Varieties and features of the choice of photo wallpaper for a teenager
More and more often today, photowall-paper is used in the decoration of the walls of a teenager's room. If earlier there was a prejudiced attitude towards them due to by no means the best quality and quick fading, today they are a means of self-expression. This is a tool through which you can point out the interests of the child, beating the technique of zoning his personal space. However, in order to choose the right wallpaper, it is worth considering a number of factors.
Features and functionality
Today, photomurals are made from different raw materials, which allows you to get canvases with a variety of textures and variability of service life. The murals themselves are not the basis for the background wall covering, regardless of their size. This is an accent that allows you to designate a particular area of any room. Such coatings are used in different places in the teenage room:
- on the wall in the sleeping area;
- in the area of the workspace;
- to play around with the flaws in the layout (protrusions or niches);
- to highlight a place of rest;
- to accentuate the sports corner;
- on the front door.
The use of such products contributes to the introduction of an unobtrusive organization into the space. In addition, photomurals allow you to fill a teenager's bedroom with the desired mood, they indicate the idea of stylistics, being a bright spot of the interior. And if you consider that their subject matter is extensive, this allows you to decorate the walls of the nursery with canvases not only of the poster type, but also plots, and even comics. However, photowall-paper is characterized by its own specifics. For example, in order for them to look appropriate in a particular interior, their drawing must correspond to the age of the teenager.
Depending on the type of material, wallpaper can have a different size. This allows them to decorate most of the accent zone with them, to decorate the desired area of space with a small panel. This feature is convenient for pasting, because the desired pattern and size of the panels can be selected as accurately as possible with the dimensions for the accent zone of the teenage room. There is another plus in the variability of dimensions: this contributes to the correct location of the photo printing on the walls without visual skewing of the space.
Materials (edit)
If earlier the wallpaper was exclusively made of paper, today its structure is more diverse. For example, in addition to paper, you can find vinyl counterparts on a paper backing on store shelves. These products are characterized by a variety of textures, they perfectly fit into the interior of different rooms. In addition to the smooth surface texture, they can imitate the texture of canvas, linen, sand and even plaster.
A drawing made against such a background will look especially. If such products seem expensive, you can decorate the teenager's room with wallpaper made of paper with a protective coating. From two types of texture, you can choose matte or glossy lamination. Coatings with anti-marker protection are distinguished not only by the brightness of the shades, but also by their practicality. They are convenient for decorating the work and play area, since they do not allow random patterns on the canvases.
One of the best photowall-paper is non-woven. Unlike vinyl, they are more environmentally friendly, since they do not emit toxic substances into the air. In addition, they are durable and can decorate the walls of a nursery for a long time.Such wallpapers are distinguished by a rich color gamut and purity of shades, they are simpler than other options in pasting, they stand out for their strength, slight elasticity.
A special line includes photo wallpaper for the door, made of self-adhesive film (PVC-based). These panels have a layer of protective lamination. Their advantage is the ability to imitate different types of textures. There are also drawbacks to such wallpapers: in addition to a perfectly flat surface, they are difficult to paste and do not provide for adjustments. If the fragment cannot be glued perfectly the first time, its aesthetics will be noticeably impaired.
Colors
The choice of a certain color scheme when choosing a photo wallpaper for a teenage room, in addition to the age of the child, depends on his gender. For example, if in the younger age category of girls, preference is given to pink and lilac tones, then at the age of 12-14 years, the priorities of girls can radically change. Many of them like color combinations that compete with each other (for example, white with pink and black, blue with coral). Despite the different emotional perception of colors, sometimes such contrasts look, albeit unusual, but quite appropriate.
Mixes of blue and terracotta, olive and brown, mint and peach look unusual. Some girls are fond of shades of the pastel group, others, on the contrary, want cold and calm colors. The only thing that you should not choose is neutral photo wallpaper, which, in addition to white, gray and black colors, does not have color inserts. Such coatings are devoid of emotional coloring, which is undesirable in the interior of a teenager's bedroom.
The way adolescent boys express themselves is sometimes more creative. For example, graffiti-themed wallpapers stand out with a riot of colors. In one such pattern, pink can be combined with blue, green, orange, black and yellow. Such a design is creative, it is quite bright, although it has its own characteristics that must be taken into account so that the wallpaper does not annoy the child.
