How to choose the right wallpaper for your home. Avantage wallpaper for the hall: photos and features of the choice The most modern wallpaper in the room

The most popular material for wall decoration for many decades is wallpaper. When repairs are planned, a lot of controversy is started around the choice of this coating. Moreover, today the eyes run up - design, quality, types of wallpaper both simplify and complicate the choice at the same time.

Wallpaper transforms the house, the walls of its main room, and therefore the choice must be taken reasonably and far-sightedly.

Styles change, mix, break up into directions, and it is difficult to navigate in what style to create the atmosphere of your home so that it does not become old-fashioned for at least a few years.

You need to dance from the laws of style: if it's a classic, then don't even try to look closely at ultra-fashionable collections, focusing on themes, colors, plots, motives and patterns that have been open for a long time. Renovation in the classic style is also an update, just the furniture and wallpaper of the classic design are presented more widely, and the quality of materials increases.

Designers suggest making the wall bolder, without fear of fashionable experiments. And even a Khrushchev building that does not pamper with a good footage can be transformed with the help of simple design tricks.

Three popular wallpaper options for a modern hall:

• Dark wallpaper + light furniture... This move begins to be exploited more and more often. The principle works on contrasts, which unexpectedly make the "sleepy" living room become dynamic, bright, but at the same time not so active that it would be difficult to stay in it for a long time. All walls should not be glued with dark wallpaper, you can only make one central wall, as opposed to the rest of the light ones, very dark. For example, a dark gray brick. And attach a milky modular set to this wall. If you have already chosen such a color scheme, do not mix other colors - only gray, white and black. And soft light, spot lighting is possible.
• Dark furniture + light "calm" wallpaper... Dark furniture in the room is often chosen due to its aristocratic appearance. And it can only be emphasized by contrasting wallpaper, but not necessarily white. This season, soft olive and soft lemon colors are in fashion, which will favorably emphasize the advantages of dark furniture.
• Bright furniture + muted wallpaper. A modern home is not necessarily boring colors, it is also a lot of color accents. And if your renovation makes the house change just that way, then muted wallpaper will help to shade the white headset, red table and light green chairs.

Be guided by photographs from professional resources, where the ensemble of furniture and decor for the hall is matched perfectly. Take a closer look, remember, adapt to your conditions and capabilities.

Types of wallpaper for the hall: what to give preference to

It is difficult to find a type of wallpaper that has no flaws at all, but most importantly, there is plenty to choose from.

Types of wallpapers and their characteristics:

1. Paper. Cheap, easy to glue, large selection. But: low wear resistance, do not hide wall defects.
2. Non-woven... The price is reasonable, good environmental friendliness, "breathable", spectacular in appearance, hiding some defects in the walls. But: average sound and heat insulation, not the largest choice.
3. Vinyl... Moisture-resistant, embossed, durable, spectacular in appearance. But: expensive, not easy to glue, not "breathable", a specific smell remains for several days after gluing.
4. Wallpaper... Versatile, wide selection, affordable price. But: they do not hide the defects of the walls, professional gluing is desirable.
5. Textile wallpaper... Natural, breathable, beautiful, without joints. But: very expensive, collect dust and absorb odors.

These are only the most popular types, among which liquid wallpaper, which is especially popular today, stands apart.

Liquid wallpaper in the hall: what are the advantages

Repair using liquid wallpaper is increasingly common today.

Liquid wallpaper is considered a subtype of decorative plaster. If you look at the corresponding pictures, you can see that the walls covered with such wallpaper look very original. These wallpapers contain cellulose and silk fibers. They give the very texture for which liquid wallpaper is so fond.

They are often used as wallpaper for the hall, but there are several disadvantages to such a wall covering..

Cons of liquid wallpaper:

• Hygroscopicity... It is not recommended to use them in rooms with high humidity, that is, a hall is an even more acceptable option.
• Possibility of damage... Animals in the home are more likely to damage this type of flooring than other wallpapers. We'll have to make a patch.
• They cannot be washed... It would seem that wallpaper is rarely washed in the hall. But if the family is large, there are small children, then such repairs oblige you to always be on guard.

