Wallpaper stores are like a separate city: you can wander between the racks endlessly. Especially if you come there without specific wishes. It’s not enough to know how vinyl differs from paper. It is necessary to take into account the color, pattern, and design of the room for which they are intended. To understand all the nuances, the TAM.BY team talked with Elena Dmitrieva, consultant at the Wallpaper Empire store.

Wallpaper material

Today, the market offers vinyl, paper, non-woven, textile, flock and glass wallpaper. Let's talk in more detail about each variety.

Vinyl wallpaper

They consist of two layers: a paper bottom layer and a reinforcing PVC top layer. Thanks to polyvinyl chloride (PVC), such wallpapers last a long time, do not deform, and are resistant to accidental damage and moisture. Some types of vinyl wallpaper can be wiped with a damp cloth.

They vary in texture and can be used in any room. The vinyl layer can imitate velvet, fabric, textured plaster, wood, brick and other materials.

Be careful when choosing such wallpaper. Trust only reliable manufacturers. Cheap, low-quality material is impregnated with chemicals, which, when interacting with wallpaper glue, can emit formaldehyde vapor for about 4 years. Therefore, do not chase the low price.

Paper wallpaper

They confidently lead in consumer preferences, primarily due to low price. Today, these wallpapers are presented in two versions: simplex (single-layer) and duplex (double-layer).

Of course, duplex is stronger. But whatever one may say, it's all the same paper wallpaper. They don’t last long, they fade in the sun, they absorb moisture, and they definitely won’t withstand the claws of pets,” warns Elena.

Although such wallpaper is perfect for those who like a constant change of environment and often make repairs. And also for families with small children. If the baby paints them, it’s not scary. Replacing with new ones will not hurt your pocket.

Paper wallpaper is also often used when preparing an apartment for sale and in offices. But with careful handling they will last quite a long time.

Non-woven wallpaper

Non-woven wallpaper is based on viscose, which gives it elasticity and strength. They do not stretch when glued to the wall, they can even be painted.

It is convenient to make repairs with such wallpaper: the glue is already applied to it, so all you have to do is coat the wall with it.

Clean the wallpaper with a damp cloth or vacuum cleaner. They do not fade and easily come off the wall. So during the next repair it will be easy to remove them.

However, when buying non-woven wallpaper with a voluminous, convex pattern, keep in mind that dents remain on them, so you need to handle them with care.

Textile (fabric) wallpaper

This is a premium wallpaper. They are based on non-woven fabric or paper, and a layer of fabric is applied on top. It can be anything: silk, felt, linen, velor, jute.

Textile wallpaper can be solid, thread or seamless. And they will suit a truly unique, rich interior.

This is not cheap, so it is selected very carefully. The interior, the size of the rooms, and lighting are taken into account.

True, this luxury also has disadvantages: fabric wallpaper is difficult to clean and can fade if exposed to sunlight.

Flock (velvet) wallpaper

These wallpapers also cannot be called aimed at the mass consumer. They are really beautiful, varied in color and texture. A flock pattern imitating velvet is applied on top.

Gluing such wallpaper is not easy. Special glue is applied only to the wall, and if it gets on the front side of the wallpaper, it is almost impossible to clean it. More often this piece is simply cut off.

You can only care for such wallpaper by “dry cleaning”. But they do not fade in the sun.

Glass wallpaper

Fiberglass wallpaper is new to the market. They are based on fiberglass threads, which make the surface very durable. They don't even care about the claws of pets.

This wallpaper can be painted more than once. They are non-toxic and allow air to pass through well. They last a long time. Another plus is that they do not get scuffed from nearby tables and chairs.

They can be glued to drywall without prior preparation.

The main thing is to carefully read the instructions for them. Because there are more and more varieties and they need to be exploited correctly.

Wallpaper color and pattern

Wallpaper should be chosen like clothes: try them on. To get a good look at the option you like, unwind a roll of 1.5-2 meters. Ask your consultant to attach the sample to the wall. Stand back and appreciate the overall appearance. This way there is less chance of making a mistake.

Also be mindful of lighting. It may differ in the store and at home. So wallpaper in cool tones can take on a dirty tint in a southern room. It wouldn’t hurt to look at the wallpaper in sunny and rainy weather. Sometimes the difference is simply amazing.

Manufacturers combine wallpaper of the same style into collections. Try not to buy rolls from different collections. This can have a bad effect on the interior.

You can wander around the store looking for something you like endlessly. It’s better to decide on the interior style right away: classic, modern, avant-garde - this will significantly narrow down your search.

In order not to make a mistake with the color, you need to have a clear idea of the future filling of the room. If the furniture has already been purchased, take a photo of it. This way you will always remember the exact shades of the interior. When purchasing doors and furniture, be sure to take samples of veneers and upholstery. This will also help you choose the most suitable wallpaper color.

Now let's decide on the drawing. Experts divide them into several groups: flowers, stripes, spotted backgrounds, large ornaments and smooth backgrounds (without a pattern).

The first includes not only wallpapers with peonies and lilacs, but in general drawings with any shapes. As a rule, the overall perception is influenced not by a specific pattern, but by its size, frequency, and contrast. Thus, closely spaced large elements visually reduce the space, while rare and small ones increase it. Clear, well-drawn drawings will immediately attract attention and emphasize themselves, while blurry ones will look more neutral.

Wallpaper with perpendicular stripes makes the ceiling higher, but reduces the volume of the room. Wide stripes smooth out this effect a little. So, for small rooms it is better to use wallpaper with wide stripes. But the most ideal option is slightly blurred stripes. They will make the room taller, but will not “steal” its volume.

Spotted backgrounds are small alternating specks of several shades. They look like splashes or specks. Their main advantage is the ability to hide wall unevenness. Therefore, such wallpaper can be glued on any surface.

