There are many ways to create a custom interior or zoning a room. Combining wallpaper is one of them, the least expensive in terms of resources and time. This technique is used by those who want to save money, level the existing layout flaws: unprofitable protrusions or niches, too low ceilings, narrow space. The main thing when renovating is to take into account all the features of the room.

The purpose of the combination should be a desire to not just dispel boredom. It is designed to focus attention on a point or zone. The aimless imposition of "patches" on the walls will make the interior look clumsy, only emphasizing the lack of taste of the owner.

When accentuating one of the walls with wallpaper, you must choose the "correct" one. This is usually the wall that catches the eye when entering a room. It can also be located in the background of one of the functional areas or behind a furniture group: dining, writing table, upholstered furniture, which, thanks to a suitable background, will only benefit.

The principle of choosing a wall was absolutely unmistakable in Soviet times. The main attraction - the Uzbek carpet - always hung where it was needed, was visible from any point of view.

The boundaries of the accent wall are also determined in advance. And this is necessarily the whole wall, and not some part of it behind the sofa (what will happen if the sofa suddenly has to be moved?). These are not a few walls, sometimes decorated by companions, but giving the impression that the room was covered with the remnants of previous renovations.

The following simple rules must be observed:

1. Accent wallpaper is glued to the view wall. The desired minimum distance to it is 3-4 m. "Khrushchevskaya" kitchen, for example, is not suitable for such a design.
2. Combining two types of wallpaper with an active pattern is contraindicated, even if they are companions.
3. Wall murals or any other with a dynamic print are best combined with monochromatic ones.
4. In order not to have to puzzle over the design of the joints, accent wallpaper takes place from one corner to another or to a niche, a ledge.
5. The basis for creating any combination should be a certain idea; it is necessary to rivet the eyes of those present to something concrete.

Combination errors

All the mistakes of designers can be reduced to the following main ones:

1. Lack of purpose when combining, acting on a whim.
2. Choosing the “wrong” wall.
3. Placing wallpaper in pieces, with borders not in the corners. The exception is inserts with trimming of joints with moldings or when the wall is divided into two parts horizontally.
4. The layout of the duet does not take into account the peculiarities of the room.

In order not to spoil the picture of a fresh renovation, it is impossible

• place large furniture near a wall with large patterns, the optimal background in this case is monochromatic;
• decorate a small room with dark colors, light shades are more harmonious, preferably no more than three;
• decorate a large wall in a narrow room with patterns, they will further narrow the space;
• stick wallpaper in a horizontal strip at low ceilings, the ceiling will press even harder;
• vertical stripes will make a narrow room with high ceilings even more awkward.

How to combine wallpaper by color?

Scientists have proven that colors affect not only mood, but also health. For a comfortable life, design colors are chosen for a reason. They are combined according to certain rules. Not all shades look harmonious next to each other. Sometimes even unexpected combinations are mesmerizing, in other cases you want to look away as soon as possible. Combinations for the interior are selected according to the same principle by which a bouquet or toilet items are assembled.

Taking into account furniture, decor, there are usually three to four or seven colors in a room. There are not many of them, they only serve for variety, bring accents. The main two are the colors of the wallpaper, floor, furniture elements. When choosing a color, first of all, they pay attention to the size of the room.

The color scheme of the walls determines the overall decor of the entire room. Some color elements from the wallpaper pair are necessarily duplicated in the interior: they are repeated in the furniture upholstery, they echo with the doors or floor, ceiling covering.

Shades of the same color

The combination of wallpapers of the same color in one room is considered classic. Walls can be patterned, regular, chaotic, barely expressed. For a small room, two types of wallpaper with the same pattern, somewhat different in shade, are the most acceptable combination.

Monochromatic combinations can differ only in saturation. More juicy shades highlight the priority area.

Any room will look organic if there is a combined finish of the same color, but with a different texture. Textured elements look much more spectacular if they are made in one color. Shiny surfaces look unusual when combined with matte surfaces. In addition, small rooms with shiny walls will visually appear more spacious.

