The bedroom in the house as a microcosm is a quiet, intimate, especially cozy room. This room does not accept guests, does not have parties and does not welcome noise: it should be good to sleep, relax, be alone with your thoughts and recover from difficult work and other everyday fuss. And for such important tasks, the visualization of the bedroom is not indifferent: color schemes regarding furniture, decor, the general scheme of space. First of all, the general background is important, which wallpaper to a large extent sets.
The effect of drawing on the perception of the interior
Shades and colors - this is not all that can be said about the wallpaper in the bedroom. If the owner often copes with color quickly, then it is often difficult to say which picture impresses him on the walls of his own bedroom. Let us examine this question in more detail.
- Floral motifs. Flowers is a classic that contributes to a romantic, light atmosphere of leisureliness and tranquility. And at the same time, floral wallpaper deprives the room of emptiness, which is sometimes perceived as tension and can even aggravate the feeling of loneliness.
But flowers are different for flowers: if you choose lush roses or a very colorful pattern, not every man will be happy with such a decision. Therefore, a compromise is found in vintage prints, unobtrusive patterns and calm colors.
- Cell, strip. Striped options that are color-tinted are often a conciliatory solution if disputes about wallpaper in the bedroom are at an impasse. It is difficult to get tired of the strip, it is laconic and moderately strict, it does not carry any fashionable tasks (which tend to become obsolete, succumbing to new trends).With a cell, everything is the same, except that for some reason men prefer a cell more often. Women probably consider her very strict.
Remember that vertical stripes visually make the room taller, horizontal stripes expand the space.
- Ornament. This is a pattern that repeats at a certain interval. A very large and colorful ornament will give the bedroom such dynamics that it cannot be called a room for relaxation. Too small and frequent will become a distraction. It is good if the wallpaper ornament is in tune with another element of the interior, it is not very bright, not very colorful and does not attract all the attention.
If a bright ornament or, for example, large flowers is something that seems stylish and suits your idea of a cozy bedroom, you can decorate the wall above the head of the bed with such wallpaper. This will not distract from falling asleep, and will not turn the room into a dazzling field. One accent wall is enough.
Popular shades and their psychology
Each color has its own character. And each color for a particular person has additional characteristics. If one likes green to the point of madness, he calms it, balances it, then the other green wallpapers will euthanize and in every way annoy. Therefore, all the tips regarding the color of wallpaper for the bedroom are only relatively universal. It is worth stopping at the most popular color schemes in more detail.
- Turquoise and different shades of blue. For those who fondly love the sea and miss it, such walls may seem like a good investment in a partial visualization of a dream. You will wake up and fall asleep in the color of sea water and clear skies, and your mood will increase itself. Blue and turquoise really have a relaxing, calming effect.
To enhance this action, to remove some coldness that they can bring to the interior, the furniture should be the color of warm sand. And the cover on the bed, and other textiles, even visually should be soft, with a delicate, possibly fleecy structure.
- White. The first association with this color is clean, fresh. And for many people, it is white that will be the most soothing and most appropriate color. But if you decide, in an attempt to follow the fashion, to glue the room white, although you feel that the color is more likely associated with hospital sterility than with freshness, look for other options. Sometimes white is perceived as a cold, frosty color, which is far from understanding comfort.
If you are close to the aesthetics of Scandy, feel free to settle for white, but if the nicer is not so restrained Provence, reject the idea of white wallpapers.
- Navy blue. Many residents of megacities are sure that the wallpaper should be dark blue, adjusting to sleep and rest. But this option is suitable only for those who are not embarrassed by dark shades, who can not only sleep in such a color environment, but also read, work, communicate.
Despite the main purpose of the bedroom, sometimes it performs a variety of functions, and a calm atmosphere can dramatically turn into a sleepy, embarrassing, leaving no other options but to close your eyes and fall into sleep.
- Beige. Here it is - neutrality and universality itself. Beige will never go out of fashionable shades. There is no need to select special furniture for it: everything that is a popular furniture color is practically suitable for it. If your bedroom is northern, choose gentle cream shades.
- Green. All those who are engaged in hard mental work, and whose brain is especially in need of relaxation, should look at the wallpaper in green shades. This is a natural color, so it is quite appropriate and permissible in different variations, from noble emerald to democratic grass.