It is better not to glue plain wallpaper on uneven walls: all the flaws will be visible. Otherwise there are no restrictions. They look neutral and do not distract attention. If you need to emphasize the decor of the room, focus on the furniture, then plain wallpaper is the right choice. They are also suitable if you plan to hang framed paintings and photos on the wall.

To make it easier to decide on the color of the wallpaper, take a closer look at the shades already in the room. TO blue color Yellow, white, turquoise, lavender and other natural tones are suitable. For red elements - pink and white. Purple wallpaper combined with gray, blue, yellow, lavender pink. Green is combined with orange or yellow and light brown shades.

The remaining colors of the wallpaper can be combined with shades formed on their basis. Experts advise combining wallpapers that differ from each other by 1-2 tones.

Pay attention to the label

Be sure to look for the manufacturer's stamp. It must indicate: his data, serial number, quality of material, part of the drawing (report), direction of the drawing. If the wallpaper requires special treatment, this is also indicated in the instructions.

Typically, wallpaper parameters are indicated using special notations. We have made a small reminder that will help you understand the meaning of what is drawn.

Also, do not hesitate to ask the store for quality certificates. They reflect all the characteristics of the selected product. Give preference to reliable, proven manufacturers. Then the purchase will definitely not disappoint.

To decorate your interior beautifully, you need to think about harmonious combination color scheme of walls and furniture. Such an important detail can fill a room with light, visually expand, narrow or lengthen the space, create a cozy atmosphere, and place the necessary accents.

Selecting wallpaper for furniture in different rooms

It's no secret that colors can influence a person's emotional state and mood. Each room has its own harmonious range of shades.

Wallpaper for bedroom furniture

Bedroom design needs to be taken into account. If the furniture, its arrangement and color palette made in the style of avant-garde, art deco, modern or minimalism, then excellent choice There will be wallpaper in light shades, which will serve as a wonderful element of relaxation.

In the case of the original ( unusual shapes) or natural (stone or wood) furniture - you should use neutral wallpaper with colorful inserts in the form of mosaics or geometric shapes. This contrast will create a creative and inspiring atmosphere.

Wallpaper for furniture in the living room

The hall most often contains bulky furniture. You can dilute it with combined wallpaper, which can make one part of the room more calm and cozy, and the other rich and juicy.

If the furniture in the living room is made in light shades, you can choose a beige wall covering with bright inserts or colorful wallpaper with light inclusions. If this classic style, it is better to stick to neutral tones.

Wallpaper for furniture in a children's room

A room for small children most often contains furniture of interesting designs, unusual beds and bright shelves. This is an ideal place for photo wallpapers that will complement the atmosphere of joy, childhood and emotions.

A calm child will feel comfortable being in bright room(beige, peach, lemon wallpapers), and the active – in colorful (photo wallpapers with cartoon characters).

To prevent the space from seeming too busy and cluttered, you can make one wall (which is behind the bed) neutral, and the rest brighter.

Wallpaper for furniture in the kitchen

Nowadays, rarely does anyone buy separate furniture for the kitchen. Built-in projects are becoming more and more popular. They range from dark gray to light yellow.

In this case, it is worth remembering that wallpaper can look organic if the color is chosen one or two shades lighter than dark furniture and one or two shades brighter than light furniture. You can also make furniture and walls in the same tone. It looks practical and beautiful in the kitchen.

Wallpaper for bathroom furniture

Do not forget that wallpaper should not only harmoniously emphasize the aesthetics of the room, but also meet such important criteria as moisture resistance and breathability. The perfect solution for a bathroom with any furniture - pastel colors. They are always relevant, especially in the bedroom and bathroom.

When creating the interior of a room, the greatest attention should be paid to the finishing of the wall surfaces.

It is best to stick to wallpapering the walls, as they will not only decorate your room, but will also significantly insulate it.

Currently, some residents paper not only the walls, but also the ceilings, combining two types of wallpaper. In this article, we will consider in more detail which wallpaper color to choose for a particular room.

Wallpaper is a building material roll material, made on paper or some other basis. When choosing the type of wallpaper, you should consider what end result you want to get from it?

After all, correctly selected wallpaper will not only please the eye, but will also create coziness and a comfortable atmosphere in your room.

How to choose wallpaper?

When choosing, you should first of all pay attention to:

invoice (embossing, silk-screen printing, vinyl, velor or regular paper wallpaper);
drawing (stripes, flowers, large spots, as well as smooth or spotted backgrounds);
color (light, neutral or dark).

All these positions are interconnected and therefore, telling how to choose the right wallpaper color, we will, to one degree or another, talk about their patterns and textures.

Before starting work on decorating a house or apartment, you must first decide on the style and color scheme your interior.

This task can be completed more quickly by taking into account the following: general recommendations:

By color

Window location. If the room faces north, then wallpaper will do warm shades– yellow, orange, cream, pink. If to the south, then cold ones - green, bluish-gray, bluish-green.

Natural light. Use wallpaper in good lighting dark color– blue, terracotta, dark blue. If the room is shaded, then use wallpaper that perfectly reflects sunlight– golden, yellow, orange.

Lightfastness of paints. Blue and blue wallpaper When exposed to sunlight, they fade greatly, and blue ones in dark rooms acquire a gray tint.

Color of curtains and furniture. Light furniture harmonizes perfectly with light wallpaper, and dark furniture with dark wallpaper. If the curtains and upholstery are decorated, and carpets, photographs and paintings are hung on the walls, then smooth wallpaper or with small patterns would be appropriate.

According to the drawing

The wallpaper is made in the form of “flowers”, they can be:

large or small;
contrasting or blurry;
rare or frequent.

Large and frequent flowers visually make the room smaller, while rare and small flowers significantly expand it. In addition, a large “floral” design dominates the frames different styles, and small is used mainly as a neutral style background.

If you want to focus on stylish furniture or other bright interior items in the room, then choose wallpaper with discreet and vague patterns and vice versa.

