The arrangement of the hall in an apartment or house cannot be limited to furniture, consumer electronics, floor and ceiling finishes. Be sure to pay attention to the coating of the walls. One of the best options is wallpapering, but with all the simplicity of such a solution, you need to take into account its subtleties and work very carefully.
Features
When choosing wallpaper in the room, it is necessary to take into account the basic requirements for them, which are derived from the study of everyday practice.
Of course, preference should be given to products with maximum environmental and sanitary characteristics.
The safer the finish, the very people will be calmer. But you need to understand that the assurances of sellers and even labels on the labels do not always correspond to reality. Wallpaper on the wall in the hall in the house where pets live, where there are children, can not have a light color.
It is not necessary to choose paper canvases in the room for the whole family. You can focus on other, more exotic options. However, the final decision can be made only after a thorough study of the entire range and possibilities. Errors in selecting wallpapers for a room are even more serious than when they are bought in other rooms.
Fashion trends
In 2019, there are many collections of wallpapers that correspond to the latest trends. The once-leading paper rolls are slowly getting out of fashion. Consumers give preference to other, more sophisticated and elegant design solutions.
Images on the wallpaper should coincide with the intentions and tastes of homeowners - this is an axiom, regardless of the chosen style.
Attractive options are all wallpaper patterns with floral motifs. The expression of these motives can be very different and therefore it is always easy to get away from boredom in the interior. Popular are:
pictures from the wild jungle;
- images of flower bouquets (in pure form and in vases, pots);
unusual plants from exotic countries.
With the help of this decor it is easy to saturate the room with rich colors.
But plant motifs are not to everyone’s taste, they are also in demand geometric design options. In the late 2010s, these are most often not lines and squares, as before, but hexagons or honeycombs. They are appreciated for visually balancing the space and giving it integrity.
A mandatory feature is the reproduction of geometric patterns on wallpaper in furniture upholstery or in textile products.
Modern manufacturers can offer Stylish wallpaper with rhombuses, triangular and zigzag decoration. Typically, these finishing materials are used to create eye-catching accents.
But describing the beautiful options for wallpaper for the hall, fashionable this year, you still need to return to the floral images. Along with bouquets in any form, they can be represented by natural bushes. In these bushes the most ordinary roses and tropical plants “settle” - In any case, compliance with the fashion is guaranteed.
But you can express your craving for nature at the expense of animalistic motifs. Prints with tigers and other beautiful, elegant animals will add chic and become a highlight in home design. You can combine animal motifs and retro-style influences that will make the room even more sophisticated.
The bottom line is that animal images are distributed evenly throughout the volume.
There should be no fanciful, overly florid or very small details.
Prints showing:
- butterflies;
- fish;
- birds with bright plumage.
These images are used primarily to attract attention to certain walls or areas in the room.
For emphasis, large animalistic images are used. From previous years, the design approach of recent times has inherited such an option as brick imitation.
However, anything can be imitated:
- concrete and marble surfaces;
- natural stone;
- wood;
- Snake skin.
From the latest trends, one can point to the use of complex colors. It includes:
- olive and green (in all the variety of their shades);
- eggplant color;
- color of a sea wave.
To create a favorable mood, you can use collections with bright colors.
The main choice in the current season is made between chocolate, yellow, pink and turquoise colors.
The popularity of photo wallpaper is constantly growing. They can imitate not only plants or animals, but also “deep” rooms with fireplaces, bookshelves made of precious wood.
Of the other options that definitely remain in fashion or only enter it, it is worth mentioning:
- abstract images (any color);
- wallpaper with black and white contrast;
- gradient wallpaper.
Varieties
But figuring out the details of the current fashion, one should not ignore another point - the preference for certain types of wallpaper.
The same or almost the same design solutions can be implemented using different types of canvas. Therefore, their practical characteristics acquire special significance.
In stores there is a huge amount paper wallpaper for the hall. They are relatively inexpensive and will certainly be environmentally friendly, safe. However, this wall decoration cannot be called durable. Even the best paper in ideal conditions quickly “degrades”.
Acrylic canvas stronger and better tolerates moisture.It can be recommended as an answer to the question "what to buy, so as not to be too expensive and reliable."
Concerning vinyl wallpaper, then they are quite beautiful and in terms of strength they will not yield to acrylic analogues.
However, the lack of microventilation of walls can adversely affect the microclimate in the house.
To use only vinyl cloth for pasting the living room is therefore impractical. But it should be combined with other varieties of finishes.
If the goal is to acquire the most durable and long-lasting wallpaper, masking the unevenness of the wall, then the choice should definitely fall on rolls non-woven. They can be used both independently and as a basis for applying varnishes and paints.
Concerning liquid wallpaper then under this name lies a composition of textile fibers or cellulose, pigments and glue.
