Black wallpaper in the interior of rooms

When choosing a wall covering material, you may find that black wallpaper is perfect for the design of your room. Decorating walls in dark colors has advantages: against such a background, any interior details look more impressive, dirt and scratches are not so noticeable.

However, this color has its effect on the psyche, such wallpapers are a non-standard choice, because you can oversaturate the room with gloomy decor, making it look like a Frankenstein castle. We will talk about how to avoid this by “tasty” combining the graphite scale with bright colors, and to make the design lively, fashionable and atmospheric.

The peculiarities of coatings in a dark palette are that they do not always bring joy to the occupant of the room, so this shade is suitable either in combination with other bright colors or for an introvert who loves such a scale.

It is also a great way to highlight accents. A room with a good decor in a gloomy range can leave a strong impression if the inhabitant has placed pieces of his soul in it: images, books, sculpture. However, indoors it will be quite difficult to concentrate for work, it is better to relax or create here.

By type, wall coverings, like all others, are:

• paper is a surface of several layers of paper;
• non-woven - cellulose fiber coating;
• vinyl is a paper or non-woven base covered with vinyl;
• self-adhesive - film with an adhesive layer;
• textile - an expensive material with a fabric surface.

Of course, it is always better to choose dense synthetic wallpaper, because they are durable and can be wiped clean. Vinyl can be smooth and textured, patterns look beautiful on silk-screen surfaces.

Any pattern on dark wallpaper will look especially clear. We offer a list of ideas for combining various wallpaper patterns with the design of the room:

• Black and red the wallpaper is covered with images such as abstraction with circles, roses, red stripes. The strip will suit the idea of ​​the theme of fruits, berries and flowers. Hang a picture with delicious fruits against the background of the strip. A great solution for a dining room. The abundance of red in the interior can look annoying, so it is better not to choose red curtains or bedspreads against the graphite-red wall, just one scarlet spot is enough, for example, a lamp shade or a shelf, and the floor covering should be light pink, brown, gray.

• Black and blue ornamented coverings can be used in the implementation of the ideas of the sea dawn theme. It is against such a background that pink and purple accents can be placed, for example, decor.

• Black-purple wallpaper is a great solution for decorating a room in the style of a pansy flower. You can play very nicely with the theme of the plant using a photo wallpaper with yellow flowers.An interior in a classic style can look aristocratic with sconces with shades in the shape of a cylinder and a wall on which a black and lilac wallpaper with a pattern is glued. Silver and gray for the floor go to the purple shade.

For an interior in shades of purple, a painting depicting purple-black roses is best suited. This solution is not difficult or expensive. After all, now you can print wallpaper with any chosen picture for only 500-600 rubles per 1 sq. m.

• Coating black and golden color look luxurious in combination with parquet-like laminate and rectangular LED lamps. Such a modest interior can be very cheap, but gold on black will make it expensive.

Choose furniture carefully, because wallpaper with a pattern of blackened gold is one of the decorations of European palaces, tasteless furniture will be very noticeable. If you are unable to order an antique-style upholstered chair, it is best to get rid of any old furniture. After the walls, floors, door, chandeliers are selected, hang the curtains. And already, seeing the style of the room, proceed to the choice of furniture, hiring a designer in this case will help you save money, because the master will help you find furniture according to your budget that will not spoil the style.

• Black-green prints are found in the collection of vintage wallpapers, green with dark gray spots and yellow tint. Interesting patterns with emerald and yellow prints will be useful for design solutions with aged furniture in country style.
• Black and blue wallpaper is one of the style solutions of the neoclassicism format. The entire interior should be light and airy: white or blue floors, furniture to match. Ink patterns on a blue background will be a great frame for light large objects, for example, a vase, a floor lamp.

• Black and turquoise wall coverings will be a good decoration for a room in a turquoise style that is fashionable today. In this format, commercial premises for organizing parties and living rooms are designed. Images - small flower ornaments, stripes.

• Black-orange embossed wallpapers can be found in the elite collections of the German manufacturer A. S. Creation. But even printing your own custom-made wallpaper will cost you less. Orange is an advantageous solution for the kitchen or living room, because it increases appetite. Therefore, you can paste orange wallpaper on the walls and print your own black and orange lily wallpaper on your order. It will look very stylish.

