.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much fabric do I need for a children's room project?
The required amount depends on the project: For a curtain (window width approx. 120 cm, height 150 cm), calculate about 2.5 meters of fabric, including hem and gathering. For a cushion cover (40 x 40 cm), 0.5 meters is sufficient. For upholstery work on a small armchair or bench, expect 1.5 to 2 meters. Always measure precisely and buy 10–20% extra – especially for patterned fabrics with a repeat (repeating pattern), you need additional material for pattern matching.
How do I properly care for children's motif fabrics?
Most cotton motif fabrics can be machine washed at 30 °C on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent without bleach to preserve the colors. Avoid the dryer, as the fabrics may shrink – better to air dry. Iron on setting 2 (cotton) and make sure to turn the fabric inside out so the motifs do not shine. For heavy soiling, soak the fabric briefly in cold water with a little gall soap before washing.
Are the fabrics also suitable for allergy sufferers?
Yes, the offered cotton print fabrics are generally skin-friendly and suitable for allergy sufferers, as they do not contain chemical finishes such as formaldehyde or optical brighteners. When purchasing, pay attention to the declaration: pure cotton or organic cotton is the best choice for sensitive children's skin. Wash new fabrics once at 60 °C before first use to remove any residues of weaving oils or packaging residues. For severe allergies, we recommend a skin test on an inconspicuous area.
Can I also sew print fabrics into clothing?
Basically yes, but not every fabric is equally suitable. Light cotton fabrics from the 'by room' category are perfect for children's clothing such as dresses, skirts, or light jackets. For trousers or more durable items, you should use fabrics with a bit of elastane content – however, you will find these more in the sewing and tailoring category.&Check before cutting whether the fabric is iron-safe and colorfast. A tip: wash the fabric before sewing so that it does not shrink later and alter the fit.
More categories
The breakdown by room is just one way to browse patterned fabrics. If you prefer to search by specific motifs—such as animals, vehicles, or fantasy—then it's worth checking out the Motifs category. There, all designs are sorted by theme, allowing you to filter by dinosaurs, outer space, or flowers, for example. This is especially useful if you want to implement a specific children's room theme without committing to an age group.
Another useful approach is sorting by Motif fabrics color. If your child's room already has a specific color palette – for example, gray-beige or blue-green – you can select fabrics here that match exactly in color. That saves tedious searching and ensures that curtains, cushions, and upholstery harmonize. Also the category Motif fabrics collectionis ideal if you want to combine several fabrics from one design line – for example, for a fully coordinated room set.
If you are not yet sure which fabric suits your project, the Parent category Patterned Fabricsa complete overview of all available designs, manufacturers, and collections. From there, you can navigate into any subcategory and narrow down your selection step by step.
In a nutshell
The category "by room" divides 27 patterned fabrics into four age- and gender-specific groups: baby fabrics, boys' fabrics, girls' fabrics, and youth fabrics. Each subcategory contains designs tailored to the respective life stage and interior – from soft pastel tones to action-packed prints to modern, simple patterns. When purchasing, pay attention to the material (cotton preferred), care properties, and lightfastness. Combine multiple fabrics from the same collection or color range for a cohesive overall look. For specific themed requests, the sibling category "Motifs" provides further assistance, while sorting by color or collection enables an even more precise selection.
