Wallpaper for the bedroom - trends of 2019
The choice of wallpaper for the bedroom is one of the most pleasant items in the process of repairing a home. On the one hand, the bedroom is a private room and not all eyes of the guests are turned to it, as happens with the living room. On the other hand, the microclimate of the sleeping space is normal, its walls are not contaminated and are not exposed to moisture, as in the hallway or kitchen, for example. So, the choice of material for wall decoration is incredibly wide in terms of a variety of technical characteristics. It remains only to determine the color and texture solutions - and here in front of each owner of an apartment or private house there is a big dilemma. I would like to create a truly relaxing, calm atmosphere in the bedroom, using light, neutral shades. But at the same time I do not want to get another boring, stamped interior. We hope that our large-scale selection of design projects of bedrooms that used wallpaper in the decoration will help you find the very “golden mean” of creating the interior of your dreams.
Modern Wallpaper - Specifications
The choice of wallpaper for the bedroom is incredibly significant - after all, wall decoration forms the background on which all the interior items are located. And the image of the room, its character and uniqueness largely depend on how vertical surfaces look. No special loads are placed on the walls in the bedroom, so you can choose from the wide variety of wallpaper designs that the modern market of finishing materials can imagine:
- paper wallpapers - eco-friendly and cheap, with a wide selection of colors, a variety of prints. Paper wallpapers are able to “breathe”, which is important for the room in which we spend a third of our lives during sleep. The disadvantages of such canvases include the fragility and the possibility of burning the picture in the sun, as well as the lack of the ability to clean the surface in case of contamination. If you want to save money and are ready to change the wall decoration in the bedroom in 2-3 years, then this design option is yours;
- Vinyl wallpapers - strong and durable enough, with a wide selection of colors and patterns. The surface can be cleaned in case of contamination (even use a damp sponge). But this kind of decoration cannot be called completely eco-friendly - vinyl wallpapers are not able to let air through;
- non-woven wallpaper - very strong and practical, durable and largely universal. Such canvases can be repainted several times. A wide range of colors and textures, the ability to simulate various surfaces - from masonry to an aged concrete wall;
- Natural wallpapers are made of bamboo, cotton, jute, cane and attached to a paper base. High environmental properties keep up with no less cost;
- liquid wallpapers have recently gained increasing popularity - they are easy to apply, the surface is seamless, often with an original texture. But color solutions are limited to monophonic options (this type of wallpaper is an excellent option for combined decoration of a bedroom);
- textured wallpapers look original, add coziness to the bedroom decor, but may not be suitable for rooms with a very modest area;
- You can also find the use of photowall-paper to create an accent surface in modern design projections of sleeping rooms (the image can be the most diverse - from a beautiful landscape to a family portrait over the wall).
2017 trends
The main trend of the new season in the world of creating interior design can be considered the formation of personal comfort as the basis for the concept of designing a room for any functional purpose. And where, if not in the bedroom to raise personal comfort in absolute.If you think that the bright wall behind the head of the bed will become a decoration of a light interior, then this is exactly what makes sense to design the rooms. If you are convinced that only with the help of light outflows you can create a truly comfortable, relaxed atmosphere of the sleeping space, then at your service are many options for the execution of wallpaper in pastel colors.
Nevertheless, the designers offer us several directions in the field of finishing materials, which, among other things, can be used to design sleeping rooms:
natural motifs - the use of landscapes to create an accent wall using photo wallpaper, a floral pattern on a light background, natural shades that are often found in the environment;
imitation of concrete, wood, stone or brickwork will be an excellent accent in a room decorated in a modern style;
white, black and gray - the main colors for creating a graphic print in fashionable wallpaper collections;
a combination of wallpapers that are not only excellent in color but also in quality of performance - this can be highlighting an accent wall or using fragments of paintings to create panels;
large geometric print for creating accent surfaces;
using metallic effect to give the interior more luxury and glamor.