In addition to “colorful” ones, “striped” wallpapers are also widely used. , because they go well with almost objects various styles. Vertical stripes visually the space of the room is reduced, but at the same time the ceiling height is significantly increased.

And if you use wallpaper with wide vertical stripes or the borders of the stripes are less contrasting, then you can immediately solve these problems, which is important for small rooms.

The next version of the wallpaper pattern is “large spots” , which can be ordered, ornamental or chaotic in appearance. They stand out very clearly on the wall, so it is not advisable to cover the entire room with them, but you can only highlight certain areas (one or part of the wall).

In addition, blurry “spots” create a decorative effect in the form of a play of light and shadow.

Another type of wallpaper is “spotted backgrounds” (grainy decor) , which are small droplets-spots of various shades, as if sprayed with a spray bottle. They perfectly hide and mask all the flaws of the pasted surfaces, and also scatter light rays in different directions.

This allows you to use wallpaper with such an interesting pattern for almost any surface and various modern styles.

In addition to “spotted” wallpapers, there are also “smooth” or plain ones. Against their background, all the objects in the room stand out perfectly, for example, decorative panels, photographs, paintings. And here it doesn’t matter what style you choose: classic or avant-garde.

The only drawback of such wallpaper is that it must be pasted on perfectly smooth walls, since all the irregularities and defects will appear and be visible. Of course, experts are trying to solve this problem as well - they have now launched plain wallpaper with a denser and more embossed texture.

How to choose the color of wallpaper for rooms?

1. Children's room . Increasingly, zoning of different areas is used here, directly depending on their purpose. To do this, you need to paste two types of wallpaper: in the recreation area ( sleeping place) calm pastel colors with white, beige and yellow shades, without large and bright patterns, and we decorate the work area (the active games and activities area) with wallpaper with rich bright tones.

Paper or vinyl-coated wallpaper with a children's special theme and made in a certain color scheme, depending on the age and gender of the child, may be suitable. Up to 2 years old, it is best to use desaturated soft tones, from 2 to 8 - wallpaper with cheerful designs that develop the child’s imagination and horizons, and for schoolchildren we choose wallpaper in calmer and more austere colors.

2. Bedroom. Any type of wallpaper will do, but it is preferable to use the most durable silk-screen or vinyl-coated wallpaper.

We choose a pastel range of colors, avoiding irritating and “flashy” ones.

The ideal solution is to decorate the room in blue tones, which will create a feeling of coolness and help keep nervous system in good shape.

3. Living room, hall . You can also paste any wallpaper here. Since all special events, as well as friendly “get-togethers” with friends, are mainly held in the living room or hall, velor (textile) wallpaper, foil wallpaper imitating gold leaf finishing, or silk-screen printing are simply ideal for an elegant interior.

There are no strict rules regarding the choice of wallpaper color; the main thing is that this room becomes the most festive and attractive. Light wallpaper warm and pastel colors will visually brighten the room and enlarge it, and grayish, sandy, beige colors will make the hall or living room spacious and bright.

You can also harmoniously combine wallpaper of two colors, achieving excellent results. For example, we decorate one end wall with wallpaper with a beautiful pattern, and the rest - plain.

4. Kitchen, hallway and corridor. These rooms have an increased degree of pollution; for them it is best to use wallpaper that can be washed or wiped with a damp cloth, and these are thick kitchen vinyl, silk-screened or intended for painting.

Everything is perfect for the kitchen warm colors wallpaper: orange, red, yellow, which will promote good appetite and good mood.

The hallway and corridor are covered with wallpaper in dark shades, but in no case should they contrast with the other walls in the room.

Recently, choosing the appropriate wallpaper color for different rooms The premises are carried out according to Feng Shui. The point is that each zone of Chinese geomancy is responsible for its specific area of activity. That is, according to this teaching, each zone has its own element and color unique to it.

For children, the best are green or yellow wallpaper which have a positive effect on the child’s psyche. The bedroom walls should be dark red or pink color, bringing passion and sensuality between spouses. If the bedroom is only for sleeping and relaxing, then the wallpaper should be dark green or blue.

According to Feng Shui, the living room is the element of Earth, and the kitchen is Metal. Therefore, for the living room, the best option would be wallpaper in white, green, beige or yellow color. For the kitchen - white wallpaper, a symbol of purity or a combination of black, white and red colors, as if the balance of all the elements.

1. To make a low room seem taller, use wallpaper:

plain;
with vertical stripes;
make the ceiling much lighter than the walls.

2. And vice versa, to make a high room appear lower, use the following wallpaper:

With large drawings or horizontal stripes;
combine two types of wallpaper separated by a border;
the ceiling should be darker than the walls;
border the wallpaper under the ceiling with a border.

3. A dark room will become much lighter , if the most unlit wall is covered with the same wallpaper as the other walls, but in a lighter tone.

4. A small room will become much more spacious if you use wallpaper material:

lighter shades;
plain or with a small pattern.

5. A large room will become much more comfortable if you cover it with wallpaper:

with a large pattern;
dark tones.

Today there is a huge selection of styles, textures, colors and designs that allow you to bring to life your most interesting plans, ideas and fantasies. Now it’s all up to you – what color wallpaper to choose and how to apply it, and we will be glad if this article helps you figure it out.

Observing the behavior of a buyer who does not know in a building materials store, you can see an interesting sight. There are a lot of doubts, touching some, stroking others, looking at the inside out, while asking a bunch of questions. This process can be lengthy and tedious for sellers. As a result, at best, what you get is not exactly what you wanted; at worst, it’s not at all what you want. Therefore, you should go to the store after studying the rules for choosing material.

Basic selection options

Start with appearance. The canvases can be smooth with a pattern or plain. Relief models have a convex pattern imprinted on them, which adds grace to them. There are options with imitation various materials: tiles, natural stone, wood, etc. The imitation is performed so skillfully that, without touching the wall, it is difficult to determine its material.

