With its help, you can put artistic expression into practice. original ideas, focus on visual correction of minor problems, an expressive art object, correction of problems that arose in the process of decorative finishing.
The main purpose of the combination
The use of several wallpaper options within one room at once significantly increases the duration of the repair and complicates it.
At the same time, one cannot ignore the positive aspects of such a combination.
Designers highlight many factors that confirm the originality of such an idea, its significance and relevance:
- zoning of the premises;
- emphasizing the features of the room;
- hiding all the shortcomings of the room;
- visual expansion of the room;
- accenting the wall;
- creating a focal point;
- adaptation of the bedroom to the individual needs of its owner.
Correction options
- The presence of a low ceiling in the room. This problem is typical for a room that has a fairly significant area. To eliminate this problem, the ceiling is decorated in light colors, the walls are made dark, obtaining the visual illusion of high ceilings indoors.
- Small area. Horizontal stripes of wallpaper, as well as light walls, can visually expand the space inside the room. By covering one wall with wallpaper that has a large pattern, you can create the effect of a spacious room. Among the decoration options we can note the use of photo wallpaper.
- Having a room that is too long. The room will be as cozy as possible, you can fully relax in it by covering the narrow walls with dark or rich wallpaper, and the wide walls with light wallpaper.
Rules for combining wallpaper
If desired, you can make a study place; by combining wallpaper you can create effective zoning of the room. By mixing texture and pattern, you can highlight different functional purpose destination areas. After delineating separate zones inside the room, it is important to prevent separation into several separate parts; you need to maintain harmony in the room, make a smooth transition from one zone to another.
1. Do you want to hide the shortcomings and show the advantages of your room?
There is a room with its own specific features, which cause problems for owners, for example, the irrational location of heating risers, the presence of numerous niches and protrusions, cannot be hidden with the help of them, from the outside they will seem like defects. In the case of combining wallpaper of different patterns and colors, such a problem can be easily solved by diverting attention from problem areas.
2. Do you dream of changing your proportions and sizes?
For those who have square and large rooms, there is no problem in the layout of the room, since this type of room is similar to the “golden ratio”. Unfortunately, in reality such bedrooms and hallways do not exist, they are retracted or small, you have to combine wallpaper of different wallpapers and patterns, thereby visually adjusting the room, turning it into a convenient and comfortable “nest”.
Don't you like the monotonous interior?
Do you want to make your room bright, individual, unique? In this case, he suggests placing accents on one wall of the room, using wallpaper with a catchy pattern to decorate it. For example, the central part of your wall will be highlighted with wallpaper with large geometric or floral prints; on the sides you can use a different type of wallpaper, focusing all attention on the center of the room, for example. With the right selection of wall materials, you will get an amazing effect.
The design of a room such as a bedroom makes it possible to show all the preferences of its owner. This room is intimate, it is not customary to receive guests there.
The main task of the bedroom is comfortable and complete rest after a hard day at work. For selection color scheme and style, you can use the advice of professional designers to get a truly cozy and comfortable room.
As soon as there is a need to combine several types of wallpaper in a bedroom, this is a signal that its owner is an extraordinary and creative person.
Such people do not like routine, do not accept patterns, and want to always be in the know. fashion trends, I have a wonderful artistic imagination. If you wish, you can always highlight a specific object inside the room, for example, a dressing table, a bed, by choosing special wallpaper for this.
Combination of wallpaper with different patterns
People are often afraid to combine Various types wallpaper, being unsure of the positive result of their actions. How to choose the right designs, colors, textures, and understand the variety of wallpapers that can be seen on the modern construction market? Don't want to learn from your mistakes? In this case, read some simple rules proposed by professional designers so that after combining several wallpaper options, you can achieve the desired positive result.
Odd numbers are used quite often in modern design. The easiest way to combine several wallpaper options in a bedroom is to select three wallpaper models:
- First The wallpaper option should be a source of your joy and complete delight. Try to buy wallpaper that makes you feel real delight and pleasure that you won’t get tired of over time. It is advisable to opt for wallpaper with a large pattern, or choose colorful photo wallpaper.
