The Magnetic Dino Wallpaper is hand-drawn and lined with magnetic material that allows for [moveable magnetic characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tile-town) and elements to be added or removed at will. While the base design depicts dinosaurs, leafy greens and trees, kids are able to add on a variety of magnets from the [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock) seller's shop. Installing the interactive wallpaper requires a few steps: pasting the magnet-receptive liner to the wall and following up with a white lining paper, then applying the wallpaper and finishing it off with a protective varnish. Notably, the interactive Magnetic Dino Wallpaper recently won Etsy's inaugural Global Design Awards. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Interactive Wallpaper Designs:** New designs of interactive wallpapers are becoming popular, providing opportunities for augmented reality integration and customizable experiences. - **Magnetic Material Integration:** The use of magnetic material in various products is on the rise, allowing for unique interactive experiences and customizable features. - **Child-friendly Interactive Decor:** There is an increasing demand for interactive decor specifically designed for children, encouraging imagination and playfulness in their living spaces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can benefit from the integration of interactive wallpaper designs by offering innovative and customizable decor solutions to clients. - **Toy Manufacturing:** Toy manufacturers can explore the use of magnetic material in their products to create interactive and educational toys that enhance children's imagination and creativity. - **Wallpaper Manufacturing:** Wallpaper manufacturers can tap into the trend of interactive wallpapers by developing products that allow for customization and personalization, attracting customers looking for unique home decor solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Customizable Kids Wall Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodleface.md) - [Renter-Friendly Wallpaper Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renter-friendly-wallpaper.md) - [Interactive Fossil-Inspired Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-dinosaur-costume.md) - [Dinosaur Tile STEAM Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dino-adventure-pack.md) - [Digital Magnetic Toy Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tenki-spliced-magnetic-attraction-toy.md) - [Folk Art-Inspired Wallpapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backdrop.md) - [Artful Seaweed-Inspired Bin Magnets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-edition.md) - [Digital Dinosaur Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bitzee-jurassic-world.md) - [Artistic Magnetic Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scacco-matto-lamp.md)
