Combination Options

In classic interiors, you can often notice such a technique as the use of convex borders with imitation of stucco. The room can be glued around the perimeter, or it can be finished using a combination of whitewashed walls and wallpaper, but in this case the walls should be perfectly flat.

If the walls need to be camouflaged, then you can choose monochromatic coatings in combination with a rich pattern, which is framed by white borders at the edges.

In classical interiors, the use of photo wallpaper or the pasting of two walls with one color and the other two is not accepted. All walls must be covered identical to each other.

What to choose?

Since classic wall backgrounds are usually created with a pattern, you should know how the pattern affects the room:

  • large picture compresses the room;
  • small - expands.

Living room

For a living room of medium size (from 18 sq. Meters), you can choose a medium-sized drawing and any colors that the palette suggests.

Bedroom

In the bedroom, it is better to combine wallpaper with borders and choose light shades to make the small room seem more spacious.

Corridor

In the corridor, white light will look losing, because it can easily get dirty. Also here you need a powerful LED lighting that is not suitable for the classics.Therefore, it is better to choose dark wallpaper with a light pattern and a large pattern, if the corridor is spacious enough, or shallow, if it is narrow.

Having chosen a gold or silver pattern, you can add 1-2 wall chandeliers to the corridor and get a beautiful ebb on the pattern.

Examples in the interior

Interior with silk-stamped hot stamping wallpaper. A chest of drawers, upholstered chairs, curtains and a shade of walls are a single palette. This is one of the options of the coffee range, which is often used to create comfort in the living room.

One of the variations of the pattern "Damascus". The wall looks interesting and is an excellent background for a designer bollard, lamps and even a painting that does not overload the gaze due to the huge frame.

A great example for the interior in a traditional classic with vintage elements. For antique furniture, dark gilt-colored walls are a wonderful backdrop. A large picture is appropriate for a large hall and creates a geometry of space.

The luxurious interior looks expensive, although the secret of beauty here is not only the elegant headboard, but above all, the combination of shades of walls, curtains, bedspreads.Covering the walls here is not inferior in quality textile, although it is vinyl wallpaper from budget collections with a simple pattern.

The bedroom in the style of modern classics is a more free room decor in terms of pattern. Here flowers are allowed instead of Greco-Roman ornaments. Impressionism style palette hints at the beginning of the 20th century, and the combination of a modern wardrobe and a vintage table is quite appropriate in this style, where there is a combination of modern and ancient motifs.