Contrasting colors

The correct combination in the interior of several bright canvases that you liked is a delicate matter. Those who have no experience in this matter enter a slippery slope. It is also worth considering the price of variegated coatings. The look of expensive silk-screen printing can be quickly ruined by placing budget paper next to it.

The contrast method is most often used to decorate living rooms or bedrooms. In this case, one of the colors should be active, and the second neutral.

Modern design ideas are based on style, rejection of the mundane. Special techniques consist in combining warm and cold colors, using catchy colors. Possible options are:

• simple, when harmonious, unidirectional color schemes are combined;
• moderate, when the tones of the wallpaper are not combined with each other, but have in common with the space;
• complex if the interior is decorated with more than three colors of different saturation.

Adjacent shades of the color wheel

To maintain the integrity of the interior, not to miss the choice of finishing colors, use a special cheat sheet called the color wheel. With it, you can pick up similar colors by simply taking 2-3 or 5 located side by side.

Advanced designers usually use not 2, but 3-4 shades, which are diluted with universal black, white or gray. Since they are absent in nature, they are not on the diagram. In the design of the premises, they act not only as additional, but also as the main ones.

Color combination (table)

It is interesting to work independently on the choice of suitable colors. But those who do not have experience tend to be wrong. There are tables that greatly simplify the process. The main thing is to know how to use them.

This or a similar scheme is used, keeping in mind that the first color must be used as the main one. The following two can act as additional ones, those that follow are accent.

There are tables where contrasting combinations are presented or compiled according to the complementary principle. From the options offered, you just need to choose the combination that you like the most.

How to make a transition when combining

Whether or not to decorate the joints when gluing depends on the thickness of the finish, the chosen style. There are several methods for decorating the transition: pasting borders with borders, moldings, wooden slats, thin strips, stucco molding are applicable, the ceiling plinth is played out.

No transition

The classic joint is usually not decorated with anything. So that the edges of the variegated wallpaper match perfectly, they are not initially coated with glue, overlapping each other. Then, at the junction, they draw with a sharp knife (the line can be flat or wavy). The waste is discarded, and the edges of the canvases are coated with glue, attached to the wall.

Wallpaper border

Paper framing is not a problem. It can be matched to the wallpaper at the point of purchase from the catalog or cut out from the wallpaper strip itself. The advantage of this finish is its low cost, ease of gluing and removing. The disadvantage is exposure to ultraviolet light, mechanical damage.

You can choose between vinyl and acrylic edging, they are roughly similar in quality. Textile is denser and more durable thanks to the two-layer structure of paper and fabric.

You should not rely on the quality of the self-adhesive edging, it tends to fall off spontaneously over time. It is advisable to glue it, additionally coating it with glue initially.

Moldings

Decorative elements framed by moldings look quite original. Such inserts were mostly used in classic interiors. Previously, such ideas were embodied only by representatives of the upper class, since the fabrics used were very expensive. Now such panels are possible in the style of Provence, country. Modern Art Nouveau follows the same path, slightly modifying the frame. Its role is played by a border cut from the canvas of the same collection.

Silk-screen printing, embossed coatings, and other similar options are used as inserts. Moldings will also help, if you need to combine wallpaper of different thicknesses, make the transition to a different type of finish, an architectural element.

Combination methods

Combination is always creativity, creativity. Some of his techniques are very bold, especially if the stylistic solution involves the use of bright contrasts, unconventional combinations. Therefore, you need to choose the decor carefully. When buying materials, you need to consider the following key factors:

• degree of lighting;
• footage of the room;
• conceived style;
• shades and textures should not "swear" among themselves.

The choice of texture is usually easier than determining the correct color scheme. If all types of finishes in the apartment can be combined into one harmonious whole, a satisfactory result is obtained:

• the room seems to add size;
• irregular shapes, uneven walls are hidden;
• the interior is filled with light;
• separate zones appear;
• the advantageous features of the layout and style are emphasized.

