One of the latest trends in interior design is the use 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, a large drawing, stretched in width, is needed. Can be used horizontal division walls using different colors in the top and bottom half (see details 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 do not please you, 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 light colors. 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 canvases light color 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.

These are win-win options that 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 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 are divided in this way: dining and relaxation.

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 classic interiors are decorated in this way, 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 the accent can be a wide 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.

For creating unique interior, stylish and fashionable room design, designers urge you to pay attention to the possibility of combining different wallpapers in one space. There are a lot of ways of such a combination, each has its own purpose and its own pros and cons. In this article we will consider all aspects of combining wallpaper.

Peculiarities

Modern manufacturers wallpaper makers have long been offering to combine several wallpapers that match the type in one room. Designers are developing special collections that feature double wallpaper companions, made in the same color scheme, from the same material, with the same relief. Usually one of the companions is a bright, colorful or fantasy-patterned canvas, and the second is a plain version that matches the color.

But this does not mean at all that when choosing decoration for the walls, you must be strictly guided by the factory offer. Having good taste and an understanding of the basic rules of combination, you can create your own ensemble, unique and special.

First of all, it is worth assessing the size and features of the room, its lighting, shape and purpose.

For small rooms You should choose light colors of both companions, this will help expand the space and let in more light.

Combination possible dark wallpaper with a white pattern and a pure white companion. Vertical stripes on the walls will help to visually lift the ceiling, but if the stripes are very active, they should definitely be diluted with a more restrained partner.

Plain wallpaper can look boring and require large quantity accessories to create an atmosphere, but bright prints on the walls will help bring solemnity and elegance.

Thus, the main features of the combination are the deliberate suppression of an overly bright pattern, which in large quantities can cause discomfort, placing accents using contrasting solutions, introducing variety into the interior of the room, transforming the imperfect layout of the apartment.

However, with independent choice wallpaper companions should be careful: usually when choosing more than 2 types of canvases, it can be difficult to avoid chaos. When the room is completely papered, the furniture is arranged, the impression of disorder is created due to the abundance of colors. You must have good spatial imagination or use ready-made options interiors, if you really want to bring to life the idea of ​​combining 3 or 4 different wallpapers at once.

Decoration effects

By combining wallpaper you can achieve some spectacular interior design basics. For example, to focus on some area in the room. In the bedroom, the wall next to the bed can be covered with paper bright wallpaper with a floral print, while the other three walls are done in a plain pastel color scheme.

Sometimes the design of a room does not end with wallpaper on the wall. Zoning provides for the continuation of pasting on the ceiling. This technique is used both in the bedroom and in the living room. In the latter case, most often they try to highlight either a part of the wall behind the sofa or behind the TV, and particularly daring owners combine these two spaces, starting to paste over upholstered furniture, continuing on the ceiling and ending with the part of the wall behind the TV.

The visual effect of the decor can make you feel like you are watching a movie in a theater.

Bold ideas come to those who choose to zone a wall with several wallpapers. In this case, there is no functional significance as to where and how to glue this or that fabric according to color and texture. Stick to the principle of symmetry or play around architectural features premises. This combination will help hide the layout defect.

If the walls in your apartment are uneven, combining wallpaper is the best way to hide it. Bright accents will distract attention, and a well-chosen texture will visually smooth out the wall.

It will help to expand the space and “raise” the ceilings right choice combination method. Designers have long been using the tricks of combining different colors and prints in one room for these purposes; now anyone can try one of the options, the main thing is to follow the advice and clearly understand what effect you want to achieve.

Wall like bright element decor will help solve many problems:

• will allow you to abandon the selection of small accessories, such as paintings, shelves, decorative mirrors, vases;
• will create a strong accent that can be supported by just a couple of pillows in similar colors or prints;
• will save your money on purchasing additional design attributes;
• will give a feeling of completeness to the interior.

