Fashionable wallpaper in the interior is the main focus. The situation of a house or apartment can tell a lot about the selected trend areas, as well as about the taste of the owner. Interior design demonstrates the individuality and atmosphere of the home. Fashion is often pragmatic. So, if you follow it, you can learn a lot of interesting things. In this article we will look at fashion trends of wallpapers this year.
Selection rules
Before you find out which wallpapers are fashionable in 2018, you need to decide what you should look at first of all in the building materials store. In addition to the obvious factors, which include fashion trends and budget constraints, there are rules that adhere to which you can avoid disappointment.
Shades
The color wheel is divided into cold and warm colors. According to designers, the fashionable colors of wallpaper in warm colors create a cozy atmosphere in the rooms, but visually reduce it. The cold ones “push” the walls a little. This is due to different wavelengths of colors and visual perception. Before you make repairs in warm colors in a small room, you need to think about whether there is a desire to visually reduce the size of the room.
Try to take a chance - pick contrasting colors. Although take your time, hold your eyes longer on the selected colors, probably returning to them, you will appreciate that already in the store such fashionable modern wallpapers begin to annoy. This is a very dangerous symptom, since at home they will have to contemplate them daily. Regardless of whether you are ready to look at contrasting wallpapers for a long time, it is advisable not to use them in those places where the family mostly relaxes.
"Fitting"
Compliance with this rule will take time, but the effort then will certainly pay off. Directly in the store, roll a roll of beautiful and fashionable meter wallpaper into two. And then you will understand whether you made a mistake with the choice or not. Looking at the wallpaper in expanded form, you can mentally try to imagine them at home on the walls and with furniture together.
Type of wallpaper
"Heavy" vinyl fashion wallpaper will not fit in the room for the baby. Environmentally friendly, lightweight, namely paper ones, look more appropriate. In their manufacture, complex chemical additives are not used, they “breathe” without interfering with oxygen exchange in the room. In the kitchen, wallpaper for painting is appropriate. Liquid look great in the hallway or living room, in other words, where there is no excessive humidity.
Material
When choosing interior designers are advised to consider the style features of the wallpaper. The material used in the production is the main component of a successful result.
Textile wallpaper
They are made in this way: textile fibers are industrially applied on a non-woven backing. For these purposes, the fibers are natural and artificial. Textile wallpaper looks very picturesque, especially velor and velvet. But under the rays of the sun all their charm disappears. The fact is that they are prone to burnout. In addition, the dust that penetrates through the fibers contributes to their rapid wear.
Paper wallpaper
Their main advantage is their low price. The next, but important advantage is the ease of working with them. They are preferable in terms of environmental properties because they consist of cellulose, a natural pure product. The next plus is breathability, which means they are suitable for the nursery and bedroom. The industry produces not only ordinary paper wallpapers. You can see rolls with fashionable prints and embossed. Their quality is not inferior to vinyl.
Vinyl wallpapers
Spectacular, with juicy bright colors, which do not fade in the sun and under the influence of moisture, they have an interesting property - they are washed without any damage to the surface. At the same time, they can be used in rooms that are regularly ventilated, since they do not allow air to pass through. Similar wallpapers are made of acrylic. They also do not “breathe” and wash well.
Cullet
They have all the advantages of coating for walls: easy to clean (active detergents in particular), do not dust. They can be painted, although this is only advisable if the main drawing is boring. And for cullet it is bright and clear. They just have amazing durability. They do not cause allergies, since when heated toxins and no harmful substances are not released. In general, they consist of advantages alone. Although there is still a drawback - a rather high price, which is partially offset by a long period of use.
The liquid wallpaper
They are the most unusual of those that can be found. Sold in bags, not in rolls. What it is? In a special powder, which consists of cellulose, silk (the most expensive items from one silk), decoration elements (spangles, crumbs), dyes, as well as various additives that prevent decay, pour water, and then apply it as a paint on the walls. They are almost harmless, it is enough to simply study the composition, although it is very expensive, especially silk.
What wallpaper is now in fashion?