But there are also many advantages of liquid wallpaper, for example, the fact that this repair can always be done by hand. They dry quickly, which is great if you are running out of repair times. In addition, you can make a wall covering, exclusive, original.

Samples of wallpaper for a hall in Provence style

If you take one, but a vivid example of how to choose wallpaper for the hall, it is worth considering it in terms of a particular style. For example, Provence, because today it is one of the most preferred interior styles.

Provence style wallpaper:

1. The decor in the hall should be a little more festive than in other rooms, which is reflected in the choice of wallpaper. Therefore, you can use embossed vinyl or delicate non-woven wallpaper with a light graceful pattern.
2. Plain wallpaper of delicate natural colors can be a background to the decoration of the living room. Floral motifs are appropriate here, but rather faded.
3. The monotonous walls of the living room are diluted with beautiful furniture and window decor, as well as various vases and souvenirs, good textiles.

The invariable requirement for wallpaper in a Provence style living room is high quality. It should be evident from the wallpaper - durable, made of good natural materials and, of course, with high quality, glued.

How to glue the wallpaper beautifully in the hall: three ways

The renovation can always be turned towards creativity, and the wallpaper for the hall can be combined. And three interesting ways will show you how to do it beautifully.

Ways to combine wallpaper in the hall:

• Vertical stripes... This means that some wallpaper is a background, while others complement this background with fragments of vertical stripes. In this case, the first wallpaper is plain, the second with a pattern, for example, a floral one.
• Dividing walls into horizons... The main thing is not to stick a strip, border or other type of wallpaper in the middle of the wall, it looks ridiculous. But to separate the lower third of the wall is a classic option, which immediately gives the appearance of a room of nobility.
• Wallpaper inserts... Such blotches on plain, calm wallpaper make the space more dynamic. And not necessarily a lot of inclusions, for example, two wide vertical stripes along the TV area.

And if the hall is small, what to do then?

Wallpaper for a small room in an apartment: requirements

Repair in a small room is subject to some rules, if you do not violate them, you are considered to have coped with the task.

Wallpaper in a small room should be:

1. Dim... Brightness and variegation "eat up" the footage, which you already have not enough.
2. Monochromatic... If there are drawings, motives, patterns, let them be in textiles or other small decor.
3. Embossed. If the color is simple, muted, neutral, due to the relief, you can give the living room warmth and comfort, but the relief should not be intrusive either.

And the most preferred colors for wallpaper in the hall are: pastel, milky, light pink, delicate lemon, pale olive, pale blue, pale lilac, light gray.

Wallpaper in the hall in a private house: are there any differences

Differences can only be if the hall in the house is very large. If the house, its size allows it, then you can play with a combination of wallpaper.

A distinctive feature of the house is that, unlike an apartment, it is in a more natural setting. And this naturalness should be emphasized in the interior. This means that such wallpaper for the hall can be natural - for example, linen or bamboo. A dignified ensemble of furniture, decorative elements and textiles should emphasize this desire for naturalness.

A house will be a home if you emphasize in every possible way that it is closer to nature, which means that the aesthetics of naturalness, natural beauty should be in the first place, and this also applies to wallpaper.

Repair does not tolerate inattention to detail, and wallpaper is not a trifle at all. Choose colors that always have a calming effect on you, or, conversely, invigorate, delight. At the same time, do not rush to extremes like active colors, exciting. The furnishings should not bore you; it should create a cocoon of comfort, warmth and security. Successful choice!

Criterias of choice

All-season endurance. Unlike a country cottage, a country house is a small building in which people live only in the warm season. Therefore, the experts answer the question of how to choose wallpaper for a summer residence simply: look for coatings that are least susceptible to fading, moisture, and are also easy to clean and restore.

We study materials

What kind of wallpapers are there, and how suitable are they for use in the country? We list only those varieties that make sense to use in an unheated house.

