White color is neutral. It calms, pacifies, causes associations with purity and freshness.

White wallpapers are used and for organizing the perfect background, and for creating luxurious interiors.

An apartment or house designed in this way looks elegant and even solemn. On a snow-white background, any colors gain additional brightness. The outlines of objects are perfectly clear and expressive.Especially impressive in this interior look like art. That is why paintings and art photographs are often used to decorate walls, and vases, figurines, collectibles are used as decor.

The advantages of using white wallpaper in the interior are obvious. Consider them in more detail:

• Optical effect. Light colors give the effect of visual expansion of space. This is especially important for rooms that do not have large dimensions. Also, whiteness is recommended in case of lack of natural lighting. Walls of this color reflect light streams and make the room brighter. Even with massive furniture, the bright interior will appear light and airy. It will be easy for you to breathe and pleasant to be in it.

• Versatility. Snow-white wallpapers are universal. They are combined with almost all existing shades. You can create an unobtrusive interior in soft colors or come up with an original design with spectacular contrasts and accents. As for the style, there are also no restrictions. Elegant classics, romantic Provence, gruff loft, laconic minimalism,futuristic hi-tech - you can choose any option. White wallpaper will organically fit into any style of the room.

• Variety of options. Despite the neutrality of color, white wallpaper may look different. Even monochrome variants can have an interesting relief structure (imitation of stone, plaster) or beautiful embossing. A variety of prints make the coatings unique and give them a special mood.

There are few disadvantages of such products, but they should also be taken into account when choosing:

• Marco. The slightest pollution is noticeable on the light walls. Therefore, the use of such coatings for the kitchen and hallway is undesirable. The same goes for children's rooms and homes that have animals. However, modern technologies easily solve this problem. Vinyl washable products perfectly tolerate both dry and wet cleaning. Such wallpaper is very easy to keep clean.

• Brightness. Indoors with a lot of white is always light, and this is a plus. However, if the room is located on the south side and in the daytime it is simply flooded with sunlight, the effect may be unfavorable. Excessive brightness will create great tension for the eyes and quickly tire. In such a situation, it is recommended to avoid glossy surfaces and dilute the atmosphere with muted, dull tones. A good option would be to choose a wallpaper with a not too motley pattern or a combination of a white coating on the same wall with other colors in the rest of the room.

• Cold. For some people, the white interior is associated with a hospital ward. In such rooms, they feel uncomfortable. Even a beautifully furnished room may seem cold and uncomfortable to them. In this case, it is recommended to choose wallpapers with floral motifs or golden patterns that create a positive mood. Monochrome walls can be decorated with paintings, beautiful photographs, and warm natural colors (brown, sand, cream) can be used as a shade of furniture and decor.

In addition to the paper models with which wallpaper production began, modern manufacturers offer other, innovative options.

The range of vinyl products is wide. Many options mimic the texture of fabric, brick or decorative plaster, which expands the possibilities of design. The disadvantage of this type of coating can only be called poor breathability.

For a luxurious interior in the style of Rococo or Renaissance ideal wallpaper, reminiscent of these chic fabrics. This is not just an illusion. The second layer of such coatings is textiles. It can be velor, silk or other fabric fibers. This design can turn a room into a luxury apartment. However, the cost of this material is much higher than the price of vinyl and paper counterparts. Besides, such wallpaper can not be washed.

Initially, this type of product was used to decorate small areas in the kitchen or bathroom. Modern options are suitable not only for this. With the help of self-adhesive wallpaper, you can arrange any room without special skills. In this case, you do not even need glue.The seamy side of products is already covered with a sticky base. You just need to choose a flat surface and, removing the protective film, stick the coating.

This type of wallpaper deserves special attention. From the union of natural raw materials and high technologies, a unique material for wall decoration appeared. The coating is made from the bark of cork oak. As a result of processing panels or flexible rolls are obtained. As the basis of products can act flizelin or paper. Also distinguish the baseless version and self-adhesive options.

The advantages of cork are obvious:

• The natural texture of the material forms a unique beautiful pattern.

The texture of modern materials is also diverse. You can choose a smooth finish with glossy overlays or matte wallpaper with embossed embossed. Fans of glitter and solemnity can opt for a design with mother of pearl, sparkles, silver or gold plating. In addition to models with three-dimensional patterns, other textured options are presented in the assortment. The most popular effect is imitation brickwork.

For each style of interior you can choose the design of a suitable theme. For example, in a classic room, wallpaper with exquisite monograms would be appropriate, a floral print would fit into Provence style, and for a modern interior you can choose geometry, large flowers or abstract patterns.

Wallpapers can be used not only for wall decoration. They can be stuck on the ceiling. It can be a smooth monophonic canvas, an interesting volume texture or even an interesting print. Such design will make the room original at small expenses. Although it is worth considering that this coating does not withstand high humidity.
