Paper

The most common type of wallpaper at all times has always been paper. They are the cheapest. Most often they have a pattern on the front side. However, they are not durable and will not be able to hide the uneven surface of the walls. But, nevertheless, paper wallpaper still remains the main market leader among global manufacturers.

The room located in the southern part of the building should be covered with wallpaper in light, cool colors with a large pattern. Furniture decorated to match looks harmonious with the walls.

The most common are floral motifs - flowers, plants, trees and the like.

The ideal combination of paper wallpaper and textiles on the windows. A bedroom for romantic people who value sophistication and comfort.

Paper wallpaper with an unobtrusive pattern will ideally fit into a combined bathroom (sink and toilet), where there is no high humidity, as in a bathroom.

Fabric

Such wallpapers are mainly panels of silk, cotton or synthetic material, as well as various combinations thereof. Compared to paper wallpapers - fabric ones are much more expensive, but at the same time they will last you much longer. And their appearance is more luxurious. Fabric wallpaper can slightly improve sound insulation, also reducing heat loss from the room through the walls.

Non-woven

Non-woven wallpaper is very similar in structure to the paper wallpaper that formed its basis, but with a more durable surface and material density. This is what allows them to be used in the living room or in places where there is a lot of traffic or special strength of materials is required. The multilayer structure of these wallpapers allows you to choose among them the most suitable option for the outer layer - polymer or natural textures.

Vinyl

The outer layer of this wallpaper consists of pure polyvinyl chloride. This allows you not to be afraid of walls and wallpaper getting wet in rooms with high humidity, prolonging the life of the wall covering and the building itself. But on the other hand, vinyl wallpaper does not allow air to pass through. This means that the walls will not “breathe”. But using such panels, you can create any texture and make relief walls.

This type of wallpaper is based on fiberglass and reinforcement, which increases the strength of the canvas. Glass wallpaper:

• beautiful as pure silk;
• durable like plastic;
• as strong as steel cables.

But they are quite expensive in terms of cost. However, they quickly pay for themselves due to the duration of use and the reliability of the material. If you suddenly get bored with them, you don’t have to remove them from the walls, you can simply apply putty on top of them.

Glass wallpaper - pros and cons:

Essentially, this is a dry mixture, making a solution from which you can decorate the room. It contains cellulose. As they dry, the walls take on the appearance of being theirs. That is why this type is called liquid wallpaper. They are much stronger than ordinary plaster or putty, they perfectly level the surface of the walls, maintaining the circulation of air from the microclimate of the room.

What is liquid wallpaper, technology for applying liquid wallpaper:

Bamboo wallpaper is a piece of nature in your home; it is completely free of any toxicity. Initially, this is an environmentally friendly material, but somewhat expensive compared to others. With their help you can create a unique cozy atmosphere in any home and room. They do not need to be painted - natural colors and textures are much more popular and are especially in demand among many buyers who can afford these fashionable wallpapers.

Beaded

Beaded wallpaper is wallpaper on a paper, non-woven or vinyl base, covered with tiny beads in a wide range of colors. The interior, in the design of which such wallpaper will be used, will be unique and impeccably excellent. All the neighbors will be jealous.

3D wallpaper is a three-dimensional image; from the outside, such wallpaper looks very realistic.

Photo wallpaper: pros and cons of use

As a rule, photo wallpaper is one bright glossy pattern, which is the main focus on one of the walls of the room being decorated. What is this for? Let's look at the positive and negative aspects of this subspecies.

Photo wallpaper in the interior:

3D wallpaper, gluing specifics

3D wallpaper is a three-dimensional image; from the outside, such wallpaper looks very realistic. But among them there are several types. Which ones? Let's figure it out.

Single/standard

This is a small sized piece of wallpaper. In appearance they resemble some kind of optical illusion:

• blurry stripes;
• distorted reality;
• various geometric projections.

Such wallpaper already takes up more space - either an entire wall, or two, or even three. These are three-dimensional images, incomparable in their luxury, from mythological subjects to fantastic landscapes.

Fluorescent

The peculiarity is that during the day it is just a three-dimensional drawing, and at night the room is filled with pleasant diffused light, creating a feeling of complete unreality of what is happening. And all thanks to the fluorescent light bulbs that underlie their illumination.

LED wallpaper is a complex system of lighting that can be adjusted using a remote control, creating a different picture.

Selecting the type of wallpaper depending on the room

Living room

Find out what trends will be relevant in 2017.