Methods

To choose the best way to combine wallpaper, you should determine the strengths and weak sides in the architecture of the room. A competent combination of colors and patterns will help visually transform the room, make it larger and brighter. Let's look at these methods in more detail:

Combining horizontally

When creating an interior with a combination of wallpaper horizontally, you must strictly adhere to the functional and stylistic design requirements:

• the top should always be lighter than the bottom. Otherwise, the room will not become more spacious, but rather cramped;
• it is necessary to measure the length of the wallpaper from the floor so that the horizontal strip of the joint is parallel to the upper border of the furniture (the room may begin to “dance” due to the fact that the floor, as a rule, is not always perfectly flat);
• if the joint is a little loose, it can be decorated with either a paper border, or molding, or a wooden lath. If the top and bottom parts of the wallpaper differ in thickness and relief, a paper border should absolutely not be used. It is very thin and is not able to make the transition beautiful and smooth.

The horizontal division proportions may vary, much depends on the design and the selected wallpaper print:

• Wall division 50/50 It will be beautiful and dynamic if you choose two plain canvases without a pattern, contrasting in color, separated by a white molding. You can consider wallpaper with a print, but keep in mind that in this division you give equal importance to both halves of the wall, which means the pattern must be equal, otherwise the design of the room will become difficult to understand and will cause controversial emotions;
• The lower part is narrow, the upper part is wide. This classic option assumes the most understandable solution: at the top - light wallpaper, below – darker. Often in such combinations there are wallpapers with striped prints, damask patterns, floral patterns, and plain companions;
• The lower part is very wide, the upper part is narrow. This is an exquisite combination that can be skillfully played out if you choose good partners. A plain wide bottom with a narrow strip of wallpaper with an ornament at the top looks beautiful and elegant;
• Dividing the wall into 3 parts. The main principle is the principle of symmetry. The bottom and top sections should be the same width, no matter how wide the middle section is.

Vertical combination

Vertical stripes on the walls of the room visually make the ceiling higher. Moreover, it does not matter at all how many such stripes are in the interior. For example, in a room covered with plain wallpaper neutral color, to add accents or to create natural decorative elements, it is worth adding variety by introducing several stripes of wallpaper with patterns. Such stripes look best as an auxiliary attribute for highlighting a zone.

For example, a TV hanging in the living room can be framed on the sides by two canvases with ornaments. The same ornament can highlight the area behind the sofa with one wide stripe, just opposite the TV.

Patchwork combination

The popularization of handmade has contributed to the fact that now almost everyone knows what patchwork is. Fashionable today, “grandmother’s” blankets smoothly moved onto the walls.

This technique combines a variety of prints and colors. Stripes, ornaments, checks, flowers, polka dots - all this is on one wall, and it looks harmonious and cheerful.

Panel

This method allows you to creatively decorate the walls of a room without looking for suitable paintings or posters. A panel of wallpaper with an interesting print goes well with companion wallpaper or with any other canvas that matches the texture and color, but does not carry a heavy semantic load, unlike a painting. You can also consider the option of photo wallpaper.

The junction of the panel and the main canvas is usually decorated with moldings or wooden slats.

A vertical combination in the living room is appropriate with inserts of wallpaper with a pattern together with a monochromatic partner.

The shape of the panel can be almost any, but these look harmonious in the interior geometric figures like a rectangle or square. Corners can be beveled or rounded. The choice of geometry for such a picture depends entirely on the availability of a suitable way to decorate the joint.

When decorating a classic design or baroque style in the interior, this method of combination will create the necessary atmosphere and favorably support the idea.

Accent

Often in interior design there is a technique where one of the four walls of the room is made with an active accent print, while the other 3 are plain. This technique is good for any room. This way you can highlight a dining area in the kitchen, a wall against which there is a sofa in the living room or a bed in the bedroom, a play area in the nursery. Moreover, the use of photo wallpaper covering the entire wall is also very appropriate.

Combination options

Combining wallpaper is possible using various methods.

A color scheme

In the interior it is extremely important correct combinations colors. When there are many elements of different shades, it becomes increasingly difficult to combine all the accessories in one room harmoniously. Combining wallpaper involves combining several different colors and even different patterns. For beginners in this business, manufacturers suggest using wallpaper companions. In this case, you definitely can’t go wrong with your choice of shade.

