Furniture has been purchased. Choosing wallpaper

Where to begin? Decide on a color. Despite its apparent simplicity, this task is not an easy one. You can understand how to select by answering three main questions:

• What atmosphere do you want to create in the room: relaxing or invigorating? For a relaxing experience, use wallpaper pastel shades or decorate the walls in blue or burgundy brown. More energetic colors will create an invigorating atmosphere: red, orange, etc.

Colorful wallpaper is good, but in moderation. IN small rooms ah, set aside only one wall for them. Cover the rest with plain colors.

• How is the room lit? If the lighting is bright, it is better to use cool shades: blue, green, purple, etc. For rooms with insufficient sunlight or artificial light, wallpaper in warm colors, close to red or brown, is needed.
• How to choose wallpaper for furniture so that it turns out harmonious interior? Play with a combination of patterns on furniture upholstery and wallpaper. Take or buy small sample pieces from the store. If your furniture is of a well-known brand, then look at the catalogs. There you can find ready-made solutions for interior.

When choosing companion fabrics, try to ensure that one of the colors is repeated in the wallpaper colors. The same applies to ornaments: for example, damask on wallpaper and on fabric, but in a paler or, conversely, brighter form.

Option for small rooms- stick on three walls light wallpaper, and cover the fourth wall with wallpaper of a more saturated shade of the same range.

Another fail-safe principle- selection of wallpaper that is similar to furniture upholstery in tone: combine a warm tone with a warm one, a cold tone with a cold one.

The wallpaper is pasted. Choosing furniture

What to look for? Not only on the combination of shades and patterns, but also on style. If the wallpaper in the room is neutral, background, then you are more or less free in choosing furniture. Wallpapers with character require a more careful approach. Golden stripes and monograms make for a classic look. Floral patterns are combined with country and Provence style. Geometric patterns are suitable for modern furniture laconic forms.

As you know, the overall atmosphere of a home largely depends on correctly selected wallpaper. But walls alone are not the whole interior, and a competent combination of furniture and wallpaper is a fundamental factor in coziness and comfort in the house.

For those who are used to doing everything with their own hands, let’s say right away that there are no universal recipes with a 100% guarantee. Naturally, there are certain norms and rules of design, but each person has his own unique taste. Therefore, we will try to outline general directions in order to protect you from serious mistakes.

Advice: many experts argue about what should be taken as a basis - matching furniture to wallpaper or vice versa.
Both of these views have a right to life, but we are convinced that it is better to match the wallpaper to the furniture.
Since it is much easier and cheaper to re-glue the walls than to buy new furniture.

The video in this article gives advice on choosing wallpaper.

• One of the basic rules is that you should not overload the interior. bright colors . There should be no more than three primary colors in the room, but these colors should not be bright or strongly contrasting. Red walls combined with yellow or dark brown furniture are more likely to cause anxiety and irritation than to calm you down.
• But it happens when bright, flashy colors are already present and you need to do something with them. In this case, two colors are universal: gray and white. If you got furniture with an excessive amount of gilding, then a gray or silver ornament on the walls can set off the brightness of the colors. Whitened colors, that is, smoothed with a white tint, are visually well perceived.
• The walls and floor with ceiling are the fundamental background; the concept will be built on this basis in the future. They occupy about 70% of the total color content. Furniture together with curtains takes up 25%. The remaining 5% comes from figurines, paintings, lamps and other decorative items.

• In traditional styles, the background is usually filled with neutral, calm flowers and on this basis bright inclusions are made that place accents in the interior.
• If there are 2 or several bright colors in equal proportions in a room, then staying in such a room for a long time will be psychologically difficult, you will get tired of the colors and the atmosphere will begin to oppress.
• But using only one color is also not an option; such filling will reek of melancholy. Although this law does not apply to achromatic colors. If the combination of white and black is diluted with variations of gray and silver. Competently add texture and place accents by combining matte surfaces with glossy ones, you can get a very decent result.

Tip: if in the room gray furniture Whatever wallpaper you choose, it should have a gray or silver pattern.
The background can be almost anything, depending on your personal preferences.

