What to consider when choosing a wallpaper with graffiti?

The thirst to change your life and bring some special zest to it often leads a person to the beginning of the repair in his home. In order to truly change your home, you need to replace the wallpaper, but their classic version is less and less in line with the requirements of modernity. This fact has a fairly simple explanation: people want to spend most of their time where everything coincides with their tastes, creates harmony for the soul, pleases the eye and helps to feel such a simple but necessary happiness.

The term “graffiti” is of Italian origin, and its root word translates roughly as “scratched”. A logical conclusion follows from this: the represented artistic art may have come from ancient times - those times when primitive people only invented rock art.

Despite the above, the special popularity and the well-known distinctive look came to graffiti only in the middle of the last century. The place of rebirth was America, or rather its special part - gray and poor streets. All suitable surface drawings began to be sprayed with paint. Graffiti was not only an art for the poor American rogue - they turned into a way of expression for the protesters who were unhappy with the current system of the country. These people did not stop even after the announcement of their activities as an official violation of the law, for which punishment was imposed.

In this type of wallpaper should be very carefully and with particular attention to detail to approach the further selection and acquisition of the necessary materials.

It is important not to forget about the observance of stylistic combinations. Wallpaper with graffiti is a truly modern solution, and it should be well combined with the overall design pattern in an apartment or house. Such harmony is possible, for example, with minimalism or high-tech. But for ethnic, Mediterranean and other similar styles it is better to choose another option.

Further, do not neglect the soft colors that restrain the sharpness of the transitions of brighter shades. This is necessary to avoid the sensation of "cramps" in the eyes, which often leads to fatigue when staying indoors for a long time.

For example, in the bedroom of the child will look great:

• Characters of various works;
• Representatives of the animal world;
• Images of any hobbies.

For other rooms also fit:

• Landscapes;
• Abstraction;
• Portraits.

If there are no problems with all this, it remains only to study the instruction:
