Wallpaper is still the most popular and affordable wall covering. Their softness and texture allow you to create a special coziness in every room. Wallpaper for the bedroom is incredibly diverse and can transform, refresh and decorate the interior

Features and Benefits

Wallpaper is considered one of the most ancient wall coverings. Their official creator is considered Jean-Michel Papillon, who in 1645 invented wooden blocks to create a long-lasting and artful pattern on paper wallpaper. In fact, history takes us to Ancient China, where 200 years BC they began to stick rice paper on walls. Much later - in 1481 A French artist painted wall paper for King Louis XI with charming angels in the blue sky, which quickly became a fashionable trend among the nobility.

Little by little, wallpaper began to decorate homes all over the world, while also performing quite practical functions. So, the design of this coating provides:

• excellent breathability;
• pleasant tactile sensations;
• good sound insulation depending on the type of wallpaper;
• the ability to carry out repairs yourself;
• presentable type of coating for several years;
• all kinds of prints and patterns, including photo printing;
• masking some wall irregularities;
• minimal costs;
• environmental friendliness.

The last point largely advocates the use of wallpaper among bedroom interiors. The absence of foreign odors and the impossibility of allergic reactions allows you to sleep peacefully in the room. In addition, modern design allows wallpaper to be an organic covering in both a classic bedroom and modern styles.

Depending on the direction in the design of the bedroom, wallpaper sometimes looks completely different:

• For example, among the features of the models for classic bedrooms choose a clear repeating pattern with notes of ornateness.
• Provence and Country on the contrary, they may not have too careful drawing and even be produced in one color, because the main accents here are furniture and accessories.
• The secondary importance of wallpaper design is also observed in the Art Nouveau style. Colors and images here should not drown out stylistic decisions in choosing a bed and furniture set.
• Abstractions on wallpaper have firmly entered into the style Minimalism.

Species

Modern and traditional types of wallpaper vary enormously in price segment and in aesthetic and practical qualities. Some create a glossy surface, others create a soft textured structure. Knowing their features will allow you to achieve the desired look of the bedroom. The first and well-known type is paper wallpaper. They are the most environmentally friendly type and are perfect for the bedroom, consisting of paper and cellulose.

They also have other advantages, for example:

• The most affordable prices;
• Brightness of colors;
• Variety of designs and ornaments;
• Breathable surface that prevents the appearance of fungi and mold;
• Possibility to carry out repairs yourself.

It is worth saying that paper wallpaper can be single-layer or double-layer. The latter are in a higher price range, but their performance characteristics are higher. Single-layer options are familiar with such problems as:

• Possible stretching of the pattern during gluing;
• Sunburn;
• Fear of wet cleaning;
• Translucent patterns from old wallpaper due to improper treatment of walls before repair;
• Difficulty removing wallpaper from the wall during subsequent repairs;
• Lack of sound insulation, which is important for such a relaxation area as a bedroom.

Of course, two-layer models also have these disadvantages to some extent, but the second sheet makes them tougher and stronger. You can enjoy their presentable appearance for 5-7 years.

Non-woven wallpaper can be considered a more advanced version of eco-friendly wallpaper. They contain cellulose-based non-woven material, making them very practical. For example, this option can be confidently wiped down with water, painted with water-based paint and enjoy the textured patterns. In addition, non-woven wallpaper “breathes” and meets all fire safety requirements. This look is also good for bedrooms.

However, do not confuse non-woven wallpaper with non-woven vinyl wallpaper. These products have only a general appeal, differing in practical application. So, experts advise using vinyl wallpaper for the hallway, bathroom or kitchen. In places where healthy sleep is expected, the presence of polyvinyl chloride can play a cruel joke on the owner. The fact is that vinyl does not allow air to pass through, has a characteristic odor, and is a completely synthetic material.

Vinyl varieties include one of the most attractive types called silk-screen printing. On a perfectly smooth and thin surface, embossing creates glossy patterns that captivate with the shine of silk threads. Despite the fact that vinyl wallpaper has excellent aesthetic properties and can be washed, its use in the bedroom is not recommended. Therefore, experts advise paying attention to more natural materials. For example, acrylic wallpaper has a thinner synthetic layer that provides better air passage.

And when thinking about high-quality repairs for many years, you can consider the option of natural wallpaper. They are made from materials such as cork, bamboo, jute, seaweed and even straw. Non-woven fabric can be used as a base, or there may be no base at all. This option can be called one of the most environmentally friendly and presentable, which also has a large number of advantages.

Pros of natural cork wallpaper:

• Pleasant tactile sensations from the softness of the material;
• Non-flammability;
• Dust-repellent property;
• Possibility of pasting not only smooth walls, but also convex or concave surfaces;
• Service life - more than 20 years.

At the same time, such models also have a main disadvantage, which is an obstacle for those who want to carry out repairs on a budget. For a square meter of this unique canvas you will have to pay at least 500 rubles, which for a full wall amounts to a significant amount. In this case, designers advise not to give up this attractive idea, highlighting the framed part of the wall with a natural covering, leaving the remaining walls of the bedroom for a more budget-friendly covering.

Another innovative type is glass wallpaper. They are made from heated special glass fibers using a kind of loom. This species is absolutely strong and durable, and is not afraid of even the tenacious claws of pets. In addition, this is washable wallpaper that can be easily cleaned with any detergent. Fiberglass wallpaper is used in its natural form and for painting, because the number of possible colors reaches 20 times.

Textile wallpapers have the highest class of beauty for the bedroom. Made from silk, velor and felt, they are extremely pleasant, although they are very difficult to care for. For example, fabric ones fade in the sun, but it is better to entrust them to a craftsman, because a drop of glue on the front side will remain there almost forever. This option also traps dust, which affects light-colored wallpapers more.

