Design of wallpaper in the apartment +75 photos of examples of walls in the interior
Wallpapering a room is a quick and relatively simple way to bring to life any design project, visually enlarge a room or divide it into functional zones. Wallpaper in the interior of the apartment can be successfully used in almost every corner of the housing: living room, bedroom, dining room, corridors, hallway, children's room or office. The variety of colors and textures opens up great opportunities in the process of creating a unique design.
Modern finishing materials for walls differ from each other not only in color and features of the picture, but also in the composition and method of gluing. When planning the interior of an apartment, one should immediately decide on the type of necessary decor that can be used in a specific style.
Paper
Paper wallpaper is a classic material for cosmetic repairs. This species is characterized by high environmental friendliness, affordable price, relative ease of gluing and subsequent care of the canvas.
Wallpaper made of paper is divided into two subspecies: duplex and simplex. Simplex paper wallpaper is a thin single-layer material that can have both smooth and corrugated structure. In addition to the above advantages, such wallpapers are endowed with a number of disadvantages:
high degree of color burnout;
reduced wear resistance;
underlining all possible wall irregularities.
Duplex consists of two layers of paper pressed together. Such a finishing material may have an embossed or corrugated structure. Separately, it is also worth highlighting a duplex for painting: such paper wallpapers are impregnated with special substances for stability during staining.
Duplex paper wallpapers perfectly camouflage wall irregularities and are less demanding on surface smoothness.
Vinyl
This type of finishing material looks much more spectacular than its paper counterpart.
Due to production technology and the likelihood of toxic substances being released, vinyl wallpapers are not recommended for pasting bedrooms and children's rooms.
Vinyl wallpapers are more durable and have a non-woven or paper base, on top of which an additional layer of polyvinyl chloride is applied. Thanks to PVC, vinyl wallpapers are more wear-resistant, are not subject to deformation due to moisture drops and are not prone to dimming.The disadvantage of this finishing material is its low breathability. But many manufacturers are already solving this problem by adding special pores to the surface of the canvas that increase air exchange.
Vinyl wallpaper can be painted. An original solution for the interior of an apartment in the city will be vinyl wallpaper with a surface imitating other decoration materials:
a rock;
wood or bamboo;
textile fabric;
plaster;
brickwork.
Non-woven
Flizelin is a non-woven sealant consisting of cellulose and textile fibers bonded with a polymer. To get non-woven wallpaper, a special vinyl coating is applied over the base layer.
Such wallpapers are durable, resistant to stretching and drying. Non-woven wallpaper is comfortable in gluing and, if necessary, can be easily removed from the wall.
The designer will like this type of finishing material due to the convenience of painting in various colors and fashionable textures imitating relief plaster.
Vinyl wallpapers hold on various surfaces without problems:
drywall;
chipboard based panels;
plaster;
porous concrete.
When gluing the adhesive solution is applied to the surface of the wall. Wallpaper itself does not need cutting: installation can be done directly from a roll, cutting off excess material with a knife.
Acrylic
This two-layer material is a paper base coated with a layer of foamed acrylic. Such wallpapers are somewhat cheaper than vinyl, but also have lower wear resistance and vulnerability to high humidity in the room.
But replacing vinyl with acrylic improves the breathability of the material without compromising its strength. Thin acrylic wallpapers are suitable for apartments in which there are pets.
Since acrylic is applied on a paper base in a metered way, such wallpapers are appropriate for living quarters and can be used in bedrooms and a room for children.
Finishing material of this type usually has a convex embossed pattern, which will help to visually increase the room.Therefore, acrylic wallpaper remains an excellent modern option for wall decoration in Khrushchev.
Textile
To create textile wallpapers using natural fabrics, which are applied on a paper, non-woven or synthetic basis. The most popular types used in the manufacture of textile finishing material are silk, jute, felt or foamed polypropylene and linen.
The indisputable advantage of textile wallpaper is its luxurious and even bohemian appearance. Such wallpapers are durable, their naturalness and environmental friendliness do not pose a threat to human health. For those who are eager to get the perfect seamless relief, it is worth stopping your choice of finishing materials from textiles.
But for the implementation of such an idea will have to pay significantly. Textile wallpaper is quite expensive, capricious when pasting and require frequent cleaning with a vacuum cleaner. But with them even a small one-room apartment will become like royal chambers.
