Only at first glance it may seem that choosing finishing materials for the bedroom is an extremely pleasant experience. The indoor microclimate is excellent - no high humidity and temperature changes, the surfaces of the faucet are rarely exposed to contamination or mechanical stress, which means that from the point of view of technological characteristics there will be practically no exceptions. But what to do with the variety of color and texture solutions? Which manufacturer to choose – domestic or foreign? Wide wallpaper buy or standard? And how to combine the palette with the colors of furniture, textile design and decorative elements? One thing is obvious - without a preliminary plan for choosing the quality, color and texture of wallpaper, you shouldn’t go to a store with an incredibly wide selection of options. We hope that the bedroom design projects we have selected, in the decoration of which we used a wide variety of different wallpapers, will help you not only make such a plan, but also make the most effective and successful choice.
Features of choosing wallpaper for the bedroom
The main feature of selecting finishing for a sleeping area is practically complete absence restrictions. There are no factors harmful to the finishing in the bedroom; the walls themselves are rarely subject to load or any kind of mechanical impact, and the risk of contamination is minimized. And the attention of home guests to the private space is minimal, which means you can decorate the bedroom in accordance with your own vision of functionality, aesthetics, practicality and beauty. An important factor when choosing a finishing material from the point of view technical properties There will be a budget for repairs. After all, the range of prices for wallpaper from domestic and foreign manufacturers is incredibly wide. And only the owners will be able to decide what they like - cheap but not durable paper wallpaper or practical vinyl, or maybe luxurious velor fabrics, which will cost half of the available funds for the repair or reconstruction of the bedroom interior.
Paper wallpaper. The main advantages are low cost, environmental friendliness, ease of installation, ability to pass air and a large assortment color solutions, products with prints. Obvious disadvantages include fragility (even with very careful use - no more than 4-5 years), susceptibility to fading under the influence of sunlight and the inability to withstand wet cleaning and the use of cleaning products.
Non-woven wallpaper or non-woven fabric. Non-woven fabric has a high density; it consists of cellulose fibers with the addition of polymer materials. Depending on the method of applying the pattern, there are two groups of non-woven wallpaper:
wallpaper with direct application;
polymer-coated canvases.
When applied directly, the design is transferred directly to the fillet linen base. Such canvases are stronger than paper, but have a number of other disadvantages:
- such material, like paper sheets, cannot be washed or cleaned using special means;
- wallpaper fades in the sun.
The advantages of non-woven wallpaper with direct printing include:
- high strength;
- ease of installation - wallpaper can be applied to a wall treated with glue without using it for the canvases themselves;
- the ability to “breathe”;
- environmental friendliness in relation to humans and the environment;
- The density of the canvas allows you to hide minor imperfections in the processing of surfaces being finished.
With polymer coating of non-woven wallpaper, the design is applied to the vinyl covering. This polymer coating can be smooth, foamed or embossed (a type of silk-screen printing). The surface of such paintings can imitate various options finishing - from brick or stone masonry to concrete and wooden surfaces.
The advantages of non-woven wallpaper with vinyl coating include:
- excellent strength (including tensile strength);
- durability;
- Possibility of wet cleaning;
- resistance to burnout;
- the ability to hide small cracks and gouges in the wall surface.
Among the small number of disadvantages are the following:
- inability to pass air;
- some polymer products are capable of releasing toxic substances, therefore, the choice of wallpaper must be carried out in accordance with GOST.
Textile wallpaper. This finishing option is perfect for a bedroom. Wallpaper is made in the following way: fabric or threads are applied to a thick paper or non-woven base. The canvas can be:
- cotton;
- linen;
- jute;
- velor;
- felt
Of course, such material is significantly more expensive than paper products, but it also has distinctive advantages:
- improved sound and thermal insulation properties(which is important for the bedroom);
- high level of environmental friendliness, ability to breathe (if the base is made of paper);
- luxurious appearance, exclusivity of design.
Unfortunately, this type of finish also has many disadvantages:
- cleaning surfaces is problematic, wet cleaning prohibited;
- low resistance to mechanical damage(use in a home with small children and/or pets is not recommended);
- installation of such canvases is more difficult than covering walls with paper or vinyl wallpaper;
- high cost of paintings.
Photo wallpaper. Have widespread in creating modern bedroom design projects. Great for decorating an accent wall. An image of a beautiful city landscape, plants or animals, nature or fictional scenes, macro photography or family photos enlarged to fill the entire wall - an interior with a similar accent will be unique and interesting.
As a rule, photo wallpapers are made of fiberglass and have an adhesive layer. But recently it has become fashionable to use natural bases - bamboo, leather, cork.
In addition to the types of wallpaper listed above, modern bedroom design projects also use liquid wallpaper and fiberglass sheets. Textured wallpapers with embossing, inclusions of quartz, colored glass particles, straw, shells and much more are very popular.
Combining wallpaper to decorate a bedroom
A combination of wallpapers, different in color, print, texture and even style, can help not only create original interior, but also to correct deficiencies in the geometry of the room, highlight certain functional areas, and create certain accents.
We focus on the advantages and disguise the disadvantages. Using color, design or pattern, you can create a focus on a specific area of the room, piece of furniture or surface. For example, you would like to divert attention from the design of the ceiling (irregularities or imperfections in the finishing) - a bright pattern on the wall, in the middle part of the room will become ideal option accent. Or vice versa, you would like to focus on the furnishings of the room ( beautiful design sleeping place, for example) - cover the walls with wallpaper in a neutral color scheme and practically make them invisible.