• Black and pink wallpaper - a characteristic feature of the fusion direction, which allows you to clutter up the room with things and combine things of different styles. Such wallpapers are suitable if the furniture in the room is of different colors and collections. Characteristic prints - pink flowers and stripes.
• Light with black pattern wallpaper is selected for rooms in white tones. Remember that a patterned wall should be combined with a clear geometry, so the baseboard should be in tune with the wall covering, furniture should be made of geometric shapes, shapeless sofas will not work. Eco-leather can be used as upholstery.

• Black-beige wallpaper with monograms does not look the best, of course, such drawings are on sale, but they are no longer in vogue. A more modern option is a mat imitation wall covering. It is perfect for a Chinese style interior. The pattern is not striking and is an excellent background for flowers and paintings, goes well with the silver of the lamps. With a silvery sheen, there can be the material of curtains and sofa upholstery.

• Pure black wallpaper Is a non-standard solution for any interior. After all, psychologists do not consider color useful for the psyche. Nevertheless, such wallpaper, coupled with dark heavy curtains, will help to darken the room qualitatively, for some it may seem like a good condition for good sleep and relaxation. Plus, the solid color dark wallpaper is a great backdrop for any art gallery, commercial or private.
• Black wallpaper for walls with lettering - the solution is original, but this option is fraught with overload. This decor will look with bright accents and a minimum of black furniture.

Of course, you can combine shades as you like, but if you want a room to be created in good taste, then the choice of colors must be justified. The black color on the walls cannot be accidental, it is determined by the palette of the room. The palette is compiled from the image. Accordingly, the second shade of the wallpaper will also be part of the palette.

Here the color of the floor "asks" for brown, and for the wall, a drawing is better suited, which can be of different shades. Learning how to choose the right one.

The light color should create air. And the walls are the base and the frame. Therefore, a light color on the walls can create formlessness, this is what all Soviet interiors "sin" about. Blatant bad taste occurs when a wall is boring in color or with a boring pattern. That is, in this case, do not take the gray-blue wallpaper, they will greatly simplify the interior.

Of course, the designer should distribute the colors of the palette, but if you are a designer yourself, then take an expressive ink-orange pattern for the wall. A sconce lamp can be blue; blue pillows on a blue bedspread will also look great on this palette.

Since two-color wallpaper with a pattern is a rich decor of the room, in order to relieve perception, they can be glued to one of the walls. Accordingly, the best option would be a combination with one-color wallpaper.

The combination of a patterned finish, for example, inky blue with dark graphite wallpaper, makes the interior more dramatic, therefore, such a room is more suitable as an outdoor activity room. Maybe it will be a reception room. If you make the main color of the walls blue, then such an interior is suitable for a teenager's room, and a patterned wall is suitable for decorating a desk, and diplomas can also be placed in frames on the wall with an ornament.

If you are new to design, then remember that combined wallpapers should be of only two types, and the second wallpaper should combine one of the colors of the first. And that's all, this will be enough. It is very simple and effective, any complications will help you waste your money and ruin the interior.

One of the most profitable options for self-design can be the selection of a palette for a room using photo wallpaper. When wallpaper is combined in color with photo wallpaper, it creates a special atmosphere of the room, it becomes one-piece. Therefore, the wallpaper can contain night landscapes.

Suitable image options:

• rock on the beach;
• tree trunk;
• night city;
• coffee with chocolate.

It is easy to combine wall coverings under the ceiling plinth. The main rule is that the plinth exactly matches the shade of the door.

If the subtleties of the combination of various interior details are important to you, then you will appreciate how to choose the elements according to the texture. Make sure that the furniture "rhymes" with the covering material.

Various textures are achieved both with the help of a special surface treatment and with the help of a visual effect:

• Glossy surfaces are obtained by using a self-adhesive film.
• Matte finishes can be found in the German collections of the Marburg company, which are created from vinyl on non-woven fabric.
• You can find coverings under the skin in black tones, with imitation of the skin of reptiles, for example, a crocodile.

• Velvet wall surfaces can be made with the velvet-look textile collections.
• The illusion of brickwork is achieved by applying a pattern to the paper layer, a well-drawn black brick is just an image, a great choice for a loft interior.
• Wallpaper "under a stone" is also a photo wallpaper on a paper basis.

