Combined wallpaper in the interior

To create a unique interior, stylish and fashionable design of the room, designers are calling to turn their attention to the possibility of combining different wallpapers in one space. There are lots of ways of such unification, each has its own purpose and its own pros and cons. Consider in this article all aspects of combining wallpaper.

Special features

Modern wallpaper manufacturers have long been offering several suitable types of wallpaper to combine in one room. Designers develop special collections in which double wallpaper companions are presented, made in the same color range, from the same material, with the same relief. Usually one of the companions is a bright, motley canvas or with a fantasy pattern, and the second is a one-color version suitable for color.

But this does not mean at all that when selecting the design for the walls, it is necessary to strictly follow the factory proposal. Having a good taste and understanding of the basic rules of combination, you can create your own ensemble, unique and special.

First of all, it is necessary to assess the size and characteristics of the room, its illumination, shape and purpose.

For smaller rooms, you should choose the bright colors of both companions, this will help to expand the space and let in more light.

Perhaps a combination of dark wallpaper with a white pattern and a pure white companion. Vertical stripes on the walls will help to visually lift the ceiling, but if the stripes are very active, they should certainly be diluted with a more restrained partner.

Plain wallpaper can look boring, require a large number of accessories to create an atmosphere, however, bright prints on the walls will help bring solemnity and elegance.

Thus, the main features of the combination are deliberately depressing too bright patterns that can cause discomfort in large volumes, placing accents with the help of contrasting solutions, diversifying the interior of the room, transforming the imperfect apartment layout.

However, with an independent choice of wallpaper companions it is worth being careful: usually when choosing more than 2 types of canvases, it can be difficult to avoid chaos. When the room is fully plastered, the furniture is placed, it seems to be a mess due to the abundance of variegation. You must have a good spatial fantasy or use ready-made options for interiors, if you really want to realize the idea of ​​combining 3 or 4 different wallpapers at once.

Decorating effects

By combining wallpaper, you can achieve some effective foundations in interior design. For example, to focus on any area in the room. In the bedroom, the wall that has the bed can be covered with bright floral wallpaper, while the other three walls are done in a single pastel color scheme.

Sometimes the design of the room wallpaper on the wall does not end there. Zoning provides continuation of pasting on the ceiling. This technique is used both in the bedroom and in the living room. In the latter case, most often they want to allocate either a part of the wall behind the sofa or behind the TV, and especially bold owners unite these two spaces, starting to glue them behind upholstered furniture, continuing on the ceiling and ending with a part of the wall behind the TV.

The visual effect of the decor can make you feel like watching a movie in a movie theater.

Bold ideas come to those who choose zoning the wall with several wallpapers. In this case, there is no functional meaning, where and how to glue this or that canvas by color and texture. Adhere to the principle of symmetry or beat the architectural features of the room. Such a combination will help to hide the layout defect.

If the walls in the apartment are uneven, combining the wallpaper is the best way to hide it. Bright accents will distract attention, and a well-chosen texture will visually smooth the wall.

To expand the space and “lift” the ceilings will help the right choice of the method of combination. Designers have long used tricks of combining different colors and prints in the same room for these purposes; anyone can now try one of the options, the main thing is to follow the advice and clearly understand what effect you want to achieve.

The wall as a bright element of the decor will help solve many problems:

  • will allow to refuse the selection of small accessories, such as paintings, shelves, decorative mirrors, vases;
  • create a strong accent that can be supported with just a couple of pillows in similar colors or prints;
  • save your money on the purchase of additional design attributes;
  • will give a sense of completeness in the interior.

Ways

To choose the best way to combine the wallpaper, you should determine the strengths and weaknesses in the architecture of the room. Proper combination of colors and patterns will help to visually transform the room, increase it and make it lighter. Consider these methods in more detail:

Horizontal blend

This technique has been known for a very long time, it is widely used to create a classic style. It is used by those who want to expand the room visually, to make the room spacious.