- Grey. It is almost the same neutral color as beige. He very often needs a bright color support, dilution with some juicy accent color, it is not always easy to pick it up.
True, in the interior of a bedroom with such a color you need to be careful - on glossy surfaces it can create a metallic cold shine, which does not at all impress the concept of the bedroom.
- Brown. Reliable and warm as the earth itself, this color is well perceived by our consciousness. Comfort and well-being are often involuntarily associated with a deep brown color.
For a small bedroom - this is a controversial option, but for a spacious space - very suitable.
Many owners turn to Feng Shui, believing that the wise thoughts of this philosophical trend are not unfounded. The color in the bedroom, according to Eastern thought, depends on its location. For example, a bedroom located in the east or southeast will be well received with green wallpaper.
But green must be diluted with other colors so that the active color does not cause insomnia.
For central, south-western and north-eastern rooms, ocher shades (characteristic of the elements of the Earth) are most suitable. But the southern bedroom, according to Feng Shui, is suitable and wallpaper with a red tint, but perhaps located only in one area of the bedroom. It is believed that this color has a beneficial effect on family relationships. On the north side, wallpapers with the presence of blue (but not solid blue) are acceptable.
What colors should be used with caution?
Take the same red color that Feng Shui favors. This is an aggressive color, it will give one people energy and vitality, it will stimulate action. But not everyone takes the right message from red wallpaper: often red color depresses a person, it seems to suppress his will, does not allow him to concentrate.
Finally, in the interior itself, red brings all objects closer and larger, makes them more massive: for a small bedroom this is far from the best option.
Yellow color invigorates, only whether it is necessary in the bedroom. But you can choose muted shades of yellow, if you really want to stick colored wallpapers in this room. Yellow diluted with milk is a very good option. Another controversial color can be called purple. For many people, it causes concern, so in the bedroom this color is not so good. But a softer lavender shade may be appropriate in the room, especially if the furniture is soft, calm colors.
Bright shades of pink distract, do not allow to concentrate, which can cause negative emotions literally every day. If you use pink for the bedroom interior, it is very metered.
Wallpaper Combination
The most popular option is companion wallpapers. As soon as the design of the room with the combination of wallpaper became not just an option, but a trend, manufacturers seized on this idea. And now you don’t always have to choose a pair yourself, wallpapers are already sold in the kit. Wallpaper in the bedroom can be combined for the following purposes:
- zoning of the room;
- emphasizing the features of the room and masking its shortcomings;
- visual change in the proportions of the bedroom;
- accenting a certain wall;
- creating a focal point or adapting the bedroom to the character of the owner.
Color shades of the same intensity can be repeated in the wallpaper: the ideal option is with a tonal combination of pastel and muted shades. In order to avoid visual irritation in the calmest room at home, add plain (to the textured ones) to the wallpaper with a picture. The bedroom can combine not two, but even three types of wallpaper, but this is more complicated.
In this case, you definitely need to take companions or wallpapers from the same collection, which a priori can be in tune.
What to consider when choosing?
When choosing wallpapers, many factors are taken into account: the sunny or northern side is considered, what size the bedroom is (whether it is necessary to choose wallpapers that visually expand the space) and so on. But sometimes the main thing is simply not to break such rules as:
- cold and light shades make the small room more spacious, and dark and very colorful wallpapers will further reduce the bedroom;
- in a hot bedroom, do not buy fire-colored wallpapers associated with heat, but pale blue and aquamarine wallpapers with a smooth shiny surface will only come in handy in such a bedroom;
- if the wall is narrow, then the vertical strip will narrow it even more (visually, of course);
- if the wall is not the most even, then smooth monophonic wallpapers (wallpaper for painting) will not be able to mask irregularities - but diagonal-printed wallpapers do well in disguise, like some types of liquid wallpapers;
- to increase the ceiling, use wallpaper with a vertical pattern that visually stretches the walls; just do not glue them to full height, leave a small area that is painted to match the ceiling surface.
Do not be afraid to experiment, for example, in fashion today, pictures from wallpaper segments that can decorate the head of the bed.
The more creative, individual and unexpected, but at the same time within the boundaries of good taste and artistic rules, the more interesting your bedroom. And the more it is yours - unique, special and cozy.