Photowall-paper
Any interior project will sparkle with new colors if modern photo murals with high-quality and clear printing are introduced into it. A variety of drawings allows you to originally decorate not only the walls, but also the ceiling. For example, in a nursery or bedroom, wall murals in the form of a starry sky will be interesting to look at.
The bright juicy picture organically fits into the kitchen interior. Wall murals depicting scarlet poppies, mouth-watering fruits or picturesque landscapes perfectly complement the modern design of the apartment-judge.
The combination of photo wallpaper with other types of decoration materials helps to make the main emphasis in the interior or to divide the room into thematic zones.
Wall murals can be made on a paper or non-woven basis, using a special canvas, vinyl coating or lamination.
Metallized
Metallized wallpaper is an effective finishing material, which is a layer of aluminum foil applied to a non-woven or paper base. Such a decorated surface looks impressive and expensive, a shiny coating helps to visually increase the room.
Moisture resistance and a service life of up to 10 years offset the high price of finishing. Metallized wallpapers are also able to reflect electromagnetic radiation, protecting households from its negative effects.
The disadvantages of this material include vapor permeability and inability to pass air. Such a combination of material characteristics makes its back surface an ideal medium for the development of mold. Such wallpapers are prone to scratches and require a careful attitude, although they differ in good performance.
Sticking metallized wallpaper requires careful surface preparation. The wall should be perfectly smooth.
Liquid
Liquid wallpaper is suitable for repair and decoration of almost any room. This material is an environmentally friendly mixture of cellulose, textiles, decor in the form of glitters with an adhesive base, which reveals its properties after soaking in a certain amount of water.
This type of material is applied to prepared by soil walls and perfectly hides surface irregularities. The principle of applying a pasty mass is somewhat reminiscent of puttying. After drying, the wallpaper is a soft seamless canvas, remotely similar to textiles.
Thanks to the liquid wallpaper in the interior, you can create whole compositions on the walls: the material combined in different colors and the stencils of the necessary drawings allow you to depict both simple geometric ornaments and more complex patterns with soft smooth lines.
Liquid wallpaper is quite durable, damaged areas are easily removed from the wall and re-finished with spare material. The natural composition and ease of care allow you to use a similar finish in the nursery. In the kitchen, they should be additionally coated with a layer of varnish to increase the color depth and facilitate subsequent surface care.
Cullet
Fiberglass wallpaper is much like textile.For the manufacture of the material, a special type of glass is used, which is converted into fibers at high temperatures. Fiber yarn serves as the basis for the manufacture of fiberglass wallpaper.
Conventionally, cullet can be divided into smooth and embossed:
Smooth glass walls, the so-called "spider line" or fiberglass, are used to seal and align walls, hide cavities, humps and cracks. In addition to reinforcing properties, smooth cullets are also used for decorative surface finishes.
Embossed fiberglass wallpaper has a greater texture and density. To obtain a more complex pattern during their production, special jacquard machines are used.
Both types of material are resistant to high humidity and sudden changes in temperature, do not interfere with air exchange, so they can even be used to decorate the bathroom. Among other advantages of cullets, fire resistance, strength, durability, electrostaticity, naturalness and durability during repeated stains should be highlighted.
The choice of materials for decoration
When developing a project for the future interior, one should take into account the technical features and dimensions of the apartment or house. The decoration of the room, a selection of colors and features of gluing are closely related to the type of wallpaper purchased for decoration.
Search for materials by color and print
The walls of the room are the main background for furniture and decor. Properly selected wallpaper will help to make the interior harmonious and emphasize the features of the headset or dining table.
Spacious and bright rooms with plenty of natural light are best shaded by cool colors, for example, light gray. Dark and warm shades visually reduce the space, so you should avoid using them in the area of a small kitchen or compact hall.
A contrasting vertical strip allows you to stretch the room, hiding the real height of the ceilings.
Horizontal lines visually expand the walls.
Small-sized wallpapers in warm colors are suitable for medium-sized rooms. A large print on the wall is dangerous because it creates the illusion of a small space. Therefore, large-flowered wallpaper patterns are completely unsuitable for small rooms.
Finishing materials
Thin glossy wallpapers without any texture look perfect on perfectly smooth walls. A smooth canvas fits equally well in rooms of both large and small sizes:
compact rooms with wallpaper without texture seem larger;
spacious apartments, whose walls are finished with similar material, optically look even more magnificent.