• Paper wallpaper. They bribe with their cheapness, but it is rather difficult to glue them: the surface must be well leveled, and the technology of impregnating the cut strips with glue requires two pairs of hands and a certain skill. If the house has just been built (there are no problems with caverns on the plaster), and you are not afraid of difficulties in pasting, this is an ideal summer cottage covering. Faded, dirty, peeling at the seams from dampness - we mercilessly tear off the stripes and re-glue the room before the new season. If you want to save time and energy, choose duplex wallpaper over simplex (single-layer paper). They do not fade longer, more moisture resistant than single-layer ones.

Examples of interesting collections of paper-based wallpaper.

• Vinyl wallpapers... Ideal for summer cottages: vinyl paintable. They are easy to wash and clean, which is quite important in the country, when households or a pet, unwittingly, due to the proximity of the garden, can stain the wallpaper with earth or grass. Such wallpapers can be colored many times. Vinyl-coated wallpaper is not afraid of direct sunlight.

After the winter "downtime" of the summer cottage, as a rule, nothing bad happens. Unless the roof leaks, then the canvas can partially or completely move away, and it will either have to be glued or replaced. For decorating walls in the country, you can choose inexpensive foam vinyl or elite silk-screen printing - it all depends on your financial capabilities.

Vinyl-coated non-woven wallpaper resists fading, stains and scratches and can be washed.

• Cork wallpaper. Unlike vinyl, which is often "suspected" of environmental problems, cork is a 100% pure material. In fact, this is a kind of paper-based wallpaper: a thin layer of natural cork is applied to it. An important advantage of the material: the cork coating does not attract dust, provides heat and sound insulation. Cork wallpaper can be washed and stubborn stains can be removed with fine sandpaper.
• Liquid wallpaper. In essence, an analogue or replacement for plaster: the composition is diluted in a basin, the flakes quickly take on a uniform consistency. This composition is applied to the wall, the pattern is applied with a spatula. It is important to remember one thing: liquid wallpaper is very hygroscopic, they must be covered with a layer of varnish.

Thinking about what wallpapers are on the market and which ones to prefer for your home, do not forget about the obvious things and use little tricks that will help you correct some of the imperfections of the premises.

Buy expensive. The cottage is not that big - you can "splurge" on a couple of rolls of expensive wallpaper. The more expensive the coatings are, the more durable they will be. Choose a few rolls of very good wallpaper, and you can save money, for example, by going shopping on sale days in large stores.

Combine. Summer cottages are often small. It is not necessary to completely glue all the walls with wallpaper: you can afford a combination with plaster, wood, brick.

Let you stick just a couple of rolls of expensive wallpaper onto the wall. But they will become precisely the decor of a country house, and not filling an empty wall.

Don't skimp on glue. It doesn't matter if you buy cheap or expensive wallpaper, you must choose the right adhesive. Moreover, it is better to buy wallpaper and glue at the same time.

Buy neutrals. White, "salt-pepper", small drawings, abstract patterns in pastel colors are ideal. Such wallpaper is not afraid to fade in the sun. In addition, light colors visually expand the space.

Correct the space. How to choose wallpaper for a low-rise room? - The advice is simple: buy striped ones. The vertical strip lifts the ceilings. Moreover, the larger the area of ​​the room, the wider the strip you can afford: a large strip in a room of 8 sq. m inappropriate!

Our article will help you choose the wallpaper that meets all the requirements.

Types of wallpaper

Which wallpaper is better: vinyl, paper or non-woven?

Paper wallpapers are of two types: single-layer - simplex and two-layer - duplex. Two-layer ones sometimes have a protective coating that makes them moisture resistant. Most often they are smooth, but they are also found with a pattern.

The basis non-woven wallpaper is made of cellulose-based non-woven material. The top layer can be made of paper, vinyl, non-woven or fabric. Depending on this, the properties of such wallpapers are radically different. Vinyl wallpaper can be smooth, embossed and even imitate silk-screening. The base is paper or non-woven. Textile Wallpaper is made on a paper, vinyl or non-woven base by gluing fabrics on it - flax, cotton, jute, velor, synthetic fibers.

