The question of how to choose the wallpaper, one of the most set on construction sites and forums. Despite the variety of various materials for wall decoration, it is the wallpaper that confidently hold the palm among them. And we are talking not only about how this material should be, but also about how to harmoniously combine the whole house with their help.
How to choose wallpaper – the practical side of the question

So, first you should decide on the type of material. The main rooms where the wallpaper are used:
Hallway;
living room;
nursery;
bedroom.
Let’s start with the hallway. The main requirement for material for it is wear resistance and resistance to pollution. And, since, hallways and corridors, as a rule, do not have natural light, the wallpaper should not be dark.
The selection of wallpaper for the kitchen is primarily based on practicality. Since fat spots cannot be avoided in the kitchen, washable wallpaper or painting, which can be covered with moisture -resistant compositions, are best suited for it.
The main requirement that is presented to the wallpaper for the nursery is security for the child. Modern materials are made on the basis of environmentally friendly materials, however, paper wallpapers are considered the best choice for this room. The choice can be stopped at non -woven ones, which are largely similar to paper. And if you take those that are designed for painting, then they can be covered with absolutely harmless moisture -resistant water -based emulsion. In this case, children’s attempts to create artistic masterpieces can simply be washed off, or, in extreme cases, paint over. And, of course, you should not “wear” the nursery in the wallpaper of “screaming” colors.
The bedrooms for the bedroom can be absolutely any – textile, bamboo or some other. The main requirement for the color scheme is the absence of irritably bright kings.
And finally, wallpaper for the living room. In this case, there are practically no restrictions – wallpapers for the hall are selected solely on the basis of the preferences of the owner. It often happens that a selection of wallpaper for the living room becomes a starting point for the entire interior.

If you want to make the interior of the entire apartment in the same style, then the wallpaper for each of the rooms must be chosen in close color scheme, for example, combining yellow with orange and blue with light purple. This is especially true for dwellings where there are practically no doors, and the corridor smoothly flows into the kitchen and living room. In addition, this technique will help to visually expand the space. Of course, the shade of the wallpaper can be lighter or dark, but it is not recommended to glue one of the adjacent rooms with a material of contrasting color.
The finish pattern in adjacent rooms should also not contrast. For example, if a material with a geometric pattern is glued in the corridor, the roses drawn on the wallpaper from the room will look inappropriate. Diversify the space by making one wall (preferably invisible from the corridor) accent, gluing some kind of wallpaper harmonizing with the general finish. In addition, a variety of bright accessories and textiles will help to “dilute” the interior.
In the rooms, the doors in which most of the time are closed, you can choose a decoration in a completely different style than all other rooms. So, for example, even if in the rest of the apartment the rooms are glued with yellow wallpaper, you can “put on” the isolated room in blue. If the doors to this room are more often open, then the best option would be to choose the finish with a related basic color.
Which wallpaper is better to choose for one or another interior style?
It is also worth paying attention to which wallpaper is suitable for a certain interior. For example, if the house is decided to perform in a classic style, you need to choose a suitable finish for it. These are wallpapers with repeating floral ornaments – large or small, with stripes of dim shades, as well as monophonic coating of natural shades. The riot of colors in such an interior is unacceptable and inappropriate. It’s good if the wallpaper pattern is in harmony with the upholstery of furniture or ornament on curtains or curtains.
For high-tech interiors, plain coatings of cold shades, such as gray or beige, are used. As a rule, they do not have a pronounced pattern – it manifests itself only in the texture.
One of the most cozy and home styles – country, suggests the presence of wallpaper on the walls in a small flower. The colors of such wallpapers are dim and as close as possible to natural shades. Sometimes, for such an interior, plain wallpaper is selected with a structure of natural fabrics – for example, flax or matting, which serve as a background for interior items. Wallpaper in the “eastern” interior is a real riot of colors and drawings. Bright and large flowers, exotic birds and bamboo groves – all these ornaments traditionally decorate the walls of the premises decorated in the Asian manner.
Oddly enough, but the hardest thing is to select wallpaper for eclectic interiors, because in this case they should be in harmony with any interior detail. If there is no self -confidence, it will be best to turn to the services of professional designers.
