Wallpaper for the bedroom: the latest in 2019
In the design of the bedroom, the owners are given complete freedom of action - the room has an incredibly favorable microclimate, there are no harmful effects on its surface, the temperature and humidity in the room are moderate. And the bedroom is most often hidden from prying eyes. As a result, the choice of finishing materials for the sleeping space appears in full - which makes it more difficult to choose a color and textured solution among an incredible variety of options. And if we take into account that the designers are on the alert and offer us all new variations of color combinations, imitations of various surfaces and even innovative components to enhance the technological properties of materials, the choice becomes a difficult dilemma. We hope that our impressive selection of design projects of bedrooms of different sizes and stylistic design options will help you find inspiration for repairs or alterations in your own bedroom.
Bedroom 2018 - features of the choice of wallpaper by composition
So, the realization that there are practically no restrictions on the choice of finishing materials for the bedroom leads us to get familiar with the main types of wallpaper that can be used for wall decoration (and in some cases - the ceiling). There are practically no harmful effects on the walls of the bedroom, which means that you can choose the paintings of the lowest price category and save on repairs or vice versa, do not spare money to finish your dream. It all depends on your financial capabilities and ideas about the final result of the bedroom repair. But to know about the technological capabilities of various types of wallpaper is necessary.
Paper wallpaper
The obvious advantages of paper canvases include the following:
- low cost;
- wide range of color schemes, prints;
- ease of gluing;
- environmental friendliness of the material (ability to "breathe").
But there are enough flaws in paper wallpapers:
- low strength and wear resistance;
- the possibility of a fairly rapid burnout of the pattern under the influence of direct sunlight;
- inability to remove contamination;
- general fragility.
But in general, we can say that paper wallpaper, if it is worth using for wall decoration, is in a bedroom. An attractive appearance and the ability to pass air in this case can outweigh the low strength of the paintings, especially if you have nothing against a change of decoration in 2-3 years.
Non-woven (non-woven wallpaper)
Non-woven wall-paper represents cloths from cellulose fibers and polymeric materials. High strength and wear resistance brought this type of wallpaper to the first place for use as a finishing material in rooms with different microclimate. In turn, all non-woven wallpaper is divided by the type of drawing the picture on the surface - with direct application and polymer coating.
Cloths with direct application represent a non-woven backing with a pattern applied directly to it. According to its shortcomings, such a finishing material is similar to paper wallpaper, although it has a more solid base. The dense base allows you to hide small irregularities in the surface of the walls or ceiling, gluing such paintings is also easier - you can only glue the wall with glue.
With a polymer coating, the drawing is not applied to the non-woven backing, but to the vinyl layer that covers it. Such a polymer layer may be smooth or foamed, embossed and silk-screened. As a result, you can get paintings with different imitations - from wood to stone.Vinyl wall-paper on a non-woven basis is one of the most popular types of decoration material used for a wide variety of rooms (the bedroom was no exception). High strength and wear resistance, the possibility of wet cleaning and even the use of cleaning products, durability and resistance to fading in the sun, a wide range of colors and the ability to simulate various surfaces - all these advantages brought this type of wallpaper to the top of the list of the most purchased finishing materials.
But when choosing vinyl wallpapers with a non-woven backing, it is important to understand that such paintings do not allow air to pass through (otherwise it would be impossible to clean them with a wet method). Some materials are capable of releasing toxic substances. It is necessary to carefully select the manufacturer, acting in accordance with GOST or in accordance with international standards.
Textile wallpaper
Textile wallpapers look great and can transform any space, even the most ordinary interior design. Considering the features of fabric cloths, and they can not be cleaned in a wet way and chemical products are used, it is in the bedroom that their use becomes most appropriate. High environmental friendliness of materials, safety for humans and the environment, also act as an argument for the use of textile wallpaper in dormitory rooms.
Textile wallpapers are paper or non-woven fabrics, on which threads or fabric are applied. The material can be made of linen or cotton (often used in the modern style of designing bedrooms), can be a velor, felt or velvet fabric (used in classic varieties of the interior style).
Textile wallpapers are not cheap (especially compared to paper canvases), but the exclusivity of the design and the stunning appearance of the bedroom decoration outweigh this drawback. In addition, textile fabrics have excellent soundproofing and thermal insulation characteristics.
Photowall-paper on various basis
The popularity of the use of photo wallpaper for decorating bedrooms does not pass from season to season. Designing an accent wall (this is the most common way to use photo printing in the interior) with an incredibly realistic landscape, abstract image or a large family photo portrait - this means creating a unique room design, because the image can be any.
