Recommendations for choosing wallpaper in the hall

Repair is always a very important matter. But the most responsible - to make an attractive living room. The hall is the place where homeowners welcome guests. Here, much of the time is spent. That is why the selection of high-quality wallpaper for this room is a very important moment.

If the owners make a mistake with the choice of wallpaper in the living room, then they will be very uncomfortable in it. Why exactly wallpaper, the answer to this question is simple. Designers and builders are unanimous in the fact that other finishes are losing to wallpaper, as the coziest finish option. Thanks to them, whatever they may be, you can create a very comfortable living room, in which it will be nice to be. In addition, just among the wallpapers can be noted the largest variety of choices for interior design.

In the hardware store, you can purchase options for a classic style, hi-tech, and even wallpaper for the “village” hall. Recently, there is no particular style that is more popular than others. As a rule, several options are at the peak at the same time. For example, often customers of wallpaper shops are interested in classics.

Often, the apartment owners decide to self-glue the wallpaper, without invoking the master finishers. This is a good idea only if homeowners are able to cope with any type of material from which the wallpaper is made. And they are paper, and bamboo, and textile. Read more about the materials in the article below.

When there is a question about what time to do repairs in the hall, then first of all you need to decide on what material will be used for finishing. Living room - this is usually a little polluted room, so the index of marcos is not so important.

In general, for the decoration of the living room walls you can buy wallpaper from a variety of materials. Restrictions are set only on the basis of the repair budget. Among the huge variety, everyone will find what he needs both in appearance and cost. Manufacturers of this type of finishing materials take into account fashion trends and wallpaper technology.

Due to technological progress in the market of building materials, more and more unusual wallpapers are appearing, which are gradually gaining popularity. But it is important to consider more familiar materials before the repair begins in the living room.So, rolled finishing materials are:

This is the most common type of wallpaper. It is the cheapest. Paper canvases are very easy to glue, but they have their drawbacks. So, for example, they need to be protected from water and general humidity, as well as from the sun's rays, because with time the finish may lose color and the pattern on them will not be visible.

This variant of coverage has the longest history of development. The origin of paper wallpaper is China. From East Asian countries, they fell into European countries only in the 18th century. Since that time, wallpapers have become very popular, and now it is not easy to find at least one apartment in which such materials would never be used for decoration.

Such materials are made not only smooth, but also structural. As a rule, all of them can be divided into two conditional categories: in two layers (duplex) and in one layer (simplex). The first option has, as a rule, a protective coating, which is created in order to protect from the effects of the environment.Nowadays, two-layer paper models are very popular. In any case, this coating for the surface of the walls will regularly serve the owner for at least five years after they are hung.

The main indisputable advantage of these finishing materials from paper, experts call their ecological purity. The paper does not provoke allergic reactions, easily passes the air, it will not give a chance to develop fungi. An important advantage of this product is a relatively low price.

It should be said about the defects that are present in such coatings. Paper is not considered a waterproof material, as a result, wallpaper made from it is not designed for use in rooms with a high level of humidity. They are rarely found in the hallway or in the kitchen.

This is also a paper version of the coating, but it has a high level of resistance to damage, which is important in those apartments where there are children or pets.In general, this material looks prettier than ordinary paper wallpapers. They are more dense, therefore they require special glue.

In stores building materials, as a rule, there are two types of similar coatings. If we talk about the first, then the finishing base for the walls, consisting of non-woven, is durable and looks great. Wallpapers related to the second type are similar to the first, but have only a non-woven base, the wallpaper wallpaper itself is created from vinyl. To understand what could be the properties of such a coating, it is necessary to figure out what kind of material.

So, it is a fiber made of cellulosic material combined with glue with a special polymer composition, which is similar in quality to paper. The difference is that non-woven fiber is stronger and has stronger refractory properties. From this material are wallpaper, which are made for painting. The paint will repeat the texture that the canvas possesses. This combination looks amazing.

Non-woven wallpapers have excellent characteristics. They are made on a thick base, which means that by sticking them on the walls, you can close some flaws, get rid of cracks and bumps. Such models hardly ignite, it perfectly characterizes them as safe in case of fires and fires. They do not interfere with air circulation, therefore there will be no fungus on the surface.

Thanks to this material, wall decoration will be a piece of the apartment. Most often used if the room is designed in a classic style. The main disadvantage is a very high level of marquess. The only way to remove contamination is to stick a new canvas. And this, as a rule, does not happen soon and requires new financial investments. Yes, and the finishing material from textiles is not cheap.

