Shall we combine?

The walls occupy the most large area in the house, therefore they play a vital role in creating the atmosphere. It is not enough to simply choose the color of wallpaper or paint and start renovating. Any designer will first determine the characteristics of the room: is it high or low, light or dark, warm or cold, etc. The purpose of the room is taken into account and the style is selected. Then the colors are selected and the finishing method is thought out.

In a spacious and moderately high room, almost any finish can be used. But the question arises: won’t the walls seem empty, thereby depriving the room of a significant amount of comfort? To avoid this, they resort to using combined finishing. The same option is applicable for “problem” rooms, since proper combination will hide the shortcomings and emphasize the advantages.

You can combine like various materials, so different colors and textures of one material. For example, in kitchens they usually use different finishes for the working and dining areas - in this case it is rarely possible to get by with just one material.

In living rooms, a special finish is often used for the wall next to the sofa. In this case, you can combine both materials and colors. The same technique is used for original design walls in the bedroom - mainly for the head of the bed.

In fact, combined finishing walls is possible in any room. And in many cases, you can only get by by combining colors, using the same material as a basis - for example, paint or wallpaper.

This time we'll talk about combining wallpaper - a very popular technique today that allows you to decorate walls in an original way without spending a lot of effort and money on it.

How to combine wallpaper? Several ideas, methods, techniques

1.How to stick wallpaper in an original way:

vertical stripes

To do this, purchase wallpaper of the same width and texture, but different colors. The stripes alternate one or two. Two color options are available: monochrome (use wallpaper of similar shades) or contrasting (use wallpaper of different colors).

In the first case (monochrome solution), horizontal stripes will create interesting game shadows on the walls. In the second case, the walls will not only be the background for the interior, but also its main highlight, creating the mood of the room.

You can use wallpaper with different patterns: for example, alternate stripes and. This solution is suitable for a retro-style interior.

Wallpaper sheets can be joined traditionally or in an original way - for example, with a wave, zigzag, etc. But this, of course, is a job for great professionals.

2. Combined wallpaper:

horizontal division of walls

Combining wall decoration horizontally is very common. This technique is used in interiors of almost all styles. Wooden and cork panels are often combined with wallpaper and painting. However, it is no less common horizontal division of walls only with wallpaper. It is also possible to combine wallpaper of similar shades or, conversely, contrasting ones. You can combine wallpaper with different textures: for example, cover the bottom of the wall vinyl wallpaper, imitating plaster, and on top - textile wallpaper.

At horizontal division walls by combining wallpaper, it is necessary to use a border to design the joints. Suitable paper border, and polyurethane molding, and wooden slats, And ceiling plinth - the choice, as a rule, depends on the style of the interior and the thickness of the wallpaper. So, if the wallpaper is the same thickness, you can get by with a paper border. But if the thickness of the wallpaper is different, the paper border may lie unevenly.

How to properly divide a wall horizontally? At what height from the floor should I join wallpaper? This also depends on the height of the ceiling. On average, the height of the lower half is 1 meter - this is optimal if the room is low. In a high room, you can make the border between the wallpaper much higher - 1.5 or even 2 meters from the floor.

First, the top sheets are glued, but the bottom of the sheet is not glued. A reserve is left. Then the bottom wallpaper is glued, the top of which is also not glued a little. The allowance must also be left. If you paste wallpaper end-to-end, immediately cutting off the seam allowance, the wallpaper may shrink when drying, causing the joint to increase in size. When both wallpapers are dry, you will need to carefully cut off the excess and glue the wallpaper end-to-end.

Another important point: The junction of the wallpaper should be measured not at the level of the ceiling, but at the level of the floor. Otherwise, when the furniture is placed, the unevenness of the joint in relation to the floor may be noticeable - this will ruin the whole look.

3. How to decorate a wall:

wallpaper inserts

You can first paint the walls or cover them with wallpaper, and then, on top of the primary finish, glue inserts of thicker wallpaper - for example. In this case, wallpaper inserts can be framed with thin strips or moldings. Such decoration of walls with inserts of quadrangular or polygonal shape is typical for interiors in classic style, as well as in the Baroque and Rococo styles.