When creating an interior with a combination of wallpaper horizontally, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the functional and stylistic design requirements:

  • the top should always be lighter than the bottom. Otherwise, the room will not be more spacious, but rather narrower;
  • it is necessary to measure the length of the wallpaper from the floor so that the horizontal strip of the junction is parallel to the upper border of the furniture (the room may begin to “dance” because the floor is usually not always perfectly level);
  • if the joint is a bit tangled, it can be decorated with either a paper border, or a molding, or a wooden lath. If the upper and lower parts of the wallpaper differ in thickness and relief, the paper border can not be used. He is very thin and not able to make the transition beautiful and smooth.

The proportions of the horizontal division are possible different, much depends on the design and the selected print of the wallpaper:

  • Division wall 50/50 It will be beautiful and dynamic if you choose two monophonic canvas without a pattern, contrasting in color, separated by white molding. It is possible to consider wallpaper with a print, but note that in such a division you give equal importance to both halves of the wall, which means that the drawing must be equivalent, otherwise the design of the room will become difficult to understand, will cause controversial emotions;
  • The lower part is narrow, the upper is wide. This classic version suggests the most understandable solution: light wallpaper above and darker below. Often in such combinations there are wallpapers with a striped print, damask pattern, floral pattern, plain companions;
  • The lower part is very wide, the upper one is narrow. This is an exquisite combination that can be skillfully beaten if you find good partners. Beautiful and elegant looks monochrome wide bottom with a narrow strip of wallpaper with an ornament at the top;
  • The division of the wall into 3 parts. The basic principle is the principle of symmetry. The lower and upper parts in width should be the same, regardless of how wide the middle part is.

Vertical combination

Vertical stripes on the walls of the room visually make the ceiling higher. And it does not matter how many such strips in the interior. For example, in a room pasted over with monochromatic neutral color wallpaper, to add accents or to create natural elements of the decor, it is worth making a variety by introducing several strips of wallpaper with an ornament. Such bands are best seen as an auxiliary attribute of the zone selection.

For example, a TV hanging in the living room can be framed on the sides by two canvases with an ornament. The same ornament can allocate one wide strip of the area behind the sofa, just opposite the TV.

Patchwork combination

Popularization of the hand-made has contributed to the fact that now almost everyone knows what a patchwork is. Fashionable today "grandmothers" blankets smoothly moved to the walls.

This technique combines a variety of prints and colors. Strips, ornaments, cell, flowers, peas - all this is on one wall, and it looks harmonious and cheerful.

Mural

This method allows you to creatively decorate the walls of the room, without looking for suitable paintings or posters. A panel of wallpapers with an interesting print is perfectly combined with companion wallpapers or with any other paintings that are suitable in texture and color, while they do not bear heavy semantic load, unlike the picture. You can also consider the option with photo wallpapers.

The joint of the panel and the main canvas is usually decorated with moldings or wooden slats.

Vertical combination in the living room is appropriate with inserts of wallpaper with a pattern in conjunction with a solid partner.

The form of the panel can be practically any, but such geometric figures as a rectangle or a square look harmonious in the interior. Corners can be beveled or rounded. The choice of the geometry of such a painting depends entirely on the availability of a suitable way to decorate the joint.

When designing a classic design or baroque style in the interior, this method of combination will create the necessary atmosphere and will favorably support the idea.

Accent

Often in interior design there is a reception, where one of the four walls of the room is made with an active accent print, while the other 3 are plain. This technique is good for any room. So you can select a dining area in the kitchen, a wall that has a sofa in the living room or a bed in the bedroom, a play area in the nursery. Moreover, the use of photowalls in the entire wall is also very appropriate.

Variants of combinations

Combining wallpaper is possible using various methods.

A color scheme

The interior is extremely important right color combinations. When there are many elements of different shades, it becomes harder and harder to combine all the accessories in one room. Combining wallpaper involves a combination of several different colors and even different patterns. For beginners in this business, manufacturers offer to use wallpaper companions. In this case, with a choice of colors you will definitely not lose.

For those who want to try their design skills, there are many tips and tricks.