Purely theoretically, the room can be decorated in any style, however, some colors are still characteristic of a certain direction:

• Largest space to create deep ink shades creates style Art Deco... The combination here proceeds according to the principle of contrast; for art deco, the monochromatic matte color of the walls with square pictures in frames and with mirrors on their background is the most appropriate.
• Classics and neoclassics traditionally not performed in dark colors, with the exception of the blackened gold pattern for the classics and the patterns on a white background for the neoclassical.

• For minimalism characteristic shades are white and gray, the meaning of minimalism is utility and practicality. In addition, it is customary to make the entire interior in one color. Is a dark room practical in terms of minimalism? It needs to be lit more, all objects will merge, this does not correspond to the aesthetics of minimalism.

• Dark tones are characteristic for gothic, here complex patterns in the form of monograms are permissible, it is worth complementing the interior with stained-glass windows, columns, an ornate cast-iron bed. Wall covering can be fancifully combined in this format: imitation of stone and openwork pattern. This will create the illusion of a tapestry in a medieval castle.
• A characteristic feature of the interior rococo There are silver and gold details, so wall coverings with gold or silver motifs are fine.

Wallpaper in dark colors can be entered into any room, the main thing is to know how to combine them. For example, in the bedroom, the color will not be too gloomy if you choose a two-tone coating and combine it with photo wallpaper that matches the colors. Dark, imitation brickwork surfaces will look great in the hallway, they will be complemented by large hemispherical lamps.

In the living room, dark tones can be beautifully mixed in several variations: a coffee and dark chocolate theme, a gallery theme. After all, the living room is a room where guests should be interested; statuettes, mirrors, dishes, books and paintings look especially good on a matte black background. Therefore, if you have something to exhibit, then use stylish wallpaper under the cover.

Let's highlight the basic principles that will help you accurately choose a wall covering:

• Choose a color from the palette.
• The texture should match the furniture.
• For art deco and modern style - plain surfaces, for old styles - patterns.
• We combine two-color wallpapers with one-color ones.

If pictures with an abundance of small details, then hang them on a plain background, if the surface is patterned, then the picture should be pastel. In addition, the sconce next to the painting is a great move, it can be cheap, no one will notice its simplicity, carried away by the work of art and rejoicing that you can turn on the lamp and look at the image or the bookshelf from the other side.

In a small room, you can use the following effect: stick dark wallpaper with a pattern on only two walls, and paste over the other two with bright colors or one with photo wallpaper. Please note that if there is a mirror wall in the girl's bedroom, then it is wrong to place it opposite the gloomy wall, something bright and patterned should be reflected in the mirror.

• Note that matching rectangular shelves look great on patterned backgrounds, the matte wall surface matches the surface of the loft lamp. For a neoclassical effect, place white objects against a patterned background.
• Notice what contours arise due to the arrangement of scarlet flowers against a black background, the wall acquires richness, texture and passion, the room does not blur, in daylight it seems that there is an overload of bright colors, but this is a thoughtful effect. In the evening, the bedroom will look exciting.

• A variant of combining patterns, stripes and monochrome. It is not clear from a distance: either the wall is painted, or it is covered with even vinyl. An interesting idea: the pattern on the entire wall is combined with a border on the other.
• An example of how one wall is used as a background for a painting to draw attention to it.

• The ash-graphite surface in combination with beige looks extremely beneficial due to the successful combination. Harmoniously matched colors (lilac, gray, dark blue) create the mood of the room.
• The white covering with a pattern served as an excellent background for a white sofa and a silver lamp, you can see how beneficial an abstract painting looks on the pattern.

• If in the interior of the apartment there are many small objects placed along the walls, then placing them against the background of the mat will be a profitable move, there will be no cluttering effect.
• The strip with a silvery sheen is in perfect harmony with the material of the sofa and the metal of the table and lamp, resulting in an art deco effect.
• The "Khrushchev" hallway can look stylish and modern thanks to the combination of two simple patterns and two simple colors, a modest cabinet and a mirrored wall.

• You can use absolute black decor only if you are sure that you can fill the room with original bright objects of various shapes located along the perimeter of the walls. This is necessary so that the room does not become shapeless. You can pay attention to how many paintings are on the wall, and on the other side there is a cabinet with exquisite dishes.

An interior in dark colors is a bold decision, it must be justified. However, this is a great opportunity to draw guests' attention to the things you want to show. These can be works of art, pieces of furniture, or a pattern on a wall surface. Hiding the unevenness of the surface, the black color highlights the interior of the apartment.