- Second The type of wallpaper should have a slight souring, similar in 1-2 colors to the first type of wallpaper.
- Third a piece of wallpaper will be the basic option; neutral colors (gray, white, beige) are suitable for it. You can use small, neutral, plain wallpaper, for example, with a relief texture.
Features of choosing wallpaper
If you go to the store for new wallpaper, try to pay attention to some features:
- The degree of color intensity. Wallpaper may have repeating color shades, it is important that they are of the same intensity. If you wish, you can choose plain wallpaper, or with a bright and contrasting pattern. Don't you like the variegation of bright and contrasting wallpaper? In this case, combine wallpaper, diluting it with textured and plain wallpaper, so that you can “stop your eye” on light, unobtrusive fragments of wallpaper.
- Graphic arts. When choosing or combining white with other colors, you will correctly combine the space, make it cozy, comfortable for living.
- White color counts perfect color, thanks to which different textures and patterns are combined with each other. For bedrooms, you can use a combination of three different types wallpaper, or use two wallpaper options and modern home textiles.
IN Lately many manufacturers home textiles combine their work with wallpaper manufacturers, creating single original combinations for the hallway and bedroom. Among the negative characteristics of such collections, we note their high cost.
There are many ways to create a non-standard interior or zoning a room. Combining wallpaper is one of them, the least expensive in terms of resources and time. This technique is used by those who want to save money and level out existing design disadvantages: unprofitable ledges or niches, too low ceilings, narrow space. The main thing when renovating is to take into account all the features of the room.
The purpose of combining should be not just to relieve boredom. It is designed to focus attention on a certain point or zone. Aimless application of patches to the walls will make the interior look tacky and will only emphasize the owner’s lack of taste.
When accentuating one of the walls with wallpaper, you need to choose the “right” one. This is usually the wall that catches the eye when entering a room. It can also be located in the background of one of the functional areas or behind a group of furniture: dining, desk, upholstered furniture, which will only benefit from a suitable background.
The principle of choosing a wall was absolutely unmistakable in Soviet times. The main attraction - the Uzbek carpet - always hung where it was needed and was visible from any vantage point.
The boundaries of the accent wall are also determined in advance. And this must be the entire wall, and not some part of it behind the sofa (what will happen if the sofa suddenly has to be moved?). These are not several walls, sometimes decorated with companions, but giving the impression that the room was papered with remnants from a previous renovation.
The following must be taken into account simple rules:
- Accent wallpaper is glued to the view wall. The desired minimum distance to it is 3-4 m. The “Khrushchev” kitchen, for example, is not very suitable for such a design.
- Combining two types of wallpaper with an active pattern is contraindicated, even if they are companions.
- Photo wallpapers or any other with a dynamic print go best with plain ones.
- To avoid having to rack your brains over the design of joints, accent wallpaper takes up space from one corner to another or to a niche or ledge.
- The basis for creating any combination should be a certain idea; it is necessary to rivet the eyes of those present on something specific.
Combination errors
All the mistakes of designers can be reduced to the following basic ones:
- Lack of purpose when combining, acting on a whim.
- Choosing the “wrong” wall.
- Placing wallpaper in pieces, with borders not in the corners. The exception is inserts with finishing of joints with moldings or when the wall is divided into two parts horizontally.
- The layout of the duet without taking into account the characteristics of the room.
In order not to spoil the picture of the fresh renovation, you cannot
- Place large furniture near a wall with large patterns; the optimal background in this case is plain;
- decorate a small room with dark colors; light shades are more harmonious, preferably no more than three;
- decorate a large wall in a narrow room with patterns, they will narrow the space even more;
- paste wallpaper with horizontal stripes when low ceilings, the ceiling will begin to press even more;
- vertical stripes will do narrow room with high ceilings even more awkward.
How to combine wallpaper by color?
Scientists have proven that colors affect not only mood, but also health. For a comfortable life, design colors are chosen for a reason. They are combined according to certain rules. Not all shades look harmonious next to each other. Sometimes even unexpected combinations fascinate, in other cases you want to look away quickly. Combinations for the interior are selected according to the same principle by which a bouquet or toiletries are collected.
