Designing a children's room requires special attention, both in terms of safety and aesthetics. Plants in a children's room should be not only decorative but also educational and health-promoting. At Vikingmoss we specialize in providing safe, stabilized plant solutions that are ideal for children's rooms, combining decorative value with practicality and eliminating maintenance issues.
Why is it worth putting plants in a children's room?
Introducing plants into a child's space offers numerous benefits. Plants in a child's room positively impact the development, health, and well-being of children, while also providing a valuable element of environmental education. Our experience shows that carefully selected plants can become an integral part of the educational process.
Plants naturally purify the air, which is especially important in rooms where children spend a significant amount of time. Some species can eliminate up to 87% of harmful volatile substances from the environment within 24 hours. This is especially important given the increasing prevalence of allergies and asthma in children.
Moreover, contact with nature from an early age fosters ecological sensitivity and teaches responsibility. Observing plants grow and participating in their care can be a valuable lesson for young children.
The aesthetic aspect is also important – properly selected plants can wonderfully complement the decor of a room, making it cozier and more friendly.
What plants are safe for children?
Stabilized plants as the optimal solution
Stabilized plants are an ideal choice for a child's room due to their complete safety and lack of maintenance. At Vikingmoss we offer a wide selection of stabilized compositions that have proven effective in children's rooms. The stabilization process we undergo for our plants involves replacing the natural plant sap with a special glycerin-based preservative solution, which preserves the plant's natural beauty for many years.
Our stabilized products require no watering, fertilization, or exposure to sunlight. They also don't attract insects, don't produce dust, and don't cause allergic reactions, which is especially important for children with allergies. Furthermore, they don't contain any harmful substances that could pose a health risk to children.
Reindeer moss – a safe alternative
Our stabilized reindeer moss is one of our best-selling products, frequently chosen by parents. Its softness and vibrant colors attract children's attention while remaining a completely safe decorative element.
Data on the popularity of reindeer moss in children's rooms:
| Aspect | Value |
| Durability | Up to 10 years without losing properties |
| Security | 100% (no allergens and toxins) |
| Care | It does not require any treatments |
Stabilized eucalyptus in a children's room
Stabilized eucalyptus is another option that has gained recognition among our clients designing children's rooms. Stabilized eucalyptus combines a natural look with practicality, and its delicate, gray-green leaves bring peace and harmony to the interior.
Our experience shows that eucalyptus complements both girls' and boys' rooms perfectly, regardless of the dominant color scheme. Its universal character makes it suitable for a variety of interior design styles—from Scandinavian minimalism to more whimsical, fairytale-like interiors.
Importantly, stabilized eucalyptus, unlike fresh eucalyptus, does not emit an intense smell, which could be problematic for children with scent sensitivity.
How to plan a green arrangement in a children's room?
Safety first
When planning to introduce plants into a child's room, safety should be a priority. Arranging plants in a child's room requires careful planning, taking into account the typical behavior patterns of the child's age and the specific needs of the room.
For the youngest children, who explore the world through all their senses, including touch and taste, we recommend placing plant compositions out of their reach – on shelves, in hanging pots or in moss pictures.
For older children, we can offer more accessible arrangements, while ensuring a stable installation that prevents the pot from tipping over during play. Our company's proven solutions include:
- Wall-mounted moss panels (out of reach of small children)
- Botanical paintings from stabilized plants
- Compositions in wooden frames or terrariums
- Moss balls as decoration for shelves and chests of drawers
The educational aspect of plants in a child's room
Plants in a child's room can serve not only a decorative purpose but also an educational one. Carefully selected plant arrangements can become a starting point for learning about nature, ecology, and responsibility.
For preschool and early school-age children, we recommend creating themed mini-gardens with various types of moss and eucalyptus, which can become a pretext for stories about the diversity of the plant world. Our compositions often inspire family conversations about nature and ecology.
For older children, an interesting project might be a moss wall depicting a map of the world or a continent, which combines decorative and educational values.
What plant compositions do we recommend for children's rooms?