Liquid wallpaper is a mixture of cellulose fiber, decorative additives and glue. This type of wallpaper is gaining more and more popularity. What kind of wallpaper should you choose? Each has its own pros and cons, which the following table will tell you about:

Wallpaper type	pros	Minuses
Paper	Low price; Environmental Safety; Just glue; Allow walls to breathe.	Fragility: Burn out in the sun: They are afraid of moisture.
Non-woven	Eco-friendly; Keep their shape well; Can be used for painting.	High price; Wallpaper with a paper top layer is not resistant to moisture and mechanical damage.
Vinyl	Very durable; Durable - service life is at least 10 years; Moisture resistant; Universal - a large selection of colors and textures allows you to match them to almost any style of interior;	High price; The complexity of the sticker - can only be glued end-to-end.
Textile	Excellent decorative qualities; Environmental friendliness; Variety of colors and textures; Good noise and heat insulation.	High price; whimsical in care; Absorb odors; Not resistant to mechanical damage.
Liquid wallpaper	Environmental friendliness; Convenient application - there is no need to select a pattern and join the canvases together; It is enough to prime the surface before application.	Relatively high price; Moisture sensitivity - to make it water resistant, several coats of special varnish must be applied; Poor color palette.

When choosing wallpaper, you need to consider:

• safety of materials used in their manufacture;
• the conditions in which they will be operated;
• price;
• durability.

Based on the available data, the best wallpaper for a bedroom or living room is non-woven, liquid or textile.

For a nursery, paper or wallpaper made of hard evaporated vinyl is well suited. It is best to cover the walls in the kitchen and in the corridor with vinyl wallpaper.

Glue

What is the best glue for wallpaper

The durability of the repair and the appearance of the walls depend on which glue to choose for working with wallpaper. You should not try to glue thick vinyl wallpaper with glue for ordinary paper, it simply will not support the weight of the rolls. If you use glue for embossed textured wallpaper when working with light paper, then of course they will stick. But it is possible that you will have to tear off the wallpaper from the wall during the next repair together with the plaster.

There are universal adhesives suitable for all types of wallpaper. But experts advise you to choose glue depending on the type of wallpaper.

Adhesive for vinyl wallpaper needs a thick, viscous, good adhesion. Adhesives for vinyl wallpaper of the following brands received the greatest number of positive ratings: Kleo Smart 5-6; Axton Vinyl; Metylan Vinyl; Quelyd Special Vinyl; Swedtex Vinyl.

These are starch-based adhesives. The cheapest of the above is Axton Vinyl, the most expensive is Swedtex Vinyl.

Glue for vinyl wallpaper on methylcellulose has a thick consistency, it is chosen for the densest and heaviest wallpaper. The top three looks like this:

1. Pufas Euro 3000 Special vinil;
2. Metylan Granulate Premium;
3. Moment Vinyl.

Pufas is economical in consumption, Metylan is ideal for working with heavy embossed wallpaper. Moment Vinyl is the most affordable.

The cheapest option is CMC, which is also non-toxic.

1. EXCLUSIVE NON WOVEN is especially good for textile wallpapers and silk-screen printing;
2. Metylan Non-woven is the most versatile, suitable for pasting lime and concrete surfaces;
3. Quelyd Special non-woven - does not react with paint, therefore it is the best option for paintable wallpaper.

The most expensive and high quality is EXCLUSIVE NON WOVEN, the cheapest is Quelyd Spec-non-woven.

When choosing glue, be sure to consider:

• type of surface to be pasted;
• density and specificity of wallpaper;
• financial opportunities.

Putty

Rules for choosing a putty

You need to choose a putty for walls on two grounds - composition and function.