Taking into account furniture and decor, there are usually three to four to seven colors in the room. There are never many of them, they only serve for variety and add emphasis. The main two are the colors of wallpaper, flooring, and furniture elements. When choosing a color, first of all pay attention to the size of the room.
The color scheme of the walls determines the overall decor of the entire room. Some color elements from a wallpaper pair are necessarily duplicated in the interior: they are repeated in furniture upholstery, echoing doors or floor and ceiling coverings.
Shades of the same color
The combination of wallpaper of the same color in one room is considered classic. The walls can be patterned, regular, chaotic, barely expressed. For a small room, two types of wallpaper with the same pattern, slightly different in shade - the combination is the most acceptable.
Monochromatic combinations can differ only in saturation. The priority zone is highlighted with richer shades.
Any room will look organic if it combines decorations of the same color, but with different textures. Textured elements look much more impressive if they are made in the same color. Shiny surfaces look unusual when combined with matte ones. Besides, small rooms, where there are shiny walls, will visually seem more spacious.
Contrasting colors
Correctly combining several bright paintings that you like in the interior is a delicate matter. Those without experience in this matter are on a slippery slope. It is also worth considering the price of assorted coatings. The look of expensive silk-screen printing can quickly be ruined by placing budget paper nearby.
The contrast method is most often used to decorate living rooms or bedrooms. One of the colors should be active, and the second neutral.
Modern design ideas based on style, rejection of everyday life. Special techniques consist of combining warm and cold colors and using eye-catching colors. Possible options there are:
- simple, when harmonious, unidirectional color schemes are combined;
- moderate, when the wallpaper tones do not combine with each other, but have something in common with the space;
- complex if the interior is decorated with more than three colors of different saturations.
Adjacent shades of the color wheel
To maintain the integrity of the interior, and not to miss the choice of finishing colors, use a special cheat sheet called the color wheel. With its help, you can select similar colors by simply taking 2-3 or 5 located nearby.
Advanced designers usually use not 2, but 3-4 shades, which are diluted with universal black, white or gray. Since they do not exist in nature, they are not shown in the diagram. In the design of the premises they act not only as additional, but also as main ones.
Color combination (table)
Make your own choices suitable colors Interesting. But those without experience tend to make mistakes. There are tables that greatly simplify the process. The main thing is to know how to use them.
This or a similar scheme is used, remembering that the first color must be used as the main one. The two following it can act as additional ones, those that follow are accent ones.
There are tables that present contrasting combinations or those compiled on a complementary principle. From the proposed options, you just need to choose the combination that you like most.
How to design a transition when combining
Whether or not to decorate the joints when gluing depends on the thickness of the finish and the chosen style. There are several methods for decorating the transition: pasting borders with borders, moldings, applicable wooden slats, thin planks, stucco molding, ceiling plinth is played out.
No transition
The classic joint is usually not decorated with anything. To ensure that the edges of assorted wallpapers match perfectly, they are not initially coated with glue, but are placed overlapping each other. Then a sharp knife is drawn along the joint (the line can be smooth or wavy). The waste is discarded, and the edges of the canvases are coated with glue and attached to the wall.
Wallpaper border
Paper framing is not a problem. It can be matched to the wallpaper at the point of purchase from a catalog or cut out from the wallpaper strip itself. The advantage of this finish is its low cost, ease of gluing and removal. Disadvantage: susceptibility to ultraviolet radiation and mechanical damage.
You can choose vinyl and acrylic edging; they are approximately similar in quality. Textile is denser and more durable due to its two-layer structure consisting of paper and fabric.
You should not rely on the quality of the self-adhesive edging; it tends to fall off spontaneously over time. It is advisable to glue it, additionally coating it with glue initially.
Moldings
Looks quite original decorative elements framed with moldings. Such inserts for the most part used in classic interiors. Previously, such ideas were implemented only by representatives of the upper class, since the fabrics used were very expensive. Now such panels are possible in the style of Provence and country. Modern Art Nouveau follows the same path, slightly modifying the frame. Its role is played by a border cut from linen from the same collection.