• If an interior designed in an achromatic tonality is diluted with bright red colors, then you will get East style, closer to Japanese.
• If in your room low ceilings, then it is better to choose light, warm, neutral shades of wallpaper. But paint the ceiling white or sky blue, so it will seem a little higher and further away. Blue wallpaper glued to the ceiling with white furniture is perfect; this combination will add lightness.
• For tall, voluminous rooms the approach will be slightly different, wallpaper in warm, pastel colors It’s better to stick it on the ceiling, so the room will be more comfortable. IN in this case warm wallpaper for dark furniture will be more suitable.

In the video in this article you can do it yourself.

A color scheme

• In design, there are 2 fundamental approaches to the problem of combining the interior. The first is more common because it provides greater freedom of choice for non-professionals. According to this principle, warm wallpaper colors are matched to the same warm options furniture. Accordingly, the same color of furniture is selected for cold shades. Here you will not find a lilac set against a background of golden wallpaper.
• As for the second approach, it is closer to professionals. Opposition different colors typical for high-tech, minimalism or loft styles, but you should be careful, without having applied knowledge you can do too much. In any case, we are not talking about a militant opposition of cold and warm, only a soft combination.

Light and dark

• Which wallpaper to choose for light furniture with dark inserts is far from an idle question. Let's say you, succumbing to a fleeting impression, purchased light furniture with chocolate-colored details. Something in between is more suitable here, cream or beige wallpaper to light furniture and rare inclusions on the canvas in chocolate tones.
• If your furniture is dark, for example made of wenge, then lilac, light purple or amethyst will go well with it.
• Among the headsets in classic style Red shades are often found; it is better to surround them with a brown-golden or peach background. The price of this furniture, as a rule, is serious; it is a work of art in itself, so obsessive ornaments on the walls will only distract from such beauty.

Wallpaper on furniture

• Decorating furniture with wallpaper yourself was very common in the last century. With the development of production and the filling of the furniture market, interest in this type of creativity has changed somewhat. Decoupage has acquired all the signs of an independent art.
• This technology is attractive not only for its simplicity, but with its help you can turn your grandmother’s chest of drawers into a stylish piece of furniture. And wallpaper with a 3D effect can turn old wardrobe as a child's pride.
• Previously, the choice was limited only to stenciling and paper appliqué. Now the possibilities have increased significantly. The canvases will allow you to adapt any wardrobe to the upholstery upholstered furniture, glass wallpaper will revive a battered kitchen. In addition, you and your child can decorate it desk and he will be happy to teach lessons on it.
• The technology itself is extremely simple. The surface is well cleaned with emery cloth and degreased. After this, the pre-prepared canvas is glued to the surface. The glue is selected for this purpose. If necessary, after drying, you can coat it with furniture varnish.

The video in this article shows some decoupage techniques.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I would like to note that the price of wallpaper and furniture, of course, plays an important role, but in creativity this is far from the main thing. Well-placed accents and an impeccable sense of style and proportion can turn an ordinary Khrushchev-era apartment into a modern, cozy home.

Concluding the series of materials about types of wallpaper, I would like to talk about how to correctly combine this wall covering in the interior. After all, the most in a simple way To make your apartment unusual is to combine textures and colors in wall decoration. Therefore, it is important to choose the right combination of wallpaper. In this material we will try to introduce you in the most accessible way to the basic rules for selecting wallpaper, furniture and textiles for rooms that are designed in different styles.

A little theory

It is most convenient to select flowers using the “color wheel”. It is generally accepted that there are three primary colors: yellow, blue and red. If these colors are mixed in pairs, you get three more colors: purple, orange and green. If you continue to mix them, you can get a palette of twelve colors.

So how do you use this “color wheel”? For example, if you want to create a soft and calm interior, then it is best for you to combine adjacent colors of the spectrum. This solution is suitable for those rooms that are intended for relaxation. For example, for a bedroom or recreation room. For a more active and bright interior It is best to take opposite wheel colors. This combination is suitable for creating the interior of a living room, nursery or study.

The main tasks of combining wallpaper

So, why is it necessary to combine different colors and shades of wallpaper? This technique has not only aesthetic value, but also helps to correct any shortcomings in the room. For example, a small room with fairly high ceilings looks like cardboard box. In order to fix this, the technique of combining wallpaper is used.

Also, by combining wallpaper, you can divide a large room into functional areas. If your room is too elongated, then a combination of colors and textures will help to achieve a visual effect.