The inserts can be figured - for this purpose, wallpaper with a large ornament is taken, according to which the parts for the insert are cut out.

4. Combining wallpaper in the interior

inserts over large areas

You can cover the walls of one room with different wallpapers. This technique allows you to highlight certain zones. For example, the wall on which the TV will hang can be covered with wallpaper that contrasts with the decoration of other walls. You can highlight not the entire wall, but only part of it: for example, use contrasting wallpaper to highlight a relaxation area in the bedroom or to decorate the head of the bed.

An interesting solution for combining wallpaper in the interior: pasting the wall behind the head of the bed bright wallpaper, passing to the ceiling.

By combining wallpaper of different colors, you can divide it into personal zones: one wall is covered, for example, orange wallpaper, and the other - green. Each of the residents of this room will have their own zone, highlighted in color. Of course, beds, tables, cabinets, etc. in this case they are placed at different walls.

5. “Patchwork” method of combining wallpaper

To do this, choose well-matching wallpapers: for example, wallpapers with different background colors, but with the same or similar patterns. Or wallpaper of the same color, but in different shades (peach, orange, terracotta). Then the wallpaper is cut into pieces of the required size and pasted - in an orderly or chaotic manner, end-to-end or overlapping. You can paste wallpaper of two colors in a checkerboard pattern or imitate a patchwork quilt on the wall. In a word, there is complete scope for imagination!

6. Combining finishes when

design of niches, protrusions, etc.

To draw attention to a niche or protrusion, they can be covered contrasting wallpaper or wallpaper with ornaments for plain wall decoration. The room will immediately “play.”

1. When choosing wallpaper to combine, do not rely only on your “color” memory. If you have already chosen one wallpaper and want to choose a pair, carry a piece of wallpaper with you. Although it is better to do it simultaneously selection of wallpaper for combination . By unwinding two rolls a little and placing them one next to the other, you can conclude whether the wallpaper matches each other.

2. For combined wallpaper gluing vertically, you need to choose wallpaper of the same thickness, otherwise nothing good will come of it. The best option: choose wallpaper of the same quality, produced by the same manufacturer, but in different colors or with different patterns.

3. If we are talking about wallpaper, creativity is completely acceptable. Especially combined wallpapering allows you to correct deficiencies. So, if you want to visually increase the height of the room, you can simply choose wallpaper with vertical stripes or combine two types of wallpaper by gluing them with vertical stripes. If the room is too high, dividing the wall horizontally by combining wallpaper will make it more comfortable.

Combining wallpaper in the interior, creativity with wallpaper photo:

Considering big choice finishing materials It should be noted that wallpapers are the most easy option make the atmosphere of the room original and unique.

Due to the great demand for decorating walls with wallpaper, more and more offers from manufacturers are appearing - new types are appearing that have different structures and designs. At the same time, the possibilities of various combinations are taken into account - on different wallpapers they create patterns and shades that combine with each other, and this makes the choice between different options much easier for gluing.

Today there are many varieties of wallpaper and wallpaper combinations.

The most fashionable now are:

Use two types of wallpaper that have the same color but different tones. This combination is suitable for decorating one or several walls in a room. The best shade options for such wallpaper are beige, gray and blue. Strict shades will be excellent choice to decorate your office.
Combine plain wallpaper with wallpaper with patterns or ornaments. This option will add dynamics to the interior. Also, using this technique, zoning of the room is carried out, because attention will be focused on certain area. When choosing, it is necessary to take into account that the wallpaper should be well combined in color. Taking bold decisions It is better to consult a professional.
Use wallpaper different types with an image. Quite often they combine wallpaper with ornaments with wallpaper on which horizontal or vertical stripes. Taking into account the compatibility of shades in this case is very important. With wallpaper that has an ornament, a wood theme or wallpaper with geometric patterns also looks beautiful.