For those who want to try their design skills, there are many tips and tricks.

A simple way is to combine patterned and plain wallpaper. For example, a purely white partner will go well with wallpaper with large peach roses, pink or lilac peonies. This combination is very delicate and soft.

Good for peach prints beige will do, and for pink and lilac – the same color, but several tones lighter.

Beige wallpaper also looks good with other colors. For example, with brown, pistachio, yellow, and in an interior made in nautical style, beige, turquoise or blue are excellent neighbors on the wall.

Combinations of orange and green or orange and light green wallpaper look bright and positive. More formal ensembles for amateurs orange color can be created using gray, chocolate or dark purple companions. Blue and orange color ensembles look oriental.

Dark red or burgundy with rich blue creates a very bold, but truly stylish design. This combination is suitable for large, light-filled spaces.

Light wallpaper with monograms is an element of moderate interiors, suitable for decorating a room in a classic style.

Modern layouts of colored wallpaper are replete with options with stripes. You can combine striped canvases with monochromatic partners, with canvases with ornaments or with photo wallpapers. An alternative to horizontal and vertical stripes is transverse and longitudinal waves.

Selection by material

Proper combination of two types of materials with each other in one room will be possible only if the canvases have identical properties. They should stretch equally and behave similarly during the shrinkage process. This will prevent the seams from coming apart. In an interior where the joint is not decorated with anything, it is better to purchase ready-made double wallpaper companions.

Photo wallpapers are usually paper and thin. The companion is glued to them with an overlap, sometimes the joint is decorated with molding.

Fabric and vinyl wallpapers have an advantage in terms of combination - they are made on a paper (non-stretchy) or non-woven (stretchy) basis. Depending on her, they can go well with any other companions.

Cork wallpaper is gaining popularity. In combination options, they are quite capricious; they do not tolerate paintings made of other materials on the same wall, since they themselves are quite thick. But they can be used to decorate the inside of an architectural niche or one entire wall of the room.

How to combine textures?

Factory wallpaper partners for walls, as a rule, have the same texture. At self-selection the companion must adhere to the same rule. The relief must either completely coincide or be similar. However, the combination of a very relief and textured canvas with a completely smooth wallpaper will look very stylish and modern.

What else to consider?

Combined wallpaper complicate the design of the room, so the choice of furniture and accessories, finishing materials must correspond to the idea, otherwise the room will take on a cluttered, inharmonious appearance.

Curtains attract a lot of attention. It is best if they are neutral white, or the same tone as the wallpaper. If the canvases on the walls are without a pattern, then the curtains can contain any print; if one of the partners has any ornament or image, for example, flowers, then the curtains can repeat the pattern or be plain.

The floor, regardless of whether it is linoleum, parquet or laminate, usually does not have a strong impact on the harmony in the interior, however, if the coating is not of a natural color or artistic view, the wallpaper combination should be neutral, without strong accents, so as not to overload the interior.

There are many options as per the room. You can combine several shades or focus on differences in texture, choose interesting combination ornaments or even opt for patterns from liquid wallpaper.

Don't forget about tile combinations, artificial stone, wood and wallpaper materials. Let's look at all these examples.

How to combine wallpaper

Combining wallpaper is the most popular design technique. Think about what you would like your room to look like after renovation; don’t be afraid to experiment with textures or coating colors. Evaluate the functions and characteristics of the room.

What options for wallpapering can be used in your case, taking into account the height of the walls, the width of the room, and planning elements?

The options proposed below are suitable for almost any standard interior; with problem rooms you will need to experiment, combining several types of alternations at once.

Vertical

So, the “vertical stripes” option. Use of two types of stripes in the interior different color and the textures are quite original way creating an atmosphere and adding dynamics to the room.

You can combine either shades of the same color or use contrasting combinations. A monochrome combination will create the effect of a play of shadows, and contrasts will emphasize the uniqueness and character of the interior.