These wallpapers are based on paper on which nylon fibers are applied. They are suitable for almost any room, but in the living room will be the most spectacular. The process of sticking them quite labor-intensive. Glue should be rubbed with smooth movements with a cloth, iron the joints with a brush.

One of the main qualities of wallpaper from velor - noise insulation properties. The surface treated with such material is poured like velvet. The material does not fade from sunlight, no matter how much it is used.

But they also have negative properties. Pile collects a huge amount of dust. Villi absorb more and odors, and not just polluted, but you need to clean it only with a dry method. In case there is a speck, it will not work so easy to remove. And, as mentioned above, these wallpaper canvases to fix on the wall is quite difficult.

Along with non-woven, they are ahead of paper ones, since they are also moisture resistant. Most often they are glued in the hallway or in the kitchen, since this is where a high level of moisture resistance is needed. But for the living room, they are not bad, because a large number of options, colors, patterns are offered.

Finishing vinyl coating has the ability to be in excellent condition for quite a long time - up to twenty years. It is important to clean it with a damp cloth. The advantage is the widest range of colors, textures, ornaments. Wallpapers do not lose color in the sun and are resistant to damage. Vinyl is great not only for wall decoration in the living room and hallway, but also in the conditions of the kitchen, corridor.

Unfortunately, vinyl has some negative properties. Specialists noted the release of vapors dangerous for humans, for example, methanol. On the package with a roll, as a rule, it should be stated that the materials used in the creation are environmentally friendly and meet all requirements.

Another negative quality is that the layer with pores, which is located on top, began to be created relatively not so long ago. In case you buy wallpaper of long-term production, they will not let the air through, which means that moisture easily accumulates under them.This contributes to the appearance on the wall and on the wallpaper mold, including dangerous to human life.

Otherwise such wallpapers are called liquid wallpapers. They are based on fibers that are made from special cellulose, they are absolutely harmless. The naturalness of the components is especially appreciated by modern people who care about the environment. In addition to other ingredients in the composition of the wallpaper there is a binding mass having adhesive properties.

It is not necessary to plan in which direction the light falls into the room, since the liquid wallpaper has no seams. Apply a mass when it is ready, perhaps not only on the walls, but also on the ceiling surface. In the process of work, the support of another person will not be required, it is possible to cope with their application alone.

Another advantage, thanks to which buyers love liquid wallpaper, is that there is no need to prepare a plane for a long time, which is impossible to say about classic wallpaper.If there are insignificant irregularities on the walls, it is possible to get rid of them with the help of the applied mass. The result is a high-quality finish that is free from defects.

Reviews, undoubtedly, will help to understand what qualities this finishing material owns. For example, this is the ability of a material to pass air. Sometimes, customers believe that with a sticker without seams, the plane cannot breathe, which means that under it there is every chance of fungi and mold.

Reviews of a huge number of buyers point to the relatively expensive price of coverage as a disadvantage. But this is true only at the first impression. The waste of material in this case is practically impossible, as a result of repair work there is no waste. You can prepare exactly the amount of the mixture that you plan to use right now, which is impossible to say about the roll wallpaper.All these conditions make it necessary to recognize that the cost of such coverage is quite profitable.

This is a kind of paper and non-woven wallpaper, but with the difference that they are applied to the stunning beauty of photo printing. With a combination of photo wallpaper and the usual in the room, you can achieve a delightful effect. More information about combining them in the interior will be discussed below. But now the wallpaper can be mentioned as one of the varieties of material that is used in the repair of the hall or living room.

In fact, liquid wallpaper is something between a standard paper wallpaper and decorative plaster. The mixture is based on viscose and cellulose, which are considered raw materials for recycling. Fastening element for the composition is glue. In products of factory production, antifungal agents, as well as various kinds of plasticizers are added to the solution. As the main factory fillers, woodworking industry wastes in the form of cellulose fibers and cotton linen are used.

For the manufacture of expensive types of wallpaper used natural silk fibers. Additional decorative additives do not have technological significance. These include: wool threads, marble or quartz chips, mica spangles.

It seems that such a parameter as size is absolutely not important, but this is an erroneous opinion. Depending on what size roll, you can calculate how many rolls will be needed per room. Usually the dimensions are unchanged, but recently manufacturers have begun to produce options, the length of which can vary considerably. You can read about these nuances in the article below, but in the meantime it is worth considering such an important parameter as the width of the canvas.

The most common on store shelves are rolls of standard sizes. There are, of course, all sorts of unique options, in a single quantity - handmade. There are significantly fewer such ones; it makes no sense to dwell on their sizes, since each company in an individual case produces a roll of a certain width.