We zone the room. Very often in the bedroom, in addition to the immediate sleeping and relaxation area, there are other functional segments - a dressing table, a boudoir, workplace, dressing room, reading corner. It is enough to use a combination of wallpapers that are different in color, texture or stylistic solution and the room will be effectively zoned.
We increase the space. It's no secret that with the help of certain optical effects you can visually adjust the volume of a room. For example, horizontal stripes on wallpaper help to visually increase the width of the room, and vertical stripes help to visually increase the height of the ceiling.
A favorite technique of designers around the world (mostly forced) is the use of a light palette to visually increase space and blur the boundaries of the room. But this does not mean that in a small bedroom you will have to cover all the walls with white wallpaper and be content with bright accents on the textiles of the bed or window drapery. The palette of pastel shades, which will not interfere with the visual enlargement of the room and will add a certain zest to the design of the bedroom, is incredibly diverse. And you can create an accent with the help of a dim print on light wallpaper, using textured elements.
Create an accent surface. The simplest and effective way to create a color accent - execution of one of the walls of the room in a bright tone (against the background of a light color palette) or using a pattern (pattern, ornament, photo printing). There are a lot on sale ready-made solutions by combination. Wallpaper is sold in specially created collections - as a rule, the pattern of accent paintings contains the tone of the main finish.
Focusing attention on a point. No less popular design technique on focusing attention in in the right place– creating an emphasis not on the entire surface, but on some part of it. For example, a segment is allocated above the head of the bed, around the fireplace, reading area, dressing table or an interior item that you would like to draw attention to (antique furniture, a piece of art or an expensive decorative element).
Wallpaper as a decorative element. Often, very beautiful, expensive wallpaper (or simply canvases that differ significantly from the general background of the room) is used as wall decor. You can arrange plywood with wallpaper pasted on it into a beautiful frame and hang it on the wall, or decorate with moldings canvases that are locally located on vertical surfaces bedrooms.
Current color palette - fashionable prints and textures
It is obvious that the color scheme of the walls in the bedroom largely shapes not only the image of the room, but also our psychological state while staying in it. That is why it is important to take the choice of wallpaper print for your sleeping space seriously. The color palette and design options on the canvases will depend on the following factors:
- size and shape of the room;
- quantity and parameters window openings(level of natural light is incredibly important);
- the location of the room relative to the cardinal directions;
- color solutions for the main furniture and textile design of the sleeping area and windows (the rule about combining plain wallpaper with printed curtains and vice versa, colorful finishes with neutral window drapery has not been canceled).
Plain wallpaper is an option for a laconic interior or room in which it is planned to highlight the furnishings of the room and, above all, the bed with its design. Most often, neutral colors are chosen for the bedroom. pastel shades, soothing and motivating for rest, relaxation...
But there are also radically opposite options for decorating bedrooms. A bright, colorful wallpaper tone is most often chosen to decorate an accent wall. If the surface behind the head of the bed becomes such a wall, then even bright tone will not interfere with a calm emotional state. After all, lying in bed, we cannot focus attention on the wall located behind the head of the bed.
Floral print. To create a romantic look in a room, a floral print is ideal. And yet, the bedroom is most often a space for two. To balance the atmosphere and not go too far with the femininity of the interior, a floral pattern on wallpaper is most often used as an accent wall decoration. Depending on the quality of the wallpaper, a floral print can be used to create a classic, romantic, modern interior and in the style of Vintakh, shabby chic.
Often, a floral or plant print echoes animalistic motifs in the design of bedroom walls. Images of animals, birds, fish and insects help create a relaxing, but not boring atmosphere in the room. Most often, a similar wallpaper pattern can be found in bedroom projects in classic, oriental and eclectic design styles.
Ornaments with geometric elements. The range of use of geometric prints in bedroom decoration from the point of view of introducing a certain style is incredibly wide. The geometric pattern looks quite strict and laconic, but a lot depends on the chosen color schemes and their combinatorics. Geometric print can be used from classic to modern, from understated to eclectic.
"The Imitation Game" Wallpaper imitating various surfaces are at the peak of popularity. It's easy to create an accent wall using wallpaper that imitates concrete or wooden surface, brick or stonework, peeling plaster or old paint. The originality of the image and ease of installation (compared to the original stone or wood finish) captivate both designers and their customers.
A bedroom is not only a room for sleeping. Many are accustomed to combining a bedroom with a study, wardrobe, and sometimes a living room or library. In any case, the bedroom is a small world of its own, in which you can relax comfortably, work productively, and read a book. Comfort is here main criterion in the design of such a room. On general view and the atmosphere can be significantly affected by the choice of wallpaper. There will be an article about how to do this correctly, armed with our advice.
Choosing wallpaper for the bedroom
There are a great many types of wallpaper today! At first glance, it’s easy to get confused among all the diversity. But in order to understand which ones are best suited for your bedroom, you need to familiarize yourself with their classification.