Silk-screen printing, embossed coatings, and other similar options are used as inserts. Moldings will also help, if it is necessary to combine wallpaper of different thicknesses, to design a transition to another type of finish or architectural element.
Combination methods
Combination is always creative, creativity. Some of his techniques can be very bold, especially if the stylistic decision involves the use of bright contrasts and unconventional combinations. Therefore, you need to select the decor carefully. When purchasing materials, you need to consider the following key factors:
- degree of illumination;
- footage of the room;
- planned style;
- shades and textures should not “quarrel” with each other.
Choosing texture is usually easier than choosing the right color scheme. If all types of finishing in the apartment can be combined into one harmonious whole, a satisfactory result is obtained:
- the room seems to increase in size;
- irregular shapes, uneven walls are hidden;
- the interior is filled with light;
- separate zones appear;
- the winning features of the layout and style are emphasized.
Combining horizontally
The method is most successful if you wallpaper the room different types, for example, the upper part is made of paper, and the lower part is made of embossed vinyl or non-woven fabric. The walls will get additional protection, it will be easier and cheaper to carry out partial repairs.
Horizontal stripes can be distributed over the entire height, alternating in color and pattern. If you decide to glue only two types of wallpaper, then the parts should be in a 2:1 ratio.
The height of the separation can be changed, focusing on the levels of furniture, window sill, taking into account the layout and size of the room.
Joints oriented horizontally are much more difficult to mask, so the use of moldings, all kinds of borders, and baguettes is appropriate here. Traditionally, the border is made at a height of no more than a meter, but only if the height of the walls is small. For unusually high ceilings, the joint is placed at a height of 1.5-2 m. This distance is oriented relative to the floor, not the ceiling, otherwise the slightest unevenness will be noticeable.
Combining vertically
The essence of the method is to vertically connect wallpaper of different tones and textures. The method allows you to visually raise the ceiling level. The room will seem higher, the thinner the fragments of the picture. The stripes are not necessarily of the same size. Strips of different widths alternate in a certain sequence.
If the combined fragments are not the same in texture, moldings or borders will be required to decorate the borders.
Combinations of coatings of the same color, but of different intensities, alternation of dynamic shades with calm ones, wallpaper with patterns and plain-colored ones are popular. Flowers with stripes look good in a retro style.
Plain and plain
A technique ideal for highlighting several functional areas of space in close color scheme. Companions from the same manufacturer will be a win-win option. Not too variegated shades, relief patterns, and silk-screen printing look noble.
For a harmonious design, when using plain wallpaper, choose canvases with neutral and more active colors, and materials of different textures. The trick of having a brighter wall will draw attention away from the unevenness on a wall with a neutral color. In the bedroom, for example, deeper, darker shades are used in the sleeping area. The play of shadows helps to calm down and relax.
Accent wall
To ensure that the accent on the wall not only attracts the eye, but also improves the design, you must follow some rules:
- ideally there is only one such wall, rarely two, never three, this introduces dissonance;
- Only part of the wall or such architectural elements as arches, niches can become accent;
- accent colors are not necessarily bright, soft combinations are acceptable;
- You can “move” the accent wall using warm and cool shades.
It is necessary to remember: the technique dictates the mood of the entire interior, and therefore can either completely ruin it or balance it.
IN modern interior accent wall usually sets the focus. It is decorated with bright monochromatic canvases or wallpaper with large ornaments and digital printing. The color scheme of the remaining surfaces is as neutral as possible. This approach is applicable to any room. And due to the fact that expensive materials are used only on one of the walls, significant savings are achieved.
Pattern or ornament and plain
Collections often present a popular combination option - plain wallpaper with the same wallpaper, where a pattern or ornament is applied to the base.
If you select companions yourself, you must be extremely careful and try to match future companions in good lighting. It is also important not to deviate from the rule:
- large drawings and bright colors are good only in a spacious, bright room;
- in a pair where the first part is an ornament, the second should be textural.
Pattern and Pattern
Different patterns look quite harmonious in one room. But they must have something unifying: motifs, some elements, color.
The technique is often used in horizontal combinations, when the lower part of the wall, for example, is decorated with wallpaper with an ornament, and the upper, lighter part is decorated small flowers. In the same way, you can combine large monograms or a floral pattern with discreet geometric ripples that give the impression of a monochromatic background.