However, it is important to distinguish and mark two standard widths: half-meter and meter.

• Half meter - the most popular and well represented in the trading networks of Russia. They are made of various types, in large quantities, with texture and patterns. Their material is also the most diverse. They are convenient for transportation. The main disadvantage is found already in the process. Due to the fact that they are quite narrow, a large number of seams are formed on the wall.
• Meters - rarely used in household repairs because of their considerable width. Such wallpaper is more difficult to transport - the weight of one roll is much more than the previous version. But at the same time, finishing works with them are performed at a higher pace, there are significantly fewer seams on the walls, often the cost of a wide roll with similar properties is lower than that of a narrower one.

Now we should consider such a parameter as the length of the roll.

Before starting work, you need to figure out the size of the surface, which can be pasted over with a medium-sized roll.In Russia, such a length of a roll that is equal to 10.5 meters is considered ideal, otherwise 10 meters and 5 centimeters with an error in various directions usually take plus or minus three percent more.

Approximately in a roll of 53 centimeters in width - 5.3 square meters, 106 centimeters in width - 10.6 square meters.

Not all designs involve floor to ceiling pasting. It so happens that you need to leave a strip on top or bottom, where there will be either another type of wallpaper, or a completely different material, for example, an artificial facing stone.

When used in the work of wallpaper with rapport (so different are the ways of pasting, when the pattern is shifted) - two or three rolls will come out, but it all depends on what height of the walls to be trimmed.

Produce and extraordinary length. In this case, the rolls are 15, 20, 25 and 50 meters. Usually this is typical of materials for painting, the width of which is 106 centimeters, for example, "fintex" and similar products.

If there is a pattern, then there can be significant "waste" or it will be necessary to glue the sheets with their own hands, leaving a large seam allowance from below. Because of the allowance, the edges of the fabrics near the floor or ceiling may become uneven, this happens when trimming.

By the way, the bumpers are made of the same material as the wallpaper, and sold with them in the same collection. Otherwise, in order to properly choose the side to the selected wallpaper, you need to carefully look at the number of the selected wallpaper and compare it with the number of the side. By just one color, by eye, to determine whether the rim fits the wallpaper is practically impossible.

The hue of the walls is of paramount importance in the perception of the design of the entire room, so it is only natural that sometimes a few times more time is spent on the selection of wallpaper, which is ideal for pasting the walls. Often, buyers spend a lot of time, effort and money to buy a roll, as it seems to them, ideal wallpapers, but as a result they realize that they did not buy what they needed.

Modern building materials market offers any colors and colors of wallpaper: light, dark, lilac, white, under brick, blue, violet, beige, yellow tones, monophonic, peach, gold, pink. The choice of finishing material for the walls is limited only by the purse and imagination of the buyer, so it’s more difficult to decide on the desired color for decoration. Many buyers want to make wallpaper turned the room into a spacious, cozy and stylish room.

Of course, you can ask for the help of specialists, they will be able to choose the shade of the wallpaper in the room, but no one guarantees that they will be able to predict the desire or preference of their customer. Therefore, the most reliable way to choose the right color for the walls is a personal study of all the tricks of creating a color composition in a room.

It is important to remember that much depends on the characteristics of the premises that are planned to be issued.

You need to follow many basic rules for the classic selection of colors:

• Feature location and number of window openings in the hall. The degree of natural light entering the room should determine the color and material of the wallpaper. In rooms with windows that face the north side, there is always a feeling that they are colder than they actually are. In such rooms there will be a lack of lighting, if you make a mistake with the choice of color. Therefore, it is better to choose the warm colors of the walls: peach, beige, pink.

• The size and layout of the rooms also influence the choice of wall color. Even the most spacious interiors are not always perceived comfortably, and small rooms with the wrong choice of wallpaper can form a feeling of tightness. That is why it is fundamentally important to take into account all the characteristics of the rooms, if you plan to make a design using different colors.

• The quality of the colors used in the design. This is the reason that has a direct impact on the "vitality" of the selected coatings. The better the paint, the longer it will last on the walls.Therefore, you need to use wallpaper options with paints that are resistant to sunlight.
• Individual features of the interiors. Part of the directions in the interior requires the use of a small number of colors, because not always the random selection of colors for the primary color in a particular room can serve as a guarantee of harmonious style.

• It is better to use and repeat the already used shades in the room. For example, an important place is occupied by shades, in which the furniture, accessories, floor and textile elements in the interior are painted: in no case should contradictory or excessively contrasting shades be allowed.