Playing with contrasts will also help bring originality to the room. For this purpose, wallpapers that differ in color are used. Emphasis on bright colors will help create zoning. This type of pasting is most common among young people, because in modern style the use of bright contrasting colors is quite popular.

How to beautifully wallpaper a room

In addition to choosing which colors and how to combine, there are many options for gluing them to the walls - depending on the direction, number of types and other nuances.

The technology of wallpapering horizontally is quite popular today. In this case, the wall needs to be divided into two parts and covered with wallpaper of different colors and designs, although there is a tendency to use wallpaper of the same color. Various textures in this gluing option are also relevant. Special borders are used to decorate joints. There are a large variety of them available – paper, wood, plastic, PVC and others. Professional advice teaches that the width of the bottom wallpaper should be at least 1 m wide.

The use of vertical stripes for wall decoration looks quite interesting. This option involves gluing wallpaper in two or more colors, identical in texture and width.

Ideas for this method can be very diverse - you can use both monochrome and contrasting materials.

Selection rules

When choosing wallpaper that has a pattern, you need to ensure that it matches well in design:

An interesting choice is to wallpaper with different sizes and design. It is recommended to stick molding on the joints between such wallpaper; the result is a panel effect and the room takes on an elegant look. This unusual gluing creates interesting zoning.
Highlighting a specific wall is very popular. To do this, we glue accent wallpaper on it that imitates a panel. Often similar methods are used in the design of bedrooms to highlight the wall at the head of the bed.
A rather creative way to paste is to use scraps. In order for everything to look beautiful, you need to glue wallpaper that matches well with each other.

The sticker is applied as follows: first you need to cut scraps from the wallpaper required sizes, then glue them end to end. You can glue either randomly or following a certain sequence. Such an original sticker will add style to any room.

For vertical pasting, it is better to use the same type of wallpaper with the same thickness to avoid too pronounced joints;
When choosing combinable wallpapers, you should put them next to each other to evaluate how well they combine;
When choosing wallpaper with patterns, take into account the features of the room, because they can visually adjust the space.

If there are niches in the room, they can also be decorated with wallpaper. To do this, it is recommended to use either decorated wallpaper, or just a different color.

Pasting wallpaper: interesting ideas for different rooms

An important aspect when choosing wallpaper is the material from which it is made. Now manufacturers offer quite a large selection, the main types are the following.

Paper wallpaper

The most affordable option. Available in a variety of colors, patterns and designs. The advantage of such wallpaper is also its excellent breathability, plus it is an environmentally friendly material. The downside is that they wear out faster than others and that getting rid of them when planning the next renovation is quite difficult.

Vinyl wallpapers

Enough long lasting appearance wallpaper They look quite attractive and do not wear out for a long time. This a good option for walls with uneven surfaces. The pasted area looks even and smooth. If desired, in the future you can easily apply paint to the wallpaper to change the color.

Non-woven wallpaper

They are new to the market. The advantage of this type is the ease of pasting. They breathe and there is no need to treat them with glue. In addition, when planning your next renovation, it’s quite easy to remove them from the walls.

Textile wallpaper

To create a rich and luxurious interior, textile wallpapers are suitable. They are very good, the downside is the high cost and the need for additional care.

The choice of wallpaper color is very important, because the pasted wallpaper sets the overall atmosphere of the room.

Selecting wallpaper color

Good influence on nervous system person cool colors. Therefore, dark blue or green tones are best suited for hot-tempered and impulsive people.

Light spots against this background will be inappropriate. It is not recommended for this type of people to use in decoration bright colors(yellow, red, orange, purple, etc.).

Romantic people will love a room whose interior is decorated in warm colors. It is important that they are not too bright, as this can be annoying. Best choice There will be the use of shades of pink, beige, orange.

Depressive tones, which include black, gray, and brown, are best used for decorating small details.

Wallpapering (video)

Wallpaper is good way bring originality to the interior and give it an interesting look. They can be used to decorate any room in the house - they will help create coziness and provide space for creative solutions.