Based on water resistance, coatings are divided into 4 groups:

cannot withstand any cleaning other than wiping with a dry cloth;
moisture-resistant, can withstand wiping with a damp cloth without the use of cleaning chemicals;
washable models that can withstand washing with a damp sponge and detergents without damage;
super washable varieties that can be washed with water and brushed frequently.

The strength of the canvas depends on the density, which for light coatings reaches up to 110 g/m2, and for heavy ones - much more. The density value is indicated on the packaging of the rolls. For gluing heavy canvases you will need special glue.

Types of wallpaper: their pros and cons

To suit specific conditions, you need to know their main types, with their inherent advantages and disadvantages.

Paper

Many buyers do not think about how to choose wallpaper, but simply choose proven paper samples. The single-layer version of this coating began to be called simplex, and the two-layer version - duplex. The second option, of course, is superior to the first in all respects, but the strength still leaves much to be desired. As well as moisture resistance. And the paper quickly fades and fades from sunlight.

Despite these disadvantages, the popularity rating of paper models has not fallen for many years. And recently it has even grown by a couple of points thanks to the high degree environmental safety and low price. It is not a pity to hand over such wallpaper to children and pets to be torn to pieces by covering the nursery with them. Replacement will not cost much.

Few people know that glass canvases exist. Glass wallpaper is made from fibers obtained by processing a mixture consisting of quartz sand, soda, lime, dolomite and glued to a paper backing. Glass wallpaper has no competitors in terms of strength, resistance to fire, and moisture. Dust does not accumulate on them, they do not emit substances harmful to health, do not contribute to allergies, and allow air to pass through. They can be glued to any surface: wood, concrete, brick, metal.

Non-woven

The material is made from a viscose-based material, which adds strength and elasticity to it. It does not stretch when wet and does not shrink. Non-woven wallpaper is divided into 2 varieties, non-woven and coated with perforated vinyl, which makes it “breathable”. They are very easy to glue, since it is enough to apply the glue only to the walls. They are also easy to remove - only the top layer is removed, and a new coating can be glued onto the remaining interlining. They are attractive because they can be repainted many times, that is, the interior can be updated at least annually.

Textile

When making wallpaper of this type, a paper or non-woven base is used. If only threads of silk, linen, and velor are glued onto it, this is thread wallpaper. To produce one-piece varieties, a sticker of woven material is used. Available in widths starting from 3 m for a seamless horizontal finish. These wallpapers have good soundproofing and heat-insulating properties and are used to create luxurious original interiors. However, they attract dust and do not tolerate pollution well.

Natural

For production, veneer of various types of wood is used, either from plant fibers glued to a paper backing or from non-woven fabric. The coatings are environmentally friendly, but very expensive, since most operations in the manufacturing process are performed manually.

Choosing wallpaper taking into account the features of the rooms

For each room you need to choose the type of paintings that best suits their purpose. It is better to choose vinyl or paintable ones for the hallway, since this is a high-traffic room. The living room should be decorated with non-woven, textile or. Such coatings can be properly demonstrated to guests main room apartments.

The best option for finishing a kitchen would be thick vinyl wallpaper. You can wash off the smoke and soot from them with water using a brush and household chemicals. For bedrooms and children's rooms, only coverings with high environmental friendliness are suitable, that is, wallpaper made of paper or textiles that can “breathe”.

When choosing colors and patterns, you need to consider the effect of color on people, the size and degree of illumination of the room, as well as color consistency with the furniture. Excess of bright saturated tone will cause irritation. Using a gentle light shade, you can create an atmosphere of tranquility that will calm and relax.

Other things to consider

An important aspect of the problem of choosing wallpaper for a room is the factor of the degree of illumination of the room. In a room with good lighting, you should give preference to cool tones: blue, gray, pink. Using dark shades of burgundy, purple, lilac color It will also be appropriate. A room with insufficient lighting should be decorated with warm soft tones: orange, golden, beige.

A small pattern is chosen for a small room, a large one for a large one. Vertical stripes will visually raise the ceiling, and horizontal stripes will lower it. Shiny models with a three-dimensional image will visually increase the size of the room. The same effect can be achieved by using models with good reflectivity if illuminated from different angles. To give perspective, the far wall is pasted over with stripes of a dark tone with an active image, and others with lighter, monochromatic stripes.

It is not advisable to select a coating of the same color as the furniture, this will lead to their merging. If you place paintings, photos, or home flowers on the walls, you should stick to smooth, plain coatings in light shades.

You should not get carried away with contrast, it will soon get boring and begin to cause irritation. In rooms with windows located on the south side, you need to use types that are resistant to fading and fading. Canvases with small patterns of different tones can hide significant flaws in the walls.

The selection in the store should start from the top tier, then immediately move to the bottom row, and inspect the center at the end. The human psyche is designed in such a way that it perceives only what is right in front of its eyes. Therefore, most buyers do not inspect the bottom, although there may be what they need there.
If you have no experience in combining colors and textures, you can purchase a ready-made collection where they have already been selected.
When selecting paintings for a room, you need to take into account the distance between the drawings. The more, the more waste there will be when combining them. Therefore, you will have to purchase a larger supply.
When choosing wide rolls, you will need an assistant when gluing.
When choosing glass wallpaper, you need to take into account that cobwebs are not finishing material. It is used in wall preparation as a means to strengthen cracks.

P.S. Choosing wallpaper for a room will not be difficult if, before visiting the store, you determine for yourself its color and texture. Calculate required quantity rolls, taking into account the area of doors and windows. We must not forget about the allowance for adjustment and the reserve just in case. This will help not only save time and nerves when choosing, but also find best option.

Pasting wallpaper at home is a whole science. But their choice is also of great importance. For him to be competent, you need to know many nuances regarding different types of wallpaper: their specifics, suitable premises, pasting methods, etc.