Despite all this, textile wallpaper is increasingly used in bedrooms. They exude coziness and warmth, captivating those who want to transform an ordinary room into one of the coziest corners in their home. Coatings of this type hide small unevenness in walls well and are an environmentally friendly product. In some cases, liquid wallpaper is used for bedrooms. Decorative plaster made of non-woven fabric is supplemented with mineral additives, for example, quartz sand, and is applied to the walls with a spatula. The result is a textured wall with the ability to apply any patterns and images using a stencil and paint. Their service life is long.

Having chosen the type of wallpaper suitable for your home, it’s time to decide on its color. You will have to spend a third of your life in the chosen color, and therefore the right decision here is extremely important.

Color variety

Choosing a color for the bedroom is a responsible undertaking, because the color palette will affect both your sleep and your energy level when you wake up. In this case, it is important to choose which value has higher priority. So, if when you come home after a busy day you want to take a break from everything, it is better to give preference to neutral, soothing tones. If rich shades invigorate and motivate you, you should forget about the stereotypical pastel shades of the bedroom and breathe life into the interior with rich colors.

This year has become a time for designers to gradually forget the color beige. Despite the fact that this tone can be considered universal and suitable for everything, The designers have chosen something more interesting:

• So, white wallpaper is a good choice for a cozy corner of calm and balance. They can be combined with absolutely any color of furniture and even pastel shades are filled with strength, turning them into bright accents . And against the background of a white ceiling and dark parquet, they significantly extend the room in height, adding visual space.

• Black wallpaper– another trend this season. However, before giving them preference, it is important to soberly assess the area of ​​the bedroom, because any dark color eats up space. The situation is different with spacious rooms, when the black tone gives the atmosphere luxury and solidity. It is worth noting that even in a large room, black wallpaper is glued to one wall, for example, at the head of the bed. This way, the bed area is accentuated, and black is not the first thing you look at every morning.

• When coming up with stylish combinations for a black wall, stylists recommend paying attention to such multifaceted gray wallpaper. Moreover, they may not be monochromatic, but two-color, consisting of geometric patterns. For example, vertical gray and white stripes can be considered a simple and effective geometric solution. A gray long-pile carpet can complement such a luxurious and laconic bedroom.

Don’t forget about high-quality lighting in the form of a large chandelier or spotlights.

• Presence warm colors will decorate the space of any bedroom. To do this, the walls can be decorated with wallpaper imitating natural stone, boards or lining. It looks very colorful, keeping pace with the new trends of the latest season. The space can be completely covered with similar wallpaper, or perhaps, as in the previous case, located at the head of the bed.

• Remains in fashion and blue tones. Stylists advise choosing blue and turquoise shades for decorating the bedroom, which give special tenderness and tranquility. Experts recommend treating dark blue tones with caution, because too much color can turn a cozy bedroom into a cold and gloomy room. A combination of several wallpaper tones will help solve this problem.

• But green tones, on the contrary, they are definitely loved by all stylists and psychologists. This positive and pleasant color palette can improve your mood, relax you after mental work and set you up for positivity at the beginning of the day. For the bedroom, you can choose either plain wallpaper or options with delicate flowers, for example, pink peonies, violets and other intricate fantasy floral motifs.

• Pink wallpaper, By the way, today they are also at the peak of popularity. However, they never left the heights of relevance, because most women’s bedrooms are decorated with this particular color. Here you should choose pastel colors from soft pink to gray-pink undertones.

• The progenitor of the pink tone - red tint, Designers do not recommend using it to decorate a bedroom. Red wallpaper excites the mind too much, excites thoughts, and sometimes even incites aggression. This color is contraindicated for people with sleep disorders. However, not all shades of red need to be excluded from the options. So, burgundy and brown wallpapers are perfect for noble classic bedrooms. In combination with luxurious natural wood furniture, they give an atmosphere of warmth and comfort.

• Lilac and purple tones wallpaper raises some doubts among psychologists, because these shades, like blue tones, are cold. When they appear dark and overly saturated, they can instill anxiety, and therefore when choosing this color you should pay attention to a pale lavender tone and delicate pastel colors.

With a pattern

Deserves special attention wallpaper with a pattern, Indeed, in most cases, it is precisely because of the unique ornament that this type of wall covering is preferred. Floral wallpaper is considered one of the most popular types. Indeed, they have been and will be popular for a very long time, because the magic of flowers will captivate with their beauty and tenderness. The easiest and most unobtrusive option would be wallpaper with small flowers, including no more than three shades. Their numerous varieties can be observed in Country and Provence styles, where wildflowers settle on a green background.

If the bedroom is made in modern styles, the original solution will be wallpaper with peonies and roses. They can look like photo wallpapers, or they can have an abstract, unobtrusive design. In the first case, large “live” flowers are placed on one of the walls, leaving the remaining surfaces monochromatic. The second option allows for the possibility of completely covering the surface with wallpaper, provided the color is subtle.

And yet, despite its beauty and attractiveness, color motifs more appealing to women's bedrooms. However, no one thought to forget about men, creating stylish striped and checkered wallpaper. A vertical strip of contrasting shades visually elongates the room, while the check creates an English and Scottish style.

Another popular subspecies are wallpaper with monograms. The patterns on them are repeated with a certain pattern. Since they can be made in classic and modern themes, it is safe to say that there is a wallpaper for every style. At the same time, large monograms are suitable only for spacious bedrooms, because like any other large pattern, they tend to reduce space. And when choosing this option, it is important to correlate it with the furniture, remembering that bright and designer furniture will look better on barely noticeable wallpaper with monograms and vice versa.

How to combine with the interior?

The combination of wallpaper with the interior is an important point in performing the perfect renovation. It is not for nothing that designers strongly recommend deciding on the color of the furniture set before purchasing a covering. However, you can use universal colors. For example, beige and sand shades suit both white furniture and dark sets equally well.

