We combine wallpapers
Apartments and wallpapers with design, it can all be completely different. But the approach to decoration, in principle, does not change. Recently, just sticking wallpaper is not relevant, everyone is trying to stand out and do something new.
By way combining wallpaper in color, texture and pattern, you can achieve amazing results. Let us consider this issue.
The combination is done in three ways:
 Vertical Vertical combination | This option involves the vertical placement of strips of wallpaper and pattern. Perfect for small rooms. In this option, you can visually increase the area and raise the ceiling. The stripes themselves can be combined in color and pattern. |
 Horizontal Horizontal combination | In this embodiment, all separation is done in the horizontal plane. About this option is suitable for a large room. By moving the separation strip in this case, a completely different effect can be achieved. |
 Inserts We combine inserts | This option is suitable for any type of room. Only a drawing needs to be thought out in advance. Insertions can be done with any wallpaper. The same texture is selected depending on the interior. If you want to focus on the insert, then you can just put the picture in a frame. |
Attention: The design of the apartment furniture and wallpaper is best done in the same style. Then it will be easier for you to choose a color and distribute everything correctly.
Highlighting one of the walls of the room
Modern designers often use the method of highlighting one of the walls in the room. They make it brighter and more contrasted than attract the attention of beauty lovers. This method is a great combination opportunity for those who prefer originality and originality in the interior.
Attention: The main thing is not to “go too far” in this decision, since there is a risk of introducing an imbalance in the overall style.
But even if such an incident occurred, you can correct the situation by putting furniture in the same color scheme with an accent wall against a parallel wall. Usually, for the wall that they want to highlight, choose bright wallpapers of a bold shade. It is this that introduces a certain special mood into the interior, provoking an emotional outburst.
But do not forget that you need to create a pleasant environment where you can spend a lot of time. The color should be bold, but not cause irritation. To do this, you can use strips that can be of different colors, but in the same key.
In the case of a too narrow and long area, it is good to use emphasis on the far wall. Its bright appearance, which stands out from the general monotony, visually shortens the room.
The emphasis on the accent wall will well dilute the boring monotony, as well as cope with the separation of the zone or attracting attention to the highlight in the room: the picture (see.How to hang pictures on the wall: options), a niche, a fireplace, a column and more.
Attracting attention to an architectural detail
If there are various borders, niches on the walls, the ledges should not be tried to hide or close them up. Try, on the contrary, to focus on them, highlighting them with a successful combination of wallpaper and turn them into a highlight of architecture.
Then your room will take on a new look, and recent shortcomings will turn into advantages of the interior. After all, there is only one instruction on this issue, everything should just look attractive.
It will be a great solution to combine the color of the architectural detail with furniture. On the white wall, a niche of black and gray color combinations will attract attention, the yellow border will fit perfectly into the background of the blue wall, and the pink color goes well with gray and light green.
But if the kitchen does not have architectural features, then anyway, having selected a certain part of the wall without protrusions by combining wallpaper, you can achieve some features in the interior:
- Separate one functional area from another;
- pay attention to one of the elements in the interior;
- to frame and thereby “tear” a certain object from the general monotony.
Wallpaper inserts as an art object
Application from wallpaper can turn into an art object that transforms the ordinary look of the room and gives it originality and brightness. This method of combining wallpaper is a conclusion in the repair and is made on top of the finished walls.
Don’t worry about the difficulty of solving this original finish. All ingenious is simple. Application is better to do from heavy non-woven wallpaper. Decor details should be of different sizes and shapes.
Their color scheme, pattern and texture may differ from the walls of the kitchen or be combined with them. The monotonous coloring of the walls, diluted with bold inserts of various shapes, thematic pictures and colors, will gain a lively and vibrant look.
For the classic style, the frame of the protrusions and niches with foam, plaster or wooden baguettes is suitable. In a baroque kitchen, square and rectangular frames on the walls will look good. Neoclassical and avant-garde interior styles are emphasized by figures of complex geometric shapes.
A new and not bothered method of combining wallpaper on the walls is the so-called patchwork. Patchwork quilts from our childhood have gained a second life in creating a new interior style. It can also be used in the kitchen. Patchwork combinations will appeal to people who have difficulty in choosing one type of wallpaper from their great variety in the market.
We select a border for wallpaper
To edge the upper edge of the wallpaper often use an additional element. This is a special border. Its size depends on many factors. If the ceiling is up to 2.5 m high, the border tape should be small, four centimeters is enough.
Attention: If there are no cornices in the kitchen, it is better to leave a distance between the edge of the wallpaper and the ceiling. A low ceiling requires gluing the entire wall. In this case, a narrow border is used. It is fixed right under the ceiling. With a wide frieze you can decorate the wall in a room with a high ceiling.
The pattern on the border is selected in accordance with its width and the coloring of the wallpaper. A bright strip of the same color under the ceiling will effectively decorate a monochrome wall. Wallpaper should be in harmony with the color of the border, but it should be darker.
An architectural or floral ornament is suitable for a wide frieze. Its use is appropriate in kitchens with high ceilings. Wallpaper in this case may have a mesh pattern.
A border of one color will complement the wallpaper with a pronounced pattern.
The presence of a ceiling cornice will require you to set the border for wallpapering directly below it. The edge of the wallpaper goes into a colored strip or ends with a narrow baguette. Baguette, fixed at a distance of 40-50 cm from the cornice, looks very interesting.
For the correct selection of wallpaper for the kitchen, you should use some rules:
- The size of the room can be visually reduced using a large pattern or ornament;
- Make the room smallerthan it is, wallpaper with a fine pattern will help;
- The ceiling is “rising” thanks to the vertically located drawing, the height of the room increases;
- Reduce the height of the ceiling, and expand the kitchen, horizontal stripes and a drawing in a longitudinal arrangement will help;
- Creates the illusion of movement and a dynamic setting, a diagonal pattern;
- The texture surface of the wallpaper carries an additional aesthetic load. The combination of different textures will achieve interesting design effects.
The design of apartments with wallpaper will help to decorate the room in various styles. The combination of the texture of the walls and facades of furniture will allow you to create real masterpieces of design art. There are practically no restrictions.
The combination of planning features, properly selected wall decoration, room lighting, additional decorative elements, textiles and the wishes of the hostess will be the basis for creating an individual, comfortable apartment. And everything is completely within the power to do it yourself, the price of wallpaper is not large and everyone can afford this option of decoration.
