The living room is the soul of any home. It hosts guests, holds family celebrations, gathers every day for dinner to exchange news and share impressions. The living room is the most visited room in the house. She sets the mood for the whole house, so the desire to make her beautiful, cozy and comfortable is quite understandable. 
With the help of properly selected wallpaper, you can revitalize even the most boring interior of the room.
We try to combine
The room can be furnished with an expensive luxuriousfurniture, decorate with decor items, but all this will be lost against the background of faded walls. Combining wallpaper will help to revitalize the space, make the main room of the house cozy. Thinking over the design, experts have long been using such a technique as a combination of wallpapers of different colors, styles and textures. When developing a design, you need to correctly choose the main color, and then select. 
Picture 1. In a spacious living room with high ceilings will look good dark wallpaper with a large pattern. When making a choice, one should follow several basic rules. Do not fall into the "extremes", that is, choose radically opposite colors - white and black. A room with dark walls will seem gloomy, white wallpapers are impractical. Even insignificant pollution will be immediately noticeable. The choice of colors depends on the area of the living room. The smaller it is, the lighter its walls must be. In a spacious room with high ceilings, the walls may be darker (1). As for the patterns, it is better to choose small drawings for a small room. In a spacious room, the wallpaper with a large pattern will look harmonious. The main condition is not to use the same tapestries with different patterns. The best solution will be the combination of monochrome and patterned patterns, dark with lighter ones. Thinking over the design of the living room, you should take into account, on which side of the world its windows come out. "Northern" room, with a small amount of light, should be covered with wallpaper of light colors. They can be beige, golden, cream, lemon. If the living room is located on the sunny side of the house, its walls can have a blue, gray, green tint. 
Figure 2. Wallpaper with a horizontal arrangement of strips can change the mood of the living room, add warmth and coziness. Add an atmosphere of dynamism and energy will help wallpaper saturated colors: burgundy, blue, purple. However, it should be remembered that a combination of them is possible only with calmer tones. There is one more important nuance. If there are difficulties with the selection of wallpaper and their distribution around the room, you can try to highlight the living area. For example, highlight the dining area and resting place. If the dining table will stand near the window, then the walls can be in bright saturated or light colors. In the opposite side of the room, where the rest area, contrasting shades should be used. The lighter in the dining area, the darker you can make a corner for relaxation. If a bright palette is chosen for the dining corner, then the place for relaxation should be pasted with pastel shades. Back to contents</a>
Striped Living Room
Figure 3. It will be interesting to look at a combination of a monophonic wall with a light fine pattern. When designing the wallpaper design for the living room, you can use the "multi-colored zebra" style. Different colors are suitable for this. The main condition - the width and texture should be the same. The combination of vertical bands looks good in small rooms. This pattern allows you to visually "lift" the space. Alternation can be performed through one or two bands. It is easy to combine different shades of the same color. For example, to arrange beige strips with coffee, light blue with blue, terracotta with brown. The room decorated in this style looks elegant and noble. Add room personality and style will help the alternation of more contrasting colors: white and black stripes, red and green, yellow and blue. Combined solutions can be more bold. In the "quiet" version, this can be a combination of a floral pattern with strips of the same color. For a more dynamic variant is characterized by alternation of different patterns: small flowers with large or geometric shapes of different sizes. The arrangement of the bands horizontally can change the mood of the living room, add warmth and coziness (2). For this, tapestries of different texture can be used: textile and bamboo, vinyl and non-woven. The main condition is the use of bands of the same width. You can place them through one or the same bottom of the wall, paste a pair of stripes, and in the rest of the space use contrasting colors. 
Figure 4. The combination of coffee color with beige looks beautiful and elegant. For the classical version is typical: the bottom of the wall is dark, and the upper part is light. The monophonic material perfectly combines: gray, green, brown flowers with cream, beige, light yellow and pale pink. It will be interesting to look at the dark monophonic bottom of the wall and the light top with a fine pattern (3). One color can be combined well, but different shades: a dark green leaf with a green, a coffee with a beige, a green strip with small flower patterns (4). Care should be taken to combine horizontal strips in living rooms of small size. It is best to use a combination of dark and light colors. Thanks to this the living room will not seem lower. Dark wallpaper with large patterns can be used in spacious rooms. Back to contents</a>
Competent combination - a beautiful result
Only one stroke can change the moodroom. Such a touch can be the design of walls with combined wallpaper. Thinking over the design of the living room, you should pay attention to this method: the use of monochrome wallpaper throughout the room, except for one wall. It should be pasted with wallpaper of a different texture or a contrasting hue. So you can isolate one of the zones, for example, lunch or for rest. Often the masters of combination use in their practice "patchwork", which allows a combination of different colors. On one wall there may be segments of red, blue, green. However, you need to make sure that it does not look chaotic. Glue pieces better strips or stick to a chess order. Elegance and refinement in the design will add individual wallpaper inserts. They can be distributed throughout the room or left only on one wall. If the second option is selected, then the molding should be placed along the perimeter.