Designers also have characteristic colors for furniture in light and dark colors. So, if the color of the set has a warm chocolate tone, warm colors such as green and brown would be a good choice. If the color of the furniture is close to white, bleached oak and the color of natural wood, a golden shade will be the ideal solution. It is also worth paying attention to wallpaper in white, light green, calm orange and olive shades.

Curtains match the wallpaper taking into account the following principles:

• In tone or tone darker or lighter;
• Beige or white, if the wallpaper has a bright and rich color and pattern;
• With two-color wallpaper, curtains can repeat one of the selected tones;
• A light shade to match the cold and warm color palette of the wallpaper.

When decorating a room with light curtains, designers recommend choosing white tones with a slight blue tint. This little secret will allow you to refresh your bedroom and breathe cleanliness into it, especially if the windows face the sunny side. Experts advise treating patterns on curtains with some caution and not overusing them when wallpapering with images. For plain wall coverings, designs on curtains in the form of geometric stripes and monograms are acceptable.

How to choose?

And yet, even with knowledge of the exact selection criteria, we often doubt whether the wallpaper will suit a particular room. Therefore, it is important to decide for yourself what kind of environment you are trying to create in the bedroom, because even the most attractive wallpaper on the wall may not bring joy if it is not chosen to your liking. Explore the photo catalog of wallpaper and stylish options in interiors to understand what is closer specifically to you and your home.

After accurately understanding your desires, a selection of wallpapers begins. Their choice should take place in a variety of offers, and therefore you should not make a decision by visiting just one store. In addition, you can always study samples and make a selection based on photos on Internet sites.

Keeping in mind the criteria for the right wallpaper for small and spacious bedrooms, smooth and not very smooth walls, high and low ceilings, you can confidently give preference to the chosen option:

• For a teenage boy The best solution would be to exclude rich and aggressive colors, because growing children need to adjust to a calm wave after a hard day. Gray and white photo wallpaper with the image of your favorite football player on one wall or a mystical character, space with numerous planets will be good options for an unusual design.

It is worth saying that for a girl the principle of calm walls is also relevant. Pink and blue pastel colors, gray, beige and lavender with youthful patterns will help create the right mood.

• Besides, for boys and girls of early age The nursery can be decorated in brighter colors, because, according to psychologists, kids draw energy from the environment at home, while teenagers come home to rest. Cars and princesses can be located at the head of the bed.
• In the children's and adult bedrooms You can use different options for gluing, for example, wallpapering in a vertical combination is suitable for increasing the height of the room. In this case, any wallpaper can be selected. Plain and with monograms, they can be repeated at various intervals, which will look even more creative than stripes at equal distances.

• Wallpapers that are the same in texture and similar or matched in pattern are suitable for combination. In order not to make a mistake with their compatibility, it is enough to choose them from one collection of one brand - as a rule, they are available in several colors. Wallpapering using vertical combination can use one simple but very effective technique in its arsenal to increase the height of the ceiling. To do this, one of the vertical stripes must go to the ceiling. It is best if the stripe is close to its color.

Win-win vertical combination options:

• maintaining symmetry when two contrasting dark stripes are opposite each other;
• asymmetry, when one wide contrasting stripe can be opposite several thin stripes;
• transition between colors, when one wall is completely covered with one type of wallpaper, the second has a vertical combination from wide to thin stripes, the third and fourth are completely made in a different tone.

Another possible gluing design method could be horizontal division. A border made of paper or plastic, running horizontally, perfectly expands a small room with high ceilings, for example, in apartments called “Khrushchev-era” apartments. The wallpaper can be the same on the bottom and top parts. Often, the height of the strip is directly related to the height of the window sills, but other options are also possible.

Classic combinations and divisions with horizontal combination in the bedroom:

• the wall one third from the bottom is made of striped wallpaper, wide the upper part is made of plain wallpaper;
• 2/3 – if the lower part is wide, the wallpaper is chosen with a large pattern, but the top remains monochromatic;
• 1/3 – the bottom is made in a small repeating pattern, the top is made of large monograms that match in character.

It is worth noting that other options can be used. For example, in some versions, a horizontal wide strip of bright wallpaper runs down the middle, leaving the bottom and top plain.

Zoning

Zoning with wallpaper – This is the separation of different zones in a room using contrasting colors. Sometimes this technique is the only possible way to highlight zones in the bedroom-living room or children's room. When highlighting zones in the bedroom, stylists recommend limiting them to a small number. For example, in a children's room it could be a desk, and in an adult it could be a dressing room, however, most often the sleeping area is zoned. To implement it, a combination of bright wallpapers with calm ones is allowed.

It is worth remembering that rich colors and prints should not be in sight before bed to prevent insomnia.

The bedside area can stand out with wallpaper with patterns, photo wallpaper with large format printing. To highlight areas such as a dressing table or wardrobe, it is enough to purchase patterned wallpaper that matches the tone of the main color. This will create a holistic view of the room, while dividing it into zones.

Zoning in a children's room can occur in two cases:

• the room is shared by two children of different sexes;
• The room includes a sleeping area, a work area and a play area.

In the first case, contrasting wallpapers are chosen and joined together using a plasterboard partition, which effectively smoothes the transition. In the second case, bright wallpapers are located in the work and play areas, and plain wallpapers are located near the sleeping area. When zoning a bedroom, the key point is its shape and size. So, for a narrow bedroom, typical of the Khrushchev era, it is necessary to carefully consider the design, without turning the room into a tunnel that has no end. Therefore, the wallpaper here should be contrasting. For a rectangular bedroom, long walls are covered with light colors, while others are covered with dark colors. Thus, dark wallpaper attracts all attention, which means the room seems more proportional.

