Wallpaper for decorating the bedroom in 2019
Only at first glance it may seem that the choice of finishing material for the bedroom is an extremely pleasant occupation. The room has an excellent microclimate - no increased humidity and temperature changes, the surface of the crane is rarely exposed to pollution or mechanical stress, which means that from the point of view of technological characteristics there will be practically no exceptions. But what to do with the variety of color and texture? Which manufacturer to choose - domestic or foreign? Wide wallpaper or standard? And how to combine a separate palette with color schemes of furniture, textile design and decorative elements? One thing is obvious - without a preliminary plan for choosing the quality, color and texture of wallpaper, you should not go to the store with an incredibly wide selection of options. We hope that the design projects of the bedrooms that we selected, in the decoration of which the most diverse wallpapers were used, will help you not easily make such a plan, but also make the most effective and successful choice.
Features of choosing wallpaper for the bedroom
The main feature of the selection of finishes for the bedroom is the almost complete absence of restrictions. There are no factors harmful to the decoration in the bedroom, the walls themselves rarely have a load or any kind of mechanical stress, the risk of pollution is minimized. And the attention of the guests of the home to the private room is minimal, which means that you can design the bedroom in accordance with your own vision of functionality, aesthetics, practicality and beauty. An important factor when choosing a finishing material in terms of technical properties will be the budget for repairs. Indeed, the range of prices for wallpapers of domestic and foreign manufacturers is incredibly wide. And only the owners will be able to decide what they like - cheap, but not durable paper wallpapers or practical vinyl, or maybe luxurious velor fabrics, which will take half of the available financial means for the repair or reconstruction of a bedroom interior.
Paper wallpaper. The main advantages are low cost, environmental friendliness, ease of installation, the ability to pass air and a wide range of color solutions, products with prints. The obvious disadvantages include fragility (even with very careful use - no more than 4-5 years), exposure to burnout under the influence of sunlight and inability to endure wet cleaning, use of cleaning products.
Non-woven wallpaper or non-woven fabric. Flizelin has a high density, it consists of cellulose fibers with the addition of polymeric materials. Depending on the method of applying the drawing, two groups of non-woven wallpaper are distinguished:
wallpaper with direct application;
polymer coated canvas.
With direct application, the pattern is transferred directly to the filiselin base. Such canvases are stronger than paper, but have a number of other disadvantages:
- such material, as well as paper cloths, cannot be washed, cleaned with the help of special means;
- Wallpaper fade in the sun.
The advantages of non-woven wallpaper with direct application of the picture include:
- high strength;
- ease of installation - wallpaper can be applied to the wall treated with glue, without using it for the paintings themselves;
- ability to "breathe";
- environmental friendliness in relation to the person and environment;
- the density of the canvases allows you to hide minor imperfections in the processing of surfaces to be finished.
With a polymer coating of non-woven wallpaper, the pattern is applied to the vinyl coating. This polymer coating can be smooth, foamed or embossed (type of silkscreen).The surface of such canvases is able to imitate various finishes - from brick or masonry to concrete and wooden surfaces.
The advantages of non-woven vinyl-coated wallpaper include:
- excellent strength (including tensile strength);
- durability;
- the possibility of purification in a wet way;
- burn resistance;
- the ability to hide small cracks and bumps in the surface of walls.
Among a small number of shortcomings, the following can be distinguished:
- inability to pass air;
- Some polymer products are capable of releasing toxic substances, so the choice of wallpaper must be carried out in accordance with GOST.
Textile wallpaper. This decoration option is the best suited for the bedroom. Wallpaper is made as follows - a fabric cloth or thread is applied to a dense paper or non-woven base. The canvas can be:
- cotton;
- flaxseed;
- jute;
- velor;
- felt.
Of course, such material is significantly superior in price to paper products, but it also has distinctive advantages:
- improved sound and heat insulation properties (which is important for the bedroom);
- high level of environmental friendliness, ability to breathe (if the base is made of paper);
- luxurious appearance, design exclusivity.
Unfortunately, there are also many shortcomings in this finish:
- surface cleaning is problematic; wet cleaning is prohibited;
- low resistance to mechanical damage (in a house with young children and / or pets, use is undesirable);
- the installation of such canvases is more difficult than pasting the walls with paper or vinyl wallpaper;
- high cost of paintings.
Photowall-paper. They are widespread in the creation of modern design projects of bedrooms. Great for accent wall decoration. The image of a beautiful city landscape, plants or animals, nature or fictional plots, macro photography or family photos enlarged over the entire wall - an interior with a similar accent will be unique, interesting.
As a rule, wall murals are made of fiberglass and have an adhesive layer. But recently it has become fashionable to use a natural base - bamboo, leather, cork.
In addition to the types of wallpaper listed above, in modern design projects of bedrooms, liquid wallpapers and fiberglass cloths are also used. Textural wallpapers are very popular, with embossing, inclusion of quartz, particles of colored glass, straw, shells and much more.