Horizontal combination

The method is most successful if you glue the room with different types of wallpaper, for example, the upper part with paper, and the lower one with embossed vinyl or non-woven. The walls will receive additional protection, it will be easier and cheaper to carry out partial repairs.

Horizontal stripes can be distributed over the entire height, alternating in color and pattern. If you decide to glue only two types of wallpaper, then the parts should be in a 2: 1 ratio.

The height of the separation can be changed, focusing on the levels of furniture, window sill, taking into account the layout, dimensions of the room.

Joints oriented horizontally are much more difficult to mask, so the use of moldings, all kinds of borders, baguettes is appropriate here. Traditionally, the border is made at a height of no more than a meter, but only if the height of the walls is small. With non-standard high ceilings, the joint is placed at a height of 1.5-2 m. This distance is oriented relative to the floor, not the ceiling, otherwise the slightest unevenness will be striking.

Combination vertically

The essence of the method is to vertically connect wallpapers of different tones and textures. The method allows you to visually raise the level of the ceiling. The room will appear the higher, the thinner the fragments of the picture. The stripes are not necessarily the same size. Strips of different widths alternate in a certain sequence.

If the combined fragments are not the same in texture, moldings or borders will be required to decorate the borders.

Combinations of coatings of the same color, but of different intensities, alternation of dynamic shades with calm ones, wallpaper with patterns and one-colored ones are popular. Flowers with stripes look good in a retro style.

Plain and solid

Reception, ideal for highlighting several functional areas of space in a similar color scheme. Companions from a single source would be a win-win. Not too variegated shades, embossed patterns, silk-screen printing look noble.

For a harmonious design, when using plain wallpaper, canvases with a neutral and more active color, materials of different textures are chosen. A maneuver with a brighter wall will divert attention away from irregularities on a wall with a neutral color. In the bedroom, for example, deeper, darker shades are used in the sleeping area. Shadow play helps to calm down and relax.

Accent wall

In order for the accent on the wall not only to attract the eyes, but also to improve the design, it is necessary to be guided by some rules:

• ideally there is only one such wall, rarely two, never three, it introduces dissonance;
• only part of the wall or such architectural elements as arches, niches can become accent;
• accent colors are not necessarily bright, soft combinations are acceptable;
• You can "move" the accent wall using warm and cold shades.

It must be remembered: the reception dictates the mood to the entire interior, therefore it is capable of either completely ruining it, or balancing it.

In modern interiors, the accent wall usually sets the focal point. It is decorated with bright monochromatic canvases or wallpaper with large ornaments, digital printing. The colors of the rest of the surfaces are as neutral as possible. This approach is applicable to any room. And due to the fact that expensive materials are used only on one of the walls, significant savings are achieved.

Pattern or ornament and monochromatic

Collections often represent a popular combination option - plain wallpaper with the same one, where a pattern or ornament is applied to the base.

If the selection of companions is carried out on your own, you must be extremely careful, try to dock future companions in good lighting. It is also important not to deviate from the rule:

• large drawing, catchy color are good only in a spacious, bright room;
• in a pair, where the first part is an ornament, the second should be textured.

Pattern and pattern

Different patterns look quite harmonious in the same room. But they must have something uniting: motives, some elements, color.

The technique is often used in horizontal combination, when the lower part of the wall, for example, is decorated with wallpaper with an ornament, and the upper, lighter one, is decorated with small flowers. In the same way, you can arrange large monograms or floral patterns with discreet geometric ripples, giving the impression of a solid background.

Two types of wallpaper are used for zoning, but only if they are not competitors. Colored companions share, for example, a children's room, highlight an area at the desktop. At the same time, the junction should not be defiant, it is not beaten with moldings, it is even better if it is angular.

Patchwork technique

The combination is performed using flaps, for which canvases are selected that are in harmony with each other. They are cut into the same or different pieces, glued end-to-end or overlapped, positioned like on a chessboard. The flaps can be two-color or have more shades, with different geometric shapes: square, rectangular. They are cut in the shape of a circle to make appliqués on finished walls.