When zoning a narrow bedroom its owners will have to face the fact that they will have to connect several zones in a small space. For this, two types of wallpaper can be used. Dark ones with a pattern are located near the work area against a small wall, light and calm ones are located in the sleeping area. You can also use another technique with three types of wallpaper. The leading and primary color is used to cover the entire space, the second is the sleeping area, the third is the working area, and borders or plastic panels serve as delimiters.

In a square bedroom zoning is easier, however, here too it is important to follow all the basic rules. One of the key recommendations is to divide the room while maintaining its integrity, because in a square room the lack of thought is especially noticeable. Therefore, when gluing white wallpaper on the work area, and blue wallpaper on the bedroom area, you should combine them with the help of accessories. So, blue pillows can be harmoniously placed on the work area chair, and white curtains can decorate the sleeping area.

Fashion trends

Experts admit that a bedroom with a workplace and a wardrobe can be perfectly divided using one type of wallpaper. Here, however, craftsmen recommend adding decorative plaster or liquid wallpaper. The combination of different textures is the trend of this season. So, plain wall coverings cover the work areas, and bright and beautiful wallpaper sits comfortably at the head of the bed. Experts describe this method as concise and win-win.

Modern ideas of bedroom interior designers in 2017 delight with their diversity. Two types of wallpaper or one, or maybe three - everything can look fashionable and attractive if chosen correctly.

The fashionable pages of interior design magazines this year never cease to talk about the use of two colors in the design of bedrooms. The transitions between them can be smooth and clearly defined. Striped walls with lines of varying widths, created from various rolls of wallpaper, look interesting in this option.

Three-color combinations did not go unnoticed by the designers. The number one color on the fashion list is white. It is successfully used as a base tone, diluting it with more saturated, but close to each other colors.

Choosing wallpaper for the bedroom is not easy. But all difficulties can be avoided by knowing what to look for when purchasing. It is important to take into account that nowadays a bedroom is not only a place for sleep, rest and relaxation. This is also a place where you can sit quietly at the computer, book or other activity that brightens up your leisure time. We hope that our article will help you save a lot of time on trips to countless specialized retail stores. After all, simply the abundance of exhibited samples in one room can cause confusion. And hence the purchase of the “wrong” wallpaper, or the absence of a purchase at all.

Types of wallpaper

Wallpaper is probably the most popular material for decorating walls in a house or apartment. Modern collections are so diverse in color, texture and shape that they are suitable for updating almost any room, the bedroom is no exception.

So that you don’t quickly get bored with the updated interior, it is important to choose a coating that will not only be safe, beautiful and durable, but also give the design a certain mood, pleasing the eye with rich, bright colors.

Paper wallpaper

• Some may say that their age is long gone, but this is far from true. Paper wallpapers are still popular because they are environmentally friendly, cheap and versatile. They are easy to glue, but you should definitely pay attention to the fact that they are thin and can tear under the weight of the glue.

It should also be recognized that they are short-lived, afraid of moisture, susceptible to mechanical stress and fade when exposed to sunlight. For those who like to regularly update their interior and are used to re-pasting the wallpaper in the bedroom every 1-2 years, paper wallpaper is exactly what you need.

Vinyl wallpaper

They belong to the middle price category. Dense, durable, subject to wet cleaning, and do not bubble when glued. They are not cheap, but very impressive and will appeal to those buyers who gravitate towards luxury and sophistication. However, they have their drawbacks that you should be aware of.

• One of the disadvantages is the specific smell. This is explained by the fact that they contain styrene and rubber. But don’t be too scared, it will disappear after a short time.
• Another drawback is that this wallpaper is considered vapor-proof. Gluing them is also not easy. Due to the rigidity of the canvas, they take a long time to be saturated with glue, so the gluing process will take some time.

It should be noted that vinyl wallpapers come in non-woven and paper backings. The first ones resemble relief applied foam, the second ones are the so-called silk-screen printing. Both are durable, easy to clean, and resistant to sunlight.

Important! Silk-screen printing is glued to a smooth surface; unevenness and roughness are not for them.

Non-woven wallpaper

Non-woven wallpaper is an environmentally friendly product. They allow air to pass through well and look very elegant. Caring for them is simple - a vacuum cleaner or a damp cloth. They cost more than vinyl ones, but they also have more advantages.

• They have a slightly prominent pattern on a snow-white background, so they are very often taken. After painting, texture plays the main role of the interior.
• withstands more than 10 repaintings. For a long time, you can quickly and inexpensively update your bedroom only with paint.
• They are easy to glue, since only the wall is treated with the composition. The canvases fit together without any difficulties.

Minor flaws on the wall are not a problem for them. However, we should not forget that non-woven fabric is translucent, so the prepared wall must have a uniform surface, without dark spots, otherwise after gluing the wallpaper these places will be visible through.

Textile (fabric-based) wallpaper

• One of the most expensive types of wallpaper. They are natural, environmentally friendly, and “breathe.” They are a roll consisting of several layers. The front side is fabric. It can be linen, velor, cotton, silk, felt and others. The inner side consists of non-woven fabric or paper.

Textile wallpaper is very durable. They look, of course, chic and only by their presence in the bedroom they are able to give positive energy, lift your spirits and relieve tension. Just a century ago, the walls of the palace chambers were covered with fabric.

However, they also have weaknesses. Such wallpaper must be glued with extreme caution so that not a drop of glue gets on it. In addition, fabric wallpaper quickly becomes dirty, accumulates dust and can only be dry cleaned. The sun's rays also have a negative impact. And what is important, textile wallpaper has a considerable cost.

Textile-based wallpaper is an ideal option for a classic bedroom interior

Liquid wallpaper

• This is still a newcomer to the wallpaper market, but it already has its own buyer. The main difference from ordinary wallpaper is that these are not rolls, but a special powder that consists of glue, fibers and dye. It is diluted with water and simply applied to the wall.