Two types of wallpaper are used for zoning, but only if they are not competitors. Colored companions divide, for example, a children's room, or allocate an area near the desktop. The connection point should not be provocative; it should not be decorated with moldings; it is even better if it is angular.
Patchwork technique
The combination is carried out using flaps, for which canvases are selected that are in harmony with each other. They are cut into identical or different pieces, glued end-to-end or overlapping, and placed like on a chessboard. The patches can be two-color or have more shades, with different geometric shapes: square, rectangular. They are cut out in the shape of a circle to make appliqués on finished walls.
A similar panel looks stylish at the head of the bed, in the nursery. If the color scheme seems too variegated, it is balanced with several white fragments.
Allocation of niches
When trying to disguise niches that seem to be a lack of a room, they often achieve the opposite effect. It's better to go the other way and highlight them. To do this, wallpaper is glued there in a different color or a couple of tones darker than the main ones. If you use textured wallpaper and equip the niche with lighting, it will create an interesting interior relief and enliven the room with the play of shadows.
Using cool tones will allow you to visually distance the wall and shift the emphasis to the item located in the niche.
Room zoning
Sometimes one room is divided into zones, each of which performs its own function. Along with other methods, a method is used when part of the space is separated from the rest using wallpaper with patterns or other color shades.
The solutions are quite unusual. Separation is achieved not only by color, but also by texture. One option is to separate, for example, the kitchen from the dining room by covering it with structural wallpaper for painting. One area is decorated with a floral pattern, and the next one is decorated with a checkered print of the same color scheme. The main thing will be not to make a mistake with the arrangement of furniture.
Zoning with wallpaper will help you define the boundaries of the zone without effort and extra expenses: you won’t need either plasterboard partitions or heavy curtains.
Brick or stone masonry in the loft style is becoming less and less popular. Such a change in the interior requires a considerable investment of time and resources, and is not always acceptable due to the excessive load on the foundation. In a particularly small apartment, it is appropriate to replace this material with its imitation.
A room covered with light wallpaper is complemented by a wall as if made of white brick. Red brick will look great when surrounded by matte gray or white walls. An apron in the kitchen work area and a fake fireplace in the living room will not be discordant if you correctly match the color scheme of your companions. The texture of the brick is conveyed so realistically that it can only be distinguished from the real thing by touching it.
Photo wallpaper, like any cladding with an active pattern, can only be combined with plain walls. It doesn’t matter what story the eye initially falls on. The main thing is to adhere to the basic rules:
- choose the right drawing;
- guess the size;
- maintain consistency in quality and palette between photo wallpaper and basic wallpaper.
There is no need to combine types of megalopolises by color. They will go with almost everything, as long as they are not variegated or even monochromatic. It is better to place lush greenery in rooms full of light. A white, beige or grayish main background harmonizes well with it.
Rooms with windows facing north are decorated with bright, large images. Sunflowers or oranges will warm you up and add sunshine. The remaining walls are covered with light, warm, dim wallpaper.
Photo wallpaper is also used for zoning, to emphasize the horizontal, to highlight architectural protrusions and niches. They are not so often combined with contrasting, rich companions: beige is combined with purple, green, blue and orange. Perspective images will significantly affect the size of the room.
To emphasize the interesting texture of the coating, the room is decorated in a single color. The use of flashy textures must be balanced with calm shades and the absence of unnecessary details and patterns. It is customary to combine a clear texture with the same companions or at least similar in thickness. It is better not to place seams between them flat wall, and take him to a corner.
Textured wallpaper is the best alternative to liquid wallpaper. The texture can appear in the form of stripes and curls, abstract images, and vegetation. The coverings are easy to glue, can be painted, are joined on walls, and used to decorate ceilings.
At first glance, liquid wallpaper looks like decorative plaster, is suitable for any room, and goes well with non-woven wallpaper.
The most acceptable combinations are those achieved by playing with color. Liquid wallpaper can be easily combined with each other, other materials, and complemented with drawings and original patterns. They are used to create panels, and if “kneaded” thicker, then into decorative volumetric elements, for example, imitation stucco.