A similar panel looks stylish at the head of the bed, in the nursery. If the color scheme seems too variegated, it is balanced with a few white fragments.

Highlighting niches

When trying to disguise niches that seem like a lack of room, they often achieve the opposite effect. Better to go the other way, highlighting them. To do this, wallpaper of a different color is glued there or a couple of tones darker than the main ones. If you apply textured wallpaper, equip the niche with lighting, it will create an interesting interior relief, enliven the room with a play of shadows.

The use of cold tones will visually alienate the wall, move the emphasis to the object that is located in the niche.

Room zoning

Sometimes one room is divided into zones, each of which performs its own function. Along with other methods, a method is used when part of the space is separated from the rest using wallpaper with patterns or other color shades.

The solutions are quite unusual. Separation is achieved not only by color, but also by texture. One of the options is to separate, for example, the kitchen from the dining room, pasting it with structural wallpaper for painting. One area is decorated with floral patterns, and the next one is decorated with a checkered print of the same range. The main thing will be not to be mistaken with the arrangement of furniture.

Wallpaper zoning will help define the boundaries of the zone without effort and unnecessary waste: neither drywall partitions nor heavy curtains are required.

Brick or masonry in the spirit of a loft is becoming less popular. Such a change in the interior requires a considerable investment of time and resources, which is not always acceptable due to the excessive load on the foundation. In a particularly small apartment, it is appropriate to replace this material with its imitation.

The room, covered with light wallpaper, is complemented by a wall, as it were, of white brick. Red brick will look great when surrounded by matte gray or white walls. An apron in the working area of ​​the kitchen, a fake fireplace in the living room will not be discordant if the colors of the companions are correctly maintained. The texture of the brick is conveyed so realistically that it is possible to distinguish it from the real one only by touching it.

Photo wallpaper, like any cladding with an active pattern, can only be combined with plain walls. It doesn't matter which plot the eye initially falls on. The main thing is to adhere to the basic rules:

• choose the right drawing;
• guess the size;
• observe the consistency in quality and palette between the photo wallpaper and the main wallpaper.

The types of megalopolises do not have to be combined in color. They will suit almost everything, if they are not variegated or completely monochromatic. It is best to place juicy greens in rooms that are full of light. White, beige or grayish main background harmonizes well with it.

Rooms with windows to the north are decorated with bright, large images. Sunflowers or oranges will warm and add sun. The rest of the walls are pasted over with light, warm, dim wallpaper.

Photo wallpaper is also used for zoning, to emphasize the horizontal, to highlight architectural protrusions, niches. Not so often they are combined with contrasting saturated companions: beige is combined with purple, green, blue and orange. Perspective images will greatly affect the size of the room.

To emphasize the interesting texture of the coating, the room is decorated in a single color. The use of catchy textures must be balanced with calm shades, the absence of unnecessary details and patterns. It is customary to combine an explicit texture with the same companions, or at least close in thickness. It is better not to place the seams between them on a flat wall, but to take them to a corner.

Textured wallpaper is the best alternative to liquid. The texture can appear in the form of stripes and curls, abstract images, vegetation. It is convenient to glue the coverings, they can be painted, they are joined on the walls, they decorate the ceilings with them.

At first glance, liquid wallpaper looks like decorative plaster, is suitable for any room, goes well with non-woven wallpaper.

The most acceptable combinations are those that are achieved by playing with color. It is easy to combine liquid wallpaper with each other, other materials, supplement with drawings, original patterns. They create panels, and if "knead" thicker, then decorative volumetric elements, for example, imitation of stucco molding.

Focal point

A certain visual anchor that attracts the attention of the person entering the room, a beautiful detail that is the center of the interior, act as a focal point. It can be as natural as a niche, fireplace or a large window with a beautiful view.