This wallpaper can be compared to artistic plaster, since threads, paper, tinsel and much more can be added to the solution. They have enough advantages.

• They are environmentally friendly, light-resistant, have good sound insulation, durable, “breathe”, and are easy to repair if damaged.
• Having a creative streak, you can independently create a real artistic canvas on the wall. The price of such wallpaper is becoming more and more affordable.

• The disadvantages include the fact that they cannot be wet cleaned and do not yet have the same color range as roll wallpaper.

Color of the future bedroom

The degree of your relaxation, your sleep pattern, and your mood in general will depend on the color saturation of the bedroom. There is a lot of advice from experts and psychologists on this issue, but only you can decide, since preferences in this matter are quite individual.

It is believed that the most comfortable colors for a bedroom are soft, pastel tones. It can be gray, beige, peach, olive, cream, blue, lilac wallpaper, but in pale shades. It's hard to disagree with this. These tones are enveloping, they can relieve physical and psychological stress after a difficult day.

At the same time, there is no need to rush and buy any color from the specified list. Still, the main criterion is that you like the color! It should not cause rejection either in a month or in a year.

It may also be this: a person favors a light blue tone in clothes, but categorically does not accept this color on the walls. But you will be delighted with the bedroom made in a marine style with striped blue wallpaper, complemented by stylized accessories. Therefore, you must clearly answer the question with which color you are ready to live in “love and harmony” for a long time.

Having a tube of beautiful wallpaper available, it’s easy to create a bright compositional accent and the center of the bedroom

Gray wallpaper is very popular when choosing a color scheme for the bedroom

It is necessary to take into account other important aspects when choosing wallpaper for the bedroom. For example, if the room is small, then preference should be given to light, warm colors. The same should be done if the sun is not a frequent guest in this room.

Advice! The disadvantage of a low ceiling will be corrected by a pattern in the form of vertical stripes on the wallpaper; if the room is narrow, horizontal stripes will help.

• The choice of pattern should also be approached carefully. For example, a small flower will not add charm unless you specifically create a rustic style in the room, which, with a successful combination: walls, floor, furniture, curtains, looks very cozy.

Ideas for beautiful bedroom wall decoration

• Do not forget the different preferences of a married couple. So, the male half will not look very natural in a pink bedroom, and a woman will not be very comfortable, for example, in a checkered room. Here it is important to try to find a middle ground, and it can be a combination of wallpaper that everyone will like.

Wall mirrors are an invariable attribute of the bedroom

Combining wallpaper in the bedroom

This event can solve many problems in the bedroom, but the main thing is that it will bring something into your room, mixing the seemingly unmixable into an unimaginable cocktail. Here colors may appear that are not recommended for use in the bedroom. But, occupying just one wall or corner, they will unobtrusively remind you that life is not a blissful pastoral, but a stormy river in all its diversity.

When combining wallpaper, they often turn to living nature. This can be trees, birds, all kinds of flowers, and even animals. Do you have enough imagination to imagine the long necks of giraffes stretching from the corner into the room? You can come up with your own “zest”, and no one else will have something like this.

As a rule, wallpapers that differ from the general background are placed above the bed, but you can move away from the “classics” and stick them opposite the bed or in other places. Don’t forget, the main thing is not to surprise someone, but to make it comfortable for your eyes.

Zoning with wallpaper is recommended if you not only relax in the bedroom, but, say, like to work at the computer table. Next to it, of course, neutral wallpaper for the bedroom will not contribute to productivity. The problem will be solved by several bright or extravagant paintings. The place will include drawings related to geometry, geography and various abstractions.

Natural materials are also often used in combination. These include: bamboo, veneer, cork, reeds, coconut shells and others. They are especially popular when creating a certain style in the bedroom - African, rural.

The only drawback of this material is that they are not cheap. But they are very durable, environmentally friendly, and easy to maintain. Therefore, if you decide to purchase natural material, you will not regret it, the room will be original and cozy.

Important! The bedroom will be beautiful if no more than three shades of wallpaper are used when combining, otherwise you can easily find yourself in the zone of tackiness and bad taste. You will never lose if you choose wallpaper of related tones, similar in texture and material thickness.

Black geometric patterns on a light background are a fashion trend for minimalist interiors

Color harmony for wallpaper, furniture, curtains

Making your bedroom a color you like is only half the battle. It is important to create a harmonious combination of all interior items.

If you leave the same furniture that was before the renovation, then the wallpaper for the bedroom should be selected in the appropriate shade so that they do not discord with each other.

• Dark furniture will match the warm color of the wallpaper.
• Light furniture will go well with green, sand or chocolate wallpaper.
• Gray furniture will look great against a copper or olive background.
• If the room is not small, then you can play with contrasts.

The same recommendations apply if you purchase new furniture for an already renovated bedroom. And we should not forget that the role of an “arbiter” can be played by curtains or curtains, placing their color on one of the sides - wallpaper or furniture, or on both sides at the same time.

The whole beige room will look stylish: furniture, wallpaper, curtains, and bed linen. But to avoid boredom, you can add two or three bright accessories that stand out from the general palette.

Important! For elaborate, elegant furniture, choose wallpaper that is expensive in quality and appearance. For example, burgundy with gilding will not match furniture in.

Now you know what types of wallpapers there are, you know their pros and cons. How to choose a color and combine it is also not a secret to you. All you have to do is, taking into account our advice, choose what you like. Don’t be afraid to experiment, don’t be afraid to break out of the “like everyone else” cohort, especially if you have developed taste and a voluminous imagination.

If you choose wallpaper for your bedroom in an online store, keep in mind that the monitor will not be able to thoroughly convey to you either their color or texture. In this case, be sure to consult with the specialist who sells them. It’s better to go to the store to buy clothes for your walls and choose them directly there. Happy and beautiful shopping!