Focus point
A certain visual anchor that attracts the attention of those entering the room, a beautiful detail that is the center of the interior, acts as a focal point. It can be natural, such as a niche, fireplace or big window, behind which there is a beautiful view.
If there are no such architectural details or a delightful panorama, then a painting, sculpture, or furniture group, which the designer “designates” as the main ones, can act as the focal point. It will help to highlight them correct lighting, background wallpaper. The latter are combined in such a way that part of the wall differs in shade from the main one and is monochromatic or stands out with an unusual pattern. The effect can be complemented by framing and decorative decorations.
Decorative decorations
To change the interior without undertaking a grandiose renovation, it is enough to use ready-made or hand-made decorative stickers. They stick easily, and now there are some that can be removed without consequences.
The themes and style of this decor are very diverse, suitable for any stylistic direction: loft, avant-garde. These can be small stickers or large silhouette images of people and animals. With their help, they enliven the decor of a children's room, place accents in the living room, combine disparate pieces of furniture and appliances in the kitchen, and add positivity to the bedroom.
Combination of wallpaper combinations in rooms
Not everyone likes experiments and decides to move away from the traditional wallpapering of each room in the same color. In order for a fresh renovation to look harmonious, you must first study a large number of recommendations from knowledgeable designers, study examples with photos, develop an idea that would take into account the functional features of each room.
Living room
The room where visitors are received is often called the hall. Here they receive guests, hold evening gatherings with tea parties, meet colleagues and important guests. Therefore, it should not only be comfortable for the family, but also maintain the image of the owners as successful people, not lacking in taste. There is no need to skimp on the quality of finishing of this room. The classics are applicable here, a combination of silk-screen printing, glass wallpaper, and the use of non-woven and vinyl wallpaper.
The hall most often serves as a living room and dining room, and sometimes as a bedroom. Some of the corners may be work area or library. Wallpaper partners will help divide the space into zones. The main violin is played by the size of the room. If the living room is small, it is better to resort to light shades. In vast spaces, you don’t have to limit your imagination; you can experiment with textures and colors.
The recreation area is usually made lighter, decorated with plain canvases or with small patterns. Place where it is located cushioned furniture, fireplace group, plasma will benefit when decorated with more saturated colors and beautiful patterns.
Bedroom
Since the zone is intimate, they proceed only from their own preferences, having previously agreed on the basic principles with their partner.
The main role of the room is to help you relax and ensure proper rest. Bright contrasts and catchy patterns are not appropriate here. It is better to decorate the walls with calm colors: beige and white; for those who like a darker bedroom, use various shades of brown and blue.
It is better to choose a smooth texture. In addition to traditional ones, fashionable fabric wallpapers look good in the bedroom. It is desirable that they overlap with textiles: curtains, bedspreads. If you combine them with other types, then the joints will have to be covered with moldings or slats due to the discrepancy in the thickness of the materials.
Combining different types of wallpaper, the headboard is covered with textured, darker materials, photo wallpaper, and an emphasis is placed on it. In order to isolate the sleeping area, the accent strip is continued along the ceiling.
Kitchen
In the kitchen, solving the problem of choosing the right color combination is not so easy. There is a lot of furniture here, one of the walls is often occupied by tiles, leaving very little space for wallpaper. In addition, they need to be combined not only with all the furniture, but also with the work area, refrigerator, and other household appliances.
In order not to oversaturate the kitchen with colors, the wallpaper duo should be made neutral, without large patterns. A large kitchen-dining room is decorated more brightly, but pastel shades will still look more harmonious here, bright hues, if there are drawings, then they are small.
Bathroom
The microclimate of the room is not conducive to wallpapering it. Other coatings that resist moisture well are more appropriate here. But if the bathroom is spacious and well ventilated, then it can be partially decorated with wallpaper, especially since the canvases are easy to change if it suddenly turns out that they are slightly peeling off.
