Wallpaper in kids' rooms

I received a reader request recently about wallpaper. Valerie lives in the Netherlands and wants to redecorate her almost 2 year old son's room. She wants to combine wallpaper and paint, the bottom half or top half but I'm going to try to convince Valerie to do a focal wall in wallpaper from top to bottom and the other walls painted.

My favourite wallpaper these days is from Ferm Living. What I really like about their kids' wallpaper is that it can grow with your child because it's so darn cute. I would hate to put up wallpaper only to take it down a coupe years later because the child outgrew it. I love their wallpaper called 'Rush Hour' and here are a couple of photos using this wallpaper:

Next I love Ferm Living's 'Dotty' wallpaper seen below:

I did find one photo where wallpaper is used on the bottom half of a wall. It's a girls' room but you get the idea...
