Since the bedroom is a place where people spend most of their lives, everything that is in this room should be environmentally friendly and not threaten human health.

Many people use it today, considering the safest material.But high-quality modern wallpapers need to be glued with high-quality raw materials, otherwise the wall covering can be spoiled.

There are three groups of wallpaper glue:

  • for paper;
  • vinyl;
  • universal.

Each group differs in composition.

On any pack of glue from a reputable manufacturer, there is an instruction where it is indicated how much water should be used to dilute the glue and how many rolls the mixture will suffice. Adhesive can be applied directly to the wallpaper, as well as on the wall - it depends on the type of wallpaper.

When buying a foreign-made glue, you need to remember that it is only suitable for surfaces that have been primed with a primer; the walls must be perfectly flat. The price range of glue depends on additives, fillers and its brand.

Matte or satin platinum-colored wallpaper with an unusual texture will be the decoration of any modern bedroom. Today, buyers are more likely to choose monophonic options, but if they seem too dull, you can dilute them with bright accessories, for example, a red photo frame on the wall.

Who does not like the solid gray, ash wallpaper with a picture will be the best way out. You can buy pictures with flowers, geometric patterns, cells, stripes, peas of different sizes. Also, the room for sleeping and rest will be decorated with gray wallpaper with small details, almost invisible to the human eye.
