Colors

The choice of ornament and shade of wallpaper is very time consuming and scrupulous occupation. It depends on how the room will look and what mood it will bring to life.

It should be noted that for each room it is required to select its own special color and pattern. For example, wallpaper under a tree, brick or stone will be unsuitable for a child’s room, and natural bamboo will not last long in a wet bathroom.

The first is to estimate the area of ​​the dwelling. On a small room you can buy wallpaper with small but rare drawings. It can be various flowers or trees: Sakura, Fuchsia, Gerberas, as well as any other objects and figures. But the material for walls with densely applied or large applications, for example, with orchids or in a cage, visually reduce the room.

And for dark and poorly lit rooms it is worth picking up material with warm shades. For example, with orange, olive, yellow, gold, sand and similar.

Do not forget about the furniture in the room. Wall material should be in harmony with it and not be contrasted. For example, wallpaper with light pastel shades or with pink ornaments are perfect for red furniture.

For blue furnishings, purchase white, green or blue.

For beige furniture, sand, orange, yellow, white, light brown shades are considered ideal wallpapers.

Combining

Recently, it has become very popular with designers to use a combination of two or more wallpapers in the same room, differing in color, pattern, texture. It is worth noting that the majority of companies produce collections of companions on the modern construction market. Therefore, you can easily choose the style of the room without the help of experts. But you still need to know some of the nuances.

There are four main ways of sticking material of two types:

  • Spectrum. The main rule of this combination is the use of two different shades of the same color. For example, green and pistachio, blue and azure, red and coral. This design is interesting in that it is possible to place a different shade on each wall, but according to the principle from dark to light.
  • Balancing. Here should be used wallpaper with 3D drawings, inscriptions or ornaments and simple monophonic. Both materials should be selected in such a way that they are in harmony with each other shade.
  • The opposite of colors. Following from the name, the combination takes place with the help of absolutely opposite shades. For example, sticking black and white material.But, it should be remembered that such an option can adversely affect mood, behavior and psyche as a whole. Therefore, it is best to entrust this design to a professional.
  • The texture of the material. It is best to buy wallpaper of different textures in one color and shade. For example, dark non-woven wallpaper with a brick ornament and monophonic material of a coffee shade.

Using a combination of wallpaper, you can create an original design of the dwelling or hide some flaws.

For example, to hide irregularities or wires on the wall, you should combine several shades and divert attention from defects.

If the living space is too large and it contains several zones, the combination method will be most welcome. With the help of various wallpapers, you can safely define the boundaries without the use of partitions, curtains, furniture.

There are ways to combine, expanding the space. For example, if at least one wall is covered with wallpaper of bright colors, then the room will visually appear much more spacious.

In modern design, the premises mainly use two types of combination: horizontal or vertical stripes.Since striped combinations have their own nuances, it is worthwhile to take this action very carefully and examine all the pros and cons.

How to choose?

Before you go to the store, you should properly evaluate the room and understand exactly what wallpaper is needed.

Glossy, thin wallpaper with an ornament or a small floral pattern can not be used on uneven walls. In such cases, it is best to purchase stylish embossed and dense materials.

In rooms where there are children, animals or frequent attendance, it is best to use glass wall covering or other wear-resistant stylish material.

If the room is bright, it is necessary to pick up rich colors and patterns. For example, wallpaper with an ornament for a fresco. But in a dark room you need to use bright, warm colors and patterns. For example, in a kitchen with windows to the north, light wallpaper with olives or floral ornaments would be appropriate.