• Selecting a shade of finishing for walls, it is necessary to take into account other parameters. For example, an excessively bright color can contribute to the fact that emotional excitement occurs, and this does not always suit some room interiors, for example, a bedroom. In this case, the faded shade can be perceived well only in sunny weather.
• You need to listen to the recommendations of experts. When there is no certainty that the ready-made models of wallpaper fabrics are well suited to the interior, designers advise to buy wallpapers intended for painting.

• If a room is used at once for several tasks, as it happens with living rooms, then it is better to choose pale or neutral color. It is necessary to take into account some of the characteristics of color, which are discussed in the article below.
• As noted earlier, light shades reflect sunlight, so they can turn a room into a much lighter and more pleasant space to stay in it. They visually increase the size of the room, personify cheerfulness and cleanliness.

• Dark wallpaper the design is designed to create the opposite effects: stop the movement of light, turn the room into a dark and dark, reduce space and exert psychological pressure on the subconscious.

• Feng shui is often used as a technique for the perfect selection of wall color.It implies a strict adherence to ancient traditions. Feng shui experts say that the use of yellow and green is optimal in the nursery, pink and burgundy in the bedroom, white, black and red in the kitchen. But in the hall is better to take white or beige tones.

• For those who can not choose only one color, there are other options. Multicolored wallpapers are becoming more and more popular, harmoniously combining in themselves and light and black colors (as a composition or pattern). Classic black and white wallpapers are gaining popularity again, allowing you to add to the design of the room a contrast that sometimes is lacking in modern apartments.

• The sign of energy and aspiration to the goal is Violet shade on the walls. They can be used in the advanced interiors of the living room or kitchen. In the bedroom they will also look good.Lilac shades, on the contrary, have relaxing properties and do not make the design too dark.

• Greenish wallpaper carry the beauty of natural nature. They are ideal for reproducing natural motifs and are suitable for almost any modern design, because they blend well with all colors.

• Blue wallpapers - the sign is gentle, deep. It symbolizes movement, energy, sea freshness. Color activates the awakening of fantasy, has soothing properties, despite the energy potential hidden in it.

• Reddish and bright orange colors of wall coverings are in catchy colors. If you use them in the interior in excess, it is fraught with over-excitement of those who are in the room.

• Make space easy, spacious, homely, gentle help pink wallpaper coverings for walls. At the same time, this paint has long been not only ladies. The combination of the composition with other colors can provide an elegant and modern wall decor.

• Blue wallpaper - an excellent option for those who prefer creativity and are not afraid to use rich shades. It gives the room an additional effect of freshness and lightness. Suitable for living room and some areas of the kitchen, bedroom and children's room. Often used for male adolescents.

• Universal is considered to be gray tint: almost the whole palette of colors and styles fits to it, and in the interior it does not exert the strongest mental pressure, unlike, for example, bright colors. In addition, it looks quite aesthetically pleasing if there is a lot of natural sunlight in the room. Do not be afraid to use it, referring to its gloom and fading.

To ensure the completeness of the design, do not dwell on the same color palette.The main feature of any interior will be high-quality and well-chosen combination of several colors.

Attention should be paid to the fact that not all types of drawings fit equally well into the interior. You should take this into account when planning.

Experts identify the following types of decor:

• Flat and convex.
• Matte and glossy.
• With 3D effect.

The difference lies in the method of application and the tools used.

Depending on the composition of the coating design may be:

• Silk. Silk fibers create a specific pattern and give the material strength, resistance to abrasion and fading. The coating is pleasant to the touch.
• Paper Such wallpapers are less reliable compared to the first, but easily restored.

• Cottonhaving the lowest degree of abrasion resistance.
• Mixed. This type of material has unique decorative properties that depend on the type of additives.

• Liquid wallpaper can equip any interior.A unique advantage is the absence of joints, which allows you to create seamless canvas.
• In the hall, fantasy is almost unlimited. Here bright bright color scale will suit perfectly.
• Fashionable trend in the style of loft can also be done by applying liquid wallpaper "under the brick."

• The walls will look great if they are decorated with vegetation. Plants do not have to be full size, you can make giant flowers or small spruce.
• Parts of the lounge are recommended to be decorated in soothing colors. For this you can use landscapes, geometric or floral patterns. Experts do not recommend overloading such zones with pictures.
• If the design of the room allows, it is possible to reproduce a stylish panel on the central wall.

They can be created independently, but it is easier to purchase in a hardware store.