If the bedroom uses wallpaper with the presence of a golden, copper or silver sheen, then the interior automatically seems richer, more luxurious, but more romantic. The metallic luster reflects the light perfectly, wallpapers with a similar effect are simply designed to create an emphasis on the depth of the room. But at the same time, some romance, mystery, a hint of the intimacy of the atmosphere appears in the room.
Color scheme for decoration - plain and printed wallpaper
The following criteria influence the choice of wallpaper for the bedroom:
- size and shape of the room;
- the location of the room relative to the cardinal points (for the north side it is better to use a warm color scheme, for the south side - you can use cold shades);
- the number and size of window openings - the intensity of natural light;
- selected design style;
- personal color and texture preferences of the owners of the bedroom.
If your bedroom is modest in size, then any specialist will suggest you use a light, plain palette for wall decoration. White color and its shades will help visually expand a small space and create a light, fresh image of the room. But this does not mean that you have no room for maneuvers with a combination of finishes. As a material for creating an accent wall, you can use wallpaper with a dull pattern. It can be a canvas of the same tone as the material for the main finish, but equipped with embossing or print in pastel colors. The interior will not be boring, nor will you create the effect of the enclosed space of a small bedroom.
Designers love to offer their customers wall finishing options using a wide palette of shades of gray. This is due to the neutrality of the tone itself and the possibility of combining such finishes with any furniture and decor items. Gray color will be an excellent background for the main bedroom interior item - the bed. At the same time, he is able to bring notes of calm nobility to the design of the room.
The beige palette never goes out of style. Even if all the designers of the world agree and propose not to use a range of shades from light beige to dark chocolate in the design of residential premises, the owners of houses and apartments will all actively use this gamut to decorate their homes. And where, if not in the bedroom, to create a warm, pleasant, relaxing atmosphere in which literally everyone is able to feel comfortable. That is why all the leading manufacturers of finishing materials always have options in their new collections on the theme of using a beige color palette.
The use of such a design technique as highlighting an accent wall is more popular than ever when designing sleeping spaces. This is due to the possibility of creating an accent on the wall located behind the head of the bed. As a result, owners can get an original interior with “boring” color schemes, but at the same time they will fall asleep in a calm and peaceful atmosphere, because a bright or colorful print of an accent wall is not in their sight.
To create an accent wall, wallpapers with various prints can be used. In the bedroom often used paintings with a floral pattern. This is due to the fact that smooth images of plants contribute to creating an atmosphere for rest and relaxation.
But strict geometric prints are able to bring dynamics and the tone necessary for many owners to the bedroom interior. Such accent wall decoration can be useful for quick waking up or for those who have a workplace in the bedroom - a small home office.
Wallpaper in dark tones (plain or with a pattern) makes sense only for owners of bedrooms with a large area. Many modern people need the presence of dark surfaces to calm and relax after a hard day, filled with colorful advertisements, flickering illuminations of a big city. But it is important to understand that the use of dark tones for decorating a room is possible only with perfect alignment of surfaces and observing a clear geometry of space.
It is important for all fans of bright color solutions to remember that experts do not recommend using more than three primary colors when decorating any room. For example, if your bedroom furniture is made in brown (black, wood, gray), the walls are painted or pasted with a light tone (white, beige), then another bright color can be used to add emphasis. More colors are not only difficult to combine, but also dangerous to use in the sleeping space, at the risk of creating confusion, confusion in the interior.
Another interesting design technique for creating an original decoration of the room is associated with the selection with the help of accent paintings not only the entire surface of the wall, but only its fragments. As a rule, using bright paintings (different from the main background) they create something like a panel framed by moldings. You can use very expensive, beautiful wallpapers to decorate one or several walls (most often, the surface behind the head of the bed to focus on the main piece of furniture). Such decor not only introduces an element of symmetry in the design of the bedroom, but also increases the level of elegance, originality of the interior.
Wallpaper with vertical stripes does not go out of style. Not only the fact that such a print contributes to a visual increase in the height of the room, helps him maintain his leading position, but also gives the interior a certain severity, aristocratic elegance.
