The right color for the wallpaper

The walls in the room occupy a huge area, so it is so important to carefully choose the color of the finish. You need to take into account your own preferences, the size of the bedroom, the degree of its natural light, interior style and some other factors. You also need to decide which wallpaper is needed: plain or with a pattern, and if with a pattern, which one will be most appropriate. You might want to combine several wallpaper options to achieve a specific effect.

Of course, it’s better to choose calm shades for the rest room in order to create a relaxing atmosphere of complete relaxation, but this is not the law at all, and sometimes even bright shades are appropriate, especially when it comes to spacious bedroom. For such rooms, you can also use saturated shades, which is impossible, if the bedroom is small. In this case, you need to choose from light pastel shades that are able to visually make the room a little larger.

You need to consider the location of the bedroom relative to the cardinal points and the degree of its illumination. So, the rooms, whose windows face north, need to select wallpapers of warm colors: sand, peach, yellow, apricot, etc. Rooms with southern windows, on the contrary, are very heavily lit, so it is better to use cool shades: light blue, blue, olive, gray, light green.

• green color creates an atmosphere of complete relaxation;
• White color - neutral, will fit into the interior of any bedroom, but it is better to combine it with other shades, and it combines with any color. Using only white in the bedroom can make it boring and too simple;
• black color very ambiguous: on the one hand, it creates a mysterious and even mystical atmosphere, and on the other, it can put pressure on those present, which is why you need to know the measure and use it correctly when combined with other colors: the classic version is a combination of black and white;
• shades of yellow and orange bring sunny warm mood to the room, therefore, indispensable in small northern rooms;
• brown and its shades It also calms well, goes well with pastel shades.

Correctly combine the color of the walls, of furniture and curtains in the bedroom - This is half the battle in creating a harmonious bedroom design. Combinations can be very different, but you should always adhere to the rule: combine warm shades with warm, and cold - with cold.

Wallpaper drawing

If you prefer non-plain wallpaper, then you need to be careful when choosing an ornament. The main thing is not to oversaturated the bedroom with different patterns: if the wallpaper is with a pattern, then the curtains and furniture should be as plain as possible. As for the choice of a particular pattern, the assortment is huge today, but all the patterns can be divided into several types:

• flower ornament Fits perfectly into the bedroom in the style of Provence or country, creates a romantic atmosphere. At the same time, such a bedroom becomes feminine, and to balance it, you can combine such wallpapers with stripes or cages. With a skillful approach, you can create a stylish interior;

It can be of different thicknesses and colors, located in different directions, so these wallpapers fit into any room, combined with wallpaper of other colors and can adjust the room. So, a vertical strip can visually make the bedroom higher, and if you stick such wallpaper with an overlap on ceiling, then the effect will be generally astounding. A horizontal strip helps make the bedroom a little larger, at least visually;
• repeating pattern, an abstract ornament is also able to decorate the bedroom, but the choice of such wallpaper should be treated very carefully. For small bedrooms, it is better not to pick up a too large ornament - it will look inharmonious, put pressure on those in the room and reduce the already small space.

Wallpaper Combination

All the walls of the bedroom can be pasted with the same wallpaper, but you can combine two typesmaking the room a little more interesting. Combination Rules different wallpapers are simple. So, if the ornament is different, then the wallpaper should be made in one color. Most often, monophonic canvases and wallpaper with a pattern are combined. You can go the other way, and choose two types of wallpaper in different colors, but with the same ornament.

Now the question is brewing how to combine different types of wallpaper. There are several ways to do this:

• vertical placement. Often in this way the bed area is distinguished: the width of the different strip of wallpaper exactly matches the width of the bed. Such a strip can reach the ceiling, or it can go onto it, or it can even go to the opposite wall. You can generally glue one strip of some wallpaper, one of the other, and so on;
• horizontal placement provides a huge scope for imagination. As a rule, the lower part is a wallpaper of a more saturated color or with an active pattern, and the upper part is more restrained and calm;
• insertion. With the help of wallpapers you can create interesting interior solutions. So, decorating with wallpaper of a different color or with a different pattern can help to highlight some area in the bedroom (desktop, dressing table), if necessary. You can create such an insert of a square, rectangular or oval shape on any of the walls, and frame it in a baguette - you get an unusual decoration of the room.

In addition, you can highlight the whole wall with other wallpapers, focusing on it. Often this way the wall is finished at the head of the bed.