The composition of the putty is gypsum, cement and acrylic. Each material has its own characteristics. Gypsum putty is very plastic, it allows you to level the surface well, after drying it does not shrink, but it is afraid of high humidity. Cement is resistant to moisture, but dries for a relatively long time and gives a slight shrinkage. Acrylic putty is the best option for finishing. It is gas-shrinkable and quick-drying.

There are two types of putty for wallpaper: starting and finishing. The starter is designed to level out large wall defects. It can be applied to concrete and brick substrates. If it is necessary to eliminate serious surface defects, then it is permissible to apply several layers of the starting composition. The thickness of each layer can be up to 10 mm, while each of them is reinforced with a reinforcing mesh.

The finishing compound is intended for smoothing out small defects and imparting a smooth surface. The thickness of the applied layer does not exceed 2-3 mm, therefore it is not suitable for removing deep cracks and irregularities. There are also more expensive universal mixtures that simultaneously perform both of these functions.

It is better to buy finishing materials from one manufacturer.

Wallpaper for kitchen

What wallpaper to choose for the kitchen

The kitchen is the heart of the home. Often the kitchen also serves as a dining room. It is here that the family gathers at the dinner table, and here the hostess spends a lot of time preparing food. Therefore, you need to choose wallpaper for the kitchen so that it pleases the eye and creates a positive mood.

At the same time, in the kitchen there is often high temperature and humidity; during cooking, fat splashes and settles on surfaces. Therefore, wallpaper for the kitchen should withstand frequent wet cleaning.

The best option for the kitchen is a dense moisture-resistant wallpaper with good vapor permeability. The marking applied to the rolls will help determine the type of wallpaper. High-quality perforated vinyl wallpaper made on a non-woven backing is perfect for wall decoration in the kitchen. They are not afraid of moisture, resistant to fading, and micropores do not disturb the air circulation in the room. The widest range of colors and a wide selection of textures is another argument in their favor.

Wallpaper made from natural materials and paper wallpaper, even coated with special impregnations, is not the best choice for the kitchen, they will very quickly lose their attractive appearance. In addition, they absorb odors that are abundant in the cooking area.

Wallpaper for living room

What wallpaper to choose for the living room

The living room is a place to relax, receive guests and quiet family evenings. Therefore, it is important to choose wallpaper that will create a favorable atmosphere for everyone. Wallpaper for the living room should harmoniously complement the overall style of the interior.

Silk-screen printing is a type of paper-based vinyl wallpaper made by hot stamping. The top decorative layer is made of natural or synthetic threads, creating a fancy pattern. Such wallpapers are very beautiful, silky to the touch, unpretentious in care, retain the brightness of colors for many years.

Textile wallpapers are also perfect for wall decor in the living room. They look very refined, give the interior a chic and noble look, emphasize the good taste of the owner. Such wallpapers have excellent heat and sound insulation.

Environmental friendliness and naturalness are still the current trend in interior design. Bamboo, cork or plant-based wallpapers are perfect for decorating the walls of the living room. In addition to excellent decorative qualities, such wallpapers are absolutely safe.

Non-woven wallpaper cannot boast the same variety of colors and textures as vinyl. However, they have advantages - they are made from safe materials and can be dyed up to 10 times.

Wallpaper for the bedroom

What wallpaper to choose for the bedroom

Wallpaper made from natural materials is well suited for the walls in the bedroom. They create a pleasant atmosphere of closeness to wildlife, are very decorative and absolutely safe.

Textured bamboo wallpaper allows you to hide the unevenness of the walls. They are produced in different colors and with different element widths.

Cork wallpaper is made from the bark of a cork tree. They have good heat and sound insulation, pleasant tactile and decorative qualities. This is a fairly plastic material, therefore, such wallpaper can be pasted over convex and concave surfaces.

Jute wallpaper is made from shredded plant parts applied to a canvas of unbleached paper. The resulting coating looks very similar to a textile fabric.

Liquid wallpaper is one of the best options for decorating walls in a bedroom. They are made of safe materials, breathable, have good sound insulation, and are durable. Produced with various decorative additives: marble chips, mica, textile fibers, mother-of-pearl.

