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.
Vinyl
They are also called washable. The basis of such wallpaper is paper or non-woven fabric, and the outer layer is polyvinyl chloride (PVC). By the way, this is the same polymer from which they are made plastic windows and suspended ceilings.
How to successfully choose wallpaper for furniture
Wallpaper and furniture are the main design elements of any room. For the best final result, you should take care the right combination colors of walls and bedroom furniture. Thanks to the harmonious combination, the room will look beautiful and cozy.
Bedroom with light furniture
There can be many options. It all depends on the desired end result and the area of the room.
If the room is small, then choose light wallpaper for light-colored furniture. This will preserve the feeling of free space. Otherwise, the room may turn into a dark “box”. White, golden beige, light green, ocher, muted orange - all these colors are excellent partners for a light furniture set.
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.
Bedroom with dark furniture
A wide variety of combinations are also possible. Most often, dark furniture is made in warm colors, so use the advice indicated above - warm colors and shades. Green, brown, beige, sand color options should first of all attract your attention among other options.
Successful solutions for choosing wallpaper in different styles
Modern
According to the chosen style of the room, the wallpaper in this case should:
- Be fashionable by design
- Do not have excesses in the drawing
- Be made from modern environmentally friendly materials
- Serve as a backdrop for the setting
A clear classic combination of wallpaper with furniture or a play of contrasts – it’s up to you. It is important to maintain the correct design balance: after all, the Art Nouveau style involves a competent combination of all interior components.
Provence
A bedroom in Provence style is a nice, cozy room with elegant (usually light) furniture and whimsical designs on textiles and wallpaper. There are many options for choosing wallpaper colors. Blue and its shades, white, beige, golden yellow, light green. It is possible that all the colors inherent in the style will be found in the wallpaper design.
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. It's about imitation brickwork(real exposed masonry is unlikely to 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 shades, 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.
An excellent choice would be plain wallpaper in a muted (even somewhat faded) tone with a discreet pattern.
Japanese style
In order to adequately embody this style, you need to adhere to its basic principles.
- Laconic details
- Minimalism in decoration
- Use of natural materials
- Interior decoration in neutral colors
Regarding “clothing” for the walls, you need to make a choice: either it is wooden panels, or wallpaper with an ethnic pattern.
Classic
Minimalism
Because this style assumes the most laconic interior, then the wallpaper in the room must comply with this rule. The color of the wallpaper can be almost any (it depends on the overall chosen color range premises). But it’s better to be careful with drawings. 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.
Wallpaper colors in the interior of a room: options and their features
Blue
Light and simple, limitless and light color. This is the choice of true romantics.
Its properties include, first of all, a calming effect. In contrast to its “relative” blue, it does not seem gloomy and even in abundance will not oppress and oppress. Very good for small rooms, as it visually expands the space.

Popular cool color. At the same time, it is calming and reduces activity. It will look great in large bedroom(will help make it more comfortable), but is contraindicated in small bedrooms (as it optically reduces the space).
Black
A very contradictory color in bedroom design. On the one hand, it looks intriguing and even somewhat mystical, on the other hand, it “presses” with its richness. It is best used in combination with other colors. Most good option combinations are black and white.
White
A universal color in terms of freedom of action. After all, you can combine it with almost everything else. By itself, it conveys a feeling of openness and lightness, but without partner flowers it can look rustic and boring.
Yellow
An accommodating partner for many other flowers. A good option for small spaces and rooms with insufficient natural light.
Brown
We can say that this is a timeless color in the design of bedrooms. All shades of brown have a calming effect on the psyche and help you relax.
Wallpaper color and cardinal direction
- The windows face south. This means there is a lot of light in the room. Accordingly: you need to select wallpaper in rich, dark tones (purple, blue, dark blue, chocolate, muted terracotta).
- The windows face north. The lack of lighting can be compensated by choosing wallpaper in warm colors: purple, yellow-green, light orange, golden yellow.