Horizontal

Dividing into horizons is a fairly common finishing method. It will fit perfectly into any design style, allowing you to alternate absolutely any canvas with different shades and surface textures.

What to alternate – contrasting or monochrome stripes, depends only on you. The main thing is to choose the correct width.

For example, in rooms with high ceilings, experts recommend combining stripes in a ratio of 2:1.

A combination of non-woven and textile wallpaper, rough relief is smoothed out with soft color and pattern.

Interesting options for wallpapering walls can be obtained through the use of additional decorative elements.

The joint location must be determined before gluing the strips and marked with a line that should be parallel to the floor, this will allow the divider to coincide with the level of the furniture.

Horizontal is done from top to bottom, and an overlap is left at the joints, which is cut off only after the canvases have dried and “pulled together.”

Note! The joint can be hidden with a border or a special tape, this will hide possible imperfections and cracks formed during gluing.

Very often the canvases have different widths. The use of polyurethane moldings or wooden slats (depending on the design) will easily solve this problem and diversify the interior with an additional decorative element.

Methods of pasting rooms

• Don't know how to cover the walls in your bedroom? We are offering to you original method- wallpaper inserts. Decor general interior inserts must be carried out on prepared walls.

To begin with, monotonous background canvases of a light shade are glued. Then - pieces of thick massive, for example, non-woven sheets. These inserts can vary in size and shape. Classic style allows the use of rectangular structures, but you can also experiment by pasting the wall with geometric shapes.

• But in the nursery they can be used as inserts vinyl stickers, depicting your favorite cartoon characters.

Also enough original decoration the interior will have liquid wallpaper imitating fabric covering. They are safe, made from natural materials, which allows their use in a children's room.

Combination in the living room will help to divide the room into functional zones, visually separate them from each other, and give meaning to each individual part of the territory.

In the hall you can use a method called " accent wall" So, the wall behind the TV stands out bright shade, sharply contrasting with the background of the room. To enhance the effect above this area, you can make a transition from the wall to the ceiling.

Original design methods

• If you need creative wallpapering, use a patchwork combination. This is a derivative of the design with wallpaper inserts, only now the surfaces of the room are covered with solid inserts, without the use of a background.
• It's reminiscent of an old patchwork quilt or a bird's eye view of fields - either way, the design looks great.
• The main secret of this method is the harmony of materials. You can glue chaotic multi-colored blocks or ordered combinations, express your own fantasies, but the main thing is that all these inserts have something in common - a pattern, ornament or shade.

If your house has a lot of niches, arches and protrusions, whether they were created according to the builder's idea or are inconveniences in the planning of the apartment, all this should be used to create an original interior.

Often, owners simply try to hide such places from prying eyes, but designers recommend highlighting them in every possible way.

In niches and ledges it is usually done with contrasting colors or bright relief fabrics. Do you have light wallpaper? Make a dark niche! Small pattern on the walls - decorate the ledge with wallpaper with a large pattern!

Finally, a few tips:

• Buy wallpaper in one place so that it matches in shades and textures.
• Use canvases of the same width.
• Use combination not only to create visual effects, but also to correct layout deficiencies.

Thoughtful beautiful interior a room is a combination of all its components: walls, ceiling, floor, furniture. Both different textures and colors should be combined.

The most popular wall decoration is wallpapering them.

Modern construction market filled with a wide variety of this material.

But what more types wallpaper presented in the store, the more difficult it is to make a choice.

Today we’ll talk about some basic principles for selecting wallpaper and combining several types of wallpaper in one room.

Manufacturers produce the material in collections that feature wallpaper companions. As a rule, they are united by texture and a certain color scheme. Combined wallpapers from one collection can be plain (two, three or more colors), striped or patterned, where all the same colors are present.

In the catalogs, in addition to the samples themselves, you can see examples of combining wallpaper in various rooms in the form of photographs of interiors. This makes the choice somewhat easier.

But the photographs, as a rule, always show rooms of impressive size, so be careful and careful when purchasing the samples you like.

How to combine wallpaper correctly?