If there are no such architectural details or a delightful panorama, then a painting, sculpture, furniture group, which the designer "designates" as the main ones, can act as a focal point. Correct lighting, background wallpaper will help to highlight them. The latter are combined in such a way that part of the wall differs in shade from the main one and is monochromatic or stands out with an unusual pattern. The effect can be supplemented with framing, decorative ornaments.

Decorative ornaments

To change the interior without undertaking a grandiose renovation, it is enough to use ready-made or do-it-yourself decorative stickers. They are easily glued, now there are such that they are removed without consequences.

The theme and style of such decor are very diverse, suitable for any stylistic direction: loft, avant-garde. These can be small stickers or large silhouette images of people or animals. With their help, they enliven the furnishings of the children's room, place accents in the living room, combine disparate pieces of furniture, appliances in the kitchen, and add positive emotions to the bedroom.

Combining wallpaper combinations in rooms

Not everyone loves experiments, they decide to move away from the traditional pasting of each room with wallpaper of the same color. In order for the fresh renovation to look harmonious, it is first necessary to study a large number of recommendations from knowledgeable designers, study examples with photos, develop an idea that would take into account the functional features of each room.

Living room

The room where visitors are received is often called a hall. Here they receive guests, hold evening gatherings with tea parties, meet colleagues and important guests. Therefore, it should not only be comfortable for home, but also maintain the image of the owners as successful people, not devoid of taste. You should not save on the quality of finishing this room. The classics are applicable here, a combination of silk-screen printing, glass wallpaper, the use of non-woven, vinyl wallpaper.

The hall most often has the functions of a living room and a dining room, sometimes a bedroom. One of the corners can be a work area or a library. Wallpaper partners will help to divide the space into zones. The main violin is played by the dimensions of the room. If the living room is small, it is better to resort to light shades. In vast open spaces, you can not limit your imagination, experiment with textures, colors.

The recreation area is usually made lighter, decorating with plain canvases or with small patterns. The place where the upholstered furniture is located, the fireplace group, plasma will benefit when decorated with more saturated colors, beautiful patterns.

Bedroom

Since the zone is intimate, here they proceed only from their own preferences, having previously agreed on the basic principles with a partner.

The main role of the premises is to help you relax, to ensure proper rest. Bright contrasts, catchy patterns are not appropriate here. It is better to decorate the walls with calm colors: beige and white, who like a darker bedroom - in various shades of brown and blue.

It is better to choose a smooth texture. In addition to traditional ones, fashionable fabric wallpapers look good in the bedroom. It is desirable that they have something in common with textiles: curtains, bedspread. If you combine them with other types, then the joints will have to be beaten with moldings or slats due to the discrepancy in the thickness of the materials.

Combining different types of wallpaper, the headboard is pasted over with textured, darker materials, photo wallpaper, and an accent is made on it. In order to isolate the sleeping place, the accent strip is continued along the ceiling.

Kitchen

In the kitchen, it is not so easy to solve the problem of the correct combination of colors. There is a lot of furniture here, one of the walls is often occupied by tiles, and very little space is left for wallpaper. In addition, they need to be combined not only with all the furniture, but also with a work area, refrigerator, and other household appliances.

In order not to oversaturate the kitchen space with paints, the wallpaper duo needs to be made neutral, without large patterns. The large kitchen-dining room is decorated more brightly, but pastel shades, light colors, if the drawings, then small ones, will look more harmonious here.

Bathroom

The microclimate of the room is not conducive to wallpapering it. Other coatings are more appropriate here, which resist moisture well. But if the bathroom is spacious, well ventilated, then it is quite possible to partially decorate it with wallpaper, especially since the canvases are easy to change if it suddenly turns out that they are slightly peeled off.

It is better to use moisture-resistant, washable materials. Liquid wallpaper is also suitable, which, after hardening, is coated with acrylic varnish. Apply options with vinyl wallpaper. They are expensive, but their fixation level can be increased with special glue. Self-adhesive, fiberglass, not afraid of moisture, is also a good solution. All of them go well with each other, with 3D, photo wallpaper. It is better not to place the latter directly near the shower. This area is decorated with tiles, and the wallpaper is pasted near the washing machine, sink, in the toilet area, where splashes do not reach. The main thing is that the combination of color and texture should not cause any complaints.

