Aniek Bartels wallpaper and posters – Storytelling for the children’s room

Aniek Bartels' designs revolve around one core principle: creating space for wonder. Her illustrations open the door to children's fantasy worlds, while gently inviting parents into that same universe.

Aniek is a Dutch illustrator with a clear mission: to create illustrations that stimulate curiosity, encourage kindness, and help children discover the world around them with attention. Her work is playful, warm, and character-driven. Every design starts by hand, ensuring an authentic look that is immediately reflected in her wallpaper and posters.

At Kidsbarn, you'll find both Aniek Bartels wallpaper and her posters – perfect for combining in a nursery, toddler room, or children's room.

Where Nature Plays – Wallpaper with a story

In collaboration with Meet Me at the Wall, Aniek developed two special wallpaper collections. The latest collection, Where Nature Plays, shows how hand-painted illustrations can grow into large-scale wall designs full of atmosphere and narrative.

Owls, lions, trees, and playful shapes leap from sketchbook to wall. This is not standard children's room wallpaper – these are designs that transform a space into a place where stories are born.

The strength of this collection lies in:

• Hand-painted illustrations translated into large format
  
• A strong atmosphere and narrative character
  
• Designs that grow with children
  
• A timeless look that doesn't become childish
  

This makes the wallpaper suitable for both a serene nursery and an adventurous children's room.

Skating Lions and Owls – Iconic designs

Within the collection, the Skating Lions and the Owls have become true favorites. These designs are available as both wallpaper and posters, making it easy to create a cohesive interior.

Opt for a statement wall with animal wallpaper or add subtle accents with a matching print. By combining wallpaper and posters, a harmonious whole is created that balances calm and playfulness.

In addition to wallpaper, a number of Aniek Bartels' designs are also available as posters. This allows you to subtly incorporate beloved illustrations, such as the owls and the skating lions, into the children's room. Combine a statement wall with matching wall decoration or choose a calm room with a few characteristic prints. View all Aniek Bartels posters here.

Nature, sustainability, and conscious design

Nature and sustainability are not a trend within Aniek Bartels' work, but a natural part of her vision. Animals, landscapes, and natural elements repeatedly appear in her illustrations. Not only because they are visually strong, but because they reflect a conscious way of living and working.

This makes her designs especially fitting for a children's room where parents choose quality, meaning, and timeless design.
