Striped wallpaper in the interior of apartments

In the 70s of the last century, a new fashion came in for finishing home surfaces, when the structuring method became the main feature for decorating space: a game of colors, proportions and geometric parameters was used.

Striped wall coverings have always been fashionable, because they can attract everyone’s attention and make the most unforgettable impression on any person. The use of various colors of striped paintings will make the interior dynamic and catchy. It is only necessary to know which shades can be safely and safely combined with each other.

These canvases can seriously change the visual perception of any dwelling, making it higher or slightly wider. The main thing here is not to confuse the products themselves, since horizontal strip wall coverings visually reduce the space in heightwhile expanding it. The vertical bar visually makes the room high. The choice of such a “striped” direction will always look better than a single-color one, because the strip is much more entertaining.

Light stripes look soft and give the interior elegance. Rest in this room will be truly full. If you need to give the room a lively, charged with a good mood, then it is better to use a transverse bright strip. The variety of striped cloths is huge, the wallpaper can be:
