Design wallpaper in the interior

Decorating the walls with wallpaper is a great way to save the space of the room from everyday life and boredom. This is an opportunity to unleash creativity by making the room elegant and fashionable, in keeping with the spirit of modernity or with a slight touch of vintage. Today, the focus of attention is on various techniques that allow the design of wallpaper in the interior to be special. Despite the fact that the methods of decorating the walls are quite simple, each of them has its own characteristics and advantages.

Special features

Design wallpaper in the interior is akin to the art of the artist. Modern lining is a thoughtful design approach to decorating walls with a combination of wallpaper between themselves and other materials. Wallpapers are one of the most affordable and versatile finishing techniques, so it is they who today are paying special attention to designers.This material is used for interior decoration, everyone can work with it, this does not require the help of professional decorators.

The process of decorating the space with wallpaper begins with a visual inspection of the room, taking into account its features (presence of projections, niches). It is important to pay attention to the area and assess the degree of illumination: this is directly related to the purchase of material. It is necessary to take into account such nuances as humidity, practicality, look after areas that are more susceptible to pollution and places that need to be allocated.

Often it is the decoration of the walls with wallpaper that can turn the room’s faults into its merits. There is also such a nuance as neighbors: some types of material can reduce the noise level coming from neighboring apartments

Kinds

Before you go to the store for the purchase of wallpaper, it is necessary to find out their main types, relevant to the decoration. Not every material is suitable for design: some types of cladding have a holographic or fluorescent surface, which is not suitable for a stylish interior.The main part of the material is rolled, mostly wide sheets of a meter width, convenient for reducing the number of joints and the need to adjust the pattern.

From the huge range of materials presented by trademarks for sale, we can distinguish several types of wallpaper for decorating walls that have advantages, but not without drawbacks:

Paper

Wallpaper budget class, which are divided into single-layer (simplex) and two-layer (duplex) subspecies. The ruler has a short service life (no more than 5 years), different thickness (the cloths are thin and dense), mostly smooth glossy and matte surface, simple pattern, lack of relief. In the process of pasting material requires careful preparation of the walls, almost always demonstrates the unevenness of the base, is afraid of exposure to moisture and water.

Vinyl

The elite class finishes include several varieties, among which smooth, porous wallpapers and embossed silk screen printing are especially in demand. The material is made on the basis of vinyl or non-woven fabric, it is denser than paper analogues, it looks expensive,due to its structure, it is able to mask minor irregularities of the walls, is easy to use and has a relatively long service life (about 15 years). The disadvantage of the lining is the ability of the material to release formaldehyde into the air.

Flizelinovye

An alternative to vinyl paintings, roll finish on the basis of non-woven, characterized by elasticity and convenience pasting. This wallpaper fits perfectly on the surface of the walls, provides a smooth pasting butt, if necessary, allowing you to tighten the canvas to eliminate the gap between the bands. They are safe for users, durable, however, over time accumulate dust on the surface.

Textile

Roll wallpaper with a claim to premium, hinting at the special taste of the owners of the house, characterized by a pleasant surface texture. The work is demanding: they stick directly to the wall, excluding the ingress of excess glue on the front surface. They look expensive, soft, have a long service life, however, they need careful handling.

Glass fiber

A material based on a glass fiber substance that is given a clear shape by adding the necessary impregnations.Good wallpaper, characterized by high quality and performance characteristics. Have a different surface texture.

Liquid wallpaper

Alternative to rolled varieties, presented on the market in the form of packaged powder or ready-mixed (wet wallpaper). The material is unique with the texture of the pasted surface, better than the analogs, it provides sound insulation to the walls, it is applied with a construction roller or rubber trowel, like plaster. It is distinguished by the simplicity of gluing, allows you to create different pictures, change the intensity of the shade, add mother-of-pearl, glitter, gloss to the mass, adjust the degree of concentration of the material. With a lot of advantages, it is not resistant to moisture and mechanical damage, and therefore needs to be finished acrylic varnish.

Wall mural

Universal reception novice interior decorators, allowing you to easily choose the right companion. This finishing is done on a paper basis, glued in the same way, it needs careful preparation of the surface of the base, as it shows all the irregularities, tubercles and pits due to the small thickness.Depending on the type of pattern and its size, photo printing can be solid or in the form of strips glued to a vertical plane with the pattern overlapping. Simple material with a predominantly smooth surface that does not have to be corrected, as it can break when stretched.

In addition to the basic materials intended for the design of wall paper, there are varieties for painting. They are considered to be anti-vandal, perfectly rescued in combining wallpaper of two types, especially if the store does not have the desired shade. The main advantage of this finish is the possibility of multiple repainting of the front surface of the pasted wallpaper.

They have a meter width, which reduces the number of joints and the original relief texture, due to which they are a stylish solution when choosing a one-color companion to canvas with a pattern. It is easy to paint them: the paint evenly paints all the grooves of the relief, which makes the wallpaper voluminous and gives them an expensive appearance.

Advantages and disadvantages

The design of wallpaper in the interior of the apartment is a non-standard solution for decorating walls.Two or three types of wallpaper can be involved in the composition, and it is important that they are combined with each other and with the situation in general. In most cases, the process involves the reception of a combination of plain wallpaper and a companion with a print. The uniqueness of the design lies in the fact that the design can be conveyed through dyes, photo printing, stamping, gilding, glitter, surface texture and its relief.

Despite the different characteristics of the raw materials, presented in a wide range, most of the varieties are combined with each other. If desired, and the presence of taste, you can even combine the incompatible, creating a feeling of solidity and harmony. Design techniques allow you to bring the necessary notes to the space of the room, freshness, endowing it with individuality and subordinating the preferences of the owners of the house.

The design of the wallpaper, providing a combination, has a lot of advantages, it allows you to:

  • to carry out the design idea of ​​the room in full, and this can be done by hand;
  • beat problem areas of the square, hiding them by means of an accent elsewhere, or deliberately emphasizing the dignity of the premises;
  • divide the space of the room into separate functional areas, giving the room an unobtrusive organization;
  • to carry out pasting of walls from the remains of the facing remaining after the repair of other rooms, thereby supporting the idea of ​​stylistics;
  • make any bold decision to decorate the walls with wallpaper, while not overloading the room with an abundance of screaming contrasts;
  • save on the purchase of companions: in most cases, a canvas with a pattern does not need more than 1 roll of a meter width, while finishing will remain even taking into account the fit of the pattern;
  • to make an interior composition special, corresponding to a given theme of style, appropriate at any time of the year;
  • change the aesthetic perception of the home environment, regardless of the available furniture and additional furnishing accessories, visually beating the lack of light and space;
  • by means of properly selected shades, textures, placement, assemble together separate interior items, including bedding textiles, curtains, decorative pillows, decoration of lighting devices, images of paintings, panels;
  • use in decoration your favorite tones that have a positive impact on a personrelevant in any style, be it classical, ethnic, or modern design;
  • to give the room a premium, hinting at the status of the owners of the house, using the texture and the elite tones of the color palette.

Design wallpaper provides certain rules. Knowing this, manufacturers offer for sale paired (double) wallpaper, through which to implement any idea is much easier. Cloths have the same structure, identical shades, smooth transitions of the background and print. These materials are not limited in scope, so if you want you can buy any wallpaper. The main thing when buying is to pay attention to the consignment of goods: it must be one (this eliminates the risk of buying different shades of material).

Design wallpaper is available to everyone, but not always successful. Often this is due to inept selection of canvases, texture, density and color. It is impossible to combine materials based solely on external signs: status finishing does not accept simplicity. Luxury wallpapers are not combined with glossy cheap counterparts: gloss simplifies the premium nature of expensive wallpapers, creates a feeling of patches on the wall in the form of remnants after the repair of other rooms.Not every wallpaper is combined with photo wallpaper: sometimes the theme of an image, chosen extremely inappropriate for the purpose of a particular room, becomes a problem.

Few people pay attention to the width and topography of the wallpaper, combining incongruous. As a result, the finish looks weird, motley, breaking up the space up and down. The inept alternation of cloths by sticking contrasting companions destroys the proportions of the room, knocks down the height of the ceiling.

There is a wall design and other disadvantages, he:

  • does not give the desired effect if the approach to decorating the walls does not have the necessary training;
  • it is rather complicated in rooms with limited space, forcing to soften the print by means of a monochromatic companion;
  • requires careful selection of the accent zone, otherwise it is able to skew the walls, depriving the interior of expression;
  • depending on the type of finishing material and its status, compares all furniture and accessories with itself, limiting the number of items that can overload the space;
  • not able to perform correction of walls in apartments with a broken prospect, therefore eliminates the use of diagonal lines in the composition;
  • requires careful selection of prints for each type of material, otherwise, instead of the desired result, it creates a feeling of ripples in the eyes, irritating households and forcing them to change the lining.

Decor options

Finishing your dream is a snap. It does not matter, in an apartment or country house carry out repairs. With a good choice of material, you can dress up the space of the attic, the usual "Khrushchev", a cafe, studio apartments.

Consider a trim based on several examples:

  • highlight the accent zone of the wall with a protrusion can be plain wallpaper without a picture;
  • for the decoration of the wall of the children's room is well suited patchwork;
  • You can create an intimate atmosphere in the bedroom using gray wallpaper with embossed leaves;
  • bright accent sticker in the hall is relevant to highlight the fireplace area;
  • the bathroom interior is decorated with a combination of delicate turquoise wallpaper with sakura and decorative panels;
  • large print is appropriate in the kitchen, if you use a drawing, sustained in no more than two colors;
  • in the hallway you can glue canvases with various greens on a light background;
  • the walls around the bath can be covered with horizontal monochromatic canvases withrelief;
  • room with an area of ​​up to 20 square meters. m can be decorated with a combination of wallpaper with leaves, smoothing the contrast with white panels.

As for the narrow balcony, hall or loggia, the design depends on the design features of the space. If there is minimum space in the room, it is worth using zoning technique, highlighting the most practical area with wallpaper with bright or practical color and pattern. It is preferable to use simple prints: they do not overload the space. If there is little light in these rooms, the color of the wallpaper should not be dark.

This is especially true of the hallway: entering the apartment from the entrance should create a cozy atmosphere, which is possible when combining coffee and beige tones, shades of natural gamut, including green paint. In the hallway, loggia, corridor it is worth decorating the surfaces of the walls with abrasion resistant wallpaper, having the possibility of wet cleaning, wiping, treated with antimicrobial impregnation (resistant to the formation of fungus and mold). You should not carry out the design of a one-room apartment using several stylistic techniques: more often its space is limited, the eyes will get tired of climate change.

Prints and colors

Color combinations of wallpaper are multifaceted, almost every color can be presented in several shades, differing in color saturation, an infusion of white, pink or blue paint. Therefore, the palette is conventionally divided into warm and cold shades. Modern trends are addressed to soft warm tones: peach, soft pink, coral, cream and beige.

Fresh paint should be poured into the interior moderately. Among them, the new fashionable shades are mint and turquoise tones. Other current colors include olive, beige, orange, blue-gray, silver paint, a combination of white and gray, a mix of milky and divorced khaki.

Successful combinations of shades are:

  • chocolate, white and ivory;
  • blue, gray-blue and green-beige;
  • teal, sunny, apricot, brown;
  • pink, plum and gray;
  • aloe, mint, sand and aquamarine;
  • Aloe, watermelon, ivory and marsh.

The colors of this year's popular wallpaper is divided into several areas.

Among them stand out:

  • cloths with monograms;
  • geometric lines, intertwined in the original pattern;
  • two-color Egyptian ornaments;
  • flower styling;
  • embossed trees on a plain background;
  • interlacing branches with leaves;
  • Turkish motifs in the form of colorful ornaments;
  • exotic birds on the branches of trees;
  • fern leaves and palm trees.