Hallway wallpaper

What wallpaper to choose for the hallway

Wallpaper for the hallway should be chosen dense, resistant to mechanical damage and well tolerated by wet cleaning. Washable wallpaper or paintable wallpaper is a good option.

Vinyl wallpapers fully meet these requirements. They tolerate wet cleaning, retain their decorative qualities for a long time and are affordable. Non-woven wallpaper can also be used for pasting walls in the hallway. A definite plus of this type is its suitability for repeated painting. The most expensive, but also the most durable material for walls is fiberglass wallpaper. This look combines the advantages of vinyl and non-woven wallpaper.

The materials for the manufacture of such wallpaper are quartz sand, soda, limestone and clay. The woven fabric is impregnated with a modified starch solution.

Glass cloth wallpapers are very durable, they are not afraid of mechanical damage. They can be cleaned and washed without fear of ruining the surface. Pets' claws and beaks will also not damage the coating. Fiberglass wallpaper lends itself well to coloring, which only emphasizes their texture. The service life of such wallpaper reaches 30 years.

Wallpaper for furniture

How to choose wallpaper to match the color of your furniture

In a harmonious interior, all the details go well with each other. Choosing wallpaper suitable for the existing furniture, you need to be guided by one principle - you need to focus either on the walls or on the furniture.

For example, if the furniture is made in bright colors or active geometric patterns are used in its decoration, then it is better to paste over the walls with plain wallpaper. And vice versa - if the furniture upholstery is designed in restrained colors, then unusual accents on the walls will help to give the interior a zest.

There is one more rule - all shades should be from the same group: warm ones go well with warm ones, cold ones look most advantageous with cold ones. Moreover, the same rule works with color contrasting combinations.

There are some general rules:

• there should be no color competition between furniture and wallpaper, they should harmoniously complement each other. At the same time, monochrome is not an option, the furniture will simply be lost against the background of wallpaper of the same color;
• if the furniture is unremarkable, then the emphasis can be transferred to the walls;
• if the furniture is unusual, then you should not distract attention from it with too bright wallpaper. Better to choose a calm color or plain wallpaper.

When choosing wallpaper for furniture, take into account the interior and design of the room, its size, location and lighting.

Children's room wallpaper

What wallpaper is preferable for a children's room

Perhaps the most stringent selection is the wallpaper for the children's room. This is understandable, because they must be absolutely safe.

The cheapest option is to cover the walls with paper wallpaper. As soon as the baby grows up, he will probably want to try all the surrounding objects for strength, and the wallpaper will not be an exception. Paper wallpapers are completely safe, and their fragility in this case does not play a big role.

Fiberglass wallpaper is much more expensive than paper wallpaper, but it will also last much longer. They have many advantages - resistance to mechanical damage, environmental friendliness, hypoallergenicity and the ability to withstand repeated repainting. There is only one drawback - the high price.

A compromise option for walls in a nursery is liquid wallpaper. It is easy to restore them, it is enough to dilute the required amount of dry mixture with water, apply to the damaged section of the wall and level it. If the child has already grown up, then you can involve him in this activity, for sure it will seem very exciting to him.

Such wallpapers are safe, have a pleasant texture, and have good sound and heat insulation properties. They allow the walls to "breathe" and the air in the nursery will not be stagnant.

Wallpaper combination

How to combine wallpaper correctly

With all the richness of choice, it happens that it is not possible to implement the conceived design solution with the help of ready-made wallpaper. Or if you need to zone the space in one room. In this case, you can try to combine several types of wallpaper in the interior of one room.

To begin with, it is worth evaluating the shape, height, location of windows and doors in the room. In spacious rooms with high ceilings, the main problem is creating a cozy atmosphere. The combination of wallpaper with two patterns will help solve this problem without unnecessarily cluttering the space with furniture and decorative elements.

A good idea for a small room is plain wallpaper for three and bright finishes for the fourth. It is better not to use wallpaper with a large pattern in the decoration of small rooms, this will further emphasize its diminutiveness. The optimal solution is wallpaper in light colors with small elements or monochromatic.