Children's

In the nursery, it is best to use paper wallpaper. They can be changed along with the development of the child, without fear that he will spoil them... Children's wallpaper should be pastel colors.

Kitchen

Fiberglass and vinyl will be the best helpers. They are moisture resistant and durable.

Hallway

Vinyl and glass wallpaper will help extend the life of your hallway; they are reliable and durable. Natural wallpaper - bamboo - will also look good.

How to visually expand/reduce space using the right wallpaper

To do this, you need to remember these little tricks:

1. If the walls are low, they should be covered with wallpaper in light colors or have a small pattern.
2. If the ceilings on the other hand are too high, then choose wallpaper with horizontal lines or large patterns.
3. In large rooms, it is customary to cover the walls with dark wallpaper. Or they should have large patterns on them.
4. In rooms located on the north side of the building, it is better to hang wallpaper in warm colors. And for those located in the southern part, cool shades will be the best option.
5. If you want to experiment a little and make combined wallpaper, then they should be of similar tones, the same thickness and texture.

Combining wallpaper in the interior

If, when combining wallpaper, you choose vertical stripes, then know that in this way you visually increase the height of the space between the ceiling and the floor. Horizontal lines help expand the space of the entire room, but “lower” the ceilings. You can also use the “patchwork” method. It is most suitable for a children's room. The main thing is to approach the matter with all responsibility so that you don’t end up with a “clown outfit” instead of a clearly thought-out design.

Practical and inexpensive, easy to install and use, with a wide choice of colors and textures - using wallpaper is the easiest and fastest way to refresh the decor of a room or radically change the design. But there are also many varieties of this finishing material. Therefore, it is important not only to choose the right print, color scheme of the finish, but also the raw materials from which the canvas is made. The aesthetics, durability, strength and ease of maintenance of the decorated walls will directly depend on the properties of the wallpaper.

Fashionable design 2017

All areas of our lives are affected by fashion trends. Clothing designers easily change color priorities; new trends exclude previous, recently most relevant ideas. In the field of decorating residential spaces, to the delight of ordinary people, the change in trends does not happen so quickly - the created renovation can be relevant for several years. But “keep your finger on the pulse” is necessary for everyone who has decided to make a major renovation or minor reconstruction of their home.

What wallpaper can be considered the most stylish in the new 2017? What color and texture will be relevant and modern? Fortunately for us, there is no clear answer to these questions. Too many factors influence the choice of finishing materials in rooms with different functional purposes. Not to mention the personal preferences of designers and their customers - some prefer timeless classics and are ready to spend money, for others it is important to maintain the family budget, and still others need ultra-fashionable design. And yet, among the latest trends in the field of finishing materials, the most popular trends can be identified:

usage plain wallpaper. This approach is chosen not only by conservatives or those who are just starting their journey in creating the design of their own home. Light, plain wallpaper may be the only acceptable option for decorating a very small room. In other cases, the walls act only as a backdrop for wall decor - a collection of framed photos or paintings. Using bright, solid wallpaper can be a great way to decorate an accent wall;

geometric print is trending now. Depending on the size of the room, the level of illumination (location relative to the cardinal directions) and stylistic design, you can use either a small and colorful print or a large but barely noticeable pattern;

plant pattern on canvases made from various raw materials. Paper wallpaper, vinyl or textile - floral print is always relevant. The nuances of using plant motifs for the new season are mainly associated with dosed use. If earlier our compatriots often covered all the walls of the living room or bedroom with wallpaper with a large floral pattern, now the finishes are combined, and the pattern or ornament is used as a material for an accent surface;

practicality, functionality and aesthetics are always in fashion, so modern designers give preference wide wallpaper. The wider the canvas, the fewer joints there will be on the walls;

for reasons of ease of installation and operation liquid wallpaper are becoming increasingly popular.

Popular materials

Wallpaper fabrics are made from various materials. Thanks to the wide variety, the modern owner of an apartment or house can find an option that will satisfy him in terms of quality and cost. Obviously, for rooms with different climates and functional backgrounds, it is necessary to choose wallpaper with a certain composition. But there are many universal options that can become practical, durable and aesthetic wall coverings in a variety of rooms. What types of wallpaper are considered the most popular these days?

Most modern owners of houses and apartments planning renovations or minor alterations choose non-woven wallpaper (or vinyl on a non-woven backing). High strength, durability (relative to other types of canvases) and a wide range of colors and textures are becoming the main criteria for choosing this type of finish for modern homes. The advantage of gluing walls with non-woven wallpaper is that you only need to apply glue to the wall - there is no risk of the canvas getting wet, erasing the pattern or damaging the material. This material can be made for painting or already contain a print (pattern, drawing, ornament).

