Combined wallpaper in the interior

To create a unique interior, stylish and fashionable design of the room, designers are calling to turn their attention to the possibility of combining different wallpapers in one space. There are lots of ways of such unification, each has its own purpose and its own pros and cons. Consider in this article all aspects of combining wallpaper.

Modern wallpaper manufacturers have long been offering several suitable types of wallpaper to combine in one room. Designers develop special collections in which double wallpaper companions are presented, made in the same color range, from the same material, with the same relief. Usually one of the companions is a bright, motley canvas or with a fantasy pattern, and the second is a one-color version suitable for color.

But this does not mean at all that when selecting the design for the walls, it is necessary to strictly follow the factory proposal. Having a good taste and understanding of the basic rules of combination, you can create your own ensemble, unique and special.

First of all, it is necessary to assess the size and characteristics of the room, its illumination, shape and purpose.

For smaller rooms, you should choose the bright colors of both companions, this will help to expand the space and let in more light.

Perhaps a combination of dark wallpaper with a white pattern and a pure white companion. Vertical stripes on the walls will help to visually lift the ceiling, but if the stripes are very active, they should certainly be diluted with a more restrained partner.

Plain wallpaper can look boring, require a large number of accessories to create an atmosphere, however, bright prints on the walls will help bring solemnity and elegance.

Thus, the main features of the combination are deliberately depressing too bright patterns that can cause discomfort in large volumes, placing accents with the help of contrasting solutions, diversifying the interior of the room, transforming the imperfect apartment layout.

However, with an independent choice of wallpaper companions it is worth being careful: usually when choosing more than 2 types of canvases, it can be difficult to avoid chaos. When the room is fully plastered, the furniture is placed, it seems to be a mess due to the abundance of variegation. You must have a good spatial fantasy or use ready-made options for interiors, if you really want to realize the idea of ​​combining 3 or 4 different wallpapers at once.

By combining wallpaper, you can achieve some effective foundations in interior design. For example, to focus on any area in the room. In the bedroom, the wall that has the bed can be covered with bright floral wallpaper, while the other three walls are done in a single pastel color scheme.

Sometimes the design of the room wallpaper on the wall does not end there. Zoning provides continuation of pasting on the ceiling. This technique is used both in the bedroom and in the living room. In the latter case, most often they want to allocate either a part of the wall behind the sofa or behind the TV, and especially bold owners unite these two spaces, starting to glue them behind upholstered furniture, continuing on the ceiling and ending with a part of the wall behind the TV.

Bold ideas come to those who choose zoning the wall with several wallpapers. In this case, there is no functional meaning, where and how to glue this or that canvas by color and texture. Adhere to the principle of symmetry or beat the architectural features of the room. Such a combination will help to hide the layout defect.

To expand the space and “lift” the ceilings will help the right choice of the method of combination. Designers have long used tricks of combining different colors and prints in the same room for these purposes; anyone can now try one of the options, the main thing is to follow the advice and clearly understand what effect you want to achieve.

The wall as a bright element of the decor will help solve many problems:

• will allow to refuse the selection of small accessories, such as paintings, shelves, decorative mirrors, vases;
• create a strong accent that can be supported with just a couple of pillows in similar colors or prints;
• save your money on the purchase of additional design attributes;
• will give a sense of completeness in the interior.

To choose the best way to combine the wallpaper, you should determine the strengths and weaknesses in the architecture of the room. Proper combination of colors and patterns will help to visually transform the room, increase it and make it lighter. Consider these methods in more detail:

When creating an interior with a combination of wallpaper horizontally, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the functional and stylistic design requirements:

• the top should always be lighter than the bottom. Otherwise, the room will not be more spacious, but rather narrower;
• it is necessary to measure the length of the wallpaper from the floor so that the horizontal strip of the junction is parallel to the upper border of the furniture (the room may begin to “dance” because the floor is usually not always perfectly level);
• if the joint is a bit tangled, it can be decorated with either a paper border, or a molding, or a wooden lath. If the upper and lower parts of the wallpaper differ in thickness and relief, the paper border can not be used. He is very thin and not able to make the transition beautiful and smooth.

The proportions of the horizontal division are possible different, much depends on the design and the selected print of the wallpaper:

• Division wall 50/50 It will be beautiful and dynamic if you choose two monophonic canvas without a pattern, contrasting in color, separated by white molding. It is possible to consider wallpaper with a print, but note that in such a division you give equal importance to both halves of the wall, which means that the drawing must be equivalent, otherwise the design of the room will become difficult to understand, will cause controversial emotions;
• The lower part is narrow, the upper is wide. This classic version suggests the most understandable solution: light wallpaper above and darker below. Often in such combinations there are wallpapers with a striped print, damask pattern, floral pattern, plain companions;
• The lower part is very wide, the upper one is narrow. This is an exquisite combination that can be skillfully beaten if you find good partners. Beautiful and elegant looks monochrome wide bottom with a narrow strip of wallpaper with an ornament at the top;
• The division of the wall into 3 parts. The basic principle is the principle of symmetry. The lower and upper parts in width should be the same, regardless of how wide the middle part is.

Vertical stripes on the walls of the room visually make the ceiling higher. And it does not matter how many such strips in the interior. For example, in a room pasted over with monochromatic neutral color wallpaper, to add accents or to create natural elements of the decor, it is worth making a variety by introducing several strips of wallpaper with an ornament. Such bands are best seen as an auxiliary attribute of the zone selection.