My name is Kirill, I will tell you, based on my experience, how to choose the right wallpaper for any type of room, we will talk about the pros and cons of each type, and we will look at examples of the choice for a specific room or design.

How to choose the right wallpaper

Today, the range of wall covering versions is incredibly diverse. And to know how to choose the right wallpaper, you need to understand their aesthetic features, texture and style.

Wallpaper base

When choosing this material, you should take into account its practicality, characteristics, and wall features. Its basis is of great importance. According to this criterion, the material can be paper or non-woven.

The first type is environmentally friendly and has convenient prices.

These are its main advantages. A weaknesses are:

Susceptibility to moisture and light.
Easy to damage.

Advice

I recommend decorating children's, living rooms and bedrooms with similar wallpaper. A big mistake is their use for the bathroom and toilet, kitchen areas and corridors. When gluing, be sure to apply glue to the canvas itself.

The second type contains a layer of vinyl and is characterized by high price tags.

This is their only drawback. And the advantages are the following:

Ease of pasting. The glue should simply be applied to the walls.
Resistance to deformation.
Suitable for use in various premises.

Types of wallpaper

Depending on where the gluing is planned, the type of material is selected. Types of wallpaper for different rooms there are the following:

vinyl,
special for painting,
glass wallpaper,
textile,
cork,
velor,
photo wallpaper,
cork,
liquid.

In the dilemma of how to choose wallpaper for a specific room, you should also rely on its resistance to its conditions. For example, it is completely unreasonable to glue a fabric that is susceptible to moisture in the bathroom.

Vinyl look

Its base can be paper or non-woven fabric with a layer of vinyl. The advantages of this type of wallpaper are:

High strength.
Durability.
Easy to clean and wash.
Resistance to light.
Density.

It also has its disadvantages:

Serious value.
Poor ventilation.
A modest indicator of environmental friendliness.

FYI

Expensive modifications of this type of wallpaper have microscopic holes. For this reason, these products allow air to pass through more efficiently. This is the optimal type of wallpaper for corridors, kitchens and living rooms.

Wallpaper for painting

Variations of their basis can be as follows:

interlining,
paper,
combination of vinyl and non-woven fabric.

There is also an option - fiberglass, but I will consider them separately further.

And after gluing, the product can be coated with paint. Usually such wallpapers white. But there are also color versions. Often such products are chosen creative people who want to experiment with color schemes.

Buyers often wonder what kind of wallpaper to paint is best to purchase, and what base to choose?

To do this, you should know the pros and cons of the product on each specified basis.

Thus, painting canvases with a non-woven base have the following advantages:

Thinness, ease of gluing.
Optimal for use in new buildings where there is a potential risk of shrinkage.
Effective masking of wall defects.

And their weaknesses are:

Fragility.
The need for very high quality coloring.
If there is an inexpressive structure, after two layers of paint it becomes invisible.
Potential stretching when gluing.

Advice

If your choice of wallpaper for painting is based only on low cost, then you should purchase paper-based versions. In addition, this is a very environmentally friendly and breathable option that hides uneven wall areas.

However, it is worth considering their disadvantages:

fragility,
deformation in case of wall shrinkage,
short operational period (maximum 5 years).

If price does not matter to you, and you are deciding which wallpaper to buy for painting, then you should give preference to modifications based on non-woven and vinyl.

In principle, such a product is very fragile, but if it is coated with paint, it lasts much longer, and the patterns on it become more expressive. In addition, such wallpaper is easy to wash.

Glass wallpaper

These are popular painting products with the following advantages:

Powerful wear resistance.
Serious strength. Wallpaper can be used for reinforcement. This is an excellent option for walls that need strengthening.
Ease of gluing.
Non-flammability.
When heated, no harmful elements are released.

Resistance to hot sun rays.

This type also has disadvantages:

Solid price tags.
The pattern is weakly expressed.
The need for careful preparation of walls before pasting them.
Heavy dismantling.

Textile wallpaper

These are multilayer roll products for covering walls. Their base can be paper or non-woven. The outer layer is textile, for example cotton, silk, linen, etc.

Advantages of this type of wallpaper:

Graceful aesthetic appearance.
Resistant to sunlight.
Soundproofing.
Environmental friendliness.
Powerful thermal insulation. Especially for versions with foam rubber.

Disadvantages of products in this category:

Tendency to get dirty. Wallpaper attracts dust. They need to be carefully looked after.
Eager to clean, sensitive to moisture. Therefore, they should only be cleaned using the dry method.
Weak strength. This is absolutely not suitable option for apartments where pets live.
Fixation of odors. Their products absorb quickly. This is why this or that smell can linger in a room for a very long time.
Complex pasting. This process requires extreme care.

Velor wallpaper

They belong to the category of semi-elite materials. They are formed by two layers:

paper or non-woven fabric,
velor fibers.

The second layer is laid on top of the first at a specific angle. In this case, the maximum length of the villi is 1 mm.

You can choose a different style depending on your preferences. There are strict, business-like options and brighter modifications.

Advice

If you need to choose wallpaper for the bedroom, and you are looking for a suitable option in aesthetic and practical terms, then I recommend velor products.

The list of their advantages is as follows:

Density. This provides the wallpaper with serious wear resistance.
Noise insulation. This is achieved thanks to the velor fibers present in the composition.
Resistant to fading.

And the list of their shortcomings is as follows:

Accumulation of dust in fleecy surfaces. Therefore, this wallpaper is completely unsuitable for hallways, bathrooms, kitchens and other heavily polluted places.
Sensitivity to foreign odors. The reason for this is the fabric structure of the product. Therefore, odors are absorbed quickly and remain for a long time.
Need for special care. To remove stains, only the dry method is used. Better cleaning use a vacuum cleaner with a special attachment. If the contamination is too deep, the blade must be replaced completely.