In this part I will directly talk about the technology of gluing vinyl combined wallpaper on a non-woven basis on specific example. If anyone hasn’t read, then by combined I mean wallpaper from the same series, but in different colors. For a more detailed understanding of the process, I will give names to different rolls of wallpaper, as shown in the photo below:

The material in the article is quite voluminous, so if you are interested in specific points, then use the navigation menu:

1. Selection and preparation of glue

One of the most important points The process of wallpapering walls is the choice of glue. Only high-quality glue will ensure the most reliable adhesion of wallpaper to the wall surface and will avoid problems in the future. On this moment There are a huge number of types of wallpaper on the market, differing in their composition. There is a specialized adhesive for almost every type of wallpaper.

I used Quelyd adhesive designed for glass and non-woven wallpaper. This glue is a white powder that must be diluted in water. If you decide to use this glue, then detailed instructions The proportions are indicated on the packaging. Also on the packaging you can find information about the pasting area for which the adhesive composition should be enough.

To prepare the glue you will need a small plastic bucket with a volume of about 5 liters. You need to fill the bucket with the calculated amount of water (see information on the packaging) corresponding to the amount of glue you are going to use. Next, you need to start mixing the water with a brush, creating a small whirlpool and at the same time carefully pour in the glue. The whole process must be carried out gradually, slowly, to avoid the formation of glue lumps. After preparing the glue, you need to let it sit for 15 minutes, then stir vigorously and get to work.

Important: do not dilute all the glue at once, prepare at least ¼ of it and try it. Firstly, it will be possible to adjust the consistency in the future, and secondly, you may simply not master all the glue, and it’s much more pleasant to work with fresh glue.

2. Where should you start gluing wallpaper?

This question is asked by everyone who is faced with wallpapering for the first time. Previously, in Soviet times, they were widely used paper wallpaper, which were glued overlapping, it was necessary to start pasting the walls from the window, in which case the joints between the wallpaper natural light were the least noticeable.

Nowadays the vast majority of wallpaper is glued end to end. Therefore, you should choose the starting point for pasting based on the following considerations:

Convenience. For example, it is more convenient for me to glue wallpaper, moving from left to right, that is, joining and aligning the left edge of the strip;
Wallpaper consumption. Before you start pasting, you need to figure out how you can reduce consumption and rationally use wallpaper scraps;
Individual characteristics. In the example given in this article, I start gluing from the corner of the room, since this is the only way to ensure an even and neat joint of the combined wallpaper;

3. Technology for gluing wallpaper on a non-woven basis

I would like to highlight general points that will help you understand the principle of wallpapering walls with non-woven wallpaper:

Wallpaper strips are cut depending on the height of the wall and the margin for adjustment. For example, if the wallpaper is monotonous (without adjustment), then we only need to take into account the height of the wall and the margin for trimming at the ceiling and floor (no more than 10 cm), and if the wallpaper has a pattern that requires adjustment, then accordingly we need to take into account the height of the wall, and a margin for fitting, and a margin for trimming. The margin for adjustment depends on the vertical pitch of the pattern;
If you are afraid that you may incorrectly calculate the length of the strip required for fitting, then cut the wallpaper in place. That is, you need to glue the first strip, then unroll the roll, match the pattern on the roll with the already glued strip, make a mark and cut off the strip of wallpaper
Wallpaper glue applied to the wall apply a roller to an area slightly larger than the width of the wallpaper strip; it is more convenient to coat the corners with a brush;
Wallpaper strips are glued end to end. The strip of wallpaper begins to be glued from top to bottom, slightly leading to the ceiling, and at the same time it is aligned either along a vertical drawn line (if this is the first strip on the wall) or along the edge of the already pasted strip of wallpaper;
Then the wallpaper strip is smoothed out; air bubbles and excess glue must be expelled. Movements must be made from the center of the strip to its edges. For smoothing, use a plastic spatula, a dry, clean cloth or a wallpaper brush;
The glue protruding from the wallpaper joint must be removed with a damp, clean cloth;
The wallpaper joint must be carefully ironed; a special roller is used for this, but you can also use a plastic spatula;
Excess wallpaper on top and bottom is trimmed with a utility knife using a metal spatula.