To achieve the most interesting interior design you need to know some rules:

• vertical stripes visually raise the ceiling;
• horizontal stripes “expand” the space, but “lower” the ceiling;
• wallpaper with a large pattern is suitable for large rooms, for example, a living room; in a small room (kitchen or hallway) they will lead to the opposite effect - they will “reduce” the space;
• small pattern - on the contrary, it is suitable for small rooms; in a room with a large wall area it will get lost;
• for small rooms and rooms with insufficient lighting, choose wallpaper light shades, which in turn should be lighter than the floor;
• When covering walls with wallpaper from different collections, take into account their thickness (it should be the same, since the sheets are glued end-to-end);
• When choosing two wallpaper colors for one room, make sure they are compatible (use the color wheel).

If in doubt, seek help from professional designers interiors. If you have skills in working in 3D programs, then build a model of the room in which you are going to do repairs and wallpaper, and experiment with various materials and color compositions.

Options for covering walls with different wallpapers

Dividing the room into zones

Using wallpaper of different colors or patterns, you can divide the room into two or more zones.

For example, highlight a recreation area, work area or play area in the children's room. It is beneficial to highlight the most significant part of the living space.

One stripe, two stripes

You can cover the walls with two types of wallpaper, alternating the canvases with each other. The stripes can be in the same color scheme and differ only in pattern, or create a contrasting alternation of light and dark inserts.

Increasingly found in modern interiors horizontally pasted striped wallpaper, they create dynamics in the room. But don’t get carried away with them, use them fragmentarily, combining them with plain canvases. Remember the visual effect horizontal stripes: expand the space, but lower the ceilings.

Classic is always in fashion

Fans of classic interiors can safely use horizontal division of walls with two types of wallpaper using a border: paper, polyurethane or wood.

If the ceilings in the room are not high enough, then wallpaper of darker shades should be glued from below, and light ones - from above. This will visually stretch the room. For rooms with high ceilings suitable option exactly the opposite.

Niche design

You can decorate niches or protruding parts of plasterboard structures with wallpaper that differs from the color of the main walls of the room.

Using wallpaper of different colors and textures, you can advantageously emphasize the design solution.

Smooth flow

An interesting solution is to wallpaper part of the wall and ceiling, when the strip seems to flow from one surface to another. This method is used to emphasize any part of the room. So in the bedroom you can select the place where the bed should be installed.

This is unusual design solution breaks the geometry of space and is to the taste of many.

Pasting walls and ceilings

It is believed that wallpapering ceilings is no longer fashionable. However, you can use " liquid wallpaper" Using this material, you can decorate both walls and ceilings by choosing compositions of colors that harmonize with each other.

patchwork quilt

Patchwork sewing in the “patchwork” style can be imitated on the walls by pasting them with fragments of wallpaper with different patterns. The first rule is the compatibility of paintings, the second is accuracy and precision. This type of work must be done by qualified craftsmen, but the results are worth it.

IN Lately On sale you can find wallpaper that already imitates a patchwork quilt, but the squares on them are smaller. By creating a composition yourself, you can calculate the report required for your room and select suitable rolls of wallpaper.

From simple to complex

It would seem that there is nothing difficult in hanging wallpaper, even if it is of two colors. However, with the help regular wallpaper you can create complex compositions with smooth joints.

To do this you will need a knife with a very sharp blade. The overlapped sheets are cut according to the template, the edges are moved apart, the excess is removed and glued end-to-end again. The work is quite labor-intensive.

Aerobatics

To create individual premium interiors, architects and designers advise purchasing designer wallpaper. Or order them individually, offering your own design that is acceptable in the interior being created.

No less interesting solution is a combination of ordinary roll materials with photo wallpaper. Thus, the rooms acquire additional depth.

It is important to remember that when gluing two different types of wallpaper end-to-end, their thickness should be the same. If the selected samples differ in thickness, then the joints can be decorated with molding, as if framing the picture with a frame. This wall design can be found in classic interiors.

Experiment, look for your own image, don’t be afraid of bright or dark colors. But stick to the rules established by practice.