If you need to visually correct the shape of a long narrow room, then you can stick light wallpaper on the end walls, and dark wallpaper on the long side walls.

It is better to paste over three walls in a square room with the same wallpaper, and on the fourth to create a bright accent in the form of an ornament, a flower or a bright pattern. For a successful combination of wallpaper, you need something to unite them: color, pattern or texture. So it will be possible to achieve a harmonious combination of different wallpapers with each other.

You should not combine wallpapers of different quality with each other, this will only emphasize the disadvantages of cheap wallpapers. For a combination, you need to use wallpaper of the same thickness, otherwise the joints will look sloppy.

Modern wallpapers are distinguished by their attractive appearance and functionality. With the help of a properly selected material, you can hide the unevenness of the walls, and visually change the dimensions of the room. To choose the right trendy wallpaper in 2018-2019, you need to study the latest design trends.

Characteristics of materials

Various materials are used for the production of wallpaper. A huge assortment allows you to choose the best option for the embodiment of a design idea.

The demand for the previously popular paper canvases has dropped significantly. Despite the low cost, buyers stopped choosing this type of material due to its fragility and poor quality.

Consumers are increasingly giving preference to other types of wallpaper:

Prints and drawings

The image on the wallpaper should correspond to the wishes of the homeowners and become an accent in the stylistic idea. Designers offer several interesting ideas, the use of which will make the room original.

Plant motives

Natural motives can be expressed in different ways: in the form of an image of a blooming garden, a tropical or deciduous forest, a park alley. The image of nature has many options:

• Wild jungle;
• Blooming bouquets in vases or pots;
• Exotic plants, foliage or flowers.

A similar decor will fill the room with bright juicy colors. To create a harmonious design with these wallpapers, you should opt for a neutral flooring color.

Patterns of a tree on gray wallpaper in the bedroom

Floral patterns on wallpaper

Geometric lines

This year, a separate niche stands out for canvases with geometric images. The main role is assigned to hexagons and honeycombs. The use of such wallpaper allows you to visually balance the space, make it harmonious and holistic. The pattern on the wallpaper is duplicated in furniture upholstery or textiles. Honeycombs are able to revive even the most boring interior, to divide it into functional zones.

For fans of experiments and bold solutions, manufacturers have released canvases with multi-colored geometric shapes: rhombuses, triangles and zigzags. The wall, pasted over with such material, will become the accent of the room and will attract attention.

Solid geometric shapes on a dark background will fit perfectly into a glamorous retro style and will be a great backdrop for classic furniture pieces.

Flower ornament

Images of flowers have been at the height of fashion for several years already. The English style in the interior with rose bushes on the walls is very popular.


To enable consumers to choose the right design, manufacturers produce canvases with colors of various sizes - from small ornaments to bright colors of maximum size.


Exotic flowers, blurry garden flowers, like a watercolor painting, picturesque bouquets - any of these options will look appropriate in the interior of your home.

Animal prints

The image of animals fits perfectly into the interior of any living room. To do this, you need to responsibly approach the choice of colors and patterns. Canvases in retro style deserve special attention. They fill the room with elegance and sophistication. On such wallpaper, animals are scattered across the entire surface, without ornate details.

Butterfly, fish, and colorful bird prints are designed to draw attention to a specific wall or area in a room. The same goes for wild animals. Large-sized images of animals made with graphic lines look original as an accent.

Design methods

If you follow the advice of designers, then recently they recommend not to be afraid to experiment, but to make the interior brighter and bolder. So, now it is fashionable to avoid monotony and create contrasting interiors.

• A combination of dark wallpaper and light furniture. It is used quite often in modern interiors. It is based on the rules for combining opposites, which allows you to create, for example, a rich, active atmosphere in the living room, but not to such an extent that it is difficult to be in it. Here it is not necessary to paste over all the walls with dark wallpaper - it is enough to notice one and transform it with the help of a material of a dark shade. A good option is to decorate the vertical section with imitation of rich gray bricks and place furniture in creamy shades against this wall.

