Wallpaper is the simplest and most affordable way of finishingwalls. However, their choice is so great, and fashion is so changeable, that it is often difficult for a buyer to make a decision. We asked professional designers for advice. Today, there is wallpaper for every taste on the market - from neutral plain wallpaper to designer photo wallpaper. Collections are updated very often, so stores are ready to satisfy any customer needs. Today, we asked designers what patterns and designs are most popular with their customers and what interiors they are suitable for. Small pattern and abstraction This is the most common interior design option for those who prefer a discreet, calm and restrained style. Such wallpaper is pasted over the entire room, without highlighting individual elements. Contrasting elements look great against their background: borders, furniture, accessories. A small pattern very quickly becomes familiar to the eye, so over time you stop noticing the circles, flowers, and waves on the wallpaper. But when looking at wallpaper with an abstract pattern, it is usually difficult to determine what is depicted on it - either streaks, or spots, or brush strokes. They do not have a specific rapport (the step of repeating elements), so they can be pasted in any order. Such wallpaper is widely used in modern interiors for creative individuals. The pattern can be not only printed, but also convex, and velvety, and rough, or, conversely, smooth to the touch. However, with any, even small, pattern, you need to be extremely careful and, as designers advise, first take a good look. Olga Valle, interior designer, psychologist: - The main rule for choosing wallpaper with prints or patterns is to look at them from different sides, and then look with an unfocused gaze. There is such a psychological phenomenon: "figure - background". The most famous example is a cup standing on a dark background. If you look at it for a long time, instead of a cup you can see two dark profiles facing each other. Wallpaper prints can play the same joke, when a simple pattern is folded into unexpected shapes that evoke unnecessary associations. Remember how in childhood we folded bizarre faces from wallpaper patterns. Be sure to remember this when choosing wallpaper with a pattern. citidesign.pro Olga Valle also recommends using smaller patterns in small rooms, because the smaller the pattern, the more spacious the room seems. Accordingly, wallpaper with a large pattern is best used either in small quantities (on one wall) or in a spacious room with high ceilings.
Geometry and stripes Wallpaper with geometricWallpaper with a pattern and stripes have magical qualities in the visual transformation of the interior, so they are a lifesaver for many projects. Thus, a vertical stripe makes the room visually higher, and a horizontal one - wider. At the same time, the stripe fits perfectly into almost any interior style. Striped wallpaper is perfectly combined with wallpaper of other colors and highlights or hides some of the advantages or disadvantages. But a geometric pattern can give the room dynamics and set the rhythm, becoming the main interior accent. You should not use wallpaper with a geometric pattern in bright interiors. Natalia Korol, interior designer: - Any wallpaper pattern will fit into an interior done in a modern style: geometry, animal symbols, imitation of various surfaces, etc. However, it is important to remember that for wallpaper with a bright and rich print, it is better to choose only one accent wall, otherwise it will "press" and risks quickly becoming boring. But bright and unusual prints can be safely used in rooms where you are not so often - in corridors, bathrooms and dressing rooms. korol-design.ru
Plant pattern Very relevant andA fashionable pattern at all times is a plant one. And you shouldn’t think that it has to be a floral print. It can depict leaves, stems, grass, shells, butterflies, fruits and any elements found in nature. Most often, such wallpapers are produced in calm shades and are perfect for interiors in the Provence style. Although everyone’s favorite floral pattern will also be appropriate in a classic style. Olga Valle, interior designer, psychologist: — The theme of prints or patterns should always match the style of the interior. Stripes, heraldic lilies, and checks will suit a classic interior; small flowers, light ornaments, plant motifs will suit the Provence style, and geometric shapes and stripes will suit the Art Deco style. citidesign.pro
Timeless classics For classicsinteriors were, remain and will be relevant at all times characteristic prints in the form of monograms, curls, medallions, intertwined in the form of a complex pattern. Such wallpapers can have an additional shine, have a spraying and look appropriate among complex draperies and antique furniture.
Art and photo wallpapers are becoming increasingly popularbegan to collect wallpaper in the pop art style, as well as wallpaper with a print of any selected drawing or photograph. They make it possible to make the interior non-standard, bright and expressive. The downside is that such a bright print can quickly become boring and stop causing a wow effect in the owners.
Loft style wallpaper New and already establishedpopular style of wall decoration with wallpaper - imitation wood paneling. This option is much more profitable than natural wood, while it is convenient to use and quickly implemented during construction. Victoria Vlasova, designer, owner of an interior boutique: - Such wallpaper has become an excellent replacement for natural wood paneling. The non-woven base of the wallpaper allows you to significantly shorten the process of finishing the walls and make it quick and easy. By the way, the images in each roll of this wallpaper are not repeated, which makes the interior truly individual. victoriavlasova.ru
Patchwork wallpaper Fashionable, original, bright,An interesting and contrasting style of wall decoration is patchwork. The patchwork style allows you to use wallpaper of different colors, prints and patterns, creating a variety of designs. But there are pitfalls here too - not all wallpaper scraps will look organically together and create a single interior image.
The choice of wallpaper today is wide and varied,therefore, you need to focus on the interior style, the effect that you plan to create and, of course, the budget. And some more practical advice - from interior designer Elena Tikhonova. Elena Tikhonova, interior designer Elena graduated from the Higher School of Environmental Design.