Combined wallpapers - bold solutions for excellent results
There are several options for combining wallpaper and stickers:
- Horizontal arrangement
- Vertical arrangement
- Individual inserts
For successful results, follow important rule sticking combined wallpaper: When choosing different colors (shades), maintain a uniform texture.
| Ways to combine wallpaper | |
|---|---|
| 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). |
| Horizontal | A fairly popular way of zoning walls using wallpaper. There are many combination options - both in terms of wallpaper combinations and in the method of dividing the walls into parts. More often bottom part The walls are covered with wallpaper with a more saturated and dynamic pattern, the top - with more moderate colors and tone. |
| Inserts | As a rule, wallpaper inserts of a different color (different from the main one) are placed near the bed or table. For a complete effect, the inserts are most often framed with a baguette. The shape of the insert can be square, rectangular, or oval. |
| 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
Harmony is the most important rule for arranging photo wallpapers! It is recommended to use only one wall for the location of the photograph, otherwise the room will look overloaded.
Principles for arranging photo wallpapers:
- "One wall." The classic option is to place 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.

Rules for wallpapering
The variety of wallpaper choices amazes the modern consumer. This applies to both colors and abundance of species. However, there are a number of rules that can be called universal for any type of wallpaper. Below we present them in the order in which they will be useful to you when pasting.
- To make old wallpaper easier to remove from the walls, moisten it with water. As soon as they are saturated with moisture, start “undressing the walls.”
- Uneven walls must be eliminated before wallpapering. The putty should be applied with sweeping movements, and the excess should be removed. Plastered walls are sanded and primed. Then they must dry.
- Choose an adhesive that is suitable for your wallpaper. This will affect the quality of the pasting result.
- When wallpapering walls, there should be no drafts in the room.
- Wallpaper must be applied end to end.
The main finishing material will set the mood of the room. Most often, this material is wallpaper. There are nuances in texture and other parameters. But the main thing is to choose the right wallpaper color in the interior. You should approach the process already prepared. Everything will be discussed in more detail later in the article.
What can influence the choice of color?
It is not customary to design all rooms in the house in the same style.
They need to be separated from each other. This is also done with finishing materials. You immediately need to figure out how the room will be used? For the living room normal condition is a state of fun, trouble. Guests usually gather there. The apartment owner is faced with the task of creating a bright environment so that guests do not get bored.
The opposite situation is with the bedroom. In the bedroom, most of the time is spent sleeping, so there should be a calm environment. You can’t use shades in the bedroom that give a boost of energy and suppress laziness. You won't be able to relax in this situation. The issue of dimensions cannot be ignored. Finishing material plays an important role in the visual perception of space. There are techniques that increase space. There are ways to compensate for too spacious rooms. It’s just important not to confuse the shades.
Lighting Features
The choice of color is also influenced by lighting features. When the window faces north, this leads to poor quality lighting. Poor quality natural lighting needs to be compensated. It is not enough to install lamps. You also need to choose the color of the material wisely.
Advice
To avoid discomfort in a dark room with the lights off, you need to use light shades. It is advisable not to go out of style.
You can’t thoughtlessly use them just because you like their shade or pattern.. Some styles are strict in this regard, for example, baroque or classic. There are fewer problems with conventional modernity, but it also has its own requirements. They affect brightness. You need to be able to combine correctly. You cannot use different shades in one composition. It is important to maintain harmony everywhere.
The color of the wallpaper should be in harmony with the furniture.
The issue of practicality cannot be avoided. Dirt on white shades is very noticeable. For a bedroom or living room this is not so important. This factor is more important for the kitchen. Ceilings and walls get dirty there much faster. Proximity of the stove, heat from the oven, cooking, lack free space- all this makes the walls very vulnerable.
Advice
You need to choose practical materials.
The location of the material is also a key factor. For one, it is better for it to be located on the wall. Others feel more at home on the ceiling. You should try on the shade in advance, even before gluing. This will help you understand the right choice.
Nuances of choosing for the hall
For rooms, there are four factors that influence the choice of material color:
- You need to look at the orientation relative to the cardinal direction.
- Evaluate the interior style.