Liquid wallpaper is becoming increasingly popular. The application of such material is more reminiscent of painting. But unlike conventional painting, liquid wallpaper comes in a variety of textures and can have various additives and additives in a color different from the main tone. If the surface is prepared for finishing, then applying liquid wallpaper (removing your room from joints and seams) will not be difficult even for an inexperienced owner making renovations for the first time.

Textile wallpaper is most often used to decorate accent walls in bedrooms and living rooms. Luxurious performance, the ability to “breathe” and excellent sound insulation captivate home and apartment owners to use this expensive material. But the inability to clean the surface with a damp sponge and any cleaning agents prohibits the use of textile fabrics in rooms with a high level of possible contamination - children's rooms, kitchens, hallways and corridors, bathrooms and toilets.

There are other types of wallpaper that are used to decorate residential premises, but their popularity is significantly lower than the options listed. For example, paper wallpaper is highly environmentally friendly and costs less than all other wallpaper materials, but is completely impractical, short-lived and often looks “simple” for creating a unique room design.

Color palette and print

In the new season, designers invite us to plunge into the world of complex shades of blue. The current colors will be sea green, whitened indigo, light blue, deep ultramarine. It is best to use different shades of blue in rooms located on the south side of the building and well lit by sunlight, because all shades of blue belong to a cool color scheme.

Gray color continues to be one of the leaders in the top list of the current color palette of 2017. The neutrality and versatility of most shades of this color allows it to be used as the main solution for the interior palette in a wide variety of rooms. Living rooms and bedrooms, hallways and offices - gray color is relevant in rooms with different microclimates and functional backgrounds. Even in a children's room, a gray tone can be used as a companion to a bright shade and get an original and at the same time unobtrusive room design. Colorful furniture, textiles and wall decor look very impressive against a neutral gray wall background.

Almost all shades of beige can be called neutral, warm. That is why beige tone is so often used when creating the design of small rooms, rooms located on the north side of the building, deprived of a lot of natural light. The light beige palette is perfect for decorating a bedroom – the calming and cozy atmosphere sets the mood for rest and relaxation. Pastel shades of beige will always be relevant.

Black and white print did not come into fashion yesterday and will not cease to be mainstream tomorrow. Graphic images often become the basis for the design of premises in different stylistic designs - from classic to avant-garde. Depending on the diversity of the pattern, the ratio of white and black colors in the pattern, canvases with graphic prints can be used both in spacious rooms and small rooms to highlight functional areas.

Wallpaper with a vertical pattern will help to visually increase the height of the ceiling in the room. Whether it will be a stripe or a vertical pattern is up to you. The main thing is that the “stripes” are not frequent, not colorful, and do not attract too much attention.

Metallic wallpaper or embossed canvases have not lost their popularity for several seasons. As a rule, wallpaper with a silver or golden tint is made with an ornate pattern (English, Windsor, Versailles pattern) or floral print. The luxury of embossed fabrics adds a touch of well-being, elegance and style to any interior. In classic, neo-classical interiors, such wallpaper can be used both to decorate all walls and to highlight certain areas within a combined room or a separate space that has several functional segments.

Combining wallpaper from different materials can lead to the creation of a not only original room design, but also a unique concept. For example, in classic and neo-classical interiors, the selection of zones decorated with embossed wallpaper and moldings looks luxurious. At the same time, the wallpaper, limited by moldings, can be made in the same color scheme as the main tone of the walls and differ only in the pattern, or they can appear in a contrasting, colorful version that stands out against the general background.

Photo wallpapers have not become less popular. It’s hard to think of a better option for highlighting an accent surface. High-quality image printing allows us to immerse ourselves in a beautiful landscape without leaving our own apartment. Or feel the warmth of home against the backdrop of bookshelves, admire a huge family portrait on the entire wall, or decorate a nursery with an image of your favorite fairy tale, cartoon, or comic book character.

When using photo wallpaper to create a modern interior, designers around the world especially often began to use various maps. This could be a map of the world or your city, a non-existent kingdom or a place where you were born and can now only be nostalgic.

Several universal options

We bring to your attention several wallpaper options that fit harmoniously into both the interior of residential and utilitarian premises. There are many modern paintings that look trendy in the living room, bedroom, office, dining room and even hallway. Modern materials are highly durable and wear-resistant, can be cleaned, do not fade in the sun, and last for many years with proper use. That is why many finishing options using wallpaper are suitable for rooms with different microclimates and functional loads.

