When decorating one of the wall surfaces of the hall with wallpaper with a different pattern or shade, this place immediately turns into a focal point, captivating the eyes of those present. At the same time, the likelihood of some flaw in the room being noticed decreases. And the more the wallpaper in the desired part of the room attracts attention with its brightness, the less chance there is for the surface with the defect to be “exposed”. Visual effects. Here, the play of shades of different colors and their psychological influence on a person is usually used. This technique is usually used in halls whose shape is more inclined to an elongated rectangular or square. In the first case, light-colored wallpaper is pasted on oblong ones, and short wall surfaces are made a little darker. In a square room, one wall is pasted with wallpaper of a more saturated color than the others. To visually increase the area of small living rooms, wallpaper with a delicate pastel background is used. Fig. 1. Hall zoning. Sometimes the interior design of the living room must accommodate several functional parts. For example, quite often the area of the hall includes a kitchen, bedroom and even a hallway. In this situation, wallpaper with different patterns and shades comes in handy. To delimit the rooms, you can use quite bold combinations. The latter are largely determined by the intention to highlight and accentuate a certain area. The variation of wallpaper will also depend on whether stationary or mobile partitions will be installed. Or they strive to achieve separation solely through color and lighting. For example, the separation of the hall and kitchen space is achieved by combining two types of wallpaper: plain wallpaper in the kitchen and wallpaper with a floral motif in the dining area. Fig. 2

The technique of accentuating the wall surface is considered classic when . Usually, only one accent wall is made in the hall, but often two opposite sides or two combined walls are accented. Naturally, the accent wall stands out significantly from the others. The wallpaper on it can have a more saturated color scheme than on other surfaces. It can be decorated with wallpaper with large elements (plant, geometric, abstract, and others) or a pattern. The consonant element in this version of wallpaper combination is usually the same shade. Focal point. The difference between the focal point and the previous technique is that it is not located on the entire wall, but only on a certain area of it.

You can highlight not the entire area with contrasting wallpaper,and some element, for example, a fireplace. Wallpaper without a pattern with different shades of one color This option will be optimal for lovers of discreet interiors with monochrome walls. In this variation, one or more wall surfaces are made somewhat more saturated in color than the rest. Most often, various shades of pale blue, gray, as well as sand and ivory are varied. Combination of one tone with patterns The classic option is considered to be a combination of striped covering with material with floral motifs. A floral pattern looks great in combination with a pattern similar to wood texture. Abstract elements "get along" well with cubes, stripes and other geometric shapes. This method of combination is the most dangerous, it should be approached with caution. Combination of different color solutions
Combination of vertical and horizontalstripes technique is quite complicated, so it requires experience in its implementation. Here you need to adhere to the following rule: active colors are combined with neutral ones. Experiments with contrasting colors in decoration are acceptable if we are talking about creating a youth or simply bright interior. It is not bad to use this option when dividing the space into several zones. If we are talking about vertical combination, then it becomes important to choose canvases of the same width and texture. This combination option is perfect for "Khrushchev" apartments, since it allows you to give the room space. In this case, you can choose one of two ways: take several contrasting types of canvases or choose a material in the same color scheme and make transitions between different shades. Separation of wall surfaces in horizontal execution
Standard wallpaper combination schemerectangular in the room. The somewhat boring and prioritized trinity in the decoration of post-Soviet living room spaces - "striped wallpaper - border - wallpaper with a pattern" - is still worthy of being successfully used in decorating. But there are also other, less hackneyed, options for horizontal demarcation of wall surfaces with a border. For example, when dark-colored wallpaper is placed below the border, and lighter-colored wallpaper is placed above. This technique is appropriate for a hall with the correct configuration; it fits into many stylistic trends - from classical to modern art deco. When dividing the wall surface with moldings, one type of wallpaper will play the role of a panel, which is often used in the classics. Alternating several types of canvases up to the ceiling is considered a bolder solution. Combination of different patterns This method is applicable when the size of the hall is favorable and the owners want to decorate the room in an unusual way. The tandem of floral motifs and stripes, plant ornaments and flowers pleases the eye. There are many options for combining wallpaper. But some are simpler (for example, using wallpaper with similar shades), others require certain knowledge and skills. For independent execution, it is better to choose those that you can handle without a designer.