4. How to match wallpaper of different colors in the corner of a room?

This is one of the first questions that arises when covering walls with wallpaper of different colors. We will try to analyze it in as much detail as possible.

The method of joining wallpaper discussed below is called “trimming” or “trimming” the wallpaper in the corner.

The essence of the method is that the wallpaper is glued with a slight overlap, then a cut is made along this overlap, respectively, through two layers of wallpaper at once, the excess wallpaper is removed, and the joint is smoothed.

In my case, wallpapers of different colors are joined, so the boundary between the canvases should pass strictly along the corner of the room, and accordingly the cut is made along the corner, but if strict separation of the wallpaper in the corner is not required, then it is better to make the cut on one of the walls, stepping back a small distance from the corner (5-15 mm), this way the joint will be smoother.

An example of wallpaper joining in the corner of a room:

Step 1. We need to draw two vertical lines on adjacent walls, this is done with a simple pencil. Since the width of the roll (in my case) is 53 cm, and the overlap needs to be about 5 cm, then you need to step back about 48 cm from the corner of the wall, in one direction or the other, and draw vertical lines using building level or a plumb line.

Step 2. Then we need to apply glue within these lines. Take a roller and a tray of glue and carefully apply the glue to the wall, hard to reach places(corners) coat with a brush.

Step 3. We take a strip of patterned wallpaper and carefully glue it from top to bottom, smoothing out any unevenness with a special plastic spatula, or you can also use a clean cloth or wallpaper brush.

In the photo below we see that the wallpaper is glued with an overlap on the adjacent wall within 5 cm:

Step 4. We cut off excess wallpaper that extends onto the floor or ceiling using a metal spatula.

Step 6. Carefully smooth out the wallpaper in the corner:

1. It is very important that the knife is sharp, then the joint will be neat and even.

2. It is much more convenient to make a cut with two people: one holds the spatula, the other cuts.

Step 8. Removing cut strips of wallpaper:

In my case, the “patterned” wallpaper was underneath the “green” wallpaper, so I peel back the wallpaper a little (photo above) and pull out a cut strip of “patterned” wallpaper:

Step 9. The wall under the folded wallpaper must be coated with glue using a brush, and then the wallpaper must be pressed tightly against the wall:

Step 10. Smooth out the wallpaper at the joint with a plastic spatula. The wallpaper joint in the corner is ready:

If you use plain or striped wallpaper, then it is more correct to make the joint not in the very corner of the room, but on the wall, 10-20 mm away from the corner, this way it is easier to make a neat cut and the seam will be smooth

5. Wallpapering around switches and sockets

If the socket and switch have not yet been installed, then steps 1 and 2 can be skipped:

De-energize the switch or socket, and then carefully remove it from the socket and disconnect the wire;
Hide the wire in the socket so that it does not interfere with the pasting, having previously insulated it;
Paste a piece of wallpaper over the hole for the switch or socket;
Take a utility knife and make a circular cut along the outline of the hole;
Carefully smooth out the wallpaper with a plastic spatula next to the hole.

6. Pasting the room with combined wallpaper. Main stages.

After making the joint in the corner, you choose which direction to move. I started covering the wall with “green” wallpaper. Having almost completely covered this wall, I left space only for the outer strip, since it needs to be joined through the slot with the “white” wallpaper.

Then I returned to corner No. 1 and began to move towards the window, covering the wall with “patterned” wallpaper:

Then, in corner No. 2, I joined the “patterned” wallpaper with the “white” wallpaper using the same technology that was presented above, that is, through a slot. The docking process is shown in the photo:

I left the wall with the window for last, since it was necessary to replace the radiator and paint the heating riser. I moved to a long wall with “white” wallpaper (item No. 17 according to the diagram), again drew a vertical line along the level and began to paste the wall from left to right.