And finally, another option for using the same wallpaper in different rooms of the home.

Wallpaper in a modern interior – new for 2019

Fashionable and beautiful design is the dream of every housewife. The problem of choice appears immediately; beautiful wallpapers differ in texture, color, and pattern.

Let's look at each criterion for evaluating wallpaper.

Monochromatic wallpaper is no longer popular; for many years there was not much choice. But even now you can intelligently decorate any room and create an unusual design.

Designers divide colors conventionally.

Pastel shades of tenderness and romanticism will suit any style. Popular colors: peach, lilac and light yellow.

Natural colors are becoming fashionable, people want to be closer to the environment. Such shades are better for minimalism, provincial interiors (country, Provence, loft).

The most beautiful colors: sand, beige, chocolate, as well as sky blue, golden, terracotta and mustard.

Bright colors enliven the interior, but must be used with caution. If there is a lack of light and brightness, it is better to choose 1 tone: bright yellow, orange, turquoise, bright green, sea green, etc.

Saturated colors are bold solutions, such as blue, cherry color, rich green, etc. They are also used carefully to make the interior the highlight of the room, you need bright lighting.

Deep colors symbolize subtle sensuality and inner fullness. Such shades of wallpaper are more effective in large rooms; it is better to dilute them with light colors.

Emerald, violet burgundy, wine, and dark blue colors are called beautiful and deep.

Stylish and original shades are paints rarely found in interiors. But today they are called superfashionable, which is why they are increasingly used in interiors. In chic designs, such shades are simply magnificent: mint, indigo, juicy pink, coral, etc.

Patterns on beautiful wallpaper

For those who don’t like or are tired of monochrome wallpaper, there is a large selection of wallpaper with patterns, different patterns, and prints on sale:

• Various geometries (diamonds, squares, compositions, etc.).
• A variety of flowers of all shades and sizes.
• Floral motifs (palm trees, vines, vines, leaves).

Animalistic drawings will fit perfectly into creative designs: fusion, pop art, hi-tech. In African style, patterns of a leopard, zebra, tiger or snake are ideal.

Plots or scenes from life, large wall panoramas will bring life to an empty wall and make it the center of attention.

Landscape images of megacities, monuments, luxurious architecture, and night views look great on the entire wall.

3D wallpaper looks impressive and true, as an accent in any room. But they require a completely free wall so that nothing interferes with enjoying the three-dimensional panorama.

To get rid of boredom, they choose abstraction. Blots, irregular geometry, a jumble of lines and colors change thinking and bring novelty to the interior.

Fairy-tale images of imaginary animals (fairies, elves).

Space photos, drawings (stars, planets, galaxies). The bottomless sky with a scattering of millions of stars is perfectly relaxing.

Important! The smaller the area of ​​the room, the smaller the pattern on the wallpaper should be.

Texture is an important criterion for choosing wallpaper

In order for beautiful wallpaper to fit well into the interior, you need to take into account its texture:

• The gloss is more impressive on wallpaper in dark shades with backlighting, while light shades will be dull.
• Matte wallpaper is a classic in decoration.
• Volumetric images are effective on any background, but will stand out more on dark wallpaper.
• The original beautiful relief of the wallpaper is fully visible on dark wallpaper. They can adjust the layout of the room.
• The grain of plaster is an excellent decoration for walls.

Silk-screen printing will create the feeling of being upholstered in luxurious fabric, as was customary in past centuries in palaces.

The squeak of fashion - leather-look wallpaper, velor, velvet, beads, suede, frescoes. It is impossible to take your eyes off such walls.

To correctly select beautiful wallpaper, you need to take into account: the functionality of the room, size, style, light, additional elements (furniture, accessories and suitable textiles).

   Wallpaper is deservedly the most popular type of decoration for residential premises. A variety of textures and a wide selection of colors allow you to choose an option that will ideally suit the personal needs of the owner. Different manufacturing technologies and materials make it possible to decorate with wallpaper in almost any room of the house.

   

The most popular material for wall decoration has been wallpaper for many decades. When a renovation is planned, a lot of controversy arises around the choice of this coating. Moreover, today our eyes run wild - design, quality, types of wallpaper both simplify and complicate the choice at the same time.

Wallpaper transforms the house, the walls of its main room, and therefore you need to be wise and far-sighted in your choice.

Styles change, mix, break up into directions, and it is difficult to figure out what style to create the furnishings of your home in so that it does not become old-fashioned for at least a few years.

