Photo wallpapers in different rooms of the house
Scheme for gluing wallpaper in corners.A successful combination of colors and patterns will help to visually expand the space in the hallway. A wardrobe decorated with photo wallpaper can become a bright accent. Since the hallway in most apartments initially lacks natural light sources, it is better to choose light shades of finishing materials for it. At the same time, both wallpaper and photo wallpaper can be pasted not only on the walls, but also on furniture, which will give the hallway a unique look. For example, you can choose bright photo wallpaper that imitates the view from the window or balcony, and choose the appropriate background wallpaper for it, matching the color of the main tone of the furniture.

At the same time, bed linen, matched to the tone of the finishing materials and repeating their pattern, will add even more harmony. It is very important to pay attention to where the bedroom windows face. For example, it is better to choose cold tones of materials for the sunny side. Wallpaper with a three-dimensional pattern is perfect for the southern and eastern sides of the apartment: sea, beach, park, forest. Correctly selected materials for the living room will help to create an atmosphere in the room. The use of urban patterns with contrasting background wallpaper is very fashionable today. An equally attractive option is a floral theme, for example, a vertical pattern of flowers and background wallpaper that matches the overall interior and emphasizes the color scheme of the photo.
