The same wallpaper can look quite different in different interiors. Using the prepared fragments or samples, you should estimate for greater clarity, as will look a certain type of wallpaper in the living room. Back to contents</a> Color selection The scheme of a combination of colors in the interior. The color solution for the decor of the main hall is chosen in accordance with natural light. For a poorly lit space, you should avoid gloomy cold tones. They are best reserved for rooms located in the southern part of the house. In northern rooms, it makes sense to apply the finish in a warm tone, which will make up for the lack of sunlight and heat. It should be noted that the darkness on the walls space visually robbed, and the brightness of the color, on the contrary, it expands. This feature is important to consider when choosing a finish for the walls of a small living room. No doubt, color combinations in no small measure affect the mood of each person.

Striped wallpaper. They are applied as lines with clear boundaries of different widths, as well as strips with blurred edges. Here it is important to know that the strips vertically raise the ceiling visually, but "eat up" space in the volume. Horizontally directed lines of the wall move apart, but lower the ceiling.

With an image. The image can be anything: from floral motifs to various fairy-tale characters on the wallpaper for the children's room. It is important to consider the dimension and the size of objects. Densely arranged and large objects of space visually reduce, because their use is more justified in spacious and well-lit living rooms.

A large ornament can be represented likeseparate color spots or can be made like an animal print (under a giraffe, a tiger, a cheetah). Also, it is more suitable for a free living room, otherwise it will create a depressing impression. A shallow pattern (spots), the points will fit into any interior. From a distance they look like monophonic. Mask minor surface defects. Back to contents</a> Billing selection For gluing of smooth wallpaper you need to carefullylevel the walls.