- Determine if the furniture is multi-colored.
- You need to stick to your taste.
Sometimes living rooms are multifunctional. In the usual sense, the living room is needed for leisure. The kitchen is used for eating, and the bedroom is used for sleeping. If all of the above actions are performed in the living room, then versatility will be an important factor.
- It must be taken into account that people eat in the living room, which means that the chance of contamination increases. Children will be playing there, so they need to create a fun environment.
- Sleep will also take place there. Therefore, you can’t go too far with brightness either. You won't be able to sleep well with bright colors.
- Premises must be allocated separately. But there shouldn't be any obvious contrast. This is especially appropriate in situations where material needs to be changed in several rooms at once. After moving from a pale room to a bright one, your eyes may begin to ripple. This cannot be allowed.
Combination of shades of furniture and finishing materials
The selection takes place after purchasing the furniture. Wallpaper should either set off the furniture or emphasize it. They should not draw attention to themselves. This sequence is explained simply. It is easier to buy new ones than to completely change furniture. If the contrast of the furniture is dark, then you should use light ones. Warm shades such as pear, mustard, and sand are allowed.
This rule does not work in reverse.
Advice
White furniture does not have to be set off with dark wallpaper.
White furniture gives almost complete freedom in choice.
You can’t just use white wallpaper, otherwise it will blend into the background.
Color can be:
- purple;
- emerald;
- sapphire.
Beige shades will give the room a calm atmosphere in the room.
If there is brown or reddish furniture in the room, you should use dark ones.
- burgundy;
- purple;
- rich green.
Nowadays it is fashionable to buy blue furniture. It looks stylish and not cheap. Blue doesn't get boring. The background of the room directly depends on the purpose of using the living room. Using the living room for leisure requires the use of red or yellow.
To relax you need to use wallpaper:
- beige;
- cream;
- light blue.
Peach furniture is used less often. When purchasing peach-colored items, you need to make the background in the room brighter. This is a case where a brighter background will help make the furniture stand out. Looks elegant with peach:
- grey;
- blue;
- pearl shade.
Location nuances
You should remember about the side of the living room when purchasing material. When facing east or west, it does not matter where the windows are installed. This does not apply to situations where the windows are blocked by tall trees. Then problems with room lighting may occur. Problems occur on the first floors when the window faces south or north or when trees obstruct the view of the window. Then there can be two options: when there is not enough light or when there is too much light.
- If there is little light in the room, and the window faces north, it means that there will be very little light in the summer. Illumination comes from light reflected from the sky. Gray or blue cannot be used. These colors will match the shade of the sky in winter and summer, respectively. You cannot use pale shades or cold contrasts. You can save the room with wallpaper with bright colors.
- Too much large number light is also harmful. My eyes hurt and I can't concentrate on anything. Then you should use cold ones. This is a light khaki beige gray. Dark background is allowed.
You cannot add red or yellow colors to an initially bright room. The rays will be reflected from them, and the eyes will begin to get more tired. Among the neutrals, white stands out.
Nuances of human psychology
Red
The correct choice affects whether a person wants to be in the room or not. Considered ideal for the living room red. It will add a festive atmosphere and energy. It is difficult to stay in such a room for a long time. For rare stays in the room, a red shade is suitable. It is in no way suitable for relaxation; rather, on the contrary, color gives strength for further work.
Yellow
It is advisable not to use only red ones, but to dilute them with neutral shades. Yellow is more calm. The presence of yellow will give the room an atmosphere of family comfort. This can also include a golden hue. It also gives a certain boost of energy, but the color is not as aggressive. Pale gold and corn can be included in this category.
Blue
To create a calm environment, use blue ones. They act as a pressure and nerve stabilizer. Excessive use of blue in decoration will make guests feel overwhelmed. If the window faces north, then you can use a bright blue tint. It is classified as warm.