Their base can also be non-woven or paper. They are always characterized by some kind of plot. They often depict a landscape or reproductions of famous paintings.

Their advantages:

Just sticking.
Moisture resistant.
Implementation of original design.

Serious price.
Need for careful care. Any defect may affect the integrity of the image.

Advice

If you don’t know what wallpaper to choose for a children’s room or bedroom, and you don’t want to bother with the gluing process for a long time, then choose photo wallpaper.

For example, in a child’s room you can paste products that reflect scenes from fairy tales.

Cork wallpaper

These types give the room a natural, original look, like wood trim.

Their strengths are:

Solid decorative characteristics. Veneer has a natural structure. This results in a unique image. Due to the soft tones of cork, a restrained interior in a classic version is obtained.

Their disadvantages:

High cost. From 500 rub. per sq.m.
Weak strength.

This type Wallpaper can be used in any room. And if you are deciding which wallpaper to choose for the kitchen in order to create the atmosphere of a wooden building there, then cork products are optimal for achieving this goal. Only they must be treated with special impregnations.

Liquid wallpaper

This is an innovation in the construction industry. Liquid wallpaper is used in the renovation of residential and office premises, health institutions and catering establishments. The material is often confused with decorative plaster. Their differences lie in their structures.

Wallpaper is formed by fibrous substances with adhesive solution. Plaster is based on a sand mixture.

Liquid wallpaper has the following advantages:

Excellent appearance.
No joint areas.
Easy to apply even in curved areas.
The ability to create interesting images on the walls.
Easy correction of damaged areas.

Maintenance normal level humidity in the room.
Excellent thermal insulation.
There is no need for meticulous preparation of the walls.
Flame resistant.

Reusable.

However, liquid wallpaper has a large list of not only advantages, but also weaknesses:

Great price.
Limited color range.
Sunburn.
Not the best level of moisture resistance. Therefore, we must cover the created surface with a special varnish.
Susceptibility to mechanical stress.
Cleaning is carried out only using the dry method. Stubborn stains cannot be removed. These areas need to be restored.

Liquid wallpaper is most often used in country buildings. In city apartments their use is also common today. It is not recommended to arrange them on loggias and on sunny sides.

Advice

If you can’t decide which wallpaper to choose for the kitchen so as not to worry about gluing, then these products are a good solution. Just to be on the safe side, coat them with protective varnish.

Types of wallpaper according to sustainability

Such products are divided into categories not only according to their basics, but also according to the level of durability.

This classification contains the following types:

Wear resistant. They are usually used in rooms where all the walls are dry. It is quite easy to care for such products - just wipe with a dry cloth. These options are suitable for living rooms. And, for example, if you need to choose wallpaper for the bedroom, when purchasing, pay attention to the product labeling - there should be a wavy line with a brush.
Resistant to water. They have a special coating that allows them to be cleaned without detergents, just with a damp cloth. If you need to choose wallpaper for walls that are often exposed to water (for example, in the bathroom), then when purchasing, look at the marking - there should be one wavy line.
Washable. These types can be cleaned with a damp cloth and detergent. Their markings are a pair of wavy lines. Keep this in mind when deciding which wallpaper to choose for your kitchen. Since this type is optimal for such premises.
Super washable. This is a modernized analogue of point 3. It can also be cleaned with a damp brush. The number of wavy lines on the marking is 3.
Resistant to light. Designation: icon and half sun. This type should be used in all rooms where there is high natural light. Keep this in mind if you don’t know what wallpaper to choose for the kitchen, since, as a rule, the windows there are not curtained and there is a high concentration of sunlight.
Improved clause 5. The designation on the packaging is a symbol with a sun.

Points 2-4 are optimal for the bathroom and other rooms with a high percentage of humidity.

Technology of applying patterns to wallpaper

It can be used in different ways. An image may have a different number of components and shades. The durability of the ink and the time spent on printing also matter.

There are such methods of drawing a picture:

Embossing. This is a technology for two-layer products. The relief image is on the top layer. The main disadvantage of this option is weak strength. Plus - excellent camouflage of areas with minor unevenness.
Hot stamping. Used for vinyl-coated paper wallpaper. During the manufacturing process they are subjected to heat treatment. After that, the required image is applied to the soft vinyl layer: two rollers are rolled and a pattern is obtained between them. With this method, all harmful substances. The resulting products have strong resistance to light and moisture. And it can be used for the bathroom and other rooms.
Silkscreen printing. The products have sophisticated patterns, a pleasant sheen and silk effect, and a wide range of colors. When the question arises of what wallpaper to choose for the hall in order to get a classic design, then pay attention to silk-screened products.
Primed image. The paper surface is pre-painted. A picture is applied to it. The result is a bright, colorful product with high resistance to moisture. This is an excellent solution for the bathroom, especially if it is often visited by children.

Types by gluing methods

They are formed based on the type of wallpaper and the condition of the walls. There are three most common methods of gluing canvases:

Butt. This method is effective only on flat surfaces and for dense products: non-woven, embossed, vinyl and silk-screen printing. This is his minus. And the advantage lies in speed and high quality result.
Overlapping. An excellent method for wallpaper with medium to low thickness. It can be used to hide modest defects on the walls. It is optimal for paper products. Its disadvantages are long work and scrupulous adjustment of the image. Be sure to cut off the edge and combine the two canvases.
Image offset.

When deciding which wallpaper is best to choose, be sure to take into account what kind of pattern it has and its versions of its combination. Here are the following variations:

Universal. The location of the picture does not matter.
Straight joint. We glue the parts of the picture side by side at identical heights.
Offset joint. The shift occurs in each subsequent sheet.
Displacement + revolution. We turn every second canvas 180 degrees.