It is better to use moisture-resistant, washable materials. Liquid wallpaper, which after hardening is coated with acrylic varnish, is also suitable. Use options with vinyl wallpaper. They are a little expensive, but their level of fixation can be improved special glue. Self-adhesive and glass wallpaper are not afraid of moisture good decision. All of them combine well with each other, with 3D and photo wallpaper. It is better not to place the latter directly next to the shower. This area is decorated with tiles, and wallpaper is pasted washing machine, sinks, in the toilet area where splashes do not reach. The main thing is that the combination of color and texture does not cause any complaints.
Children's
In this room you can let the colors run wild. But even here it is better to stick general rule and do not combine more than 2-3 colors. Of these, only 2 can be saturated.
For the little ones, choose neutral shades. It is not necessary for girls to adhere to pink, and boys to blue. You can choose any colors. Among the most popular for children are green and yellow, peach and apricot, natural colors of wood, green tea, olive, lilac.
The nursery, like the bedroom, needs a comfortable environment. Dark shades are inappropriate here; bright and cheerful shades are welcome, but not distracting from activities. A room for two children can be divided with different types of wallpaper into individual areas, the play area can be highlighted with accent canvases, the design can be diversified with decorative stickers in the form of animal silhouettes, geometric shapes, exotic plants, rockets and ships.
The patchwork technique is used to ensure that the colors of the patches match the tone of the floor. A wall with photo wallpapers and stylized drawings will look good.
Hallway and corridor
This room is rarely spacious. In most cases it is narrow and long. You shouldn’t make it very dark, unless you do the lower part of the walls in darker colors if the border between the partners runs across.
The joint between the ceiling and the wall is often decorated with a special side, where the lighting is masked. This technique helps to “lift” suspended ceiling, enliven the interior with glare from it. cramped and narrow corridor It will seem much more spacious with proper layout of wallpaper and thoughtful lighting.
In a room not cluttered with furniture, wallpaper inserts, moldings and borders, mirrors in harmony with the frame, and small geometric and floral patterns look beautiful.
It is advisable to cover the area closest to the front door with washable wallpaper or wear-resistant glass wallpaper. Posters, photographs, and all kinds of stickers will help decorate the corridor and make it more alive.
An antique style, replete with columns, arches, marble elements, and stucco molding, can be realized without spending money on gold frescoes. Wallpaper that imitates wall painting is combined with plain pastel colors. Photo wallpapers with natural and historical scenes are placed on the walls. The style will be supported by moldings and stucco molding made of polyurethane.
The splendor of Rococo and Baroque will be emphasized by silk-screen printing, wallpaper on tissue based. Paper photo wallpaper will help imitate woven trellises. Instead of stucco molding, pompous moldings will be used.
Classic color schemes from milky to burgundy, geometric prints, panels, and combining wallpaper horizontally are quite feasible. Wooden slats are placed at the joints; the bottom of the wall is sometimes decorated with carved wood or plastic.
For Victorian style, the best wallpaper print is stripes, checks, and floral motifs.
The Japanese ambiance will be supported by natural, laconic colors and themed photo wallpapers.
The interpenetration of Europe and China is expressed in grace, a mixture of familiar furniture with paper panels. East style– this is wallpaper with unusual birds and flowers.
Turkish style will fill the bedroom with turquoise and azure, and will dictate that the headboard be designed not in a square, but in the shape of a dome or arch.
Rustic country and Provence will require simple textures on the walls, matte canvases with a small scattering of flowers. It is advisable to combine the colors of the wallpaper with the curtains.
Characteristic features of an Alpine chalet simple materials, discreet cork or bamboo base in combination with imitation brickwork.
Modern trends take something from classic interior, but there are also rough textures like metal or masonry. Photo wallpapers depicting mechanisms and gears are used.
It’s easy to get confused by the offers on the market. Whitewash, water-based painting used now as proven over the years a budget option. Those who want a more modern design, decorate the interior with wood and stone, decorative plaster, PVC panels and eco-leather are used. There is a special wall linoleum on sale, which can scare away just by its name. With the famous floor covering they have little in common. All materials are good in their own way, have a special texture and certain decorative properties. But not everyone can compare with wallpaper in price and ease of installation. In addition, a room completely covered with stone or tiles is unlikely to impress with its coziness. The best option is to combine.