Green
Greens give an association with nature. Some may associate it with spring, with leaves, with the forest. Like blue, green has a calming effect on people. A living room with greenery can be used for meditation. Depending on the location of the sides, the temperature of the green tint is selected. Beige shade Although it is considered a classic, you can overdo it, and then the room will become boring. It does not give any surge of strength and does not affect mood in any way.
Beige
Beige can be used as a neutral background. Fashion trends is the use of gray. All its shades are also included here. If the color of the furniture is too saturated, or the furniture takes a lot of attention, then they can be shaded with gray wallpaper. Materials with cold look organically for rooms in high-tech styles and for industrial premises.
Depending on the interior style:
- With minimalism you need to use monochrome shades. In addition to white, these are beige and gray.
- For country style, yellow, blue, and red are considered native. Moreover, both rich and delicate shades are suitable.
- In the Provence style, you need to focus on spring shades. It is a pink, cream, lavender color.
- Both bright and neutral gray rolls are equally suitable for high-tech. Here you need to analyze how the furniture looks in practice.
- For classic interior desired classic neutral shades. You can use a pastel background. There can't be any bright materials here.
- IN Scandinavian style Wallpaper with a variegated palette is also not welcome.
- The fusion style stands out. There should be used rolls with different shades. Such rolls need to be softened with brown or white furniture. The walls can also be covered with gold wallpaper.
Commitment to Feng Shui
For those people who believe in Eastern teachings and are interested in the philosophy of Feng Shui, the following information will be useful.
According to this philosophy, there are several elements, and when arranging a room, you need to separate these elements.
Wood cannot collide with metal, fire cannot collide with water. Each of the elements has its own direction and its own set of shades.
- Choosing a family direction involves using red and green.
- Black and blue shades are favorable for a career.
It is also important to consider in which sector of the apartment the living room is located.
Finding a room in the northern sector obliges you to adhere to the element of Water. Then the wallpaper should be blue or black. It is important to choose warm shades of blue or black. Dark shades will make a gloomy room even gloomier. Neutral white is acceptable.
There are different rules for rooms in the western sectors. Yellow, gold, gray shades. For the north and southeast, you need to use terracotta and orange, as these are the colors of the Earth.
For eastern rooms you need to use green ones. This is the element of wood. For rooms located in the south you need to use everything that resembles the color of Fire. These are red, orange, purple. But philosophy does not prohibit the use green tint for wall decoration.
There are not many options for the living room in the center of the apartment - these are shades of red and brown.
Choice for the bedroom
For the bedroom, you need to focus on the fact that the day will begin with this room. And a person’s mood depends on what color of wallpaper is used. It should be noted right away that aggressive colors are prohibited. There will be no quality sleep, and annoying ones will lead to frustration and quarrels. Too minor will also not lead to anything good, since the room should not turn a person into a lazy creature.
You should immediately consider a selection of popular shades:
- Blues are often chosen because they are calming, despite their coldness. You can only use light blue, not blue. Blue is allowed only for compact rooms - it can visually expand them.
- The mood of green is perfect for the bedroom. Color gives relaxing emotions, relieves stress, and allows you to relax.
- It’s not for nothing that universal ones have such a title - they can be used everywhere. You can combine anything with white. The room will be light and open, but if there are other shades along with white. Having only white will make the room look impersonal. This is a good option for small bedrooms. It goes with most popular colors. These can be used in bedrooms with poor lighting.
- The use of yellow compensates for this deficiency. Like white, brown can be classified as a universal shade. It will never go away in reality. It has the most positive impact. In such a room you can relax.
Are there any conflicting colors for the bedroom?
There are several colors thatunder certain circumstances can be used in the bedroom. But we must immediately make a reservation – the colors are contradictory. For example, this is red wallpaper. It is the color of aggression, leadership and dominance. Leaders and easy-going people like him. The color is most often used in the living room, but it can be used in the bedroom as well. But then the red wallpaper will need to be diluted with a light finish.
Blue is cool. It definitely needs to be diluted. Otherwise blue wallpaper will cause melancholy and depression. For small bedrooms this is prohibited.
Black can overwhelm its richness, so splashes of beige or white are a must. A completely black interior for a bedroom is unacceptable.
