Patterns wallpapers: trends and advice on choosing

Wallpaper is the easiest and most affordable way to finishwalls. However, their choice is so great, and fashion is so changeable that it is often difficult for a buyer to decide. We turned to professional designers for advice. Today, there are wallpapers on the market for every taste - from neutral monochromatic to author's photo wallpapers. Collections are updated very often, so the stores are ready to meet 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 drawing and abstraction This is the most common interior design option for those who prefer a discreet, calm and restrained style. This wallpaper is used to paste over the entire room without highlighting individual elements. Contrasting elements look great against their background: borders, furniture, accessories. Small drawing very quickly becomes familiar to the eye, so over time you stop noticing circles, flowers, and waves on the wallpaper. But looking at wallpaper with an abstract pattern, it is usually difficult to determine what is depicted on them - either stains, or spots, or brush strokes. They do not have a specific rapport (step of repeating elements), therefore, they can be glued in any order. Such wallpapers are widely used in modern interiors for creative personalities. The drawing can be not just printed, but also convex, and velvety, and rough, or, conversely, smooth to the touch. However, with any, even small drawing, you need to be extremely careful and, as the designers advise, first take a good look. Olga Valle, interior designer, psychologist: - The basic rule for choosing wallpaper with prints or patterns is to look at them from different angles, and then look with a defocused gaze. There is such a psychological phenomenon: “figure - background”. The most famous example is a goblet against a dark background. If you look at it for a long time, then instead of a goblet you can see two dark profiles facing each other. The same joke can be played by prints on wallpaper, when an uncomplicated pattern is folded into unexpected shapes that cause unnecessary associations. Remember how in childhood we made fancy faces from patterns on the wallpaper. Be sure to keep this in mind 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 Geometricpatterns and stripes have magical qualities in the visual transformation of the interior, therefore they are a lifesaver for many projects. So, the vertical strip makes the room visually taller, and the horizontal one wider. At the same time, the strip fits perfectly into almost any interior style. Striped wallpaper can be perfectly combined with wallpaper of other colors and highlight or hide some of the advantages or disadvantages. But the geometric pattern is able to give the room dynamics and set the rhythm, becoming the main interior accent. Do not use wallpaper with geometric patterns in bright interiors. Natalya Korol, interior designer: - Any ornament on the wallpaper will fit into the interior, made 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 "crush" and risk getting bored quickly. 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 Vegetable drawing Very relevant and fashionabledrawing at all times - vegetable. And do not assume that it must necessarily be a floral print. Leaves, stems, grass, shells, butterflies, fruits and any elements found in nature can be depicted here. Most often, these wallpapers are available in soothing shades and are perfect for Provence-style interiors. Although the beloved floral pattern will be appropriate in the classic style. Olga Valle, interior designer, psychologist: - The subject of prints or patterns should always correspond to the style of the interior. Stripes, heraldic lilies, a cage are suitable for a classic interior; Provence style - small flowers, light ornaments, floral motifs, and Art Deco style - geometric shapes and stripes. 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 dusting and look appropriate among complex draperies and antique furniture. Art and photo wallpaper The increasing popularity of steeltype wallpaper in the style of pop art, as well as wallpaper with the print of any selected drawing or photograph. They make it possible to make the interior non-standard, bright and expressive. Minus - such a bright print can quickly get bored and cease to cause a wow effect in the owners. Loft-style wallpaper New and already popularstyle of wall decoration with wallpaper - imitation of wood upholstery. This option is much more profitable than natural wood, at the same time it is easy to use and quickly implemented during the construction process. Victoria Vlasova, designer, owner of an interior boutique: - These wallpapers have become an excellent replacement for natural wood cladding. The non-woven base of the wallpaper can significantly shorten the process of wall decoration 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 Trendy, original, bright,an interesting and contrasting style of wall decoration is a patchwork. The patchwork style allows you to use wallpapers in a variety of colors, prints and patterns to create a wide variety of designs. But there are pitfalls here as well - not all wallpaper scraps will look organically together and create a single interior image. The selection of wallpapers today is wide and varied, thereforeyou need to focus on the style of the interior, on the effect that you plan to create and, of course, on the budget. And a few more practical tips - from the interior designer Elena Tikhonova. Elena Tikhonova, interior designer Elena graduated from the Higher School of Environmental Design. She completed an internship in the UK and France. Member of the international association "Union of Designers". Participant and winner of various exhibitions and competitions. Elena believes that a designer should feel people, literally reading their desires. And add a little fantasy to that. cameleondesign.ru

I call on not to be afraid of active prints anda variety of colors, as well as a large picture in small rooms - English apartments are an example. However, it is worth considering how often you will look at this or that wall. For example, you can not glue wallpaper behind a TV with a sharp graphic print. Strips and zigzags will be very tiring.

Do not recommend buying wallpaper with imitation paint, plaster or brickwork. All these textures make sense when they are made in kind, and not printed and pasted on the wall.

Particular attention should be paid to the choicewallpaper for children. If the apartment does not have a separate playroom and the child learns, sleeps and plays in one room, then the walls should have the most comfortable shades for him.

In this case, the children's is a whole world, where it is compulsorythere must be "residents" and "friends". If you want to buy a wallpaper with a storyline, it should not just be wallpapers with a Disney hero, but a whole story with a perspective and lots of details so that the kid can look at the picture for a long time, making up his own stories. By the way, some producers have wallpaper-coloring, so that the child could paint the wall himself, as he wants.

The main thing, do not be afraid to experiment, because it is not so difficult to re-paste wallpaper, and the interior can be changed and converted as often as possible!
