Ways to combine wallpaper:

  1. The horizontal combination of wallpaper allows you to visually expand a small room. This division looks best in the interior of the classic style.

Typically, manufacturers themselves provide ready-made design ideas and a selection of wallpapers that combine well with each other.

Vertical combination

This combination method has gained the greatest distribution, since a successful design for him is the easiest to think out.

And the process of pasting the walls is the simplest in this case. A proven combination of colors - black with white. It does not have to be pure colors.

The combination of wallpaper in the hall using a contrast combination allows you to make the atmosphere more strict, emphasize the unity of style in the interior. It is also important to choose the right bandwidth.

For contrasting colors and the strict design of the walls, the strips should have the same width, but when using successful combinations of non-contrasting colors (the so-called companion colors), the ideal ratio of the width of the strips is 2 to 1.

Design using horizontal stripes is much more difficult to think about, so it is less common.

However, if the ideas are implemented correctly and appropriately, this option will perfectly emphasize the interior, made in the classical style. The highlight of horizontal combination is the ability to stylishly combine wallpaper with other finishing materials, such as wood panels.

Usually, the classic rule “light top - dark bottom” applies here. It is very difficult to choose a successful combination of contrasting colors, therefore, companion colors or different shades of the same color are used.

The joint is made out with a decorative border. It is worth noting that the process of gluing walls with horizontal wallpaper is also complicated, so this option can be chosen only if you have some experience in decorating.

Tip: You can slightly facilitate the process by pre-marking the joints with a pencil or marker directly on the wall.