How to choose wallpaper color

In this process I give following tips by choice of wallpaper:

The shades of the roll spread on the table and the already pasted wallpaper differ at different angles of light.
Shop lighting is significantly different from household lighting. For this reason, products often have dark and muted tones after gluing.
Which wallpaper color to choose should be determined not only based on your taste, but also on the opinion of a design specialist. Their color should be in harmony with the colors of other interior elements, lighting fixtures, curtains or drapes, furniture, carpets, etc.

So, if there is furniture in the room brown, and the room itself has a classic style, give preference to wallpaper with subdued colors: beige, burgundy, gold, etc.

People often wonder what wallpaper to choose for the kitchen if there is furniture of different colors there. This is a common situation for headsets. Here it is better to use products in pastel colors, since the room is already saturated with color.

The dilemma often arises: what wallpaper to choose for a room with white furniture? This question usually concerns country houses. The room contains original furniture, and it is possible that there is a grand piano. In such situations, canvases of both light and dark colors are suitable. When choosing the former, it is useful to use bright paintings or photo wallpapers to prevent the color merging of furniture and walls.

Choosing wallpaper for rooms

This issue is extremely important in terms of the practical and effective use of wallpaper. After all, if there are serious mistakes, you will ruin the interior, peeling of the paintings, extra costs, etc.

There are basic criteria that you need to rely on. For example, how to choose the right wallpaper for the kitchen - washable and resistant to light and moisture.

I will provide more details about which products are optimal for different rooms below.

Living room and hall

What wallpaper to choose for the hall (if the room area is large) or living room?

What wallpaper should I choose for a room facing north and having the worst lighting? Only products in warm colors. We often use orange and yellow fabrics.

Important

When selecting an image, base it on the parameters of the room. If they are modest, use wallpaper with a small and sparse pattern. If large - products with large and frequent patterns.

The wallpaper here should be vapor-permeable and not resistant to sunlight. On this aspect ideal option I think non-woven wallpaper.

Bedroom issue

When you need to choose wallpaper for the bedroom, keep in mind that you need to maintain a calm atmosphere here, which will allow you to relieve tension.

Therefore, it is better to give priority to products with soft, muted tones, such as light green or light blue.

Advantageous in this regard is the image of geometric shapes of different sizes.

In the bedroom I advise you to glue paper sheets. They have excellent environmental performance and vapor permeability.

Hallway and corridor

Be sure to take into account the features of these premises. In terms of practicality, the wallpaper in the hallway should be washable, since quite a lot of dust accumulates there. I recommend vinyl products.

Also, when choosing an image, consider the parameters of the room.

Wallpaper in a corridor with modest dimensions should have light colors. This makes the room visually larger. However, such products quickly get dirty. Therefore, the option with light washable products is allowed.

In general, when faced with the dilemma of which wallpaper to choose for the hallway, the following solutions are derived:

The optimal colors are neither dark nor light. Because of the first, it becomes gloomy; the second is mentioned above.
It is better to take wallpaper that imitates coverings made of brick, wood, stone, etc.
Given the potential levels of contamination, glass wallpaper is the best option. They are easy to clean and can be painted in any color.
If the house is of considerable age, and the walls have many defects and dents, use liquid wallpaper. They are also suitable due to heavy contamination.

Kitchen

Which wallpaper to choose for the kitchen based on color scheme? Here we need light, discreet options. Also, they should not have large images. You can glue beige and light yellow products.

What wallpaper to choose for the kitchen in terms of practicality and operation? Here you should rely on the following criteria:

Easy cleansing.
Resistant to fading, moisture and temperature changes.
Odor repulsion.

According to these points optimal solutions are vinyl and liquid wallpaper.

For children's room

How to choose wallpaper for a nursery? Here too, rely on two key concepts: color and practicality.

It is better to glue products in light colors here. They should not irritate the occupant of the room. Psychologists and designers have proven that canvases with orange shades are excellent solutions. And I think the ideal tactic is to use wallpaper with images of fairy tale and cartoon characters.

How to choose wallpaper for a nursery according to the second concept mentioned? Keep in mind that a child is a kind of destroyer and vandal, and on the other hand, an artist. He constantly ruins the wallpaper or draws something on it. For this reason, use paper products. They are cheap and easier to update. In addition, they have excellent ventilation and ecology.

For the bathroom

Which wallpaper to choose for the bathroom? Here you need to take into account its specifics:

High humidity levels.
Frequent temperature changes.
Lack of natural light.

Therefore, here you should glue wallpaper that is resistant to points 1 and 2, as well as mold. They should also repel odors and be easy to clean. In this regard, the best solutions are washable, vinyl, fiberglass and liquid wallpaper.

The question of colors and design is sorted out based on the following points:

Combination with the general style. We give greater preference to blue and green shades.
If the room is of modest size, do not use red, blue and black colors there.
If the bathroom style is classic, use wallpaper in beige and flesh tones.
With a high-tech style, the best option is white glass fiber.
For Provence, it is better to take products with a vertical stripe.
For medium and large bathrooms, bright, positive colors, such as orange and yellow, are optimal.

You can also use photo wallpaper. Just stick them all over the wall. For small premises, you can stick them on doors or on parts of opposite walls.

On the door

With the first and second options, the room visually expands, resulting in an original exit.

With the third, the unity of the door with the wall is formed.

To the ceiling

What wallpaper for the ceiling is considered optimal? Here a lot depends on what room the renovation is being done.

The best options for rooms are products that have volumetric embossing: non-woven or very thick vinyl modifications.

Wallpaper for the ceiling of a kitchen or bathroom must be washable and can withstand cleaning with a brush and chemicals. They must also cope with different thermal loads.

What wallpaper to use for the ceiling if it has a lot of defects and irregularities. There are two scenarios here. The first is thorough surface preparation. The second is the use of liquid or fiberglass products.

Also, if there are defects on the surface, the wallpaper used on the ceiling must contain a geometric or abstract image. Such canvases perfectly mask all bad areas.

This option is also good if you plan to paint the ceiling. Paint applied in 2-3 layers can compensate for a wallpaper ornament that is too small.