This year, the emphasis is on the texture with embossed, through which the drawing on different walls looks harmonious and premium. Patterns that stand out against a plain background due to the velor pattern look no less colorful. Herbal motifs occupy the first place in the ranking of topics. Today they are a pattern of two to four soft shades of a color palette.

Combination with other materials

The uniqueness of the wallpaper is that they are perfectly combined with other finishing materials. Typically, this design technique is carried out on an individual project, taking into account the characteristics of the room and the existing interior decoration (wallpaper is selected to the existing material).

Depending on the texture, width, thickness, pattern, wallpaper can be used in conjunction with:

  • clapboard;
  • plastic panels;
  • laminate for walls.

With a masterful approach to decorating the wallpaper is well combined with the imitation of rough surfaces.

This may be a combination with imitation:

  • decorative plaster;
  • gypsum stucco;
  • masonry;
  • mosaics.

This technique implies an emphasis on the texture of the canvases. It is important to choose the right components of the design so that the surfaces do not compete with each other: if you choose brickwork, it is preferable to combine it with a matte texture of the wallpaper, choosing a finish from vinyl or non-woven materials. A large print is inappropriate here - just highlight the uniqueness of the relief of the wallpaper.

You can make a harmonious transition, choosing the wallpaper for painting: this will give the walls a monolithic look, choosing to accentuate the planes of the wallpaper under the panel or other inserts. In this case, it is worthwhile to beat the joints between the surfaces of different moldings, baguette or ceiling plinth, which are different in level from the wall, and decorate the canvases into decorative frames.

Do not overload the walls with an abundance of variegation. If you choose an unusual, rough and bright finish (for example, laminate with imitation of wooden boards), you should choose a component that smooths the aesthetic perception.In this combination is inappropriate art painting, birds of paradise and abstraction, as the emphasis should be one. The interior should comply with contrasting materials: sometimes it is enough to show a weak relief or to beat creative materials with decorative inserts

In the case of the panels easier: this technique allows you to soften the abundance of variegated prints, so as a lining, you can use different materials with bright colors. To arrange such a combination harmoniously, it is worth highlighting no more than one wall with an accent, choosing a calm companion in delicate shades of a pastel scale or a classic solid color without a pattern, but with an interesting surface texture.

For those who love eco-style interiors, you should look at the design using cork or bamboo wallpaper. Sometimes color matters: quite often this facing looks harmonious in the interior with laminate or imitation brickwork, changing the loft to country. However, this approach requires skill: not everyone succeeds in putting the accents right.

New design

Wall decoration is the same wallpaper in the past.The focus of the modern approach, which consists of several methods of combining wallpaper.

Stylish solutions are combinations:

  • horizontal;
  • vertical;
  • patchwork technique;
  • insert panels;
  • selection of large rectangular accents;
  • combining walls in contrast;
  • highlighting the design features of the room.

Horizontal combination is a bold technique by which walls can be made higher. He needs to be careful not to overload the room with articulation. This is not just an alternation of rolls: the sheets are glued parallel to the floor, using wallpaper with a smooth transition of the pattern. An alternative to this method is gluing wallpaper with relief to the wall: horizontal lines look stylish and new.

Vertical combination is the accentuation of the plane with vertical stripes. At the same time, for the accent, they are used by no more than two or three; the rest of the space is pasted over with a monotonous companion. In other cases, calm walls glue all the walls, with the exception of two accent bands, placing them from the corners to the center.

Patchwork technique is similar to patchwork.In fact, it is the selection of one wall or its part by the decor of multicolored fragments of square or rectangular shape of small size. The application is glued end-to-end in the form of classic or brick tiled masonry. This design is good for ethnic styles and needs to be necessarily smoothed with accent companion.

Inserted panels and the selection of large accents of a rectangular shape - a design with a similar principle of the layout of the wallpaper. This technique requires framing of contrasting paintings with baguette, plinth or polyurethane molding. In the first case, it makes sense to clearly select a fragment picture: the design resembles a kind of art gallery (the picture can be one or several). In the second method of decorating, a companion with an image can be bright, without a pattern, with a chaotic print that does not obey the symmetrical arrangement of the pattern.

