Wallpaper in the interior of the apartment: design ideas and ways of combining

Wallpapers for many decades are a popular way to cover walls. With the help of properly selected canvases, the room is given not only an aesthetic appearance, but also an exclusive design. One of the ways to create an original interior is to combine wallpaper - a combination of several types of coatings on the territory of one room.

As with any finishing procedure, the combination of wallpaper has a number of characteristics and features that must be considered before the start of the process itself. For a successful result, you must follow certain requirements:

• It is best to choose the wallpaper of the same company and the same way of pasting. In many cases, you can use one catalog to decorate the walls in a room;
• Both colors of the coating should be chosen taking into account the deficiencies of the room, because the combination is a means of visual improvement of the room and getting rid of layout errors;

• an accompanying condition when pasting a room is often the division of a room into zones. This technique will most effectively emphasize the combination of different wall coverings;
• defining the nuances before choosing a combination and sticking - the area of ​​the room, especially its configuration, as well as the height of the ceilings. Without taking into account these components it is impossible to arrange the colors so that they emphasize the room only from advantageous sides;

• In addition to wallpaper, the interior uses many other textures. It is important that there is harmony between the coating on the walls and these elements. Especially it concerns cases when you use non-standard materials in furniture and a decor of the room;
• when planning the location of the wallpaper, consider which part of the walls will play an accent role, and which part will be neutral. Often, this principle underlies the combination technique;

• the color and design of all components of the ensemble should be in harmony with the general concept of the interior. This is especially important if you choose prints with prints. They should not violate the concept. It is recommended to opt for neutral colors if you are not sure how the pattern fits the overall style of the room;
• the harmony of colors in the selection must be checked in daylight conditions.

In order for wallpapers in combination with each other not to look ridiculous, you need to remember about the compatibility factor. Not all colors and prints look good in a single union, so there is species classificationhelping to make a beautiful ensemble.

Among the most common variants of combinations are the following types of ensembles:

• combination of two monochromatic textures. It is suitable for those who do not like pretentiousness and flashy details in the design of the walls. Those who like to decorate rooms with paintings and other objects of decor also stop at this version;

• popular are wallpaper companions. One type is a monochromatic coating, while the other, made in the same color scheme, includes an ornament or patterns;

• sometimes both textures from the combination have an ornament. If on the main wallpaper it is usually small and frequent, then on the accent part it is presented in the form of large details, patterns and combinations;

• in combination with plain wallpaper often use a coating with a geometric pattern. It can play an important role in visually changing the space of a room, add severity to the room or soften the sharp features of the layout;
• A bold decision is the choice of two different types of wallpaper patterns and their combination with plain surfaces. In this scenario, the interior acquires harmony only due to the fact that in each of the drawings there is the color of the monochromatic part of the room.

Another key factor in pasting a room will be a palette of combining shades with each other:

• One of the most compatible colors is beige. It can be combined with almost any bright shade. Most harmoniously with him in the ensemble look wallpaper brown tones, shading a bright space;

• Similar in color are shades like pink and purple, blue and blue, red and peach. There are combinations in bright green and light green tones. In these cases it is very easy to determine which color plays an accent role, therefore it is almost impossible to spoil the appearance of the walls;
• some like to play with bright colors. This technique justifies its originality, but not always the result is successful. Rich colors often interrupt or form an imbalance in the atmosphere of a room;

• any color and print will be combined with a black or white tone. Many people dilute the set of wallpaper with just one of these colors in order to give the interior either freshness or additional rigor;

• For those who love the techniques of radical contrasts, there is a combination of black and white. Often it is accompanied by the presence of patterns and abstractions on the walls so that the room does not look gloomy.

To any room appeared in a favorable light, there are options for paired wallpaper, arranged in various combinations with respect to each other. Consider a few harmonious combinations:

• horizontal combination directed to the optical expansion of space. The border between the textures is a horizontal line slightly below the middle of the wall or in its upper part. This band can be distinguished by using baseboards and other accent textures. In the lower part, there are often vertical stripes, while at the top one can observe an abstract pattern that blends in color with the wallpaper below;

• in order to increase the height of ceilings with wallpaper, create vertical accents. For a coating that is different from the main one, a place in the middle part of the wall or in an angular space is allocated In most cases, these areas have a vertical pattern. This technique also proves useful in zoning a room;

• Patterned inserts play not only a role in the optical change of space. Sometimes they give the room a luxury and presentable.The pattern on the accent may overlap with the textile ornament in the setting;
• in the overall rooms the wallpaper is combined in a special way. Most of the walls are occupied by the main color, and only the corner parts of the room are reserved for contrasting wallpapers. This technique makes the appearance of the room more accurate;
• For those who are not afraid of difficulties in finishing on the way to a magnificent interior, a combination technique with shreds will be suitable. It is the pasting of the walls with shreds of wallpaper, which can be of various sizes. As a rule, all parts are designed either in the same style or in a common color scheme. When they are put together (like a mosaic), the interior of the room becomes truly creative;

• An interesting option is the design of the walls using 3D technology. It is used to create volumetric landscapes on the floor surface, to increase the space of a room or to complement the interior concept with a fascinating pattern.

• the layout of the wallpaper in one room is appropriate if it has a special piece of furniture that requires attention. This object often creates a relief in the wall. An example of such solutions is a fireplace or bollards. Sometimes rest and sleep areas are distinguished by a separate type of wall covering;
• often walls are decorated with decorative plinths or frames. The space in them contrasts with the main color of the walls. It is on these parts of the overlap that the wallpaper is used with a different color and pattern;