Cardinal directions for the bedroom
As in the living room, the cardinal directions play a big role in the bedroom. . Especially if the apartment owner is interested in Feng Shui. If the windows face south, then there will be no problem with light. After lunch there will be too much light, so you need to absorb it:
- blue;
- purple;
- terracotta.
All of the above rules are relevant only for spacious bedrooms. There is no need to use dark ones for compact bedrooms. When the window faces north, there will be a lack of light. Then even opening the curtains will not greatly improve the situation. You will need to use wallpaper in a beige, gold or yellow shade.
Color combination of wallpaper and furniture
It is customary to plan the overall range in advance, so that in practice you do not end up with a frankly unsuccessful combination of finishing materials and furniture.
Horizontal stripes are used to zone the room. At the bottom of the room, dark wallpaper with a dynamic pattern is used. At the top of the room there will be calm tones. Vertical stripes can be made monochromatic. The width of the stripes can be selected to be the same as the dimensions of the bed. The material can either reach the ceiling or go beyond it. Inserts are required to highlight space. Often the area above the bed is highlighted.
Advice
If there is a niche in the room, then it is worth making it the same as the other walls.
For the kitchen
The kitchen has exactly the same requirements for choosing wallpaper. It is necessary to take into account the degree of illumination and the size of the room. It is customary to compensate for the lack of lighting with warm colors in the wallpaper. This:
- beige;
- cream;
- yellow wallpaper.
A warm shade is not required if there is a lot of light in the room. Here you should choose neutral ones.
This is the choice:
- peach;
- wheat;
- olive wallpaper.
Muted cool shades are suitable. They will give the kitchen a cozy atmosphere.
A more aggressive red for the kitchen is considered a bold color. It can cause irritation if you overdo it with saturation. Red – color confident people. Feng Shui philosophy says that red light can increase appetite. If you approach the issue from this side, then red wallpaper for the kitchen will come in handy.
Advice
It is best to dilute red wallpaper with black inserts or black furniture.
Cool shades are designed to soothe. But they are not suitable for the kitchen. In the kitchen, the main thing is to stimulate appetite, and blue has no effect on this process. Blue does not add coziness, but if the windows face south, they give a lot of light. Excessive lighting can be extinguished with wallpaper in blue tones. Both red and white shades look good with blue.
Wallpaper for a small bedroom plays an important role; how comfortable it will be to stay and sleep in it will depend on the color and pattern. Khrushchev buildings, dormitories and old-type apartments rarely boast spacious rooms, simple wall decoration techniques will help “stretch” a narrow bedroom and adjust the low height, while maintaining its comfort and unique style.
Rules for choosing wallpaper to visually enlarge a room
There are a number of ways to visually enlarge a room. In order to choose any of the options, you need to decide which of the parameters of the bedroom you are not satisfied with and would like to increase. However general rules remain unchanged and will help expand the boundaries of not only the bedroom, but also any other room.
- Wallpaper with vertical or horizontal stripes visually stretches and expands the space of a small bedroom,
- the lighter the tone of the finish, the more spacious the small room seems; white and blue colors cope especially well with this task,
- Photo wallpaper with a perspective, for example a road receding into the distance, will visually increase the area of a small bedroom,
- in a small room without windows, photo wallpaper with a picture of an open window and artificial daylight will help get rid of the feeling of enclosed space,
- in a small bedroom located on the north side, it is better to use warm-colored wallpaper for decoration; they make up for the lack of sunlight.
Which wallpaper color is better to choose?
Everyone knows the rule light colors make a small bedroom feel more spacious. However, this does not mean that the walls in the room should be exclusively white. Delicate shades will become the best solution to create a comfortable design. Colors such as beige, sky blue, light grey, cream or sand will refresh the interior or make it warmer without sacrificing precious square footage.
Which shade to choose depends on the location of the room, more precisely on which side the windows face and how bright the lighting is in the room. Also, a small bedroom does not mean the absence of bright colors and large patterns; an accent wall or a fragment of it will add color to the bedroom interior.
