Correct combination of wallpaper in the interior

Combining wallpaper is a fairly new design trend. It allows you to come up with a completely new design and create a unique interior of the room, to realize the wildest fantasies of both designers and ordinary people. Almost everyone can combine wallpaper, because wallpapering is not the most difficult process that you can do yourself.

Now many manufacturers are starting to create their own variations on the theme of different wallpapers in the same room. Special kits and collections are being created. However, the buyer often has his own view of the design of his apartment, everyone wants an experiment. Many people combine wallpaper not only with other wallpapers, but also with tiles or photo wallpaper.

When you want to create a special composition using different types of wallpaper, you need to know about the main methods of combination:

• Horizontal combination. In apartments or private houses, they prefer to abandon such an experiment. This usually evokes associations with a hospital or an entrance. However, with a correctly chosen practical goal of such a design, it is possible to achieve a play of shades, which makes it possible to achieve comfort and coziness. One of the main principles when using horizontal color interleaving is to have a certain structure that can be easily seen and captured. This option does not tolerate randomness;

• Vertical combination. The combination of vertical stripes of different textures and colors gives an additional effect of high ceilings. Often this combination is used when dividing a room into zones. With this variant of combinations, two directions stand out: a combination of wallpaper of the same color, but different shades, or diametrically opposite colors are used. The first option evokes calmness and comfort, the second is close to austere style;

• Patchwork combination. Pieces of wallpaper as components merge into a single panel of the general style. There are two basic principles when using this method of decorating a room: a combination of shades of the same color, or the pieces are completely diverse, but united by a common theme or idea. You can glue both overlap and end-to-end;

• Wallpaper inserts. Usually murals or a huge piece of a separate canvas serve as inserts to highlight a certain area. Most often, a wall is used as a basis, either with wallpaper for painting, or simply painted. Technically, this method is the simplest, but you need to accurately determine the style and the desired result. Often, such inserts are decorated with strips or just a frame;
• Create an accent wall. One wall is made bright, while the rest are made in more pastel colors.

There are several factors that confirm the need for this method of decorating a room:

• allocation of zones in one room;
• the ability to hide the flaws of the room;
• highlighting the features of the room;

• creating an emphasis on a specific wall;
• visual effect of enlarging the room;
• focal point creation;
• the ability to create a bedroom design according to the exact desires of the owner.

You can also highlight the basic rules when combining wallpaper:

• the wall cloth must be strictly of the same thickness;
• it is advisable to choose wallpaper of the same width;
• it is desirable that all wallpapers are made of the same material;

• bright colors must be combined with neutral shades;
• a combination of up to five shades of the same color is possible in the room;
• it is necessary to check the color compatibility in daylight;
• it is undesirable to use three or more different ornaments in one room;
• if there is a wall on which the accent is created, it must be perfectly aligned.

There are a huge number of color combinations, as well as certain standards that will help you create it correctly for certain tastes.

Combination methods:

• Simple. The two shades complement each other;
• Complicated. Two colors that are different from each other;
• Extraordinary. Three or more shades.

The designers have developed a color wheel. It is divided into sectors, where each sector is a certain shade. If you want to create a soft atmosphere, you need to select those shades that are located next to the color wheel. An example is the combination of yellow and yellow-green colors.

For active people and lovers of experimentation, it is better to create a bright interior. The main feature of such an interior is contrast. To obtain this result, it is customary to choose colors that are opposite each other on the wheel. An example would be combinations such as yellow and blue or green and red.

There is a huge number of paired wallpapers that can already be sold in sets, or chosen by the buyer. For example, a combination of black and white. When combining such colors, it must be remembered that one of the colors must take up. More white than black is desirable.

Attempts are often made to combine only dark tones. This is quite difficult, because if the combination is incorrectly selected, the room will be depressing and will not create the necessary atmosphere. A good option would be a combination of brown with green or red. Do not forget about black, which can be used as a color for wallpaper patterns.

Often, with a certain layout of wallpaper, you can find such a combination as lining below and dark wallpaper on top. This will give the apartment the effect of being in a wooden house. This style is most suitable for conservative people.

Also, the field for activity can be gray. It has a huge number of shades, and it is the play of shades that can create, indeed, a unique futuristic room design.

To create a more cozy atmosphere, it is better to choose a combination of warm colors and shades. However, it is worth remembering that warm colors make the room visually narrower. For brave people, a combination of different shades of red is a great option. If burgundy is dark for you, then it is better to choose pink wallpaper. You should not choose bright red wallpapers - they will put a lot of pressure on your eyes and quickly get bored. Purple will go well with pink.

Also often used is orange, which is recognized as the warmest color of all. It goes well with brown and caramel shades. Orange can create a warm atmosphere in any room. But there should not be a lot of it, so that the eyes do not get tired.

Horizontal combination looks great in any room. In the lower part, canvases with a large-textured pattern are usually glued, in a vertical strip, on top - wallpaper with flowers or in a small pattern. Different types of wallpaper can be combined with a border. As it, you can use the third type of wallpaper, molding, ceiling plinth or rail.

It is often difficult to decide on the exact color that you want to see in the room. Each color carries a certain load, so when choosing colors, you need to know what the primary colors mean. Primary colors are most often used for companion wallpapers:

• Green. A color that leads to relaxation, creates a feeling of unity with nature. Best used in a dining room where the whole family gathers;

• Blue. A color that means solidity, therefore it is most often used when decorating a workplace or office. In addition, blue shades create an atmosphere of calm and measuredness;
• Yellow. A vibrant color associated with joy and something new. It is preferable to use it in the hall;
• White. The most versatile color, because it can be combined with absolutely any color.

When choosing color combinations for decorating a room, you must remember the stylistic features of each of the areas:

• minimalism - monochrome combinations;
• pop art - contrast of active color with white or gray;
• baroque and classic - a combination of dark marsh and golden shades;

• modern - light green and burgundy;
• country - imitation of natural materials and colors;
• avant-garde - contrasting plain wallpaper;
• modern style - bright yellow and aqua.

It should also be remembered that many decor elements will emphasize the correct choice of wallpaper combination:

• textile;
• statues;
• furniture;
• photo frames;
• paintings on the walls.

The color of the wallpaper should show the advantages of the room, and not highlight its disadvantages. Therefore, for a small room there should be a combination of light colors. For a large room, on the contrary, dark shades are used. You cannot combine two bright colors. If you want to use them together in the same room, you need to make transitions or dilute the walls with interior details. The combination of bright colors is always unusual.

It is also necessary to remember that a niche in rooms can also be distinguished into a separate zone using wallpaper. If this area is working, then it can be accentuated with blue wallpaper. If this space is not planned as a separate area, then wallpaper of the same color, but in a different shade, can be pasted there.

There are a huge number of options that will be interesting to everyone. You can also highlight ideas for decorating each individual room.

It is better not to use black and white in the living room. Dark wallpapers will create an atmosphere of gloom, and light ones will quickly stain. Burgundy or blue in combination with calm shades are best suited.

In the bedroom, the main thing is to create coziness, so there are no special rules. It is advisable to use two calm, close tones.

The choice of wallpaper for a nursery is one of the most difficult. Bright colors should not be used to avoid overexcitation. The use of abstract drawings is undesirable. Most often, children are decorated with white, blue and pink. Sometimes one wall is made bright using wallpaper with images of fairy-tale characters or with ornaments.