Wallpaper for a small bedroom plays an important role; how comfortable it will be to stay and sleep in it will depend on the color and pattern. Khrushchev buildings, dormitories and old-style apartments rarely boast spacious rooms; simple wall decoration techniques will help “stretch” a narrow bedroom and adjust the low height, while maintaining its comfort and unique style.

Rules for choosing wallpaper to visually enlarge a room

There are a number of ways to visually enlarge a room. In order to choose any of the options, you need to decide which of the parameters of the bedroom you are not satisfied with and would like to increase. However, the general rules remain unchanged and will help expand the boundaries of not only the bedroom, but also any other room.

• Wallpaper with vertical or horizontal stripes visually stretches and expands the space of a small bedroom,
• the lighter the tone of the finish, the more spacious the small room seems; white and blue colors cope especially well with this task,
• Photo wallpaper with a perspective will visually increase the area of ​​a small bedroom, for example a road receding into the distance,
• in a small room without windows, photo wallpaper with a picture of an open window and artificial daylight will help get rid of the feeling of enclosed space,
• in a small bedroom located on the north side, it is better to use warm-colored wallpaper for decoration; they make up for the lack of sunlight.

What wallpaper color is better to choose?

Everyone knows the rule: light colors make a small bedroom feel more spacious. However, this does not mean that the walls in the room should be exclusively white. Delicate shades will be the best solution for creating a comfortable design. Colors such as beige, sky blue, light grey, cream or sand will refresh the interior or make it warmer without sacrificing precious square footage.

Which shade to choose depends on the location of the room, more precisely on which side the windows face and how bright the lighting is in the room. Also, a small bedroom does not mean the absence of bright colors and large patterns; an accent wall or a fragment of it will add color to the bedroom interior.

For a dark bedroom

The lack of light in a small bedroom can be compensated with the help of artificial lighting, mirrors and the right color of wallpaper. The finishing should be in a light palette, and the priority colors are warm shades, sand, light yellow, beige, light green. These colors will fill a small room with warm colors and will be associated with the sun's rays.

For a bright bedroom

A light bedroom has more possibilities; you can use bright elements in it, but it is better to choose the main tone that is also light, but cold. Blue, gray, white, mint. These shades will refresh the bedroom by maintaining the balance of light.

What design or pattern should I choose to increase space?

The design of a small bedroom will be equally successful with plain wallpaper and patterned coverings, the main thing is to choose it correctly.

• If the decoration of a small bedroom will be completely done with one type of wallpaper, then it is better to choose a small pattern,
• Three-dimensional images should be used to decorate only one of the walls of a small room,
• for a small room with a high ceiling, horizontal stripes or patterns would be a good option; they will “push apart” the walls,
• you need to take into account the future design of the room; if you plan to fill the interior with bright details and textiles, then you should choose plain wallpaper.

Large drawing or ornament

You can decorate one of the walls of a small bedroom with three-dimensional images and ornaments. This could be the head of the bed, the wall behind the TV, or a randomly selected area. It is better to decorate the rest of the bedroom with light, plain wallpaper or with a small, nondescript pattern.

This method helps to focus attention on one of the walls, making it voluminous. In a very small room, a large pattern may occupy only a small part of the wall, however, it will still be noticeable. The image should match the style of the room and reflect its mood.

Flowers and plants

Plant and flower themes look good in a delicate and romantic interior.

For a small room, bright designs with rich shades are not prohibited; such wallpaper can be combined with other, calmer finishing methods, such as bleached brick, plaster or plain wallpaper.

Texture

Textured wallpaper enlarges a small space due to its irregularities.

In the photo, shiny gold details on the wall create the illusion of a three-dimensional surface and make a small room larger due to its reflective properties.

The light falling on the relief forms a “play of shadows,” thereby adding volume to a small room. Textured wallpaper goes well with other images and finishing methods.

Striped

Stripes help with the visual adjustment of a small space; depending on their direction, the room appears taller or wider.

In order to “stretch out” a small bedroom with low ceilings, wallpaper with a vertical pattern is suitable; even light stripes will change the perception.

The same technique is used for narrow walls in a rectangular room; the wider the strip, the stronger the visual effect.

Photo wallpaper in the interior of a small bedroom

Photo wallpaper can be a salvation for a small room. Visual techniques can significantly change the perception of space. The most effective technique is photo wallpaper with a perspective picture, that is, the image moves away into the distance, thereby creating the illusion of another space that opens up to the eye.

Volumetric objects, such as a highway, city view or bridge, due to the contrast of scale, make a small bedroom appear larger. And a blurry image, such as a foggy landscape, acts on the subconscious, painting a picture beyond it.

3d wallpaper

The realistic three-dimensional image fascinates with its scale. The space of a small room becomes more voluminous, as if removing a wall.

The drawing can correspond to different styles; for the classical direction it can be an image of voluminous columns or flowers; for the modern style, abstraction or a view of the metropolis is suitable, and for Provence, lavender fields and a view from the window of the French village.

Wallpaper design by style

Modern

To decorate a small bedroom in a modern style, you can choose wallpaper with geometric patterns, stripes, wallpaper with photo printing or with an imitation of some material, such as brickwork or wood panels.

You can also use different colors of plain wallpaper; contrasting stripes create volume. For an interior in the style of hi-tech and minimalism, the use of functional furniture, beds with built-in wardrobes, spacious chests of drawers and compact lamps is suitable.

Provence

Romantic Provence is most often made in light colors. Wallpaper with imitation plaster, painted brickwork, or a small floral pattern will look good.

Using photo wallpaper, you can highlight the area above the head of the bed, thereby decorating it and marking the central point in a small room. In a Provence interior, light pastel colors, mint, pink, white, light purple, blue and peach will look harmonious.