Inexpensive photowall-paper is most often made of fiberglass, which has a special adhesive layer. But recently, an environmentally friendly base of bamboo or leather, cork or rubber has been increasingly used. Of course, such canvases will be expensive, but for the bedroom, where we spend a third of our lives, safety in terms of the allocation of harmful substances from finishing materials becomes above all else.
Other types of wallpaper
In addition to the popular types of wallpaper, there are also those that only appeared on the shelves of Russian stores or are sold for a long time, but are purchased so far by a small circle of customers:
- liquid wallpaper with various types of textures, additives and inclusions (from small rhinestones to particles of colored glass);
- fiberglass cloths for painting or with already applied coloring.
The commitment of the modern style to the use of all natural leads to the active use of paintings, which are used as textured elements:
- the smallest shells;
- straw particles;
- small pebbles;
- wood shavings, twigs, sawdust.
Color and texture: current ideas
It has long been proven that different colors can have different effects on our mental and physical condition. No wonder color therapy is actively used all over the world. Considering the fact that we spend a third of our time in a dream, it is important to create in the room in which we have to fall asleep and wake up the most favorable atmosphere for this.Of course, each of us has our own opinion on how an ideal bedroom should look - it is important for someone to fall asleep in a relaxed atmosphere, while others need a certain color tone right after waking up.
The following factors will affect the choice of color scheme for wall decoration with wallpaper in the bedroom:
- the size of the room (it is obvious that for small spaces it is better to use exclusively light colors);
- the level of natural illumination and the location of the room relative to the cardinal points (for a dark room located on the north side of the building, it is better to prefer a warm palette of light colors, for a room most of the time flooded with sunbeams, you can also prefer a cool color scheme);
- interior design style and color schemes of the main furniture (beds and storage systems);
- When choosing wallpaper colors, it is important to consider the color scheme for window drapery. If the wallpaper is monophonic, then it will be possible to use a fabric with a pattern and vice versa - prints “require” the use of textiles for windows without a pattern.
Plain wallpaper
Solid wall decoration is an actual way to create a concise and even slightly minimalist interior. Given the trends of recent seasons, the desire for simplicity and the rejection of luxury will be a trend for a long time to come. Plain wallpaper is the perfect backdrop to highlight the main bedroom interior item - forging with its textile design.
Coloring experts recommend choosing light natural shades for bedroom decoration - all half-tones of beige, brown, gray, olive, pistachio. The neutral background of wall decoration will favorably affect our psyche, creating a calm, pacifying stop of the room for sleeping and relaxing.
Canvas with a picture
In Russian dwellings, there is a long tradition of using wallpaper with a pattern and no fashion trends can incline many owners of apartments and houses to buy solid-color finishing materials for their own bedrooms. Despite any trends, Russians most often purchase wallpapers with floral motifs. A light floral pattern can calm your nerves, give your eyes a rest after a hard day's work, set them to rest and sleep, and also bring notes of freshness, spring warmth and lightness to the bedroom interior.
But most designers advocate the use of a geometric and abstract print for those who want to use wallpaper with a pattern in the decoration of the walls of the bedroom. If you plan to cover all the walls with prints, it is better to dwell on discreet options without colorful and contrasting combinations. To design an accent wall located behind the head of the bed, you can stay at brighter, more original prints, especially if the size of the room allows.
Using wallpaper to decorate your bedroom: combination options
One of the most popular (for many seasons in a row) options for combining wallpaper in the decoration of a bedroom is to highlight an accent wall. Most often, the wall behind the head of the bed becomes such a surface - as a result, the most important piece of the interior of the sleeping room is visually highlighted, but even the most striking performance will not prevent you from falling asleep, because the wall is out of sight of a person falling asleep on the bed.
If you are only trying yourself in the field of creating interior design, then experts recommend choosing a wallpaper for the main decoration and accent wall from one collection - there will be no risk of discrepancy in color or texture. But one cannot expect uniqueness from such a combination. Quite bold homeowners do not disregard the options for combining wallpaper on an accent wall with other finishing materials: painting, the use of liquid wallpaper or decorative plaster and even wall panels.
But the emphasis with color, pattern or texture can be created not on the entire wall of the bedroom, but only a niche in which the head of the bed is located.This design technique looks quite impressive even in small rooms, creating a certain mood in the interior. And this can be achieved at low cost.
It is more difficult to make a combination of finishing materials within the same surface. For example, in the bedroom you can create an apron from wall panels at the bottom of vertical surfaces, and decorate their upper parts with wallpaper. The design is relevant for apartments and houses with small children and pets - in the upper part of the walls you can safely use expensive wallpapers.