Children

In this room, you can let the colors run wild. But even here it is better to adhere to the general rule and not combine more than 2-3 colors. Of these, only 2 can be saturated.

For the smallest, neutral shades are chosen. It is not necessary to adhere to the commitment of girls to pink, and boys to blue. You can choose any colors. Among the most popular for the nursery are green and yellow, peach and apricot, natural colors of wood, green tea, olive, lilac.

The nursery, like the bedroom, needs a comfortable environment. Gloomy shades are inappropriate here, bright and cheerful are welcome, but not distracting from classes. A room for two children can be divided by different types of wallpaper into individual areas, the play area can be highlighted with accent canvases, and the design can be diversified with decorative stickers in the form of animal silhouettes, geometric shapes, exotic plants, rockets and ships.

A patchwork technique is used to match the colors of the patches to the tone of the floor. A wall with photo wallpapers and stylized drawings will look good.

Hallway and corridor

This room is rarely spacious. In most cases, it is narrow and long. You should not make it very dark, except that the lower part of the walls is executed in darker colors, if the border between the companions runs across.

The joint between the ceiling and the wall is often decorated with a special side, where the backlight is masked. This technique helps to "raise" the stretch ceiling, enliven the interior with highlights from it. A cramped and narrow corridor will seem much more spacious with a competent layout of wallpaper, thoughtful lighting.

In a room not cluttered with furniture, wallpaper inserts, moldings and borders, in harmony with the mirror frame, medium-sized geometric and floral patterns, look beautiful.

It is advisable to paste over the area closest to the front door with washable wallpaper or wear-resistant glass wallpaper. Posters, photographs, all kinds of stickers will help to decorate the corridor and make it more alive.

The antique style, replete with columns, arches, elements of marble, stucco can be realized without spending money on gold frescoes. Wallpaper imitating wall painting is combined with plain pastel colors. Wall murals with natural, historical subjects are placed on the walls. The style will be supported by moldings, moldings made of polyurethane.

The splendor of Rococo and Baroque will be emphasized by silk-screen printing, wallpaper on a fabric basis. Paper murals will help imitate woven tapestries. Instead of stucco moldings, pompous moldings will go.

Classic color solutions from milky to burgundy, geometric prints, panels, horizontal wallpaper combinations are quite feasible. Wooden slats are placed at the joints, the bottom of the wall is sometimes decorated with carved wood or plastic.

For the Victorian style, the best wallpaper print is stripes and checks, floral motifs.

The Japanese surroundings will be supported by natural laconic colors and themed wallpaper.

The interpenetration of Europe and China is expressed in elegance, mixing familiar furniture with paper panels. Oriental style is a wallpaper with unusual birds and flowers.

The Turkish style will fill the bedroom with turquoise and azure, dictate to decorate the headboard not with a square, but in the form of a dome, an arch.

Rustic country and Provence will require simple textures on the walls, matte canvases with a small scattering of flowers. It is advisable to combine the colors of the wallpaper with curtains.

Alpine chalets are characterized by simple materials, an unobtrusive cork or bamboo base in combination with imitation of brickwork.

Modern trends take something from the classic interior, but there are also rough textures like metal or masonry. Photo wallpapers with the image of mechanisms, gears are used.

It is easy to get lost from the offers on the market. Whitewashing, water-based painting is now used as a budget option that has been proven over the years. Those who want a more modern design, the interior space of the premises is finished with wood and stone, decorative plaster, PVC panels, eco-leather are used. On sale there is a special wall linoleum, which can only scare away the name. They have little in common with known flooring. All materials are good in their own way, have a special texture, certain decorative properties. But not everyone can compare with wallpaper in terms of price, ease of installation. In addition, a room completely "wired up" with stone or tiles is unlikely to amaze you with coziness. The best option is to combine.

