Few of the owners of their own homes are satisfied with the number of square meters in it. Most apartments need improvement, which requires considerable funds and effort. They solve the problem “without noise and dust”, without breaking the partitions and without making unnecessary costs for the expensive designer, choosing the right wallpaper, expanding the living space, freeing the interior from the accumulated rubbish.
The selected color scheme directly affects how households will feel at home. Lilac, bright blue give a feeling of spaciousness, but not everyone likes them.When choosing a wallpaper, one should take into account not only the advice of professionals and personal feelings, but also listen to the views of home.
Choosing the color of the walls, they are guided by the general principle: the cold part of the spectrum makes the room more spacious, and warm colors narrow it a little. For very light warm shades (pale yellow or peach, caramel and milk with beige) this rule does not apply. They give a feeling of spaciousness, full of clean air.
Pale silvery, bluish, green shades relax, inhibit. Those who are prone to depression, mood changes, it is better not to use them. Bright colors activate, help to overcome chronic fatigue, but do not always have a good effect on excitable people. This is especially true for babies. Colorful wallpapers in the nursery will provoke the vagaries of an overactive child.
Choosing the color of the wallpaper, take into account which side of the world the windows of the room go. On the north side use warm colors, gloss. Windows to the south will require a colder range with a matte effect.
The ideal solution, significantly increasing the volume of the room, would be the choice in favor of pastel, transitional tones, light shades of natural wood, wool, delicate pinkish, sand.
The effect will enhance a minimum of furniture, matching all furnishings to the color scheme.
The effect of texture and texture on spatial perception
Embossed wallpapers are in demand, with the help of which they not only decorate the room, but also make the space more free. Discreet volumetric patterns are appropriate in any style, indispensable for those who prefer the classics.
Walls with brilliance, overflow fill the house with light, push apart the walls. The effect is enhanced by adding glossy or mirror ceilings to the finish. It is only necessary to remember at the same time that many small pieces of furniture in the interior will double.
Intricate embossed lines distract the attention of the incoming from the volume of the room. A small room looks advantageous if it is pasted over with textured wallpaper with a small pattern. Such walls are pleasant to the touch, form an elegant background. More preferably, the coating is in the same color scheme.
The most popular textures are:
Linen. The surface of the wallpaper reproduces a dense fabric surface.
Dust. The surface is fine-grained, a good base for decoration.
Canvas. The outer layer simulates a porous structure.
Plaster. Deliberately careless relief over the entire surface.
To place modern accents, to design a room in the old direction, a coating that imitates masonry, brick, leather or metal helps. Structural materials that can be repainted more than once create an interesting design.
For difficult choices, smooth and textured coatings are easy to combine.
Which drawing to choose
There is a well-known rule: to decorate a room with light wallpaper without any drawings, and if there is one, it is only small and directed vertically, very restricting the flight of imagination, making the room boring. Special techniques will allow the use of bright colors, and even a large picture.
The base color should really be light. Others will take away from the room about 40% of its volume. White is also better not to use. A room less than 8 squares will resemble a hospital or a bathroom. Focus on the color of carpets, furniture, basic accessories.
Textured walls are desirable. Even a slight relief of the “matting” creates a play of shadows, which makes one see more space.
Use shiny coatings. If you like silk-screen printing, it can be safely applied.
Patterns are also not contraindicated. If they paste over the entire room, then the geometry should not be large. With a sufficient height of the ceilings, it is better to direct the pattern horizontally, which will add space to the room.If you plan a bright carpet or a lot of paintings, photographs, it is worth buying a plain wallpaper.
Sometimes they use bright geometry and large prints. But then they draw up only one wall. Allocate one of the functional areas, the head of the bed, TV, fireplace.
The walls are glued diagonally. The area of the room will add visually if the drawing or texture is not directed in the usual way.
Enlarging a room with a combination of wallpapers
The combination will help to increase the room in height and width.
Coverage of one color scheme, but of different intensity. Use both one-color wallpapers, and with a pattern. The lower part of the wall is covered with darker ones, the upper part is lightened. In order not to "steal" the height, the border is selected thinner. The lower part of the finish should not exceed a meter.
A room of up to 10 squares can be trimmed vertically with two types of wallpaper. In a more spacious room, even 3 types of various materials are glued. "Companions" should be well combined in color, pattern. With horizontal and bright combinations, it’s better not to “overdo it”; in the small bedroom, “ripples” are better placed in the head so that it does not irritate the eye before going to bed.
An accent wall, on the contrary, is placed in the field of view. She is pasted over with expensive beautiful wallpapers and admire the beauty, sitting over a cup of coffee in the kitchen or relaxing on the sofa in the living room.
Sometimes attention is shifted to the ceiling. Then it becomes a continuation of the accent wall. A small room is not finished with dark materials, so that the ceiling does not "press" on the psyche. The combination of “companions” is smoothed out, redistributing attention to the surrounding furniture.
A small bedroom can be pasted with dark wallpaper only if it is close in shape to a square. Piers by the window or any other part of the room are made dark, except for those walls that should reflect sunlight.
Large flowers cut out from your favorite wallpaper will be useful in tight spaces, silhouettes of a kissing couple glued on top of a discreet background at the head of the bed or houses, elephants in the nursery.
Tips for visually increasing your height
A low ceiling, especially in a small kitchen or hallway, can make them even closer. To visually lift it, use the following techniques:
Wallpaper with a glossy surface will increase the height of the room, make the space deeper.

The ceiling is papered with murals depicting a heavenly height.
If the walls and ceiling have the same hue finish, the border between them is blurred, the eye does not fix a certain border, the space visually increases.
Furniture is worth choosing light, it is possible with glossy facades. They prefer cornice lighting, LED tapes are placed around the perimeter, LED lamps are under the cornices. The spotlights on the wall cabinets point to the ceiling.
Doors and windows are pulled as much as possible. The ceiling is made multi-level, combining its parts with mirror tiles, "heavenly" photo wallpaper, equipping it with a false window.
Wall murals and murals
The quality of photo wallpaper is now much different from that offered in the era of the USSR. Modern photographs, now fashionable murals have excellent quality, realistic, serve for many years. Any room will become more spacious, original, warm, if you use materials with the correct drawings when designing.

For the kitchen, images of flowers, fields, waterfalls are suitable. A picture with a terrace, a space plot is appropriate in the bedroom. Urban, natural subjects are popular in the living room. The visibility of three-dimensional space will create patterns of 3D format.
To expand the cramped space, it is important to choose not only the picture, but also its location.
The frescoes used in decorating are applied using various technologies and have different sizes and shapes.Even in a small room, they can occupy the ceiling or one of the walls completely, provided that the image has a perspective, imitate an open balcony, an alley that goes into the distance, sea open space. Subjects are selected based on the style of the room.

When using photo wallpaper, attention should be paid to images with an increase in some small object (birds, shells), landscape with perspective. It is important not to spoil the effect of high furniture.