Textured wallpaper with a volumetric relief pattern is not suitable for use in confined spaces. With them, small rooms will seem even smaller, the risk of a peculiar effect of "crushing walls" increases. But this type of finishing material is simply indispensable for uneven surfaces.
Fans of interesting textures can turn their attention to liquid, textile or fiberglass wallpapers that allow you to achieve interesting design results. Also, finished walls with an unusual texture can be originally beaten with the help of lighting.
The choice according to the style of the interior
When searching for the best option among thousands of types of finishing materials, one should not forget about the style of the interior in which the repair is carried out. Thanks to different prints, it’s not difficult to choose a wallpaper that matches a specific current, even for a person who is far from the basics of design. But still there are some nuances that are worth paying attention to when buying:
To emphasize the Provencal motifs in the interior, look at the smooth wallpaper in delicate and soft shades, for example, blue, pale pink and light lilac.A small floral print depicting miniature roses also signals that they belong to the French country;
Golden monograms and rich ornaments belong to the more pompous and majestic styles of Empire, Rococo and Baroque;
Loft welcomes imitation of natural materials. Textured masonry or a noble wooden log cabin of brown color depicted on the wallpaper will refresh and complement the interior in the loft direction.
Combination in the interior
The combination of wallpapers of different colors and textures reveals the range of possibilities of the designer and serves as a real tool for correcting the room.
If you like large ornaments, but the small dimensions of the room do not allow to translate a design dream into reality, you can always use the “active” wall technique. Select one plane to which you want to attract attention, and paste over it with wallpaper with an interesting pattern. For the remaining walls, select plain wallpaper to match. For example, in this way you can beat the wall behind the head of the bed in the bedroom.
A plinth from wallpaper is another version of the classic combination of two types of materials. In rooms with low ceilings, it is appropriate to make a small plinth of dark color, combined with a light "top". The lower part of the wall can be decorated with wallpaper with a black and gray pattern, which will also visually add to the room the missing centimeters.
The horizontal joint of dissimilar finishing materials must be covered with a curb.
For the hall
Homeowners often spend less time in the living room than in other rooms. That is why gluing vinyl wallpapers that are not recommended for decorating bedrooms, children's rooms and workrooms is appropriate here.
Most often, the room is well lit by sunlight, so the selection of smooth textures in unobtrusive cold shades will harmoniously emphasize a large bright room.
Photowall-paper pasted only on one wall also looks elegant.
In addition, you can beat the texture surface with the help of spotlights. They will not only serve as an additional source of lighting, but also emphasize the unusual surface topography.
The living room looks even more solemn if you opt for textile finishing materials made of silk. They will give the room a special gloss and appropriate pomposity and will be interesting to combine with curtains.
For bedroom
The main criterion for choosing materials for decorating the bedroom is safety. Opt for classic paper wallpapers and their liquid counterpart.
Despite the safe and natural composition, textile materials are best left for the living room. Fabric wallpapers can attract dust and require frequent vacuuming. Due to the fact that the owners of the apartments spend the most time in the bedroom, they will have to clean more often. Allergy sufferers reacting sharply to dust mites should completely abandon this type of finish.
Choosing a color scheme for the decoration of bedroom furniture, choose muted shades that will not overload the nervous system. Match the palette with your other half, as the male choice of your favorite colors can differ significantly from the female.
The ceiling, decorated with photo wallpaper, can be a real “highlight” of the interior. Images of distant stars or lulling clouds will help you enjoy your night's rest in a comfortable and cozy atmosphere.
For children
In the children's room, everything is created for the baby, so do not forget to consult with the child and reasonably realize his wishes. As in the bedroom, finishing materials for the children's room should be as safe as possible. However, here an important selection criterion will be the wear resistance of the wallpaper, which can suffer from the pranks of a small host.
Liquid wallpaper meets the requirements for a natural and safe composition.The simplicity of dismantling makes them simply indispensable for rooms whose walls can suddenly become an easel for a young artist. To remove a soiled or simply damaged area of the finish, simply soak the wallpaper with a spray gun and scrape off the soft material.
Duplex paper wallpapers are also suitable for children's rooms. They are stronger than their single-layer counterpart and are also made from natural components.