Options in pink, lilac, purple and peach are not suitable for decorating the rooms of teenage boys. Guys give preference to photowall-paper in beige, gray, blue, blue, gray-green shades. Since adolescence is associated with the formation of hormonal levels, it is better to choose calm tones, avoiding aggressive colors. It is scientifically proven that it is these colors of the color palette that contribute to the calmness and focus of teenagers.
There should not be any abundance of black and gloomy colors in the drawing of photo wallpapers purchased to decorate a nursery. They are able to negatively affect the mood and behavior of children, create emotional stress and depress the psyche. In addition, the gloomy colors visually diminish the teenager's already small space. Light colors should prevail in the print of coatings, while dark ones are good in small quantities to highlight light spots.
Designs and styles
The theme of wallpaper pictures for the walls of a teenage bedroom can be very diverse. For example, for girls 12-14 years old, these are often glamor sketches, silhouette options, coatings with glamorous cats, stars, inscriptions. At the age of 15, girls want a more adult design, since the perception of the world is changing, preferences and hobbies are changing. Design ideas can be the most unusual: from sketches of architectural places in London and Paris to photos of the city at night.
By the way, 15-16-year-olds also like urban themes. However, photo printing is often more realistic for them. Often it lacks stylization: it is mainly a high quality photo, often with a volumetric effect. These wallpapers are notable for their ability to visually increase the space. Wall murals with a painted print on the basis of a brickwork look cool on the walls.
For an earlier age (12-14 years old), you can pick up options with a football theme.For example, it can be a canvas with a view of a football field, which will look harmoniously on the wall of the sleeping area. If you support the football theme with a small ball-shaped carpet, this design will appeal to a teenager who is fond of football. Guys who are fond of sports will love coverings with silhouettes or portraits of their idols.
Speaking of style, one cannot fail to mention that it is she who determines the type and type of coatings with photo printing. For example, the classic bedroom of a girl allows the use of an accent under the picture. For example, my own portrait, made on a paper basis with canvas imitation. The classic style is not suitable for the bedrooms of young men: they feel more comfortable when one of the modern trends is chosen as the basis for the design.
Minimalism is a great solution. Wall murals with the image of the city look gorgeous in a modern style. In this case, the print must be realistic. Japanese anime girls will love the bright accents in the sleeping area featuring characters from their favorite manga. These wallpapers look catchy and impressive.
Photo printing in eco-style is also original. So, you can pick up a drawing of trees or a small sketch of a stylized tree without leaves. Someone prefers to decorate the walls with photo wallpaper posters. A lot of girls today are addicted to Korean culture, decorating the walls of their rooms with photo prints of their favorite idols. As a rule, such a design is appropriate for modern stylistics (including modernity with its craving for the demonstration of elegance and hi-tech).
Selection criteria
To simplify the choice of photo wallpaper for the walls of a teenage room, you should arm yourself with simple recommendations from specialists.
- Don't complicate the walls of your teens with wallpaper that doesn't match their age. What's good for high school graduates may not always work for 12, 13, and 14 year olds.
- Of all the varieties, if possible, give preference to non-woven options.
- Don't go for too thin and cheap paper wallpapers. They are difficult to glue, over time they can turn blue or green and thereby spoil the entire appearance of the walls.
- Pay attention to the size of the print: you should not take options with a huge pattern in a small room, it depresses the child, making him feel insignificant.
- Do not fill all the walls with photo wallpaper: there should be one accent, otherwise it may lose its expressiveness.
- Buy coverings along with wallpaper: this will allow you to harmoniously match the colors of wallpaper and photo printing, so that the wall decoration looks holistic against the general background.
- Consider the child's opinion by taking him with you to the store: this will create a comfortable environment in his room.
- Choose the colors taking into account the sides that the windows face (for example, cold tones will look even darker when the nursery window faces the north side).
- When choosing a theme for a photo wallpaper, consider not only the shape of the furniture and the design of the ceiling decoration. Look also at the shape of the lighting fixtures. Often they are the ones who suggest what will look harmonious in a given room.
- Do not take the first thing that comes across: move away from the option you like for a few minutes, look at something else. Often, a second glance will create a different impression of the coating pattern.
