Introduction: Why personalized prints make the perfect gift
You've just found out you're pregnant. Or maybe your baby has already arrived, and now you're staring at the empty walls of their room, wondering: How do I create a unique space that reflects how special they are? You've seen thousands of generic options online, but none of them truly excite you. You want something unique, meaningful, that tells THEIR story .
Here's the problem: 82% of first-time parents buy generic decorations that could belong to any child. Posters with generic phrases, animal prints you can find in every store, or generic "catalog" decorations. The result: a pretty but soulless room that doesn't reflect the unique magic of that specific baby.
Personalized prints with name and date of birth completely change this scenario. They're not just decoration; they're the first gift that celebrates your child's identity, a tangible keepsake of their early days, and a unique piece that no one else in the world has.
In this article you'll discover everything about personalized children's prints: why they're the best option for children's rooms, how to choose the perfect design according to your style, what information to include (and what to avoid), the best ways to present them as a gift, ideas for combining them with other decor, and exactly why "Hello my Snail" by Kago Studio is different from anything you've seen.
By the end of this book, you'll know exactly how to create that unique and meaningful space you envisioned when you found out you were going to be a parent. And the best part: you'll achieve it with minimal investment but maximum emotional impact.
Chapter 1: What are personalized prints and why are they revolutionizing children's room decor?
Definition: More than just a poster with a name
A personalized children's print is a unique artistic illustration that incorporates specific details of the baby (name, date of birth, time, weight, measurement) in a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing design.
REASON #1: IMMEDIATE EMOTIONAL CONNECTION
When you enter a room with a personalized print, you see "LUCAS's room, who was born on May 15, 2024 at 3:47, weighing 3.2kg."
REASON #2: A GIFT THAT LASTS FOREVER
Toys get broken. Clothes get too small. Stuffed animals end up forgotten in a closet.
A personalized print:
- It stays in the room throughout childhood
- You can move into your first teen bedroom
- When he grows up, it will be a tangible reminder of his early days
- Many adults retain it throughout their lives
Emotional value: Incalculable
REASON #3: UNIQUE AND EXCLUSIVE
In a world of mass-produced products, custom sheets are truly unique .
Your child is unique. Their decor should be too.
REASON #4: VERSATILE FOR ANY DECORATIVE STYLE
Nordic style room? ✓ Minimalist custom print
Boho style? ✓ Print with earth tones and natural elements
Modern colorful style? ✓ Vibrant custom print
Timeless classic style? ✓ Elegant print with carefully chosen typography
The best custom prints adapt to YOUR style, they don't force you to adapt your room to them.
Chapter 2: "Hello my Snail" - The design that makes you fall in love
The story behind the design
"Hello my Snail" was born from a simple but powerful idea: to create the first official presentation of the baby to the world .
The snail, with its little house on its back, symbolizes:
- Home: The baby's first home (the mother's womb) and their new home (their room)
- Calm: The slow pace of the first few days
- Protection: The shell that protects, like parents protect
- Growth: The snail grows with its house, just as the child will grow in their space
Design elements: Every detail counts
ELEMENT #1: THE PROTAGONIST SNAIL
Illustrated with soft lines and a tender expression, the snail is neither childish nor cartoonish. It's elegant, timeless, and works equally well in a baby's room or an 8-year-old's bedroom.
Why it matters: Many "baby" picture books are too childish. By age 5, children want to replace them. "Hello My Snail" grows with them.
ELEMENT #2: CAREFUL TYPOGRAPHY
The baby's name is in clear, legible typography that respects the importance of their identity.
Hierarchical size:
- [BABY'S NAME] (the main character)
- Birth details (supplementary but present)
ELEMENT #3: CUSTOMIZABLE DATA
Included by default:
- Baby's full name
- Date of birth (day/month/year)
Optional (depending on your choice):
- Time of birth
- Birth weight
- Measurement at birth
- Additional personalized phrase
Flexibility: You can include only what you want. Some parents prefer minimalism (just name and date), others want all the details.
ELEMENT #4: COLOR PALETTE
Available options:
YELLOW VERSION:
- Ideal for: Nordic, minimalist, and natural style rooms
- Advantage: Works with any genre, timeless
SOFT BLUE VERSION:
- Ideal for: Fresh, bright rooms, Mediterranean style
- Advantage: Masculine without being stereotypical
PINK VERSION:
- Ideal for: Elegant rooms, modern romantic style
- Advantage: Sophisticated feminine, not "bubblegum pink"
GREEN VERSION:
- Ideal for: Nature, adventure, organic style rooms
- Advantage: Original, unisex, very current 2026
Available size
30 x 40cm - €35
- Ideal for: Wall above crib, changing table, main area
- It works: As a main piece

Chapter 7: Care and preservation of your print
How to keep colors vibrant for years
ENEMY #1: DIRECT SUNLIGHT
Problem: UV rays fade any print (even museum quality) in 2-5 years
Solution:
✓ NEVER hang on a wall in direct sunlight for several hours/day
✓ If only option: UV glass in frame (add €15-25 for frame)
✓ Ideal: Interior walls or indirect light
Shelf life:
- No direct sunlight: 50+ years of perfect color
- Direct sunlight without protection: 2-5 years before noticeable discoloration
ENEMY #2: HUMIDITY
Problem: Paper (even premium) can curl in very high humidity
Solution:
✓ Avoid hanging in bathrooms or areas of extreme humidity.
✓ Normal children's room: Perfect (humidity controlled)
✓ If humidity is high: Frame with glass protects
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
If WITHOUT framing (rare, but possible):
- Vacuum only with soft attachment
- NEVER rub with cloths
- NEVER liquids
If WITH frame + glass (the norm):
- Clean glass with regular glass cleaner
- Dry thoroughly to avoid leaving marks.
- Once a month is enough
When to change the sheet metal (signs)
DECORATIVE CHANGE (Not due to damage):
- Child aged 8-10 wants "grown-up" decorations
- Complete room style makeover
- Moving to a new house/room
In these cases: KEEP THE SHEET!
- Store it in a document folder
- Give it to him when he's an adult (exciting memory)
EXCHANGE DUE TO DAMAGE (rare if well cared for):
- Visible discoloration (only if exposed to direct sunlight)
- Physical damage (tear, stain)
Solution: Reprint
