How to combine wallpapers
You can create not only a fascinating but also practical interior or divide rooms into zones using such a popular technique as a combination of wallpaper. Wall design and framing play a decisive role in interior decoration. That is why you need an extremely serious approach to the choice of wallpaper and their shades. Do not take too dark or bright colors as a basis - they can quickly get boring. Moreover, light shades will not be conspicuous and will create the right mood.
Combining wallpaper will not only allow you to show off authentic interior design, but it will also help hide some of the building flaws. The imperfection of the apartment can be easily hidden by choosing the correct type of combination.
2. Visual increasing of the room space
Usually, the light-colored wallpapers help to visually enlarge the room. Sometimes, to create the illusion of a high ceiling, a coating with horizontal stripes is used.
3. Dividing the room
If the apartment has a large space, you can make its appearance more organic with a simple zoning technique. That will help to demarcate a large room without resorting to installing shields or curtains.
4. Create the accents
The functional areas of your abode can be highlighted with different bright and colorful wallpapers.
Horizontal combining
If your goal is to create a Provencal or classic style in the house, then the horizontal combination technique is suitable for you. In this case, you can combine wallpaper different in color and texture.
Vertical combining
Wallpaper with vertical stripes is one of the most common. However, this style familiar to everyone can be diversified and decorated. With this type of combination, it is worth considering that it is better to buy rolls of the same size. As for the palette, you can choose both similar colors and contrasting tones. The main thing - do not forget to read the color combinations before buying.
Monochromatic combining
This method is suitable when it is necessary to highlight several functional areas with similar colors. A fascinating but restrained image can be created by diversifying monochrome patterns. In this case, it is better to choose materials of different textures to create a harmonious look. The one-color combination is mostly used in solid, impartial, and bright colors.
Accent wall
If you want to not only to decorate the design, but also to attract the attention of guests, then follow these rules:
• This design will only fit on one wall in the room. Sometimes professionals resort to decorating two walls in this way, but no more. Three walls with accent wallpapers will conflict with a good taste.
• Only a part of the wall or such structural components as arches, niches can stand out;
• The colors are not inescapably bright, soft groupings are suitable as well.
The accent wall should highlight the interior. That is why it usually presents bright monochromatic wallpaper or decoration with an ornament. It is worth considering that accent wallpaper is not a cheap pleasure. So this type of room design will also save some money since the accents will not be on all walls.
Pattern or ornament plus monochromatic
If the selection of wallpaper is carried out on your own, you need to be extremely careful. Try to match the desired wallpaper to each other in good lighting and analyze compatibility. It is also important not to deviate from the rules:
• a large drawing, catchy colors are appropriate only in a room filled with daylight most of the time;
• in a pair, where the first part is an ornament, the second should be textured.
The considered wallpaper combination techniques are just the smallest of the existing ones. Rely on your taste and choose the one that suits you best.