Thematic moss arrangements
At Vikingmoss we specialize in creating themed plant arrangements that perfectly complement children's rooms. Themed arrangements made of stabilized moss are particularly popular with children, serving not only as a decorative element but also stimulating the imagination.
Examples of projects we have completed for our clients include:
- Forest landscapes made of cushion moss and lichen
- Compositions depicting animals made of flat moss
- “Green Letters” – Children's Names Made of Moss
- Mini-gardens with characters from your favorite fairy tales
So-called "dynamic paintings" became particularly popular in 2025 – moss compositions that, thanks to different textures and colors, create a three-dimensional effect and change their appearance depending on the viewing angle.
Miniature gardens made of stabilized plants
Miniature gardens using stabilized plants are a delight for both children and parents. Miniature garden compositions made of moss and eucalyptus create a magical microcosm that develops children's imagination and aesthetic sensitivity.
Our offer includes both ready-made compositions and self-assembly kits, which can become the basis for shared family activities. We've observed that creating miniature plant worlds together not only has educational value but also strengthens family bonds.
The following are especially popular:
- Forest terrariums with cushion moss and reindeer moss
- “Magic Forests” in Glass Shades
- Miniature Japanese gardens with flat moss and stabilized eucalyptus
Are stabilized plants safe for children?
Advantages of stabilized plants over living ones
Stabilized plants offer significant advantages over live specimens in terms of child safety, eliminating the risk of accidental ingestion, allergic reactions, or hazardous substances used in care.
At Vikingmoss we place particular emphasis on the safety of our products. All of our stabilized plants undergo rigorous quality testing, confirming their complete safety. The stabilization process we subject plants to not only extends their shelf life but also eliminates all potentially hazardous components.
Comparison of the safety of stabilized and live plants in a children's room:
| Aspect | Stabilized plants | Live plants |
| Risk of allergies | Minimal | Significant |
| Presence of pests | Lack | Possible |
| Mold and fungi | Lack | Possible (if not cared for properly) |
| The need to use fertilizers | Lack | Yes (potentially toxic) |
| The need for watering | Lack | Yes (risk of tipping) |
How to care for stabilized plants in a children's room?
Minimum care requirements
One of the biggest advantages of stabilized plants is the virtually zero maintenance required . Stabilized plants in a nursery require no watering, fertilization, or access to sunlight, making them an ideal solution for busy parents.
The only maintenance required is occasional dusting with a soft brush or gentle blowing to remove dust. We recommend doing this every 2-3 months, although in practice, our designs can maintain their fresh appearance for extended periods without any maintenance.
How to extend the life of the composition?
To enjoy the beauty of our arrangements for many years, it's worth remembering a few simple rules. Preserved plants in a child's room can last up to 10 years, provided basic maintenance rules are followed.
Our experience shows that the following are crucial:
- Avoiding direct sunlight (may cause colors to fade)
- Maintaining moderate air humidity
- Not placing the composition near heat sources (radiators, heaters)
- Protection against the possibility of tipping over or being thrown by a child
Inspiring arrangements for a children's room
A moss wall as the center of attention
Moss walls are becoming increasingly popular in children's rooms, providing a spectacular decorative element. A moss wall in a child's room creates a unique, eye-catching focal point for the room, which can be customized in color and theme to suit the child's interests.
At Vikingmoss we offer both ready-made moss panels and custom designs. Popular motifs include:
- Maps of the world or continents
- Motifs from fairy tales and animated films
- Abstract geometric patterns
- Children's names made of moss
Moss walls have the added benefit of acoustic properties – the natural properties of moss help reduce echoes and quieten the room, which promotes concentration and better relaxation.
Mobile decorative elements
For those who prefer more flexible solutions, we recommend mobile decorative elements. Portable arrangements made of stabilized plants allow for easy rearrangement of the nursery as the child's interests and preferences evolve.
Our offer includes:
- Wooden pictures with compositions of moss, stabilized plants or dried plants
- Botanical frames of various sizes
- Moss balls and wreaths
- Miniature gardens
These mobile elements can be easily rearranged, grouped or swapped, creating new arrangements and adapting the decor to changing needs.