Classic

For a classic style in a small bedroom, you should choose calm and restrained colors. Floral patterns, monograms, plaster effect or stripes will look harmonious.

The color of the patterns should not stand out from the overall tone; the pattern can be complemented with shiny details, such as a gold or silver border.

Loft

The stylish loft design is filled with a variety of textures. Even in a small room, wood, brick and concrete can be combined.

A small room is not a reason to refuse a variety of contents. Using a light palette or a contrast of dark and light, you can combine bleached brick and an unevenly plastered wall, cold concrete and wooden panels even in a small bedroom. Wallpaper that imitates these effects significantly saves space.

Scandinavian style

Minimalistic and laconic interior, not overloaded with unnecessary details. Finishing and filling are done in light colors. Wallpaper can have either realistic images of forests, alpine mountains or wooden panels, or a fine pattern.

How to combine wallpapers for visual expansion?

Contrasting colors and textures can make a small room feel bigger. Decorating one of the walls with bright wallpaper visually attracts it.

Using plain wallpaper in two different colors, you can create volume in a small room, creating the illusion of a play of light and depth of space.

Wallpaper companions also help to focus attention on one of the walls in a small room.

Features of choosing wallpaper for low ceilings in the bedroom

The best way to make a small room taller is to decorate it with wallpaper with vertical patterns.

These can be stripes, floral or floral patterns, located in the direction from the floor to the ceiling, photo wallpaper with a picture tending upward, or wallpaper with a gradient effect from dark to light.

Wallpaper design ideas for narrow bedrooms

For small, narrow bedrooms, the same techniques apply, only they work in reverse. Patterns and images should not be positioned vertically, but horizontally, thereby expanding the wall.

Wide stripes can frame one or more walls; wallpaper with an abstract image, a clear horizon line or corner wallpaper will help to visually enlarge a small, narrow bedroom.

A small bedroom can also be stylish and comfortable. A competent combination of finishing, furniture and decor creates a cozy room in which you want to be, and the variety of choices allows you to choose the ideal option for yourself. Below are photo examples of small bedrooms decorated with wallpaper.

To do this, you need the entire environment and interior to be conducive to relaxation. The smallest details are very important in such a design. What can we say about wallpaper? They play one of the most important roles in creating a harmonious interior.

Material

There are many wallpaper options available these days. Therefore, it is very important to decide on the end result and personal preferences.

The most common types:

• Paper
• Vinyl
• Non-woven
• Textile
• Fiberglass
• Photo wallpaper
• Liquid wallpaper

The simplest wallpaper option is paper. The cost is low, but the quality is not at the highest level. Their most significant advantage after price is the environmental material. They also have a rich color palette.

However, such wallpaper quickly fades when exposed to sunlight. Therefore, the service life of paper wallpaper is short. If you like to change your interior design often and not spend a lot of money on it, then this option is the most suitable.

Vinyl wallpaper are made from a denser material than paper. However, they should be glued to leveled walls. And the gluing itself will not be the easiest process. Vinyl wallpaper is classified as synthetic. They do not allow air to pass through.

After sticking them on the wall, an unpleasant odor remains in the room, which will finally disappear after a long period of time. Wallpaper can be made on paper or non-woven backing. The latter have a beautiful relief pattern and are easy to glue.

A more expensive option is non-woven wallpaper. Their distinctive property is their ability to stretch. This is due to the fact that they are made from soft material (cellulose fibers).

Non-woven wallpaper is easy to glue, since the glue is applied only to the walls. Also, due to their sufficient thickness, they are easily joined at the edges without forming bubbles. Main advantages: ability to pass air, environmental friendliness of the material, variety in colors. Some non-woven wallpapers are painted. Due to the dense material, it can be repainted up to fifteen times.

Textile type of wallpaper most often used to create a certain style. They can be produced either on a paper basis or on a non-woven basis. But the top layer, which serves as decor, is much more diverse: silk, linen, cotton, synthetics. The choice and color range is varied.

An important feature of synthetic-based fabric wallpaper is that it has excellent soundproofing properties. Fabric wallpaper looks very rich and elegant. The negative points include the following: they accumulate dust, are not resistant to water, and are also high in price.

Fiberglass. Such wallpaper is made from environmentally friendly material: molten glass stretched into threads, or from quartz sand. This composition also includes soda and lime. There are many advantages of using such wallpaper: durable material, can be washed with water, breathable, easy to stick to the wall. The only obvious disadvantage is the high price.

Liquid wallpaper Perfect for hiding obvious unevenness in the wall. Apply with an ordinary spatula. Easily washed off.

Wallpaper color

It is important to pay attention to the color scheme. Both the interior itself and the feelings that the pasted wallpaper can evoke depend on this.

White wallpaper will look great in any interior. Pairs perfectly with other colors. The most common way to use white is in combination with black. White wallpaper evokes feelings of airiness, cleanliness and freshness. This color visually expands the room.

Don't think that white is the only option. The variety of its shades from pearl to milky can diversify the entire design. White wallpaper is used in classic, Scandinavian or minimalist style.

Gray wallpaper color leads to many mixed feelings. On the one hand, it’s dull and dull, on the other, a calm background relaxes and helps you get a good night’s sleep. Gray wallpaper can highlight other bright interior details.

It is believed that green color and its shades perfect for the bedroom. This color has a beneficial effect on the mental state. For the bedroom, green wallpaper is best combined with blue, pink or yellow colors. Green will also visually increase the area of ​​the room.

Beige color chosen by people who prefer a calm interior. This color can not only relax, but also promotes creative impulse. To prevent the walls from looking boring, they should be diluted with other colors.

Beige wallpapers combine beautifully with black ones. However, you should not give preference to dark shades that are repeated too often. This will make the room seem gloomy. A chic option would be to combine beige with gold. Such an ensemble will attract attention, and will glow beautifully under the sun's rays.

