Few people imagine that with the help of the most ordinary wallpaper, even an apartment with a standard layout can be transformed beyond recognition: visually raise or expand the walls, highlight living areas, redistribute lighting.
Since this does not require any special costs, everyone will be able to feel like a designer and a planner in one key.
And most importantly, wallpapering does not require any special skills. And the owner of the apartment is quite capable of doing what he has planned with his own hands, says Yulia Tychino .
3D effect
We are talking about combining wallpapers of different colors, patterns and even textures. And also using them in combination with various finishing materials - tiles, wooden or plastic panels, textiles.
You can make inserts or appliques and emphasize them with a baguette. There are many options, the main thing is to clearly imagine the desired result.
If in its traditional form wallpaper is simply a background, then when combined it performs certain functions.
Baguette-accented inserts
It has already been said above that such work does not require any special skills. But every error, carelessly cut or pasted tapes will be conspicuous.
Such beauty is achieved through precise connection of details, careful selection of color and pattern.
If the tones and colors of furniture upholstery or tiles are used as an accent, then when buying wallpaper in a store you should definitely have a scrap, piece of tile or sheet of colored paper of the corresponding shade with you.
Decorating a children's room
Several techniques are used in the combination. The general rule for any options: vertical stripes or patterns visually increase the height of the walls.
Therefore, inserting such stripes into a plain background gives an interesting, unexpected effect for the viewer, which can be emphasized with a narrow border tape.
When decorating shallow niches, ledges, bay windows and any non-standard details with wallpaper in a color scheme identical to the furniture upholstery, the interior acquires a finished, harmonious look.
Using vertical stripes
Horizontal stripes of different widths and lengths emphasize the ceiling borders, imitate panels, and with a little knowledge of the principles of the play of shadows and light, the illusion of volumetric details is created - porticoes, protruding columns, ribbed surfaces, curtains.
The good thing about creativity with wallpaper is that it allows you to fulfill any fantasy and whim. On one condition - do not lose your sense of proportion.
Large patterns – geometric figures, huge flowers – are overwhelming, come to the forefront, and the attractiveness of other interior details is lost behind them.
Using wallpaper motifs in interior details
You can use a drawing you like as a basis, imitate the successful design of luxurious living rooms, cozy bedrooms, cheerful children's rooms. And - one more small but pleasant trick.
Since the combination does not require a large number of rolls of the same color, everything you need for creativity can easily be found in the remnants that are sold in large stores at reduced prices. Go for it!