The most fashionable coatings are those that could fit harmoniously into the home. But do not forget that 1-2 fresh trends that determine fashion are outlined annually. At the moment, a cheap and practical option is gaining popularity, which is very convenient to install. He will not disappoint in the future. Prints change every year, but it’s pointless to amuse oneself, running after fashionable novelties - wallpapers will last you several years. The main trend remains democracy and individuality, since there are a huge number of options for rooms with different parameters, which are completely suitable for completely opposite materials.
So, consider what wallpapers are now in fashion, according to designers:
- for many years, a geometric pattern is relevant, for which it will be necessary to purchase a larger number of repair materials to make the pattern look perfect;
- the use of plain wallpaper is a good find as a background or in a small room;
- if we talk about the material, liquid wallpapers are gaining popularity at a fast pace, since many have liked their beautiful simplicity and texture, despite the overpriced;
- a floral pattern, regardless of size, will expressively look along with adjacent plain walls.
You can combine different prints. Plant drawings are great for plain walls, on bright cullets the geometric pattern with the liquid adjoins very well.
Texture
It is possible to emphasize the unique microclimate in the apartment with the help of color harmony, as well as texture. The design of the room will depend on a competent choice, as well as accuracy during installation. Experts believe that fashionable wallpaper for walls with a textured pattern will help to hide small wall defects, however, it will take a lot of experience and skill to apply them on the wall yourself.
Embossed paper wallpaper is created by the method of pulp molding. Such coatings are non-allergenic and environmentally friendly, suitable for all surfaces. At the same time, the texture of vinyl wallpaper is not particularly visible, if we are not talking about paper-based canvases. In this case, the picture becomes a little sharper.
The relief pattern on fashionable non-woven wallpaper for walls can be damaged by careless use, while simple non-woven coatings are resistant to damage. On fiberglass webs, the effect of an uneven surface is created due to various weaves of fibers.
The most fashionable textured wallpaper is liquid. With the help of them you can decorate entire rooms, as well as one any wall. Their incredible popularity is justified by excellent characteristics and quality.
The most fashionable colors
It was already mentioned above that all colors are conditionally divided into cold and warm. Conditionally, since, for example, the yellow shade of autumn leaves is warm, and lemon - cold. The perception of tone depends on the structure of the nervous system, as well as the wavelength that each color emits in different ways. As you know, the cold shades of the room make it more spacious.
True, not only cold. The ability to enlarge the house is available for wallpapers of light colors, and warm colors too. It is believed that warm colors (beige, orange, terracotta) make the room small, but the same effect can be achieved by applying cold dark shades.
If the room is bright, you need to choose fashionable wallpapers in cool shades, for example, blue, green, aquamarine, as well as gray tones mixed with them. If the room is a bit dark, its warm shades can fill with light. And be sure to consider the style and color of the furniture that will be in this room.
Care Methods
Care of the paintings depends, first of all, on the material that was used in their manufacture. Paper wallpapers cannot be washed, they can only be carefully cleaned of dust with a dry soft cloth. To remove stains from the paper wallpaper, take a bread crumb. To cope with a greasy stain, you can try to moisten it a little with kerosene and then wipe with a ball of white bread.
Acrylic and vinyl wallpapers can be washed, they are not afraid of moisture. Wipe them nevertheless neatly with a mild detergent and a damp sponge. Or use a simple washing shampoo for such coatings. Non-woven wallpaper can be washed with simple means with a sponge.
In addition, coatings for painting, which are painted with acrylic paint, are excellently washed. It is easy to wash them, observing that the top coat of paint is not erased. Cullets would be good to regularly clean or vacuum. Also, a vacuum cleaner will help in cleaning liquid wallpaper.

They are well washed from dirt and are affordable. In addition, the stores have a huge assortment of vinyl wallpapers of all kinds of colors, which will make it possible to choose the necessary gamut and combine several colors, delimiting the area for eating and cooking. It is advisable to choose wallpaper not monophonic, but with an ornament, and more variegated, to hide various stains from sauces and oils on the walls, because, one way or another, no one is protected from such consequences during cooking.