Wallpapers and panels
Decorative coating, which is now made from a wide variety of materials, goes well with wallpaper. This tandem always looks presentable and expensive. Depending on the style of the room, the panel materials used are very different: PVC, gypsum, textiles, wood shavings, sometimes marble and metal. Someone manages to use parquet and laminate on the walls. Why not?
Combination with brick
Many now fashion styles(Gothic, loft or Scandinavian) treat unplastered walls very kindly. To prevent the brutality in the room from going off scale, one of the walls, or only part of it, is left “bare”. The rest of the perimeter is finished with wallpaper suitable for the style and decor, colored or plain.
Combination with decorative stone
Having stripped the walls of plaster, you won’t always get to the brick. But if you still want something stone, then the visible concrete wall can be finished decorative stone. The main requirement is to think through the decoration of the remaining walls, to link the types of coverings and decor with each other.
Tile
The most popular places in the home, the kitchen or the bathroom, cannot do without finishing with an equally popular material - tiles. Tile plus wallpaper - the most universal option, allowing you to realize your design fantasies. In this pair you can play with everything: the shape of the tiles and the pattern of the wallpaper, their texture and color, the method of laying the tiles and gluing the wallpaper.
The combination is built on contrast or combined with a common color and elements. Other materials can be added to the combination: glass panels, decorative plaster.

Examples of wallpaper combinations: visual techniques
The combination of wallpaper in the interior of a large living room
To prevent an overly spacious room (this happens) from seeming uncomfortable and empty, choose wallpaper in dark tones (gray, purple, black) with large patterns as wall decoration. Images can be quite saturated if the interior design does not include active decor and furniture in intense colors. In this case, it is better to decorate the walls near which the furniture is planned to be placed with plain wallpaper, which perfectly matches the patterned wallpaper on the accent wall.
Wallpaper combination for a small room
In a cramped room, thick colors, dark and contrasting combinations will be inappropriate. Save large patterns and intricate geometries for rooms with plenty of square meters. To make a small room feel freer, you can cover one of the walls with light wallpaper with an inconspicuous but textured pattern (for example, a small rhombus - unlike other geometric images, it does not narrow, but, on the contrary, expands the space). The remaining walls in the room can be covered with plain wallpaper with silk-screen printing or glossy coating.
Combination of wallpaper on uneven walls
Wall finishing, in particular wallpapering, is recommended to be carried out after preliminary preparation of its surface - leveling. But even on walls with minor defects, experts do not recommend gluing light wallpaper - everything, even minor defects, will become visible. In a room with uneven walls, it is better to give preference to special leveling wallpaper with a thick base (for example, non-woven), with a discreet pattern or a spotted background.
The combination of wallpaper in the interior of a kitchen with high ceilings
A kitchen with high ceilings (and, probably, large windows) is the dream of any housewife. But so that the room does not look like a school gym, but is cozy and welcoming, try dividing the kitchen space horizontally into two levels of different heights, covering the walls with wallpaper from the same design collection: light on top (with horizontal stripes possible) and dark on the bottom . Emphasize the boundaries between the wallpaper with a contrasting border - this will visually make the ceiling a little lower.
The combination of wallpaper in a room with a lack of sunlight
Warm-colored wallpaper will help maintain harmony between light and color in a dark room. In this case, one of the walls should be much brighter than the others. To make the room “play,” designers recommend using a monochrome combination of colors (for example, rich coral and pale pink, or gold and sand).
Combination of wallpaper in a long room
One type of wallpaper in a disproportionate room can only enhance the effect of an endless tunnel. To prevent this from happening, try to visually stretch out a short wall with wallpaper with a horizontal pattern, and long wall compress using wallpaper with a large, textured image. It is better to look for interesting combinations in one collection - this way the chances of choosing wallpaper with taste increase a hundredfold.
Conclusion
With the help of a skillful combination and numerous contrasts, you can easily play up the shortcomings of the room: geometry, low (high) ceilings, small space, etc., and also divide it into functional zones. Thanks to the incredible selection that many wallpaper manufacturers offer us, creating interesting images for your home is really very easy and enjoyable.