Let's get acquainted with combination techniques

Horizontal wall division

The most common way to combine wallpaper recently is to divide the wall horizontally. Often the wall is divided into three parts. The top two are covered with wallpaper of the same color, and the bottom - another. There are the following classic techniques for horizontal wall division:

The bottom is a strip, and the top is plain wallpaper or wallpaper with a small pattern;

The bottom is a large floral design, and the top is plain wallpaper;

The bottom is plain wallpaper, and the top is a large pattern.

It will be good if the wallpaper is from the same series or matches well in color. To decorate the horizontal joint between the wallpaper, a decorative strip or molding made of polyurethane foam is used. This method of combining wallpaper is suitable for those rooms where there are high ceilings or there is a large section of the wall that needs to be visually divided.

Alternating vertical stripes

This technique is ideal for apartment owners in Soviet-built houses, where one of the rooms has the shape of a wide corridor. In order to give it a visually square shape, you can use bright wallpaper with a large print and combine it with calm plain wallpaper. There are 3 ways to glue wallpaper:

In the center of long walls you can glue bright wide stripes one opposite the other. This way the room will visually become smaller in length;

The principle of “asymmetry” is applied: on one of the long walls there is a wide bright stripe in the center, on the other - several narrow stripes in the far corner of the room. The most important thing is that the stripes are of different widths;

You can use alternating stripes. One of the long walls can be covered with dark wallpaper, and one of the short walls can be covered with light wallpaper. The second short wall is covered with stripes of dark and light wallpaper with a slight overlap on the second long wall. With the help of such alternation, the clear outlines of the room are blurred, and the room visually takes on a different shape.

In order to use this combination of wallpaper in the living room, office or bedroom, do not forget that the wallpaper must be from the same material. Otherwise, the joints between the sheets may not look neat.

Selecting an entire wall

This method is used extremely rarely in practice. After all, highlighting an entire wall with contrasting wallpaper can visually make the room smaller. This combination of wallpaper is most often used in large bedroom when the furniture is somewhat lost in a spacious room.

Visual separation of another room

This technique is ideal for those who have decided to get rid of boring doorways and connect the rooms. In order to visually draw a line between two rooms, you can simply cover them with wallpaper of different colors. There is one “but” - the effect of such a technique can be greatly spoiled if the walls in two rooms are very different. But this drawback can be easily corrected with the help of curtains. For example, the pattern and shade of curtains in one adjacent room should be in harmony with the wallpaper in another room.

Highlighting a section of wall with texture or color

Quite often in different rooms it is necessary to select some structural element. This question becomes especially relevant if the main type of wallpaper in the room is brightly colored. In order to eliminate this drawback, you can paste over the niche with wallpaper of a different texture or a calmer shade. If you want to clearly zone the room, then you can use different finishes walls, i.e. you can apply not only color variations, but also different types wallpaper

"Wallpaper panel"

This method is quite common for decorating walls in big room. Its meaning lies in the formation of decorative inserts from bright wallpaper. It is worth adding that this method is also quite economical, since you only need to buy one roll of some beautiful and interesting wallpaper.

Photo wallpaper in the interior

Photo wallpapers are rightfully considered a new word in design. There are a number of rules for working with photo wallpaper:

This type of wallpaper does not like combinations with large drawing on other wallpapers;

The decoration of the room should be matched to the photo wallpaper or the interior should be based on contrast;

Landscape wallpaper should never be transferred from one wall to another through a corner;

For a small room, it is best to use wall-sized photo wallpaper;

The design of the photo wallpaper must fit into the style of the interior;

If your room is designed in a classic style, you need to abandon the idea of ​​​​using photo wallpaper.

Secrets of combining wallpaper in different rooms

For large spacious rooms, you can use wallpaper in dark colors (gray, black, purple) with large patterns. If you want to place furniture near the wall, then it is better to decorate it with plain wallpaper.

In a cramped room, you should not use dark and contrasting combinations. In order to visually make a small room larger, cover one of the walls with light wallpaper with a textured, barely noticeable pattern. But you can cover the remaining walls with plain wallpaper with a glossy coating or silk-screen printing.

If the walls have minor imperfections, then it is not recommended to glue light-colored wallpaper. In a room with uneven walls, you can use special leveling wallpaper with a thick base with a dim pattern or a spotted background.

In case there is a deficiency in the room solar lighting, then it is best to use wallpaper in warm colors. One of the walls in this case should be much brighter than the others. You can use a monochrome combination of colors (for example, golden and sand, rich coral and pale pink).