Black wallpaper in the bedroom they will look elegant, luxurious and a little mystical. The main thing is to diversify such a room with additional elements. Designers do not recommend gluing black wallpaper to those who were afraid of the dark in childhood, or who are often depressed. Such a range will worsen the mood even more.

If everything is in order with this, then black wallpaper will contribute to normal sleep not only at night, but also during the daytime.

Brown walls are most often appropriate in large bedrooms. Light furniture can diversify a dark atmosphere, as well as proper lighting, which should be bright.

It is generally accepted that pink Suitable for girls only. But this is far from true. When properly combined with other interior items such as furniture, curtains, paintings, and so on, you can get a very harmonious design for the newlyweds’ bedroom.

If the bedroom is made for a girl, then this color with its many shades will transform the room beyond recognition. It is better to choose wallpaper with a pattern.

Red itself is very dangerous. Excessive saturation can cause fatigue or aggression. It is best to combine red wallpaper with white or beige. Also, with this color of the walls, you should choose furniture in light shades.

Yellow evokes a feeling of joy and goodwill. Easily invigorates after a night's sleep. When combined with beige or white, you can get a very interesting interior. It’s not for nothing that this color is used in hospitals. After all, it can relax and set the mood for the whole day.

Pattern and texture

The drawing directly affects our perception of the interior as a whole. Most often, wallpapers with the following patterns are chosen:

• Floral ornament. Suitable for creating an atmosphere of romance. Most often, such wallpaper is used in vintage or English style. To prevent such an interior from seeming feminine, you can combine the pattern with other patterns, such as stripes or a simple check.
• More suitable for men's bedroom wallpaper with a pattern in the form of a checkered or striped pattern. Designers recommend gluing this type of wallpaper on the side of the bed.
• Geometric patterns, animals and plants would be appropriate for wallpaper in a classic or art deco style.
• Best suited for bedroom embossed texture. As a rule, it imitates such noble fabrics as velvet and corduroy. With such wallpaper, the bedroom is filled with home comfort and is conducive to relaxation.

Combined wallpaper

It has become fashionable to combine wallpaper in the interior. This technique is used for several reasons:

• Helps to highlight zones in the room. If the bedroom is also used as a workplace, then wallpaper can perfectly divide the space into zones.
• Hides some imperfections. Not everyone is lucky with the right layout. Sometimes elements such as protrusions of heating risers or niches can spoil the mood when staying in such a room. Combining wallpaper will help emphasize other areas of the bedroom. Or, on the contrary, you can make imperfections the highlight of the room, highlighting them with a bright accent in the form of wallpaper.
• The main emphasis is placed. When there is a need to highlight one of the walls, this technique is most successful. You can use photo wallpapers, the variety of which is now very large.

Combination of wallpaper with other interior items

Every attribute in the room plays a role in the correct and complete perception of the interior. Therefore, many try to choose the most advantageous combination of curtains and wallpaper. In order not to make a mistake, you must adhere to some selection rules.

Curtains to match the wallpaper. The most optimal and common option. But you should not choose completely one color. This way the curtains will merge with the walls. It is enough to choose a tone lighter or darker to make the bedroom seem cozy.

If the wallpaper has a catchy pattern, then the curtains should be selected in neutral tones. It is not recommended to hang braid or lambrequin on curtains. With this choice, the emphasis will be on the walls.

When the wallpaper has a monochromatic, calm color, you need to hang bright and catchy curtains. This way you can avoid despondency in the bedroom interior. Just keep in mind that this technique will be appropriate with the right combination of wallpaper and curtain colors.

The most convenient option is white curtains. Pairs perfectly with any wallpaper in various interior styles. The only obvious drawback will be that such curtains need to be washed very often.

Some people believe that the bedspread and wallpaper should match. However, this is far from the case. To diversify the interior, many designers advise choosing patterned bedspreads with plain walls.

It is necessary to decide what the main emphasis will be on. If on a bed, then it is better to choose a brightly colored bedspread. If the bed fades into the background, then it is better to choose a bedspread in the same shades as the wallpaper.

Photo wallpaper in bedroom design

With the advent of photo wallpaper, it has become much easier to highlight a wall in a room. Such wallpaper can be on any theme and in any shade. This could also be your own photograph. It is customary to glue photo wallpaper to only one wall.

In addition, no unnecessary items such as cabinets and tall chests of drawers should be placed near the designated wall. Otherwise you will end up with a very awkward interior.

Today, photo wallpapers can depict any image: cities, nature, landscapes, plants, animals, people and so on. It all depends on your personal mood and preference. Photo wallpapers are easy to glue and can also be washed if dirty.

Wallpaper for a small bedroom

Those who have a small bedroom should not be upset. You can completely harmoniously and tastefully create a modern and cozy interior. In addition, there will be much less consumable materials, which will allow you to choose higher quality and more expensive wallpaper.

Designers have always advised and continue to do so by gluing light-colored wallpaper in small rooms. This will visually increase the space and improve the lighting. It is better to avoid any loud or flashy designs. The most suitable option for such a bedroom would be non-woven or liquid wallpaper.

Wallpaper for a teenager's bedroom

When choosing wallpaper for a teenager’s room, you should focus not only on the environmental friendliness of the material, but also on the color scheme. Excessively flashy and bright wallpaper will not contribute to healthy sleep and comfortable rest. Wallpaper with a pattern would look appropriate in such a room. Children always look at the patterns on the walls with curiosity.

When choosing wallpaper, you should also take into account the character of the teenager. If he is temperamental, then it is best to give preference to cold, but not dark shades. If the child is more phlegmatic by nature, then feel free to hang wallpaper in warm colors. If a teenager is lazy enough, then it is recommended to choose moderately bright wallpaper.