In corner No. 4 I made a junction of “white” wallpaper with “green” wallpaper (photo below):

IN last resort, as mentioned above, I took up the wall with the window.

The main task when covering this wall was to join the wallpaper through the cut above and below the window. The point is that due to window opening the height of the joint in this case will be minimal, and the joint located under the window can be hidden under the heating radiator. Therefore, the pasting diagram shows that the movement when pasting wallpaper is carried out from the corners to the center of the wall. Strips 33 and 35, as well as 30 and 32 are joined through a slot. The pasting process is clearly shown in the photo below:

To hang wallpaper beautifully, you should study the basic rules of combination, popular color combinations, take into account the functionality, size and lighting of the rooms.

Combining canvases

Ways to combine two types of wallpaper:

vertical zoning;
horizontal zoning;
highlighting an accent wall;
niche design;
separate inserts;
decoration with flaps.

Vertical and horizontal zoning

Vertical zoning is most often used to decorate rooms with low ceilings. For this finishing method, you will need wallpaper of a similar texture and width, contrasting or similar in color. The stripes are glued in the center of the room to visually narrow the space, in the corners - to visually expand the rooms. Uniform pasting blurs the spatial boundaries of the room. How to beautifully hang wallpaper this way, look at the photo.

When zoning a room horizontally, you can use wallpaper of different structures. When gluing canvases, you should correctly divide the room: the lower part should end at the level of one meter, for rooms with high ceilings- at the level of 1.5-2 meters. Look at the photo to see how you can beautifully stick wallpaper using this principle.

Highlighting an accent wall, niches, protrusions

To hang wallpaper beautifully and modernly, you need to choose the right wall for decoration. It can be located opposite the entrance, at the dining or play area. Most often, emphasis is done using:

colors;
textures;
plot;
ornament;
drawing.

Niches, projections, partitions, and partitions are designed in the same way. Looks good accent wall, covered with photo wallpaper, bamboo or cork coverings, embossed wallpaper. This method of pasting is used to attract attention to interior details: paintings, fireplace, collection family photos. Look at the photo, which shows how to beautifully wallpaper a bedroom.

other methods

Design with flaps involves cutting various kinds canvases of the same thickness and size in a certain order and gluing wallpaper end-to-end or overlapping. This design is used in the decoration of kitchens and children's rooms. See how it looks in the photo.

The use of wallpaper inserts is carried out after pasting or painting the walls; as a rule, they are decorated with moldings or frames different shapes. You can choose a pattern in several variations. Look at the photo.

How to modernly glue in the bedroom

To wallpaper your bedrooms in a modern way, you should consider that:

rooms that use a minimum of decorative elements look beautiful;
the sleeping area looks good, highlighted accent wall, embossed canvases or photo wallpapers, wallpaper inserts with moldings, patterned surfaces of niches and protrusions;
Bright and dark colors should be used sparingly. The former are appropriate only as attention-grabbing details, dark wallpaper will absorb light in the room;
Wallpaper in the bedroom should be in harmony with textile elements - pillows, curtains, blankets. Contrasting combinations are also possible.

You can see how to beautifully stick combined wallpaper in the video:

One of the latest trends in interior design is the use of different colors on the walls. This technique allows you to diversify the design and focus attention on some part of the room. To correct layout deficiencies, use different drawings in one color scheme. All these techniques work perfectly with wallpaper: they have different textures, colors, drawings. Moreover, the result can be assessed in advance by rolling out two rolls side by side on the wall. That is why wallpapering of two types is increasingly popular: it is modern and gives the opportunity to make rooms interesting.

Rules for combining wallpaper and textures

In such a matter as design, one cannot do without rules, and even more so when combining colors, patterns and textures. In order for wallpapering of two types to look harmonious, it is necessary to take into account whole line parameters.

Ceiling height

It is this characteristic of the room that dictates the choice of the type of pattern, and also largely determines the texture and color. If the ceiling height is less than 2.5 m, use wallpaper in light colors, without a rough texture, with a small pattern. If the ceilings are very low, a combination of a light main background with a faint texture or pattern, vertical stripes (a pattern, or just canvases of a different color) that can be located on one wall, but it is better to distribute them over two or even three, can correct the situation.

Vertical stripes “raise” the ceiling

High ceilings - from 3 m and above - require a radically different approach. Here, on the contrary, it is necessary large drawing, stretched wide. You can use horizontal wall divisions using different colors in the top and bottom halves (see more below). To make this design look modern - this is still a classic technique - you need to put a lot of effort into choosing colors and/or patterns.

Room dimensions

In addition to height and width, we pay attention to geometry. First, to the square. If the room is large, you can use more saturated or darker shades. This will visually reduce the dimensions. If plain dark walls If you are not happy, find dark-colored wallpaper with a light, large pattern. As a rule, these are plant motifs, abstraction or geometry are also found.

In small rooms, everything is definitely the opposite: use bright hues. If it has a texture, then it is not large; the pattern is small, not very clearly expressed.

Secondly, we pay attention not to geometry. If the room is long and narrow. In this case, the situation will be saved by gluing two types of wallpaper: lighter ones are glued to short walls, and some of them “go around” the corner. This way the geometry is visually aligned.

There is another technique that is used if the entrance to narrow room is located on one of long sides. Then it’s worth highlighting the middle of the opposite wall with a different color, pasting the corners with the same wallpaper that is intended for short ones. The perception of the room will change significantly: it will no longer seem so long.

Selecting a texture

In general, gluing two types of wallpaper requires careful selection of the texture and thickness of the canvas. When combining, it is advisable to use the same type of panels. If the joining occurs only in the corners, then the thickness and texture can be special attention Don't worry: you still won't see much in a place like this. But if the connection of the canvases is on a flat wall, then the difference in thickness will only emphasize the transition. It usually looks too exaggerated.

One more moment. If you still decide to glue the canvases different types, you need to use the appropriate glue for them. For example, for wallpaper on a non-woven basis, you have your own - on paper - your own. The same applies to the coating - for vinyl and structured canvases there is a different type, for acrylic - another. Don't want to fool your head? Buy a universal one. There are such compositions.

Light or dark

If the room is too light, or the interior is too monotonous, it is not necessary to use dark wallpaper on all walls. You can cover the wall opposite the window dark, let the rest be light. As a result, the room will not be very bright, and you will get rid of the oppressive atmosphere that dark walls create.

This technique works the other way around: to brighten a room, just hang light-colored canvases on the wall opposite the window. It will become much lighter.

How to compose

There are several techniques for gluing two types of wallpaper, which can be used “in their pure” form or combined two or three at a time. It is important to have a good idea of what exactly you want to achieve.

Vertical combination

Probably everyone knows that vertical stripes give visual increase ceiling height. Moreover, the stripes do not have to be regular. IN modern interpretation One wall may have striped wallpaper, while the rest may be plain-painted or have a dim, barely noticeable pattern.

But this is not always the case. You can distribute vertical stripes on different walls. Moreover, they can be regular - repeated at regular intervals. As you can see in the photo, the interval is different walls may be different.

The stripes can be different - in color or pattern. The texture of this combination of wallpaper should be the same, otherwise you will get an incomprehensible jumble. For such a combination, it is easiest to work with one collection. The fact is that most campaigns release several designs that combine with each other. As a rule, they are available in several colors. One collection has two or three plain backgrounds and several options with patterns.

You can see an example of using three wallpapers from one collection in the photos below and above. The combination is almost perfect - they were tested for compatibility many times before starting production. By the way, in most of the other photographs, wallpapers are also combined from the same collection. It’s just that it’s very difficult to combine different textures normally.

When combining vertically, there is another interesting technique that allows you to make the ceiling higher. One of the stripes “extends” to the ceiling. At the same time, the transition boundary is blurred, which gives a feeling of greater volume.

To make the principle of the stripes a little clearer, we present several options in graphic representation. The drawings are made as if viewed from above.