You need to dance from the laws of style: if it’s a classic, then don’t even try to look closely at the trendy collections, focusing on themes, colors, plots, motifs and patterns that have been open for a long time. Renovation in a classic style is also an update, it’s just that classic furniture and wallpaper are presented more widely, and the quality of materials increases.

Designers suggest decorating the wall more boldly, without being afraid of fashionable experiments. And even a Khrushchev building that doesn’t offer good footage can be transformed with the help of simple design tricks.

Three popular wallpaper options for a modern living room:

• Dark wallpaper + light furniture. This move is beginning to be used more and more often. The principle works on contrasts, which unexpectedly make the “sleepy” living room become dynamic, bright, but at the same time not so active that it would be difficult to stay in it for a long time. There is no point in covering all the walls with dark wallpaper; you can make only one central wall very dark, as opposed to the rest of the light ones. For example, under dark gray brick. And attach a modular set of milky color to this wall. If you have already chosen this color scheme, do not mix other colors - only gray, white and black. And soft light, possibly spot lighting.
• Dark furniture + light “calm” wallpaper. Dark furniture in a room is often chosen due to its aristocratic appearance. And it can only be emphasized through contrasting wallpaper, but not necessarily white. This season, soft olive and soft lemon colors are in fashion, which will highlight the advantages of dark furniture.
• Bright furniture + muted wallpaper. A modern home doesn’t necessarily mean boring colors, it also means lots of color accents. And if your renovation forces the house to transform in just this way, then wallpaper in muted shades will help set off the white set, red table and light green chairs.

4. Photo wallpaper. Versatile, wide selection, affordable price. But: they do not hide wall defects; professional gluing is desirable.
5. Textile wallpaper. Natural, breathable, beautiful, without joints. But: very expensive, they collect dust and absorb odors.

These are just the most popular types, among which liquid wallpaper, especially popular today, stands out.

Liquid wallpaper in the hall: what are the advantages

Disadvantages of liquid wallpaper:

• Hygroscopicity. It is not recommended to use them in rooms with high humidity, that is, the hall is an even more acceptable option.

How to hang wallpaper beautifully in the living room: three ways

Repairs can always be turned towards creativity, and wallpaper for a living room can be combined. And three interesting ways will show you how to do it beautifully.

Ways to combine wallpaper in the living room:

• Vertical stripes. This means that some wallpapers are a background, while others complement this background with fragments of vertical stripes. In this case, the first wallpaper is plain, the second with a pattern, for example, floral.
• Dividing walls into horizons. The main thing is not to stick a stripe, border or other type of wallpaper in the middle of the wall, it looks ridiculous. But separating the lower third of the wall is a classic option, which immediately gives the room a noble appearance.
• Wallpaper inserts. Such inclusions on plain, calm wallpaper make the space more dynamic. And there are not necessarily many inclusions, for example, two wide vertical stripes along the TV area.

And if the hall is small, what should we do then?

Wallpaper for a small room in an apartment: requirements

Renovation in a small room is subject to certain rules; if you do not break them, you will consider that you have completed the task.

Wallpaper in a small room should be:

1. Dim. Brightness and variegation “eat up” the footage, which you already have too little of.
2. Plain. If there are drawings, motifs, patterns, let them be in textiles or other small decor.
3. Embossed. If the color is simple, muted, neutral, due to the relief you can give the living room warmth and comfort, but the relief should not be intrusive.

And the most preferred colors for wallpaper in the hall: pastel colors, milky, light pink, delicate lemon, faded olive, pale blue, faded lilac, light gray.

Wallpaper for the living room of a private house: are there any differences?

There can be differences only if the hall in the house is very large. If the house and its size allow this, then you can play with a combination of wallpaper.

A distinctive feature of the house is that, unlike an apartment, it is located in a more natural environment. And this naturalness should be emphasized in the interior. This means that such wallpaper for the hall can be natural - for example, linen or bamboo. A worthy ensemble of furniture, decorative elements and textiles should emphasize this desire for naturalness.

A house will be a home if you emphasize in every possible way that it is closer to nature, which means the aesthetics of naturalness and natural beauty should come first, and this also applies to wallpaper.

Repairs do not tolerate inattention to detail, and wallpaper is not a small thing at all. Choose colors that have always had a calming effect on you, or, conversely, invigorated and made you happy. At the same time, do not rush to extremes such as active colors that excite. The environment should not bore you; it should create a cocoon of comfort, warmth and security. Good luck with your choice!