Choosing wallpaper for painting

For these purposes, as a rule, the following products are excellent:

Paper
Non-woven.
Fiberglass.
Vinyl.

Which wallpaper to choose for painting? Based on the following aspects:

Room parameter. This type of wallpaper does not harmonize with a cramped interior. Due to the volumetric texture, space is reduced. Dark colors also have this effect. Therefore, if the room is modest in size, it is better to use light colors.
Lighting specifications. This is extremely important for washable products. When directly exposed to ultraviolet light, they reflect gloss. Such an effect must be excluded in any interior.
Functions of the room. Based on the level of its pollution, its inhabitants and the degree of humidity. For example, in a nursery, wallpaper should be environmentally friendly.
Price tag. You should not buy expensive canvases if you plan to use them for a short time.
Decorative factor. The textured images on these wallpapers should fit into the overall style of the room.
If you combine paintable products with regular canvases, study their density. Dramatic differences in these indicators will lead to the appearance of noticeable joints in their border zones.

The surface of such paintings can be smooth or textured. The second option, in addition to being decorative, also has a defensive function.

FYI

Non-woven products are very easy to glue, they have an elastic structure, and they do not stretch from unexpected influences. They are convenient to dock and place on the wall.

Vinyl sheets are universal for use. They produce rich tones that highlight original design. When working with high-quality paint, this wallpaper can then be periodically cleaned of dirt.

Fiberglass wallpaper has the highest strength and powerfully adheres to work surface, they are also resistant to wear, moisture and temperature changes. These are the most effective types for painting.

Paper types attract with their prices, safety and lightness. True, they have a modest service life. They can be painted only when you do not need long-term results.

What wallpaper to choose for uneven walls to hide unevenness

Often the walls in apartments have various defects and uneven areas. Surface preparation can take a lot of time and effort. However, with the help of wall paintings you can successfully cover such shortcomings.

In this regard, a logical question arises - which wallpaper to choose for uneven walls?

Here it is better to give preference to dense products that have two layers, at least, for example, Duplex. In addition, they have an attractive image and embossing.

These are paper wallpapers that easily stick to a complex surface for one reason - they do not adhere entirely to it. This fabric does not lose its shape, thereby masking potholes and bulging areas.

When you intend to hide uneven walls and are focusing on the average price category, I recommend paying attention to three types of vinyl:

Foamed. This is the simplest and cheapest version. The fabric is thick enough to perfectly disguise defects. But its strength is quite modest.
Washable. Characterized by a dense and soft layer. Perfectly hides minor imperfections kitchen walls. Its surface is easy to clean. But it does not cover convex areas well.
Hot stamping. It is distinguished by its powerful density, massiveness and deep texture. Therefore, it completely hides walls with unevenness and other defects.

Non-woven, intended for painting. They hold their shape perfectly. After painting, wall defects are hidden even better.
Liquid mixtures. This best solution, if a significant area of the wall is covered by many minor defects. This option fills all the voids and evens out minor bulges. But it is not capable of dealing with serious and large defects.

Wallpaper for furniture

In this matter, you should adhere to certain criteria regarding color combinations. They are reflected in the table below:

	Wallpaper tones
Brown	Sand, beige, yellow	Associations with warmth
	Green, pistachio	Peace, spiritual harmony
	Pale blue, ivory, white	Fabulous atmosphere
Burgundy	All shades of white	Respectable, cozy interior
Peach	Pastel, light lilac	The optimal solution for a nursery creates a beneficial effect on its inhabitants.
Orange	White, pale lilac	Creating an extravagant style
Black or gray	Warm greens	Relieving tension

Wallpaper combination

There are no strict rules and criteria in this matter. In many ways, its decision depends on the conditions in the room, the types and colors of furniture in it, etc.

Let me give just a few examples:

If you have a two-color set, the wallpaper should have a lighter tone. You can paste the walls in colors opposite to the parts of the set.
Dividing a wall into two horizontal sides. The upper ones have lighter tones, the lower ones have darker colors, or panels are arranged.
Zoning of space. Game of shadows. This is the best option for plain wallpaper of different colors. Often he settles down in the bedroom. One of them has light gray tones. And the color of the sleeping area is deep and rich.

In this material, I outlined many provisions and criteria for different types wallpaper and its use. In conclusion, here are general recommendations for choosing wallpaper:

When calculating the required number of rolls, base them on their key parameters: length and width. Their standard values are: 1005 and 53 or 1006 cm, respectively.
When decorating walls, avoid very sharp contrasts and monotony. Don't combine too much pale tones with oversaturated ones. Being in such a room makes your eyes very tired.
In rooms with a modest area, glue products in light colors. Single-color products or with small images are allowed.
Use wallpaper in large rooms dark shades or versions with a large picture.
In rooms with low ceilings, use plain fabrics or options with vertical stripes. The color of the ceiling should be significantly lighter than the wallpaper.
If your room has high ceilings, use wallpaper with a large pattern or versions that have horizontal stripes. The color of the ceiling is much darker than the walls.
To brighten the room, on the wall that is illuminated less, stick wallpaper of the same color, but in lighter tones.
If there are an abundance of photos and paintings in the room, use plain products or options with small images.
Large-scale and multiple patterns visually make the room smaller. Its antipode expands it.
Canvases with stripes harmonize well with any interior styles. They visually increase the height of the ceiling and reduce the parameters of the room. The more substantial their width, the larger the space appears. For this reason, decorate narrow rooms with low ceilings with canvases with wide stripes.
Products with minor inclusions hide flaws in the walls. In difficult situations, purchase relief canvases. Glue monochromatic modifications only on perfectly smooth walls. Otherwise, any shortcomings will immediately catch your eye.
Buy products with reserve. It is important to prevent repeat purchases. And a fresh batch of wallpaper will be significantly different in shades from the previous one.