If the room is large, then you can play with contrast and choose dark wallpaper for light furniture. Caution is important when choosing this design option.
To make everything look seamless and consistent, follow simple rule: choose warm colors for warm colors and shades, and cold colors for cold ones.

It is only important to observe the measure: if the bedspread is already supposed to have a small pattern, then the wallpaper should become a plain background for all this.
Loft
A classic technique in the embodiment of the loft style is part of the walls in their “pristine form”, when the bricks are visible. We are talking about imitation brickwork (it is unlikely that real exposed brickwork will look aesthetically pleasing). The rest of the walls of the room should be decorated in a calmer and more neutral way (plaster or light wallpaper).
There should be no drawing as such on the wallpaper. In other words, choose wallpaper in one tone or with abstraction. If you want to see a pattern on the wallpaper, then it should be dim, better than a geometric shape, small and often repeated across the canvas.
Country
Wallpaper for this style should be chosen according to the general direction - light, warm colors, often floral or checkered (it’s about them that you can say: “cheerful colors”). It’s just important not to oversaturate the interior small details and practice moderation. After all, the bedroom is a place to relax. And your eyes should also rest.

It is best to choose wallpaper without a pattern, in one color (the fine texture of the wallpaper will help compensate for the monotony) or with a dim abstraction. As an option, place a large image on one wall (or part of a wall), which will act as an independent interior detail.

