When repairing an apartment, quite a lot of attention is paid to the color scheme of the walls, as it sets the mood in the home. Furniture and accessories are secondary and are selected after the design of the walls. What are the options for combining wallpaper? How to choose the right shades?
The nuances of choice
Many people who are thinking about making interior design combined make one gross mistake - they go straight to the hardware store. A significant drawback of this option is that the stores offer a fairly extensive selection of wallpapers of different plan and shades, making the right choice can be quite difficult. At the same time, it is often possible to purchase materials that do not combine in shades, textures. In order for such purchases to be successful, you need to bring a person who is versed in design and will be able to give good advice.
The right choice of wallpaper for combining begins on the Internet, where you can see various design options, combinations of colors and determine exactly what the apartment should be in the end. Only then can you go shopping.
Shade selection
Before deciding on the choice of a picture, you need to choose the color scheme of the entire room. Shades can be warm and cold. The former will make the room more comfortable and bright, and the latter will help visually expand the space, which is important for apartments with a small footage. It should be remembered that the color scheme should be all or warm and cold, since the combination of such shades among themselves can spoil any interior.
Also, when choosing a solo shade of a room, one should rely on personal taste. The universal option is the use of neutral colors, as bright shades are able to annoy.
Close colors
There are a great many photos of options for combining wallpapers in the living room and other rooms. However, their shades may be related. For example, plain or similar wallpapers, which differ only in pattern, are a universal option. It is important to select wallpapers from one collection, since there is a great risk of making a mistake with the choice and sticking absolutely diverse wallpapers.
Contrast
Contrasting colors allow you to zone the room. For example, one soloing shade is chosen, which will be designed throughout the room, and wallpaper with a pattern that will highlight one wall. Thus, you can arrange a zone near the TV, bedside space.
Combination Methods
There are several common options for combining wallpapers:
- Solid color + drawing is the most optimal and universal way, since all the walls, except one, are filled with the main color, and only one is highlighted with the help of patterned wallpaper. In this case, the picture can be either a contrasting shade, or close to the main one. It is important to note that the walls with a picture are a self-contained element and do not require additional decoration.
- Drawing + drawing. This decoration option suits only the most daring, as it looks quite bold and even defiant.
- Geometry + drawing or monophonic. Geometric prints are also one of the varieties of the picture, but they look completely different. They need to be selected quite carefully, since too strict lines can get bored over time. Most often, prints are selected in the form of ovals, zigzags, stripes.
Photos of the wallpaper combination options show all the stylistic diversity and make it possible to choose the most suitable interior decoration.
Combination Methods
Interior designers recommend such methods of combining a variety of wallpapers:
- One wall involves wallpapering only that wall, which takes on increased attention. This is usually a wall at the head of the bed, behind a sofa or at the TV.
- In the form of a picture. This option for combining wallpaper is pasted over with a rectangle or square on the wall, which must be highlighted. The framing of the "picture" is monophonic wallpaper, which glued the whole room, or a baguette, which is designed to imitate the frame.
- Stripes are also able to attract attention. In this case, the wall is alternately decorated with plain basic wallpaper and material with a defiant pattern.
- Focus on the niche. A niche in itself is an interesting detail of the interior, however, to enhance this effect, it can be framed inside with colorful bright wallpapers.
The choice of method depends on the personal wishes of the owner of the apartment, and is also done taking into account the dimensions of the room.
Wallpaper and texture combinations
The photo of the options for combining wallpaper for a bedroom or other rooms clearly shows the use of a large number of different textures of materials with which you can create a unique interior. At the same time, there are some unspoken rules that are recommended by experienced interior designers:
- Ceiling height. In a standard apartment, where the ceiling height is below 2.5 meters, it is important to choose a wallpaper with a medium-sized picture of light shades, this will help to significantly increase the space. Vertical stripes that visually make the ceiling higher are welcome. With a ceiling height of more than 3 meters, it is necessary to give preference to a large drawing or to divide the wall horizontally into two halves using wallpaper of different colors.
- Dimensions of the room. In a large room, you can use absolutely any shade of wallpaper, including dark. Small rooms require a visual expansion of the space with the help of light shades.
- Texture. Due to the textures, you can make the room much more expressive. However, when using several options for materials, it is necessary to select the texture so that they do not contradict each other. Ideally, if the wallpaper is used from the same collection, where shades and textures are in harmony.
With the right choice of a combination of wallpaper, you can visually divide the room into zones.
Interior effects
How to stick wallpaper? Combination options may be different, but with the right selection, you can achieve the following goals:
- Hide flaws. It may seem strange, but bright wallpaper with a large pattern will help to hide the irregularities of the wall. Thus, hiding the problem, you can create a bright and individual interior.
- Zoning space. This technique can be used in almost any room. In the kitchen you can select a zone for eating, in the bedroom - the head of the bed, and in the living room - a wall with a TV. In addition, by dividing the room with a plasterboard partition and highlighting it with other wallpapers, you can visually add another room to the apartment.
- Adjust the geometry of space. For example, you can make a long and narrow corridor more voluminous and square by highlighting the end walls with dark-colored wallpaper.
- Wall murals, which can be matched to any interior design, will help to make a wall a decorative element. Such a wall can be the highlight of the whole room.
- Create an emphasis on the desired wall. At the same time, what stands next to this wall is automatically highlighted - a sofa, a wardrobe, a fireplace.
In order to make the interior as successful as possible, you should choose the right shades of wallpaper and their texture.
Color combinations
For those who are not too versed in interior design, there are ready-made patterns of color combinations that can be used to design a room:
- white and beige of a warm or cold hue are perfectly combined with many colors from the palette, as they are neutral;
- close in compatibility can be called such colors as pink and purple, blue and blue, herbal and light green;
- contrasting, but interesting are the combinations of burgundy and pink, green and yellow, brown and turquoise;
