Wallpaper with geometric motifs

The beginning of decorative repair is always associated with the choice of material for wall decoration. Wallpaper is a familiar and one of the most favorite ways to make your home cozy and attractive. Good wallpapers hide the unevenness of the walls, are easy to clean, and also do not require the master to be a high-class professional in order to paste. Stylish canvases with geometric prints are increasingly decorating the rooms of houses and apartments.

Geometry is always lively and dynamic. Such wallpapers are chosen by modern people with an active lifestyle. Let romantic monograms and flowers remain for dreamy persons. But even these diametrically opposed prints have a lot in common. Despite the fact that geometric motifs do not carry a semantic load and, at first glance, are very simple and laconic, with large doses, the eyes from such a pattern can get tired and even a feeling of irritation can appear.

The ideal option is to dilute the rich geometry with a solid color companion. Undoubtedly, there are such canvases with which it is permissible to paste over the entire room. They are distinguished by the moderation of colors, closeness to the classical canons of wall decoration (dim cells, stripes).

A more active print can be used without a companion in small spaces, for example, in the corridor, in the bathroom or toilet, in the dressing room or in the lobby of a country house. Thanks to some techniques, wallpaper with a geometric pattern can visually transform a room. For example, canvases with vertical stripes raise the ceiling, making the room taller, and horizontal elements (stripes or zigzag) expand the space.

A contrasting print attracts attention, visually brings the wall on which it is placed, so a rectangular room can be transformed by sensations into a more square-shaped room. A large drawing always makes the room smaller than it really is. For small spaces, choose a pattern with small details.

Often on the pages of glossy magazines about the world of interior design there are rooms covered with chevron wallpaper or in a simplified version - Zigzag and herringbone... This print is appropriate in any room of the house and is very popular. In the living room it can be a monochrome pattern in black and white, in the bedroom it can be a print of pastel cream, beige, and in the nursery it can consist of bright, juicy shades.

Designers love this pattern because the "zigzag" is able to "break" the space. For example, pasting a room with wallpaper with a large chevron, the protrusions on the wall become almost invisible and merge, forming a flat surface. Of course, an active "zigzag" should be balanced with either a solid color companion or other wall decoration material. Sometimes designers allow themselves combinations with striped wallpaper, but without extensive knowledge in this area, it is better not to take risks.

Rhombuses are just starting to catch on.

Execution can be different:

• straight, thin lines forming bright multi-colored rhombuses - a great option for a nursery or an eclectic interior;
• options where one color is involved, but in a different tonal range, are suitable for high-tech or minimalist interiors;
• pastel combinations of rhombuses are ideal for adherents of the classics.

Another option for decorating an apartment in a classic style is wallpaper with tartan pattern... Such interiors can be seen in houses of the Victorian era. A small cage in deep red or green tones perfectly combines with an abundance of wooden elements - wall panels or furniture attributes.

Vertical stripes pastel shades with silkscreen effect look stylish and luxurious at the same time. This design has an important advantage - striped walls attract attention, but not annoying. These wallpapers look great in a classic living room and study.

It is important to choose the right stripe width:

• very thin options may not be visible, merge, but at the same time look light and airy;
• wallpaper with wider stripes is better to choose the least contrasting colors, otherwise they will quickly begin to irritate;
• wide horizontal stripes are perfect for nurseries and bedrooms. Such a drawing is able to calm and tune in to rest;
• unequal stripes look good both in horizontal and vertical design, bring creativity and variety to the interior.

Look very noble canvases with a four-leaf pattern... This print is very popular not only in America, but also in Russia. Many users know it and do not like to use it as radically as in decorating walls. This pattern is almost universal. The choice of color depends on the style in which the interior should be designed further.

If these are pastel and deep colors, the pattern will go well with the classic group of styles, and bright and pure shades (blue, yellow, orange) can support the oriental theme in the interior.

Geometric meander ornament is a continuous polyline. This pattern is very active and should be used with caution and in small quantities. As a rule, its purpose in decorating walls is to decorate the joints between two types of combined wallpaper. In this case, it acts as a bright and contrasting element. However, there are also whole canvases with a "meander" pattern.

Looks a little naive on the walls polka dot print... This pattern is best suited for a nursery or a young girl's room.

Due to the fact that this drawing is really very simple, it can easily be pasted over throughout the room or harmoniously coexist with almost any other geometry, kept in a similar color scheme. Larger circle options can be hung in the living room or bedroom.

3D wallpaper Is an unusual way of decorating walls, which is just beginning to appear in the interiors of apartments and houses. The use of such canvases is very difficult because the effect is visible only in large rooms and only at a certain distance. Close up, the effect dissolves and the coating is no different from ordinary photowall-paper. But there are a lot of fantasy drawings: volumetric cubes, hexagons, rectangles, volumetric imitation of brickwork, balls floating in the air and many other options.

The interior is always a combination of all the attributes of furniture and finishes, made in one stylistic idea. Geometry is often quite a contrasting and aggressive basis for a room. If in the living room this model can be supported, add furniture with straight lines, pick up a chandelier with metal elements, then in the bedroom it is better to soften the atmosphere by complementing it with textile attributes and more curved shapes.

Often in interiors, black and white colors are used for geometric wallpapers. Often the classic combination looks modern and dynamic.

Mixing different ornaments on curtains, furniture upholstery and walls is not worth it. Better to be limited to one element containing geometry. However, in some cases, for example, when there are stripes on the walls, geometric patterns perfectly coexist with the floral print on the curtains. The main thing is to keep all the elements in the same color scheme.

Wide stripes or chevron, made in pastel colors, can coexist with furniture draped with a four-leafed fabric or curtains with a meander motif. Such combinations are often found in classic American homes. In order not to be mistaken, choose plain textiles to match the wallpaper.

3D wallpapers allow you to feel the incredible dynamics of immersion in another space. The print with stripes twisting into a spiral-shaped tunnel is very strong and contrasting. Such an experiment may seem interesting and mysterious, but it should be borne in mind that such a pattern will remain with you on the walls of your apartment for a long time.

A large chevron in the bedroom in pastel colors is diluted with a soft textile headboard and curved decorative elements at the bedside tables. Thanks to this, the sharp corners of the "zigzag" wall do not seem so aggressive.

Bright rhombuses will look most appropriate as an active accent on the wall. The area behind the sofa is the best arrangement of variegated canvases, since when watching TV or relaxing, you will have a quieter space in front of you.

Geometric prints don't have to be small, repeating patterns. Sometimes geometry is one large accent drawing.

If the room has niches, protruding elements or columns, they can be highlighted with wallpaper with geometry. Experimenting with the combination is allowed in one color scheme.
