Increase space with photo wallpaper

Few of the owners of their own homes satisfy the number of square meters in it. Most apartments need to be improved, which requires a lot of money and effort. Solve the question "without noise and dust", without breaking partitions and without making extra costs for an expensive designer, choosing the right wallpaper, expanding living space, freeing the interior from the accumulated rubbish.

Color effect

The selected color scheme directly affects how households will feel at home. Lilac, bright blue give a feeling of spaciousness, but not everyone likes them. When choosing a wallpaper should be taken into account not only the advice of professionals and personal feelings, but also listen to the opinion of home.

Choosing the color of the walls, they are guided by the general principle: the cold part of the spectrum makes the room more spacious, and the warm tones will narrow it a little. For very light warm shades (pale yellow or peach, caramel colors and milky with beige) this rule does not apply. They give a feeling of spaciousness, fullness of clean air.

Pale silvery, bluish, green shades relax, retard. Those who are prone to depression, mood swings, they are better not to use. Bright colors activate, help to overcome chronic fatigue, but they do not always have a good effect on people who are easily excitable. This especially applies to babies. Colorful wallpaper in the nursery will provoke the vagaries of a hyperactive child.

Selecting the color of the wallpaper, take into account which side of the world the windows of the room are facing. From the north side they use warm tones, gloss. The windows to the south will require a cooler gamut with a matte effect.
The ideal solution, significantly increasing the volume of the room, would be the choice in favor of pastel, transitional colors, light shades of natural wood, wool, delicate pinkish, sandy.
    

The effect will enhance the minimum of the furniture, the matching of all the furnishings to the colors.

The effect of texture and texture on spatial perception

The relief wallpapers are in demand, with the help of which they not only decorate the room, but also make the space more free. Low-key volumetric patterns are appropriate in any style, indispensable for those who prefer the classics.

The walls with glitter, modulations fill the house with light, pushing the walls apart. The effect is enhanced if you add to the finish glossy or mirrored ceilings. It is only necessary to remember at the same time that the set of small furnishings in the interior will double.

Intricate relief lines distract the attention of the incoming from the room volumes. A small room looks advantageous if it is covered with textured wallpaper with a small pattern. Such walls are pleasant to the touch, form a refined background. More preferably coated in the same color range.

The most popular textures are:

  • Linen. The surface of the wallpaper reproduces a dense fabric surface.
  • Dust. The surface is fine-grained, a good base for decoration.
  • Canvas. The outer layer simulates the porous structure.
  • Plaster. Deliberately careless relief over the entire surface.

    

A modern imitation of stone accents, bricks, leather or metal helps to place the modern accents. An interesting design is created by structural materials that can be repainted more than once.

At difficulties with the choice smooth and texture coverings are easily combined.

Which picture to choose

The well-known rule: to decorate a room with light wallpaper without any drawings, and if there is one, it is only small and directed vertically, which greatly limits the flight of fancy, makes the room boring. Special techniques will allow the use of bright colors, and even large drawing.

  1. The base color should really be light. Others will take about 40% of its volume from the room. White is also better not to use. A room of less than 8 squares will resemble a hospital or a bathroom. Oriented to the color of carpets, furniture, basic accessories.
  2. Textured walls are desirable. Even a slight relief of the "matting" creates a game of shadows that makes you see more space.
  3. Use shiny coatings. If you like silk screening, it can be safely applied.
  4. Patterns are also not contraindicated. If they paste over the entire room, then the geometry should not be large. With a sufficient height of ceilings, it is better to direct the pattern horizontally, which will add room space. If you plan a bright carpet or a lot of pictures, photos, you should buy plain wallpaper.
  5. Sometimes use and bright geometry, large prints. But then they make out only one wall. Allocate one of the functional areas, the head of the bed, TV, fireplace.
  6. The walls are glued diagonally. The area of ​​the room will add visually if the drawing or texture will not be sent as it is customary.


    

Enlarging a room by combining wallpaper

Reception of a combination will help to increase the room on height and on width.

  1. Coverage of one color range, but of different intensity. Use as monochrome wallpaper, and with a pattern. The lower part of the wall is covered with darker, the upper - light. In order not to "steal" the height, the border is selected thinner. The bottom of the finish should not exceed a meter.
  2. Room up to 10 squares can be finished vertically with two types of wallpaper. In a larger room, even 3 types of different materials are glued. "Companions" should be well combined in color, pattern. With horizontal and bright combinations, it is better not to overdo it; in a small bedroom, it is better to place "ripples" in the headboard so that it does not irritate the eyes before going to bed.
  3. The accent wall, on the contrary, is placed in sight. It is covered with expensive beautiful wallpaper and admire the beauty, sitting at a cup of coffee in the kitchen or relaxing on the sofa in the living room.
  4. Sometimes attention is moved to the ceiling. Then it becomes a continuation of the accent wall. A small room is not trimmed with dark materials so that the ceiling does not "put pressure" on the psyche. The combination of "companions" smooth, redistributing attention to the surrounding decoration.
  5. A small bedroom can be pasted over with dark wallpaper, only if it is close to square in shape. Dark make the walls at the window or any other part of the room, except for those walls that should reflect sunlight.
  6. Not small in the close space will be cut out from the favorite wallpaper large flowers pasted over the inconspicuous background of the silhouettes of the kissing couple at the head of the bed or the cottages, the elephants in the nursery.