For kitchen
Finishing materials for kitchen walls have a number of requirements:
Wallpaper for the kitchen should be moisture resistant, as it may require frequent wet cleaning;
High vapor permeability is necessary for quick drying of the canvas;
If you plan to paint the walls, choose a wallpaper that is resistant to repeated application of paint. Excess moisture resistant to soiling detergents and fumes make it necessary to renew color much more often;
The density of the canvas indicates its strength, which is especially important in the kitchen;
Choose options with a smooth surface, since removing dirt from a relief canvas is much more difficult.
Paper wallpapers are of little use for the kitchen: here they quickly become worthless and lose their attractive appearance. It is worth abandoning textile options that quickly absorb and retain all the smells. Embossed acrylic textures are not suitable due to the difficulty of peeling.
Stop your choice on washable, non-woven, vinyl and glass wallpapers, which not only possess the qualities necessary for kitchen conditions, but also are highly decorative.
For the hallway
The interior of the hallway harmoniously looks warm shades that give a small room comfort. Visually increase the space help vertical and horizontal stripes, a print in the form of a small geometric ornament.
The entrance hall, like the kitchen, is an area with an increased risk of pollution. Therefore, for wall decoration it is worth choosing a washable material.Vinyl and liquid wall-paper also perfectly transfers durability check when pasting in this part of the apartment.
Wall murals look very aesthetically pleasing and set the tone for the interior of the house literally from the doorway. Textures with imitation of stone, wood or bamboo also look original.
You can protect the wallpaper from damage with the help of wooden panels acting as a baseboard. This natural material is especially effective in loft and country styles.
How to glue
Sticking any kind of wallpaper has common features:
After you have chosen a specific material, get all the necessary tools for gluing walls.
Prepare the walls by removing the old coating and filling all the flaws of the plane. If necessary, process the plastered areas with sandpaper.
Apply a primer to the wall for better adhesion of the plane and the finishing material, further protecting the surface from mold and fungus.
Unroll the rolls and cut the material into pieces of the required length, leaving a few centimeters along the free edge. If the wallpaper is patterned, immediately outline the places needed for clipping.
Apply wallpaper glue and start gluing on pre-prepared walls.
After gluing, observe the temperature conditions in the room and eliminate drafts.
Calculation of wallpaper around the perimeter of a room or wall area
There are two ways to calculate how much you need to purchase materials for decorating a room. The calculation around the perimeter of the room is as follows:
measure the length and width of the room and based on these data calculate the perimeter;
then from this number it is necessary to subtract the width of the door and window opening;
divide the resulting value by the roll width of the selected wallpaper;
rounding the last value to an integer, you will get the number of stripes necessary for pasting the room;
divide this value by the number of strips contained in the roll, depending on its length;
round the end result to an integer, getting the value of the required number of rolls.
Wall area calculation is more accurate and economical. To carry it out, do the following:
calculate the perimeter of the room and multiply this value by the height of the ceilings, getting the total number of square meters. m;
subtract the total area of window and door openings from this value;
calculate the area of the wallpaper from one roll, multiplying the length of the material by its width;
divide the total area of the walls for gluing on the area of the canvas of one roll.
After rounding the obtained value up, you will find out the number of wallpaper rolls necessary for finishing the room.
The walls are a huge platform, on the basis of which you can create an unusual and interesting interior design. Therefore, the decoration of these areas plays such an important role in the decoration of the entire apartment. Beautiful and high-quality glued wallpapers will become the final chord in the amazing melody of modern design, bringing real cosiness and harmony to the house.
Useful Tips
When choosing a wallpaper, consider not a sealed roll, but a length of at least a meter. This will allow you to more accurately capture the details of the picture and present it on the wall.
If possible, get a test roll to try it on the walls and see if the room will retain its harmony with such a finish.
If you are going to combine wallpapers, for example, plain and with a print, choose materials from one collection. So you definitely will not miss the color scheme and the combination of colors.
When choosing a finishing material, do not forget about the purpose of the room in which the installation will be made. Do not buy vinyl for the nursery, and paper duplex for the kitchen.
Do not save on building materials and purchase them at points of sale that can provide quality certificates for the products on offer.
Wallpapering a room is a quick and relatively simple way to bring to life any design project, visually enlarge a room or divide it into functional zones. Wallpaper in the interior of the apartment can be successfully used in almost every corner of the housing: living room, bedroom, dining room, corridors, hallway, children's room or office. The variety of colors and textures opens up great opportunities in the process of creating a unique design.