Wallpaper and panels

The decorative coating, which is now made from a wide variety of materials, goes well with wallpaper. This tandem always looks presentable and expensive. The material of the panels, depending on the style of the room, is used very different: PVC, gypsum, textiles, wood chips, sometimes marble and metal. Someone manages to beat parquet and laminate on the walls. Why not?

Combination with brick

Many now fashionable styles (gothic, loft or Scandinavian) are very kind to unplastered walls. So that the brutality in the room does not go off scale, one of the walls is left "naked", or only a part of it. The rest of the perimeter is trimmed with wallpaper suitable for style and furnishings, colored or plain.

Combination with decorative stone

Having stripped the walls of the plaster, you will not always get to the brick. But if you still want something stone, then the exposed concrete wall can be finished with decorative stone. The main requirement is to think over the finishing of the remaining walls, to link the types of coverage, decor with each other.

Tile

The most popular places in the home, the kitchen or the bathroom, are not complete without finishing with an equally popular material - tiles. Tile plus wallpaper is the most versatile option that allows you to realize your design fantasies. In this pair, you can beat everything: the shape of the tiles and the pattern of the wallpaper, their texture and color, the way of laying the tiles and gluing the wallpaper.

The combination is built on contrast or combined with a common color, elements. Other materials can be connected to the combination: glass panels, decorative plaster.

Plaster

The material is used not only for leveling walls. When decorating an interior in antique, Arabic or Gothic style, decorative plaster is indispensable. She will embody the beauty of marble, ethnic theme. With its help, they create pictures, applications. A chic panel can be placed only on one wall. But there are many ideas on how to combine the two in-demand materials.

The accent can be the plaster itself, the image on it. Or it becomes the background for the wall where the bright wallpaper is pasted.

With timber and wood

The combination of wood and wallpaper is not a new technique. It has been used for centuries. Most often, the bottom of the wall is trimmed with wood panels, and wallpaper is glued to the top.

There are wallpapers that themselves imitate logs stacked on top of each other, frayed boards or tree bark eaten by insects. They can be played in the interior of both a city apartment and a country wooden house with beams under the ceiling and walls made of timber.

As with stone, an all-wood environment needs to be diluted with something to give the space a cozy, residential look. The timber in combination with light wallpaper is widely used to decorate summer cottages, cottages in a rustic, Scandinavian style. The now fashionable bamboo, cork wallpaper will fit well into the wooden walls.

The perception of the interior of the hall, the key room in the dwelling, is largely determined by the type of wall decoration, therefore, during the renovation process, you should not neglect the rules for choosing and combining wallpaper.

Many options for their combinations allow you to give the space an original look, make it cozy, comfortable and atmospheric, while spending a minimum amount of financial resources.

Gluing technique

Horizontal combination

In this method, there is a horizontal division of the walls using strips of wallpaper glued in a special way to the surface.

This technique allows you to "play" with the visual perception of space. It helps to expand the boundaries of the room, to make it visually wider. Therefore, it is recommended to use it in living rooms with a small area, which are usually found in apartments and small cozy private houses.

The technique works best in rooms that have a simple geometric shape and are devoid of any design delights in the form of niches, curly suspended ceilings, arches, partitions for zoning. Sticking is done as follows: the wall is horizontally divided into two parts, selecting certain wallpapers for each segment.

The bottom is most often made dark, contrasting, and for the top, a paper canvas with an unobtrusive light shade is chosen. It can be either monochromatic or printed - with patterns in the form of ornaments, oriental monograms, floral images, etc.

At the same time, horizontal stripes can have different widths, they can be used on one or more walls in the living room. It is believed that with an average ceiling height of 2.5-3 meters, the width of the wallpaper strip for the bottom should not exceed one and a half meters.

Variants of thin stripes are also acceptable, with a web width in the range from 100 to 120 centimeters. They look strict, laconic and elegant in combination with a properly selected canvas for the upper part of the walls in the hall.