In this case, no extraneous colors are required, except for gray, white and black. A dim light is perfect for such a room, perhaps a point one.

• A combination of light wallpaper and dark furniture. Usually, products of dark colors are chosen because of their aristocratic appearance, which will be even more emphasized when combined with a diametrically opposite tone with wallpaper, and white colors are not fundamental for them. This year, green and bright yellow are considered the current colors, which can highlight all the advantages of furniture in dark colors.

• A combination of discreet wallpaper and bright furniture. Nowadays, not only pastel shades are used to decorate rooms, but also saturated colors. When you want to transform your home just like that, then you should glue wallpaper in a neutral color on the walls, and choose a white rack, a red tabletop and light green chairs from furniture. It will turn out to be very lively and interesting.

Varieties

The stores offer wallpapers for every taste and wallet. To choose the most suitable material for a particular room, it is necessary to study the features, advantages and disadvantages of each.

• Paper... They are quite budgetary, easy to work with, and have a wide variety. The disadvantage is that they have low wear resistance, which does not allow hiding the wall defect.

• Non-woven. They are characterized by such advantages as reasonable cost, environmental friendliness, external beauty. In addition, they smooth out small imperfections in the walls. The disadvantages of such a material are low heat and sound insulation, not too extensive selection.

• Vinyl. Moisture resistant, embossed, reliable, beautiful in appearance. But they are very difficult to glue. They have a high cost, after two days after pasting, an unpleasant smell remains.

• Wallpaper... They are characterized by a variety of choices, acceptable cost. Their disadvantage is that they do not smooth out the unevenness of the walls.

• Textile. Natural, breathable, no seams. There are also disadvantages: they absorb odors and accumulate dirt.

The above types are among the most common; liquid wallpapers, which are at the peak of popularity, can be separately distinguished.

Such wallpaper is a kind of decorative plaster. The walls look quite unusual with them. They contain polymers and silk inclusions. Due to them, the composition is obtained, for which people fell in love with products of this type.

They are used quite often for gluing the hall. Positive characteristics of liquid wallpaper are:

• repairs with their use are easy to do with your own hands (without the involvement of outside specialists);
• they dry out quickly (this is very good when repairs need to be carried out in a short time).

But despite the advantages, such products have disadvantages:

• poorly absorb moisture (they are suitable for a hall, but not for rooms with a high level of humidity);
• they are very easy to damage;
• they must not be washed.

What to choose for a small living room?

Using simple optical techniques, you can visually enlarge a small hall. In the setting, the main place should be occupied by light colors, visually expanding the room. The technique of combining two types of wallpaper can also visually make the room look larger.

There are several types of such combinations.

• Vertical stripes. Here, some wallpaper acts as a background, and the second serves as an additional element (in this case, it is vertical stripes).
• Wall zoning... There is no need to place a strip, border or other wallpaper in the middle of the wall, because it will look out of place. Better to select a third of the wall below. This technique will add sophistication to the entire room.
• Wallpaper inserts. They add dynamism to the space. You don't need a lot of inserts here - two wide strips along the area where the TV is located will be enough.

The size of the room does not limit the style of wallpaper ornament. In a small room, any kind of pattern is acceptable, except that a large pattern is inappropriate.

Interior options

In order not to get bored of the monotonous atmosphere in the hall, it is worth using various combinations when decorating the walls. A well-chosen combination of wallpaper of the same tone and material with an ornament will make it possible to beautifully zone a room, visually increase the ceilings, expand or reduce some areas, and make darker areas lighter.

When combining, you should be able to combine colors... A smooth light-colored wall with an image changing in color will look good. Glossy ornaments create glare in the light and accentuate the look, straight lines make the room larger, and the ceilings are higher, enlarged motifs fill the voids of large-scale halls.

It is good to combine wallpaper in the hall with coloring, decorative elements, tiles, panels.