Since all the necessary components are already in the composition, the need to additionally apply the same adhesive disappears.
When applying a "liquid" mixture to the wall, the appearance of seams can be eliminated. Another important advantage is the speed of work. The environmental characteristics of modern liquid wallpaper are at their best, and at the same time they are perfect for decorating rooms with a complex shape or uneven surfaces.
Classics competing with paper are deservedly considered textile wallpaper. They have a wide range of textures and visual options. Linen, silk or cotton are applied to the base of non-woven fabric. Where the textile is pasted, the sophisticated taste of the owners is immediately recognized.
Other options worth considering:
- velor wallpaper (nylon fiber covering the paper layer);
- cullets (not collecting dust and not burning under normal conditions);
- bamboo, cork wallpaper (make the room more interesting and do not impede the movement of air, however, are not sufficiently resistant to moisture).
If the first place is the decoration of the living room, and not its practical characteristics, you can safely use 3D wallpaper. Such an image can be created on almost any existing material. Most often it is non-woven, paper or vinyl.
Along with the popular traditional options, decorated with an abstract pattern, single-handed 3D wallpapers occupying a small space are increasingly being used.
If available, use fluorescent three-dimensional paintings, which look charming in any setting.
Colors and patterns
Having figured out the type of wallpaper, you need to familiarize yourself with another important aspect - the coloring of the paintings. The selection of colors is determined primarily by the level of illumination.
When the windows face north, the situation can be corrected with the help of light and warm colors. But in this case, the use and combination of dark, light tones is allowed. You only have to take care of the enhanced lighting.
Together with red, you can use gray, green or bluish shades. Acceptable companions will be purple, golden and brick tones, however, they should be used only to a limited extent. If the walls are painted pink, gray and burgundy furniture can be connected to it. In small quantities, the use of brown paint is allowed.
As for the blue wallpaper, it will appeal to connoisseurs of marine style. This coloring also harmoniously fits into rooms with bright accents. Thanks to the blue color, you can ensure peace of mind and relieve the stress that has accumulated over the whole day. Will succeed:
- visually expand the space;
- add light to the room;
- to refresh the interior of the hall, facing south.
But we must understand that an excess of blue can provoke aesthetic tension.
Continuing the review of plain wallpaper in the room, you need to pay attention to the white canvas.
It is worth considering that it is extremely difficult to combine white walls with other interior elements correctly. Have to carefully think through all the nuances and subtleties.
White wallpaper can appear both imperceptible background, and bright decoration of the room. Supplement can be both rich colors and pastel colors - you only need to carefully consider their interweaving.
White color avoids negative emotions or excessive nervous excitement. When using color accents, excessive boredom can be avoided. White wallpapers can be combined with almost any color in the interior. Due to the neutrality of colors, it becomes possible to easily change the environment, making a minimum of effort. It can be entered into any style, you just need to beat it correctly.
But keep in mind that white walls are easy to get dirty, they must be created primarily with the help of vinyl wallpaper. Only vinyl is calmly laundered.
Beauty stands out favorably turquoise wallpaper. This color occupies an intermediate position between blue and green. By According to designers, it brings a touch of decor:
- lightness;
- happiness and serenity;
- peace of mind;
- concentration of thoughts.
The brightness and ambiguity of the turquoise colors repel quite a lot of people. But with proper interior design, you can avoid its negative effects. Intense turquoise color should be balanced by white or other calm tones. This step will please supporters of bold avant-garde steps. Much more often, however, they use pale turquoise wallpapers that fit perfectly into a variety of design concepts.
Turquoise wallpaper with monograms and other oriental-style options are perfect for emphasizing the Asian style in the interior. To emphasize the avant-garde side of turquoise and achieve greater severity of the interior, you can apply coatings with geometric ornaments. Undisputed classics, relevant almost everywhere, is a combination of white and turquoise colors.
No less attractive than turquoise, there may be lilac tones. Now this color is experiencing a “rebirth” after undeserved oblivion during the 20th century.
The lilac wall will add notes of luxury and charm. She will look very deep and saturated, sometimes they even say that this is some other reality.
Lilac color gives the interior harmony and tranquility, it is equally useful in city apartments and private houses.
Psychologists note that the shade helps to cope with fears and stressful, anxious conditions.
Most often, lilac tones are used in such styles as classic and neoclassic. But they also find application in interiors:
- Provence
- Art Deco;
- shabby chic;
- Art Nouveau.
Lilac wallpapers can be decorated not only with floral drawings, but also with abstract plots, geometric patterns. In some cases, surrealistic motifs are also used. Under the influence of complex lilac patterns, emotional relaxation occurs and a favorable visual effect is achieved. To complete this topic, it is appropriate to point out 3 varieties of lilac color:
- pale (needed as a background coating and for a visual increase in space);
- deep (needed to highlight specific areas);
- especially bright (helps to emphasize).