Combination of wallpaper in the decoration of the bedroom
The combination of wallpaper, different in color, print, texture and even style of execution, can help not only create an original interior, but also correct the flaws in the geometry of the room, highlight certain functional areas, create certain accents.
We focus on the advantages and mask the disadvantages. Using color, pattern or pattern, you can create focus on a specific area of the room, interior or surface. For example, you would like to distract attention from the design of the ceiling (bumps or blemishes) - a bright pattern on the wall, in the middle of the room will be the perfect accent. Or vice versa, you would like to focus on the furniture of the room (beautiful design of a sleeping place, for example) - paste the walls with wallpaper in a neutral color scheme and practically make them invisible.
Zoning the room. Very often in the bedroom, in addition to the sleeping and resting areas, there are other functional segments - a dressing table, a boudoir, a workplace, a dressing room, a reading corner. It is enough to use a combination of wallpapers that are different in color, texture or stylistic solution and the room will be effectively zoned.
We increase the space. It's no secret that with the help of certain optical effects you can visually adjust the volume of the room.For example, horizontal stripes on the wallpaper help to visually increase the width of the room, and vertical - the height of the ceiling.
A favorite technique of designers around the world (to a greater extent forced) is the use of a light palette to visually increase the space, erase the boundaries of the room. But this does not mean that in a small bedroom you will have to paste over all the walls with white wallpaper and be content with bright accents on the textile for a berth or the drapery of windows. The palette of pastel shades, which will not interfere with the visual increase in the room and bring a certain zest to the design of the bedroom, is incredibly diverse. And you can create an emphasis with the help of a soft print on light wallpaper, with the help of textured elements.
Create an accent surface. The easiest and most effective way to create a color accent is to make one of the walls of the room in a bright tone (against the background of a light color palette) or using a drawing (pattern, ornament, photo printing). There are many ready-made solutions for combining on sale. Wallpaper is sold in specially created collections - as a rule, in the pattern of accent paintings there is a tone of the main finish.
Focusing on a point. An equally popular design technique for focusing attention in the right place is to create an emphasis not on the entire surface, but on some part of it. For example, a segment stands out above the head of the bed, around a fireplace, a place for reading, a dressing table or an interior item that I would like to draw attention to (antique furniture, an art object or an expensive decorative element).
Wallpaper as a decorative element. Often very beautiful, expensive wallpapers (or simply paintings that differ significantly from the general background of the room) are used as wall decor. You can arrange plywood with wallpaper glued on it in a beautiful frame and hang it on the wall or decorate moldings with paintings locally located on the vertical surfaces of the bedroom.
Actual color palette - fashion prints and texture
It is obvious that the color scheme of the wall decoration in the bedroom in many respects forms not only the image of the room, but also our psychological state during our stay in it. That is why it is important to take the choice of print on wallpaper for sleeping space in all seriousness. The color palette and options for drawings on the canvas will depend on the following factors:
- the size and shape of the room;
- the number and parameters of window openings (the level of natural light is incredibly important);
- the location of the room relative to the cardinal points;
- color schemes of the basic furniture and textile design of a berth and windows (nobody canceled the rule of combining plain wallpaper with printed curtains and vice versa, colorful finishes with neutral drapery of windows).
Plain wallpaper execution is an option for a laconic interior or room, in which it is planned to highlight the furniture of the room and, above all, the bed with its design. Most often, neutral pastel shades are chosen for the bedroom, soothing and attuning to rest, relaxation ...
But there are also radically opposite design options for bedrooms. A bright, colorful tone of wallpaper is most often chosen to design an accent wall. If the wall behind the head of the bed becomes such a wall, then even a bright tone will not become an obstacle to a calm emotional state. After all, lying in bed, we can not focus on the wall located behind the head of the berth.
Floral print. To create a romantic image of the room, a floral print is perfect. And yet the bedroom is most often a space for two. In order to balance the atmosphere and not go too far with the femininity of the interior, a floral pattern on the wallpaper is most often used as an accent wall decoration. Depending on the quality of the wallpaper, a floral print can be used to create a classic, romantic, modern interior and in the style of screws, shabby chic.
Often a floral or floral print resonates with animalistic motifs in the design of the walls of the bedroom. Images of animals, birds, fish and insects contribute to the creation of a relaxing, but at the same time boring atmosphere of the room. Most often, such a wallpaper pattern can be found in projects of bedrooms in a classic, oriental and eclectic style of design.
Ornaments with geometric elements. The range of use of geometric print in the decoration of bedrooms from the point of view of familiarization with a certain style is incredibly wide. The geometric ornament looks quite strictly, concisely, but a lot depends on the chosen color schemes and their combinatorics. A geometric print can be used from classic to modern, from restrained motifs to eclecticism.
"The game of imitation." Wallpaper imitating various surfaces are at the peak of popularity. It is easy to create an accent wall using wallpaper that mimics a concrete or wooden surface, brick or masonry, peeling plaster or old paint. The originality of the image and ease of installation (compared with the original finish of stone or wood) captivate both designers and their customers.
