Light wallpaper: combinations of options in the interior

Even ten years ago, the light coating on the walls caused associations only with hospital corridors and wards, but today white wall decoration is the trend. This is largely due to the fact that the philosophy of “Hugge” or the happiness in Danish, as it is called, has become popular. Danes were the first in the XXI century who called the abundance of light in the room the main secret of a good mood.

Russian buildings, as a rule, are designed in such a way that a window opening does not allow so many sun rays to pass through, so people in Russia have to resort to various tricks to visually lighten the room, including tricks in terms of interior decoration.

In addition, it is advisable to choose the wallpaper of light shades in the room in the event that for any technical reasons there are problems with electrical appliances and lamps do not give a very bright light. The decoration of the walls in this case will serve as a reflector and an additional source of illumination, though not very powerful.

Of course, the wallpaper of light shades can bring a lot of trouble - they quickly get dirty, covered with dust, impractical if there are small children in the house. But all these problems today are quite easily solved. After all, you can buy more expensive wallpapers that are designed for wet cleaning or covered with a special protective layer.

And those who have pets, will be happy to find that traces of cat's claws are much less noticeable on bright wallpaper, while scratched grooves immediately appear on bright or dark ones.

Many people mistakenly believe that light wallpaper is only a white coating.However, it should be understood that this palette is much more diverse, and modern construction stores are ready to offer wallpapers of any tone and color. Accordingly, when choosing a light color scheme for the future decoration of the room, you can safely count on delicate mint wallpapers, vintage combinations of olive tones with gold, and cool pale lilac colors, against which green-colored patterns emerge.

Of course, the classic is the color of aivor which will fit, perhaps, in any interior. But many people prefer him a snow-white color, which will be a good base for bright pieces of furniture, for example, a light green armchair or a sofa.

However, when choosing a color scheme, you still need to first of all proceed from what kind of mood you intend to create indoors, because each color, regardless of its intensity, has its features in the impact on the human psyche:

• pale lilac, light blue - these are colors that give a feeling of lightness. As a rule, they are offered to choose on the decoration of the walls in the rest rooms (bedrooms and nurseries);

• light green, mint colors act as an antidepressant and help to tune in to the working mood, so they will be appropriate in the office;

• pastel yellow will play a good role if the owner of the room does not have enough sunlight and heat;
• Red shades (even slight saturation) can create a feeling of anxiety, therefore, they should be avoided in areas for relaxation.

And the last caveat - wallpaper warm shades look good in small rooms, because they reflect the light, without causing the feeling that you are in an uncomfortable hospital room, and cold shades, on the contrary, is a good solution for spacious rooms.

The main question that worries both the professional designer and the ordinary landlord who makes repairs: whether or not the bright wallpaper will fit into the interior and whether there will be a feeling of discomfort from the predominance of white. In order that the wallpaper was not a "flashy" element of decor, but only served as an unobtrusive background for the overall decoration of the room, you need to follow the simple rules of compatibility of interior elements:

• It is necessary first of all to determine the color scheme in which all the furniture in the room will be sustained. You can opt for light-colored furniture, and then the whole room will be filled with air and light.But in this case, you can overdo it with monochrome and turn the room into a dull and boring place, in which there is nothing to catch the eye.
• In addition, excessive abundance of light can blind the eyes and create discomfort for those in the room. In order to avoid this, choose light furniture with an interesting pattern that contrasts with the base color. Thus, you will set the overall style of the room (as a pattern, the eastern ornament or vintage monograms can be used) and dilute the whiteness.

• The second option is furniture that is contrasting to the walls (for example, a deliberately dark bed with a bedspread of a deep and rich color or, on the contrary, a bright and bold-looking sofa that immediately attracts the attention of the visitor).

• Gender is something that you should also think about when choosing light wallpaper. It works the same rule as with the choice of colors for furniture. You can stay on the monochrome version or contrast, the main rule - the temperature of the color palette of all surfaces should be the same. If the wall is covered with wallpaper of warm shades, then the linoleum should be put accordingly.

• The combination of "white walls and white floor" is also possible, especially the Scandinavians, who now set the tone in the construction and design market, like it.

• But, despite the fact that designers like to experiment in this matter, lovers of classical combinations consider interiors in which the color of the floor is at least a couple of tones darker than the walls are more harmonious.

• Window openings and doors can be made contrast if the room is large enough. Particularly interesting is the bright blue windows and the door against the white walls - this immediately evokes associations with sunny Greece and can serve as a good antidepressant for winter cold evenings. If it is necessary to expand the space visually, the choice should be made only in favor of light colors, preferably almost completely matching in color with the wall decoration.

Textiles are traditionally a bright accent in the room and the finishing touch in the whole room setting; therefore, it is preferable to select the curtains in some way against the walls - either with an unusual color or due to a bright and eye-catching pattern.

In the case when the designer prefers minimalism, A game with bright color spots is a must.

Great attention should be paid to the quality of curtains; light fabrics should be expensive or at least look expensive. Otherwise, you risk turning your room into an example of bad taste.

To choose the right finish for the walls, first of all, you should be guided by what mood and impression the room should evoke: if you need to create an effect of lightness and lightness, it is better to avoid options with a large pattern, there is a risk to make the design too intrusive. Such wallpapers are most likely suitable for a corridor, or you can move this more active decor into the hall.

The texture of the coating chosen for the apartment also plays a big role - textured wallpapers with the effect of wear and relief are preferable for large and spacious rooms (in this case you need to buy special wallpapers for plaster), but it will be better to stick glossy ones in a small bedroom or nursery (acrylic wallpapers with gloss effect well reflect natural light).

An unusual ornate frame for a photo or a cuckoo clock will perfectly stand out against a wall in a neat little flower. It is better to leave classic ornaments until then, when you need to make repairs in the hall or in the kitchen.