A simple way is to combine wall-paper with a pattern and monophonic. For example, a pure white partner will be suitable for wallpaper with large peach roses, pink or lilac peonies. This combination is very gentle and soft.

Beige will work well with peach prints, and the same color for pink and lilac prints, but a few shades lighter.

Beige wallpapers also look good with other colors. For example, with brown, pistachio, yellow, and in the interior, made in a marine style, beige, turquoise or blue are excellent neighbors on the wall.

Combinations of orange and green or orange and light green wallpapers look bright and positive. Orange lovers can create stricter ensembles with gray, chocolate or dark purple companions. Oriental blue and orange color ensembles look.

Dark red or burgundy with rich blue color create a very bold, but truly stylish design. This combination is suitable for large light-filled spaces.

Light wallpaper with monograms - an element of moderate interiors, suitable for decoration in classic style.

Modern layouts of colored wallpapers are replete with options with stripes. You can make striped canvases with monotonous partners, with canvases with an ornament or with photo wallpapers. An alternative to horizontal and vertical stripes is transverse and longitudinal waves.

Selection by material

The correct combination of two types of materials among themselves in the same room will be possible only if the canvases with identical properties. They must be equally pulled, in the process of shrinkage behave like. So it will be possible to avoid divergence of seams. In the interior, where the joint is not decorated with anything, it is better to purchase ready-made double wallpaper companions.

Wall mural is usually paper and thin. The companion to them is glued with overlap, sometimes the joint is decorated with molding.

Fabric and vinyl wallpapers have an advantage in combination - they are made on paper (non-stretching) or non-woven (stretching) basis. Depending on it, they can be well combined with any other companions.

Cork wallpapers are gaining popularity. In combination options, they are quite capricious, do not tolerate being on one wall of cloths from other materials, as they are rather thick in themselves. But they can beat the inside of an architectural niche or one wall of a room entirely.

How to combine invoices?

Factory wallpaper partners for walls, as a rule, have the same texture.When self-selection of a companion, you must adhere to the same rule. The relief must either completely coincide or be similar. However, a combination of a very embossed and textured canvas with a completely smooth wallpaper will look very stylish and modern.

What else to consider?

Combined wallpaper complicates the design of the room, so the choice of furniture and accessories, finishing materials must correspond to the idea, otherwise the room will become cluttered, inharmonious.

Strong attention to themselves is delayed by the curtains. Best of all, if they are neutral white, or one tone with wallpaper. If the canvases on the walls without a pattern, then the curtains can contain any print, if one of the partners has an ornament or image, for example, colors, then the curtains can repeat the pattern or be monotonous.

The floor, regardless of whether it is linoleum, parquet or laminate, usually does not have a strong effect on the harmony in the interior, however, if the coating is not a natural color or artistic look, the combination of wallpaper should be neutral, without strong accents, so as not to overload the interior.

In classic interior design, partners often come not with two types of wallpaper, but with wallpaper and wood panels. This combination is appropriate for horizontal combination. In this case, the doors and panels are made of identical wood, with the same texture, the same color.

The alliance with the wallpaper often enter the elements of the facing stone or painted walls of paint. In the first embodiment, the junction of different materials may look carelessly, so it is better to choose a method of combining materials with an emphasis on one wall, where the entire wall will be lined with stone, and the rest are covered with wallpaper.

Ideas for rooms

The apartment with the most frequent use of the method of combining wallpaper is the studio. Planning implies a combination of a living room and a kitchen, which they ask to visually separate them. In the studio apartment is better to choose the options with a vertical combination with the effect of zoning.

Fashionable combinations of combination in a rectangular room are endless.Among them you can find a combination of zones with the lengthening of the bright insert on the ceiling. Such a reception will make the room more square. The horizontal way will help to expand the space.

A country house is an opportunity to embody different ways of combining on one territory. Unusually, you can arrange different wallpapers in the attic. Due to the special architecture of the ceiling in such a room, the combination of wallpaper moves to another level, however, the general rules remain the same.