Highlighting the walls with different wallpapers is a classic with which you can bring the right mood into the atmosphere. Typically, this design involves the allocation of one wall, after placing the furniture visible most of the plane.Most often they make up the dining area, the wall at the head of the bed, accentuate the wall of the sleeping area of ​​the children's room.

An equally interesting solution is to emphasize protrusions, niches, and multi-level walls. This technique allows you to visually increase the space, make the room surround, emphasize the individuality of the interior. More often in the work they use wallpaper of two colors, highlighting each face with their companion.

How to avoid mistakes?

Not always a repetition of design techniques gives the desired effect.

To avoid common mistakes, take note of a few tips from interior designers:

  • In a room of a small area (12 sq. M), bright colors and large print are out of place: the patterns should be close to the natural size, otherwise they will have a pressing effect.
  • Eliminate narrow canvases from the list of preferences: in most cases these are cheap paper coatings, the texture of which is capricious in combination.
  • Combining with the use of small prints should be deliberate: do not buy small stripes, peas, cage and mat - they look beautiful close, but on the general background they hit the eyes, negatively affecting the retina and optic nerve.
  • Acquire two companions at once: this is how the color of the wallpaper is eliminated, it is easier to choose the texture and make sure that one of the shades on the two canvases is identical.
  • Do not combine different styles: it is not always possible in different rooms, it is impossible to combine abstraction and conservatism, vintage and nanotechnology, retro and English style, minimalism and Arabic themes in one room.
  • The alternation of wallpaper by alternately gluing strips is unacceptable: it is ugly, splits a room into parts, depriving it of functional zones.
  • Do not allow the abundance of brightness: you can not stick on all the walls motley patterns, choosing two types of wallpaper with a pattern.
  • Dispense the use of print: it can not be much, the maximum that is possible - is the selection of one wall or one accent.
  • Do not confuse brightness and tone: shades of wallpaper can be combined with each other, brightness is acceptable in moderate volume and can not dominate.
  • If there is no experience in design yet, get photo wallpapers: they will allow you to enter two types of wallpapers as harmoniously as possible if they obey the approximate color range and subject matter.

In addition, take the texture as a basis: using a material with matte surfaces in the decoration, do not include gloss in the decor.If the African theme is conceived, you can support the animalistic print of accent wallpapers by a companion of a calm shade with a soft velor or plush texture.

If you want to add a strip, it is better to do this by choosing a material with embossing or relief: this way the design of the walls will be original, without screaming. By the way, the reception of the relief pattern allows a harmonious combination of canvases with different themes. It is widely used by trademarks in the issue of paired wallpapers for decorating the walls of any type of premises (kitchen, living room, children's room, study, home library, bathroom, toilet room, hallway, corridor).

Beautiful ideas in the interior

In order to clearly understand what interesting examples of design look like, you should turn to the ideas of professionals:

  • You can select the accent zone by combining horizontal wallpaper with imitation of the texture of a wooden board, emphasizing the protrusion by means of wallpaper in the form of a picture with the effect of an aged surface: solidity is achieved by an identical color scheme.
  • Accent functional wall with a TV, shelves, speaker system will look stylish if you arrange it with light gray wallpaper with embossed lace.
  • You can perform unobtrusive zoning with the help of three wallpapers with an identical background and a different gilding pattern: the harmony of functional areas contributes to the organization of space.
  • Having pasted on the walls beautiful wallpaper of an identical shade of a different degree of saturation, it is possible to designate the accent zone at the head of the bed: the light tone is a soft contrast, highlighting the rich accent.
  • To demonstrate the premiumness of the living room, you can use gray wallpaper with monograms, decorated in a frame of molding and accentuated by a border to match the top.

Choosing a wallpaper, you should pay attention to your own preferences: not a single trendy design will create the desired mood if it is not initially liked. Designers insist that the print carry a positive atmosphere in any room. Only then you can be firmly convinced that the design of the room, made with wallpaper, will look stylish, fashionable and relevant.