Special attention should be paid to the wallpaper in the hall with monograms. These jewelry will allow:
- transform space;
- achieve sophistication of the situation;
- practicality;
- help cover small surface irregularities.
At the same time, large and bright monograms should not be used in small living rooms.
In low light, the main emphasis should be on light and warm colors. The optimal geometric structure of space can be achieved using large monograms centered on one of the walls. You can add coziness through a combination of monograms with floral patterns.
The next common option is beige wallpaper. The advantages of this color are unique warmth, softness and comfort. In any environment, if only the color is used skillfully, it will add style and create a pleasant feeling.
Since the shade itself is soft, it is very easy to choose bright and juicy contrasts, maximally animating the situation.
To ensure that the interior design is not boring, you can enter a few juicy and expressive accents. Beige-black and beige-golden wallpapers are popular among designers.
Complete the review of color options appropriate to striped wallpaper for the hall. Such finishing material has a long history (used since the 1970s). Striped compositions are primarily aimed at using the game of proportions and manipulating geometry. Even more modern design techniques do not deprive this approach of stable popularity.
The stripes make the room more interesting and livelier.
When using striped wallpaper on only one wall, stripes should be wide enough. The presence of contrasting colors is unacceptable. Such a solution will ensure the external solidity of the interior. In the art deco and baroque styles, the use of stripes is unacceptable, because such stylistics prohibit the use of straight straight lines.
How to choose the right one?
A very important point is to understand which wallpaper is suitable for a room with windows facing the south side. In this case Avoid consuming all materials that quickly fade in the sun.
It is advisable to use non-woven fabrics marked with a special marking "resistant to the sun."
Warm, especially “fiery” colors are categorically unacceptable.
The opposite approach is practiced if the room "looks" to the north. In this case, the further the room is from the window, the more there should be light shades. But at the same time, white tones should not be used, because they are not practical enough. In a darkened room on a white surface the smallest dirt will be very clearly visible. If the goal is to highlight a certain part of the space, fragments of dark tones are better.
The main rules will be:
- the exception of very bright and “flashy” colors;
- inadmissibility of dark accents in rooms with insufficient lighting;
- limited use of zoning techniques in a small area (in a small living room, monophonic solutions are better).
In view of furniture design
Under bright furniture you can choose wallpaper of any color and texture. It is recommended to use contrasting elements as accents. The most welcome canvases with drawings of large size. They act differently if the furniture is painted in dark colors: in this case, use a lighter wallpaper, but always without saturated colors.
Large drawings on the walls combine extremely poorly with dark-colored headsets.
Accent elements are used occasionally that visually refer to the colors of the furniture itself. But when furniture products are painted in very bright and rich colors, the wallpaper should drown out and weaken this interior pressure, so that the room does not turn out to be too “aggressive”. Neutral colors are suitable for two-tone furniture, which correspond to the color of the facades or 1-2 tones lighter than them.
For living rooms of different sizes and shapes
For "Khrushchev" with a small living room, it is allowed to use wallpapers of various colors. The current fashion does not contradict various options for their application. But it’s better to use the optimal, according to experienced designers, solutions. For a small room, it is recommended to use the most light wallpaper. They are combined with bright and relatively dark inclusions. It is important that the interior looks livelier, and the style is emphasized more precisely.
In a cramped space it is unacceptable to use dark wallpaper as a background. Bright background coatings are also not good. Large patterns on the walls are definitely unacceptable, because they will “absorb” the free space.
You can correct the flaws in the geometry or size of the room by using wallpaper with different sizes of stripes. Vertical elements will raise the ceiling, but we must always remember that they can unnecessarily reduce the area of the room.
You can smooth the feeling of small width by applying wallpaper with a horizontal pattern. In rooms with an asymmetric shape, when selecting and deciding on wallpaper, you need:
- take into account the placement of technical communications and their main nodes;
- to think over all other possibilities for correcting errors;
- try to emphasize the stylistic unity of adjacent rooms;
- apply optical illusions to quench design flaws.
Style solutions
Let the living room have the right or wrong shape - in any case some specific approach, style should be used in its interior. NIt is necessary to deal with this moment in order to prevent mistakes. In the assortment of any major manufacturer of wallpapers, there are collections that refer to the themes of a particular country. Already applied to the rolls of the image will express the basic spirit of the chosen style. As for the nuances of choice, now classic and even emphasized are becoming more relevant. vintage stylistic directions.
Their main feature, designed to express alienity to the utilitarian spirit of the 21st century, is the presence of bright impregnations. It can be accessories with gilding, and slats made of precious wood. Another typical decoration of classic wallpapers are large symmetrical patterns and overflows. Widespread use of bright and saturated details. Stucco moldings and moldings are considered an interesting addition.