There are several options for combining wallpaper and stickers:
- Horizontal arrangement
- Vertical arrangement
- Individual inserts
For successful results, follow important rule gluing combined wallpaper: when choosing different colors (shades), maintain a single texture.

|---|---|
| Vertical | The vertical stripe can be plain or variegated (this depends on the color of the second type of wallpaper). The classic zoning of walls with a vertical stripe is when the width of the strip coincides with the boundaries of the bed. The strip can be as high as the ceiling or continue along the ceiling (and even go to the opposite wall). |

| Niche | If a niche in the room is made for decorative purposes (and not for installing a cabinet in it, for example), it should be combined stylistically with the walls. To do this, the same wallpaper that was used to decorate the walls of the room is pasted inside the niche. |
Photo wallpaper

Principles for arranging photo wallpapers:
- "One wall." Classic version– location of the pattern behind the bed.
- Minimum decor. The wall with the image does not need to be crowded with furniture, this will ruin the overall impression.
- Harmony with the rest of the walls. Since the photo wallpaper will be the brightest element of the walls, the rest of the room can be in one tone (they must be combined with each other!)
You should take the choice of image very seriously. Think about what you are willing to see on your bedroom wall every day.

Suitable wallpaper for the bedroom: material
In the production of wallpaper, various materials are used, which determine their properties. Each type of wallpaper has its own advantages, but they are not without their disadvantages.
Paper wallpaper in the bedroom interior
Paper is the most cheap material for the production of wallpaper. The quality of the wallpaper depends on the quality of the paper - the higher it is, the better. The manufacturer can use paper in one layer, or in two, which makes the wallpaper more durable.
- Low cost;
- Environmental friendliness;
- Easy to apply.
- Short service life (does not exceed five years);
- Low resistance to fading and abrasion;
- Wet care of wallpaper is not allowed.
An indicator of the quality of paper wallpaper is their specific gravity. If it is in the range from 110 to 140, the wallpaper is considered good.
Non-woven wallpaper in bedroom design
The basis for the production of this wallpaper is non-woven material- interlining. It has a high density and consists of cellulose fibers with the addition of polymer materials. There are several options for applying patterns to the base.
Non-woven wallpaper: direct application
The pattern is applied to a non-woven base. Such wallpapers are much stronger than paper ones, but they also have their drawbacks.
- Strength;
- Ability to pass air;
- They do not swell or shrink, which makes it possible to glue them to the wall immediately after applying the glue;
- Smooth out minor irregularities and cracks on the walls;
- Eco-friendly.
- Wallpaper cannot be washed; care for it is the same as for paper;
- They burn out pretty quickly.
Non-woven wallpaper: polymer coating
The design is applied to a polymer coating that covers the paper. As a rule, this is vinyl covering. It can be smooth, foamed and embossed (silk-screen printing). The surface of such wallpaper can imitate brickwork or plaster.
- Resistance to external influences;
- Ability to remove dirt using a wet method;
- Wallpaper hide minor defects walls - cracks, small potholes, chips;
- Significant tensile strength.
- The polymer coating does not allow “breathing” because it does not allow air to pass through;
- Some polymers can release toxic substances into the air; therefore, it is necessary to choose only certified wallpaper: GOST 6810-2002 “Wallpaper”.
Textile wallpaper in the bedroom interior
Fabric wallpapers are more expensive than paper ones, but they have a number of advantages that are difficult to ignore. Both of these are made from two layers, the bottom one is non-woven or thick paper, upper - fabric threads or fabric cloth. The fabric can be silk, linen, cotton, jute, velor, felt.
- Exclusivity;
- Environmental friendliness;
- Improved sound and heat insulation properties;
- Difficult to maintain, do not allow wet cleaning;
- Low resistance to moisture, dust, damage, which is especially critical if there are animals in the house;
- Complex pasting procedure requiring the participation of a specialist;
- High cost.
Vinyl wallpaper in bedroom design
As a rule, vinyl-coated non-woven wallpaper is not used in the bedroom. The reason is the lack of ability to pass air. As a result, the walls under such wallpaper cannot “breathe”, and fungus may grow under the wallpaper. A room covered with vinyl wallpaper requires frequent ventilation.
- A wide variety of colors and textures at a relatively low price;
- Possibility of wet wallpaper care.
- Not environmental;
- Inability to pass air and moisture vapor.
Other types of wallpaper
In addition to these most common types, there are other wallpaper options. For example, photo wallpaper that allows you to decorate an entire wall with a city view, a picture of nature or an abstract design. Usually photo wallpapers have an adhesive layer. Wallpaper is made from fiberglass, usually for painting. In addition, wallpaper made from natural materials - cork, leather, bamboo - has recently become increasingly popular.