This win-win options, which will always “play” when choosing paintings from one collection. If you need a guarantee that wallpapering two types will be effective, use one of these schemes. This wall design has been tested thousands of times, and every time the result is excellent.

Horizontal division

A technique that can be considered a design classic. It has been used for a long time, but with the current abundance of colors and textures it has acquired a completely new meaning. This technique is more often used in rooms with small area, but with high ceilings. Horizontal division of the room helps to remove the “well” effect. It could just be a horizontal strip that encircles the room. It is often tied to the height of the window sills, but in general it is carried out when dividing the plane into three parts and can be located in the lower or upper third.

This rule is often violated: sometimes the strip is made at eye level and at this level they hang some decorative elements. It often looks very good. This technique is often found when

The division zone can also extend at the top. Traditionally, the lower part is designed in a more dark colors, the top one is lighter. But this rule is also broken. An example is in the photo below.

Traditional options for combining two types of companion wallpaper with horizontal division:

bottom (1/3) - striped wallpaper. top - smoothly painted or with a small pattern;
bottom - 1/3 - in a small pattern, top - large monograms or plain ones;
2/3 at the bottom is a large pattern - monochromatic at the top.

Traditional pasting with horizontal division is one of the options

Zoning

Wallpaper of different colors in one room is also used if it is necessary to emphasize zoning. For example, in studio apartments, different functional areas: dining and recreation.

The same principle can be applied in a nursery. In this case, gluing two types of wallpaper serves to separate the play area, bed, and table. The same applies if there are two children in the nursery. This is only possible if there is no competition between them, otherwise the number conflict situations may increase.

With this combination, the use of different textures is allowed. But separating them with moldings is used very rarely. They try to either join in the corners, or choose wallpaper so that the joint does not look provocative.

Panel or decorative insert

Different wallpapers have been glued in one room for a long time, only once they were made of fabric, and they were decorated in “frames” because they were very expensive and were accessible only to the upper class. Since those times, it has become a custom: gluing two types of wallpaper in the form of a panel. And today they design it this way classic interiors, using silk-screen printing, embossed or textured options for insertion.

If the style allows, elements of a different color are framed from. This design option fits perfectly into classic interiors or Provence and country styles.

A similar panel is possible in more modern styles- modern, for example. But then the frame can be made from a border of the same color - from the same collection, or cut from the “body” of wallpaper.

Another option is to paste it into a niche. In this case, the design and texture are selected according to the style, as well as other designs.

And in this case, it is best to use wallpaper from the same collection. A professional decorator will select them based on experience or using instinct, but amateurs may not succeed. If you don't want to take risks, use one collection.

Color accents

There are two principles for using this technique. The first is to divert attention from some element that you consider unsightly. For example, uneven walls. In some apartments they may be sloping. To prevent the eye from clinging to this fact, the opposite wall is highlighted with wallpaper of a different color, with or without a pattern. It is important that they attract attention.

The second technique is gluing two types of wallpaper to attract attention to some object in the interior. In bedrooms this is often either the bed or the opposite wall. Here who wants to emphasize something (). In kitchens, a table is often allocated - thus forming dining area. This is partly zoning, partly accent. Still, attention is diverted from the kitchen area.

Accentuating a wall near a piece of furniture - interesting way hang wallpaper in two colors

The actual accent can be not only a vertically directed strip, although this option is more common: our rooms do not have high ceilings, so any means are good. IN high room accent can be broad horizontal stripe- or some part of the wall, as in the photo below.

Two techniques at once: different colors and different textures

Some rooms have ledges load-bearing walls or niches. Often they try to disguise them. There is absolutely no need to do this. By highlighting this area with wallpaper of a different color, it can be turned into an architectural highlight that will add individuality to the room.

Wallpapering two types: protruding “remnants” of load-bearing walls can be turned into an asset

In general, the options for hanging wallpaper of different colors in one room are endless. Choose what you like best, and so that it is more ideas, below there is a whole section with different photos.
