Tips for choosing

Glowing wallpaper is better to use as a design accent in a particular room. This will make the room more expressive. It is important to consider the purpose of the room for which they are selected. Small drawings glow dimly, large-scale canvas, emitting a powerful glow, installed, for example, in the bedroom, can interfere with restful sleep, especially sensitive people.

One wall is chosen for the decor, since it is very difficult to be in the room where all the walls are lit.It happens that not the whole image glows, but some of its fragments.

The universal solution of 3D decor for all rooms (nursery, living room, bedroom) - the starry sky.

If the panoramic fluorescent wallpaper - this is your dream, note that they are only suitable for large rooms, as for the correct perception of the image you need a certain distance. Within the limits of a small room, it will not be possible to appreciate the beauty of the canvas. The way out for small rooms is to decorate the ceiling with luminous images. The size of the panoramic canvases can be different: from 1.3x1.8 m2 to 3x5 m2. Cost varies by size. The average price on the market is 1500 rubles per 1 m2.

When choosing a plot for wallpaper, keep in mind that the same composition can quickly get bored. But changing the coating with the same regularity as the paintings and other wall accessories will not work. It is best to choose for the image the motifs that surround us in everyday life: the sea and its inhabitants, celestial phenomena, nature. Psychologists are sure that the brain perceives such images best of all.

You should not choose wallpaper with images of popular people (actors, politicians), frames from the film, architecture, as these pictures will quickly get bored.

If the room is spacious enough you can use a removable fluorescent image or set the composition on the grommetthat will allow to update the panel from time to time or to remove it if necessary.

How to glue?

The process of pasting a room with neon wallpaper will not be difficult, since it is no different from working with vinyl material. Before you glue the luminous images, you must make the walls absolutely smooth and even, remove all roughness and bumps. Wallpaper does not require impregnation with glue, so the latter is applied directly to the wall. For fluorescent models suitable the same adhesive as for conventional.

Neon wallpapers will appeal to creative individuals, seeking to become the owners of everything new and unusual, dreamy and romantic natures, practical people who want to save on electricity.