If a style is chosen for the design of the hall baroque, then you must definitely strive to reproduce the theme of the palace. Any detail necessarily expresses the mood for a luxurious and refined atmosphere. Wallpaper should have large, mutually interwoven patterns and unsharp ornaments with floral or geometric plots. It is recommended to create a baroque interior with a dominance of burgundy, beige or golden tones. In the Rococo variant, it is worth considering the use of:
- white;
- pink;
- beige colors.
When a room is decorated in the spirit Art DecoWallpaper should have a light, calm color. The use of patterns is acceptable, but not necessary. Most often, canvas with prints is used for one of the walls - and this is an important method of zoning. The application of wallpaper in the spirit of retro, which is expressed by:
- simple flower arrangements;
- a combination of cells and strips;
- a combination of geometric and abstract motifs.
To the style retro quite close to the decoration of the hall in the spirit of provence. This format implies the creation of the most comfortable space, taking into account the developments of the Mediterranean part of France. They traditionally use floral themes. It can be expressed both in floral patterns of various sizes, and in photowall-paper with realistic plots. Mandatory feature will be the presence of strict lines.
Other branches country, unlike the Provencal, are pertinent mainly in a country house. A common feature will be the active use of decorative effects, among which wallpapers with imitation of other materials also turn out to be. As for modern stylistics, they are less clear. It is not necessary to strictly observe any rules; rather, it is more appropriate to talk about the reproduction of specific features.
IN modernist types of wallpaper are actively used in contrasting color combinations and patterns of bright colors.
Scandinavian style dictates his requirements for wallpaper. For the most part, monochrome solutions are used. Of course, white and gray colors predominate. Sometimes it is practiced to combine unfinished brick or stucco walls with wallpaper-covered walls.
The canvases themselves usually express a spring mood.
The geometry of the Scandinavian wallpaper comes down to the use of simple and concise solutions. The use of abstract motifs helps to avoid associations with old-fashioned interiors.
Regarding style wallpapers loftthen they mainly reproduce concrete, natural stone or brick. Monotone cloths are allowed. Combine the colors of the wallpaper in the spirit of a loft, you need to be as careful and thorough as possible.
How can I combine?
Pasting the entire room with monotonous canvases is very simple and easy, but this is a manifestation of extremely scarce imagination. It makes sense to stick at least one wall to a different canvas from the rest.
The mistake is to combine the first ones found in the store or in the wallpaper catalog.
The right combination is selected primarily after choosing warm and cold tones. They must be balanced in the room, otherwise it will look uncomfortable and even strange.
The combination can be built from close colors (shades of the same color), adjacent segments of the color wheel, contrasting colors. The first 2 options are optimal for those people who do not perfectly understand the principles of design or do not have an impeccable artistic taste. The most common combinations are:
- pattern and plain color;
- a couple of drawings;
- geometric image and solid color;
- geometric image and ornament.
If you make a bright and at the same time contrasting pattern on the wall, you can create the impression that there is a picture of enormous size. A good choice is an expressive floral print. In this case, furniture, carpets and textiles should be painted in one of the colors used for the main pattern. The choice of small or large, abstract or plot patterns is largely a matter of personal taste. Another thing is important: a wall where a bright pattern is used should not be filled with decorative elements.
A classic of the genre is the color difference between “top” and “bottom”, shared by a border. However, it must be borne in mind that such a combination technique looks unnecessarily official. And for apartments with low ceilings, it is hardly suitable. When the junction line goes from above, it is picked up along the horizon of the door or cabinet opening. With a lower layout, the border is drawn through the window sill or through the upper parts of furniture adjacent to the window sill.
Due to the alternation of vertical stripes, a low ceiling is visually raised or an excessively long wall is shortened. Such a solution is perfect for cases when there are immediately 2 of these problems. For crushing and visual reduction of the length of the wall, you need to combine 3 textures:
- main wallpaper;
- decorative fragment;
- molding or border tape.
Allocating one concrete wall to one tone is considered a risky decision.
In the square living room, where the furniture is minimal, a color spot is able to cope with the negative sensation. Light furniture will cease to be lost if you prepare for it a dark background. Correct selection is achieved. thanks to the wallpaper with a similar pattern, but a different background. More modest design implies the use of moldings.
Good examples
The photo shows how charming a light green floral ornament can look. Such wallpapers are not striking, but still justify all the investments.
And then they acted a little differently: they use rather stylized rather than pure plant plots. Yes, and the color is clearly darker. This wallpaper design fits perfectly into the classic room composition.
This photo shows how beautiful dark gray flowers can be on a light background. Although this solution is even considered obsolete, in fact it is an immortal classic.
An ideal choice for a light and relaxing interior. An alternative solution is a light wallpaper with vertical darker stripes.
