Wallpaper with a picture: great opportunities in interior design

Wallpaper with a pattern today again relevant in interior fashion, because Plain, of course, look elegant, but not as fun and lively as patterned. In addition, wallpaper with a drawing has much more features. Speaking specifically, from a design point of view, wallpaper with a pattern represents nothing more than the basic colors of the interior, and therefore its style. After all, the style is determined precisely by the pattern, its form, which is characteristic for each direction. In this regard, first of all, you should decide on the style in which you want to design the room. Based on this, everything else is selected: drawing on wallpaper, textiles, furniture, accessories, etc.

Abstract illustration

These include spots, stains, any brush strokes, i.e. Such a pattern may look completely different. The advantage is its randomness, due to which the joints are seemingly absent, in any case, visually it is perceived in this way. And this means that wallpapering is much simpler and easier. Abstract wallpapers are perfect for interiors in a modern style, for example, for minimalism - you can’t imagine any better. By the way, they can even be embossed.

Geometric pattern

Geometry can consist of different shapes, be it squares, triangles or trapezoid with circles. Due to the alternation of figures, a specific rhythm and a certain mood are created. Too small a pattern that causes unpleasant ripples in the eyes is undesirable. This type of pattern is also used in modern interior styles, especially large.

Striped pattern

Striped wallpaper, too, in principle, can be attributed to geometry. The stripes can be both horizontal and vertical, as well as wide and narrow. By the way, it is not at all necessary that they have the same size and color. It all depends on the style, and striped wallpaper is possible in different interior styles and looks very stylish.

Plant drawing

This type includes drawings depicting all kinds of leaves, twigs, flowers and other vegetation. Very attractive wallpapers, especially since, as well as with an abstract pattern, they do not require fitting joints. They are appropriate in many styles, for example, small leaves will fit the country style, and the floral pattern will perfectly decorate the classic English style of the interior. Today, this is perhaps the most popular type of wallpaper, suitable for almost all styles. And if these are pastel shades, then such wallpapers can serve as a wonderful background for all kinds of expressive objects that make up the interior.

Oriental drawing

This type of drawing includes various Chinese characters, images of desert or tropical African animals, Arabian accents, etc. Regarding the style, the best option is the ethnic style of the interior, although in modern interiors wallpaper with such a pattern would also be quite appropriate.

Simulation drawing

This type includes all drawings that simulate the appearance of the finish, i.e. finishing materials, such as stone, wood, metal, fabric, in other words, most often it is an imitation of natural materials.

Classic drawing

These include patterns with various monograms that are intertwined, forming a single pattern. This is a great option for a traditional interior combined with classic furniture and drapery.

The main rule to keep in mind

Choosing certain drawings of wallpaper, you need to clearly represent the intended goals:

if you need to draw attention to the walls, you should choose a wallpaper with a large pattern;

if the walls should serve as a background for highlighting bright interior items, in this case you should choose a wallpaper with a neutral small pattern

How to choose the color of wallpaper

To choose the right color for the wallpaper, you need to consider four main points:

the area of the room and its configuration;
degree of natural light;
functional purpose of the room;
the basic rules for choosing the color of wall finishes are available

If we talk in more detail, then on the first and second points we can say that rooms with a small area are finished in lighter tones, while from a large to darker ones.

Otherwise, the already small room will become even smaller and darker (if it is also poorly lit). Although light-colored wallpapers are also suitable for spacious rooms, the more so because they have such a useful property as opening the space. - For large rooms this is a great opportunity that can be used favorably. The illumination of the room also plays a role in choosing the color of the wallpaper. It is recommended to choose warm shades in a poorly lit room, and cold in a well-lit room. Regarding the third point, it can be noted that the functionality of the room plays an important role in choosing the color of the wallpaper, because It’s no secret that this or that color affects a person differently. For example, red is too exciting and even in some cases annoying, and in no way suitable for placing a bedroom. But it can even be very suitable for finishing the cabinet, as able to activate and increase labor productivity. Although the blue tone for the cabinet is no less good, because he is able to tune a person to work. For a children's room, it is best to choose warm and "joyful" shades, for example, yellow and orange, while for a bedroom, on the contrary, calm tones. For hallways, the most optimal are dark brown, dark blue and dark green shades. For kitchens, neutral tones are usually used. But absolutely all colors are suitable for the living room, and this is perhaps the only room where it is possible. Regarding the fourth point, we can add that it is very important to remember the compatibility of colors, and you can also recommend to buy one roll of your favorite wallpaper first, so that when you come home, test it, namely, how exactly these wallpapers will look at different times of the day and in different lighting conditions.