For a dark bedroom
The lack of light in a small bedroom can be compensated with artificial lighting, mirrors and the correct color of wallpaper. The finishing should be in a light palette, and the priority colors are warm shades, sand, light yellow, beige, light green. These colors will fill a small room with warm colors and will be associated with sun rays.
For a bright bedroom
Near the bright bedroom more possibilities, you can use bright elements in it, but it is better to choose the main tone that is also light, but cold. Blue, gray, white, mint. These shades will refresh the bedroom by maintaining the balance of light.
What design or pattern should I choose to increase space?
The design of a small bedroom will be equally successful with plain wallpaper and patterned coverings, the main thing is to choose it correctly.
- If the decoration of a small bedroom will be completely done with one type of wallpaper, then it is better to choose a small pattern,
- Three-dimensional images should be used to decorate only one of the walls of a small room,
- for a small room with a high ceiling, horizontal stripes or patterns would be a good option; they will “push apart” the walls,
- you need to take into account the future design of the room; if you plan to fill the interior with bright details and textiles, then you should choose plain wallpaper.
Large drawing or ornament
You can decorate one of the walls of a small bedroom with three-dimensional images and ornaments. This could be the head of the bed, the wall behind the TV, or a randomly selected area. It is better to decorate the rest of the bedroom with light, plain wallpaper or with a small, nondescript pattern.
This method helps to focus attention on one of the walls, making it voluminous. In a very small room large drawing may occupy only a small part of the wall, however, it will still be noticeable. The image should match the style of the room and reflect its mood.
Flowers and plants
Plant and flower themes look good in a delicate and romantic interior.

Before you start renovation work When arranging the room, you need to choose a style and decide on a color scheme.
How to choose the color of wallpaper? First of all, it is necessary to take into account the location of the windows, the lighting of the room, the resistance of paints to fading, as well as the colors of curtains and furniture.
If window openings If the room faces north, it is better to choose wallpaper in warm colors, for example, yellow, orange, light beige, pink. Windows face south - use cool shades such as emerald, blue-gray, jade.
If the room is well lit by sunlight, then it would be appropriate to use wallpaper in dark colors - sapphire, terracotta, cornflower blue. In a shaded room, it is better to choose colors that have reflective properties - gold, golden yellow, orange.
Remember that wallpapers in blue and cyan shades quickly fade under the influence of the sun, and dark blue ones in shaded rooms begin to cast gray.
TO light walls you need furniture in light colors, and dark wallpaper requires dark furniture. If the curtains and furniture are decorated, and the walls are decorated with carpets and paintings, in this situation it is better to opt for smooth wallpaper or wallpaper with small patterns.
Speaking of a possible wallpaper design, it may have different size, be contrasting or muted, placed often or rarely.
The abundance of large flowers visually reduces the volume of the room, while small, sparsely located flowers, on the contrary, expand the space. Also, a large floral pattern can serve as an accent for different style directions. Small ones are usually used as a neutral basis for design.
If you want furniture or any other decorative details to dominate the interior, then opt for wallpaper with a discreet, muted pattern. If your goal is the opposite, then do the opposite.

This drawback can be avoided by choosing wallpaper with wide stripes or stripes with blurred boundaries. This nuance can play an important role when decorating a small room.
Another variation of the wallpaper pattern are large spots. They can be arranged in an orderly, ornamental or chaotic manner.

It is best to use them as accents, highlighting individual zones with them. Also, retouched spots give an interesting effect, which is expressed in the play of light and shadow.
Another type of wallpaper pattern is the so-called grainy decor. It looks like small spots-drops of different tones, as if obtained using a spray bottle. This print perfectly hides and hides all the imperfections of the walls. This property allows you to use such wallpaper for rooms of a wide variety of designs.
There are also plain or smooth wallpapers. They perfectly emphasize and highlight every detail of the interior, regardless of the style in which it is designed. But they have one rather significant drawback - they need to be glued only to an immaculately flat surface, since they do not hide the imperfections of the walls.
