What a Hoot
In this collection you will find nine wallpapers with child-friendly motifs for wall design in the baby and children's room. The designs are tailored to different age groups and give the room a cheerful touch.
What a Hoot – Child-friendly wallpapers with bird and fantasy motifs
The collection “What a Hoot” combines nine lovingly designed wallpaper motifs specifically for baby and children's rooms. The motifs range from friendly birds to playful retro elements to pocket and pirouette designs. Each wallpaper is designed to create a calming, imagination-inspiring atmosphere – ideal for the first years of life.
When choosing the right wallpaper, you should consider your child's age group. For babies, clear, high-contrast motifs with soft colors are suitable, while toddlers benefit from more detailed scenes with animals or everyday objects. The wallpapers are made of durable material that is easy to clean – a practical advantage in children's rooms. Look for washable surfaces and pollutant-tested colors that meet safety standards for children's rooms.
The collection is divided into four motif worlds: What a Hoot Birds with nature-inspired animal depictions, Polly Pirouette with dance motifs, Go Go Retro with nostalgic elements as well as Pick n Mix Bags with playful accessories. Each subcategory offers specific designs tailored to different developmental stages.
The wallpapers are sold by the roll and cover different areas depending on the pattern repeat. Measure the wall area accurately before purchasing and account for waste—especially with large-scale motifs. Most wallpapers in this collection are suitable for paintable, smooth surfaces. For textured or embossed wallpapers, we recommend a primer to achieve optimal results.
More wallpaper collections for babies and children
The "What a Hoot" collection is part of the overarching wallpaper collection, which includes numerous other motif worlds for children's rooms. If the bird and fantasy motifs do not exactly match your ideas, it's worth taking a look at the neighboring collections.
The collection Abracazoo offers, for example, animal motifs with a circus flair – ideal for toddlers who love animals and colorful scenes. For a calmer, natural atmosphere, Douce Nuit with gentle night and star motifs, which create a relaxed sleeping environment especially in baby rooms. If you are looking for modern, abstract patterns that grow with the child, all about me could be the right choice – with geometric shapes and friendly colors.
The selection of the right collection depends heavily on the child's age and the desired room feel. While “What a Hoot” with its playful bird and fantasy motifs is especially suitable for toddlers aged 1 to 4 years, collections like My Little World appeal to older children with their everyday scenes. Compare the motifs in terms of color intensity and level of detail – both influence how calming or stimulating the wallpaper will be for your child.
Frequently asked questions about the What a Hoot collection
Which type of wallpaper is best for a children's room?
For children's rooms, non-woven wallpapers are recommended because they are tear-resistant, breathable, and easy to work with. The What a Hoot collection consists of such non-woven wallpapers that can be glued directly onto the wall – without soaking time. Look for washable surfaces so you can easily remove fingerprints and small stains with a damp cloth. Certified wallpapers without harmful substances (e.g., according to DIN EN 71) are especially important for baby and children's rooms.
How do I calculate the right amount of wallpaper for my children's room?
First measure the room height and wall width. A standard roll of non-woven wallpaper is usually 0.53 m wide and 10.05 m long. Divide the wall width by 0.53 to get the number of strips needed. For patterns with a pattern repeat (repeating design), you must also consider the repeat distance – this is indicated on the label. Allow for 10–15% waste, especially for large-scale motifs in the What a Hoot collection.
Are the What a Hoot wallpapers suitable for rental apartments?
Yes, non-woven wallpapers can later be removed dry and in strips from the wall – a big advantage in rental apartments. The prerequisite is that the wallpaper was fully adhered with a suitable adhesive and the wall was primed. When moving out later, you can remove the wallpaper without much effort without damaging the plaster. Keep the leftover roll in case minor repairs are needed later.
In a nutshell
The What a Hoot collection includes nine wallpaper patterns with birds, vintage elements, bags and pirouette designs for baby and children's rooms. Four subcategories help you choose a motif by age group. The non-woven wallpapers are washable, tested for harmful substances and can be removed without leaving any residue – practical for rental apartments. Choose a motif that matches your child's developmental stage and ensure you calculate enough quantity including waste.
