We also point out the drawbacks of photo wallpapers in the living room, which are sometimes an obstacle to their choice.

• Some species are too thin. This makes it difficult to high-quality pasting walls and sometimes causes rupture of the material.
• Not all species are distinguished by quality. Sometimes in production use dyes that are not resistant to UV light. For this reason, wallpapers become faded, which makes the interior sloppy.
• Photowall-paper needs high-quality preparation of the basis. The texture of the material is able to demonstrate any irregularities and other base defects. This deprives the finish evenness and attractiveness.
• Depending on the width of the material, the pattern has to be joined. Not everyone can make a sticky perfect. It is especially difficult to glue them if the wall has drops in the grooves.
• Companions to such wallpaper should not have a picture. Otherwise, the wallpapers lose their expressiveness, the interior composition suffers.

All wallpapers are distinguished by the type of material.

Conventionally, canvas with photo printing can be divided into several categories:

• paper;
• vinyl;
• non-woven;
• textile.

Each type has its own characteristics and features of the texture.

Paper varieties are sometimes too simple. Despite the fact that they may be double-layered, the drawing often has no effect. This is a classic photo on paper with a smooth and smooth surface.

Vinyl wallpapers more interesting. They are somewhat thicker, can have two types of substrate, as well as a matte type of surface without loss of brightness and expressiveness of the pattern. It is easy to glue them using special glue for vinyl or heavy wallpaper. However, such sheets during the operation emit toxins into the air.

Non-woven photo wallpaper more interesting and more environmentally friendly than vinyl analogs. Some elasticity is inherent in them, due to what wallpaper is easy to dock. The density of such varieties is less, they are thinner, although stronger than vinyl. The texture can have some relief.

Textile the varieties are created by gluing individual fibers or weaving them onto a non-woven substrate. These wallpapers look expensive, they are able to convey the realism of the image quite high. The disadvantage of this type of photo wallpaper is the tendency of cloths to accumulate dust. In addition, they are difficult in pasting.

The uniqueness of the photo wallpaper is that they can be used in any style of the interior.

When studying the nuances of stylistics, you can enter your favorite images in the interiors:

• classical (classical, neoclassical, empire, baroque, rococo);

• ethnic (Chinese, Japanese, African, Arabic, Italian, Scandinavian style);

• modern (hi-tech, modern, kitsch);

• Vintage (Provence, Country).

However, the right approach to decorating the space is important. For example, the desired shade is of great importance in a particular style.

Today popular:

• natural flower colors for Asian motifs;
• bright color spots for urban sketches;
• pastel for the interior in vintage style;
• neutral styling for a special selection.

Excluded acid and sharp paints. You can use different shades of the color palette, but moderately. Their abundance will force to reduce the number of furnishings, which is not always possible. When choosing neutral combinations (black and white drawings), a shade of fresh greens is surely introduced into the interior. Bright strokes are softened with white, beige, light and whitish shades, sometimes beige and turquoise.

Design solutions for photo wallpapers are diverse.

The most interesting images today are:

• branches of cherry blossoms against the backdrop of mountains or fanz;
• the streets of ancient cities with hanging greens;
• Chinese painting with hieroglyphs;
• stylized herbal compositions;

• large single flowers;
• London sights;
• images of city parks and squares;
• forest oak forests with glimpses of sunlight;
• life of the night city.

Marine themes, as well as large roses today are not so popular. Images with the sea are not always relevant in the design of the living room. The priority is orchids, sakura petals, dandelion umbrellas, peonies and lilies. More interesting are the wallpapers that realistically convey the effect of two textures. For example, it may be a simple drawing of the embankment in the center and imitation of brick trim along the edges. Made in a single color scheme, such a picture will successfully fit into a modern interior.

We should also highlight the texture of the photo wallpaper. It is due to it that the image is more realistic. The most interesting types of coatings are photo wallpapers with a pattern on the basis of a plaster, canvas, murals.Sometimes it does look like linen fabric or even sand.

The modern market of finishing products offers a lot of photo wallpapers for every taste. In a large range of easy to get confused.

To simplify the task of choice, we offer several secrets, the knowledge of which will allow you to make a correct and harmonious choice.

• Always watch what you buy. Often on the packaging image is presented in the best light. In fact, it is paler, the picture may be fuzzy, and the quality - unworthy of purchase.
• Try to choose the option you want in natural light or during the day. Evening light distorts shades.
• Do not try to photograph the desired option, selecting in the future its color to your interior. The camera almost always distorts the tone.
• Ideally, you can take with you a small accessory of the desired color (for example, a sofa cushion cover) if you want support for photo wallpaper.

• Buying wallpaper, expanding the space, push off the room footage. The size of the picture must be reliable. Large prints are not elements that increase the living area of ​​the living room.
• For small living rooms (for example,"Khrushchev") it is better to choose a wallpaper mural. They look better in small spaces. Large canvases look more harmonious in spacious rooms.
• In the living room, combined with the kitchen, it is preferable to choose a dynamic image. However, the subject should not be kitchen.

• For finishing the small living room try not to use the canvas in dark colors. Here you need to make lightness. Eliminate the complex theme of images: it breaks comfort in the interior of the room.
• Discard the glossy texture. In most cases, these canvases simplify the interior. With built-in lighting ceiling structures on it will glare.
• Prefer the canvas with the texture of canvas, decorative plaster. They are not beaten, they look stylish and expensive against the general background.

The layout of the photo wallpaper in an apartment or private house depends on the design features of a particular room.

Performing repairs do it yourself, you can place wallpaper:

• on the accent wall of the hall, near which the sofa will be placed;
• in the corner of the room where the low narrow shelf is located, and the sofa perpendicular to it;
• on the partition with a sofa located near it;
• above the fireplace in the form of a small panel or on either side of it;
• on the side of the video zone with a TV;
• in a niche or on a wall between two ledges.

Corner arrangement is particularly appropriate in a small room. Here you can beat the lack of space due to realistic images. At the same time, it is precisely this that is able to make the interior deep, visually erasing the hard borders of the wall floors. An interesting technique is the use of separate inserts on the protrusions, separated by plain textural wallpaper or mirrors.

Sometimes it is better to decorate the area opposite the sofa with photo murals. If the room is spacious, there are two sofas opposite each other in it, you can glue the wallpaper on one of the adjacent walls. In this case, you can arrange the wallpaper as a picture, enclosing them in a frame of a baguette with gold leaf. If the living room has a fireplace, trimmed with brick, you can choose or order a picture with an identical imitation of its texture. In this case, it is better to place the mural on the wall adjacent to the fireplace.
