White wallpaper in the interior

Wallpaper is the most used material for wall decoration. Given the popularity of classic tones, white wallpapers are often used based on different styles. This decor element is capable of performing several tasks at once. The first and main function is to decorate walls and ceilings (when it comes to ceiling options).

Specialists in the field of interior decoration have compiled a number of advantages of using white wallpaper in the interior:

• From a psychological point of view, color has a positive effect on the emotional state. Spending time in a room with white walls can help release tension, relieve stress, and tune in to positive thoughts.
• Light colors create a light, airy, light and fresh atmosphere in the room. In addition, they visually increase the volume of the room. This advantage will be especially useful in compact apartments.

• White will complement absolutely any color, regardless of its saturation and temperature. For this, designers fell in love with white wallpaper.

Despite a large number of advantages, this finish option also has its drawbacks:

• The first disadvantage of choosing a snow-white wallpaper is that they get dirty faster than other color options. It's no secret that stains and various contaminants are much more noticeable on a light background than on a bright or dark canvas.
• In order not to oversaturate the room with light, use white trim in the southern rooms of the house with caution. Balance the interior with dark items if necessary. Otherwise, the brightness will strain the eyes and negatively affect the psychological state of a person.
• Wallpaper in white has a reflective effect. Thus, if you put a gray sofa against their background, a shadow spot appeared on the canvas. The feeling of stained, aged wallpaper will be created.

All commercially available white wallpapers differ in texture, material and other parameters. Consider the types of this finishing material and their characteristic features.

This type is the most widespread and widely used since it appeared on the domestic market. This type of wallpaper has an affordable price, which has played an important role in the popularity of the product.

In turn, paper products are divided into the following subspecies:

• Duplex. Double wallpaper created by pressing two layers of paper. One of them acts as a base, and the second is decorative. Their main advantage is resistance to light.
• Photo wallpaper. Finishing of this type was at its peak of popularity 10-15 years ago, but now their former glory is returning to them. If earlier still lifes, landscapes and other elements were depicted on the canvas, now products are often decorated with images of natural materials and abstraction.

Furnishings experts say the look has been gaining popularity in the past few years. They are made from two layers. Used paper and non-woven. Customers can choose from glossy and matte finishes.

Products made from a special composition of minerals. The raw materials are carefully processed before use.

In terms of structure, this is not a canvas, but a mixture based on natural ingredients with the addition of glue. After application, the white liquid wallpaper hardens, decorating the wall with a textured and stylish finish.