The process of making a stencil with your own hands is simple:

• The image is transferred to paper using a printer, and then transferred to cardboard.
• If the drawing is large enough, it should be divided into several parts. Print items, and then get a cardboard stencil, combining all the details into one and outlining them.
• A lighter option is to use the services of the copy room, where you can print large drawings.

In addition to large stencils, you can use small contours. For this image you need to cut and paste into the holder. Using a flashlight in the dim room creates a projection. The light source must be behind the stencil. By adjusting the distance between them, they achieve pictures of the right size. The resulting shadow should circle a pencil.

The decorating process consists of two stages. The first one applies the first preparatory layer of liquid wallpaper. After it is completely dry, you can work on the picture. The stencil is attached to the surface with masking tape. The mixture fills the space inside it. If at this stage to finish the finish, the picture will be slightly convex. To achieve uniformity, a second background layer is applied to the wall behind the stencil.

The method is more time consuming. And the more colors and textures, the longer the execution time of the figure.

The procedure is as follows:

• A simple pencil on the wall is applied to a sketch of the future drawing with notes about the color scheme of each section.
• Is preparing the mixture.
• Part of the composition is painted in the main shade and applied with a spatula within the boundaries.
• As the main part of the drawing dries, other parts of the mixture are tinted.
• Next, the wallpaper is applied to those parts of the sketch that are not in contact with each other.

• With a spatula and a construction knife, the pattern is edged.
• Before the next step, the material should dry out.
• After that, you can begin to fill in other parts of the composition and adjust those places where the wallpaper is uneven.
• Different strokes and contours are drawn with special markers or wax pencils.
• The final stage is drying for 1-2 days.

Technique for drawing a picture with liquid wallpaper, see the following video.

Hall and living room - a suitable place to conduct an experiment with colors and shades. It is here that it will be successful to use both light and dark shades, since the design of this room is intended for everyday relaxation.At the same time, there is a need to create a certain solemnity, since it is in this room that guests are most often received. The design should be suitable for creating family comfort and home warmth.

As mentioned above, the light color will make the room softer for visual perception. A peach color is possible here, causing a strong association with nature, which comes to life in the spring after hibernation, yellow. You can pay attention to the pattern on the wallpaper, where they will be used pink, blue, beige flowers.

If the choice is dim, you need to remember that in the hall is often used olive shade: if the design is correct, then it will be possible to emphasize the effects of the aged room. This effect of an artificially aged aged wall is becoming increasingly popular.

Want to use bright and contrasting colors in the room? Such wallpaper with a pattern is ideal for using the insert: they can be placed in the so-called niches, placed on the free wall as a decorative panel. They can allocate a separate part of the room, thereby creating zoning of the room.

A similar effect can be achieved using a dark shade, but they, according to the designers' advice, need to be combined with more caution than just bright colors. Dark - it is always a very strong accent, so you need to carefully choose the area that will be darker. It should be a perfectly smooth, beautiful wall that you really want to highlight and emphasize. It is important not to overdo it and not to turn the accent into the main color of the room. It is necessary to observe the balance of dark and light color in the interior.

If you apply colors and patterns that are associated with spring to decorate the living room, and these are warm colors: green, yellowish, orange, pinkish, peach color - then the room will be cozy and positive. True, they have a peculiarity - to create a good appetite, so often these shades are used to finish the kitchen.

Light colors with different images are perfect for the corridor. Yes, walls can get dirty faster, but thanks to a bright shade any room will become much larger from a visual point of view. It is just necessary for small hallways or small living rooms.

Creating an accent with wallpaper is pretty good. It is done this way: the three walls are made similar, of the same color, texture, and the last fourth is deliberately decorated with some noticeable stain. In the role of the highlighter they can play wallpapers of a different color scheme or colors that have a different texture or pattern, or those that have a pattern, and on the other three there is no pattern. The last option includes, for example, wallpaper. Probably the option of combining wallpaper with some other finishing material.

For almost all design styles, it is permissible to decorate surfaces with wallpaper.Armed with fantasy, you can create bright interiors with their help, focus on individual architectural elements, reproduce silk panels and abstract paintings. It is necessary to focus on the most common and popular styles of living rooms.

A modern citizen works with perseverance during the working day, therefore, once at home, he must be able to relax. The effect of relaxation is perfectly promoted wallpaper in the style of minimalism: white wallpaper on the walls, delicate or pastel colors.

Traditional design implies light colors, now some designers especially pay attention to the fact that incomplete wall decoration is acceptable. A good option for a living room in a traditional manner is, for example, textiles.

Traditional design is allowed to add wallpaper with the image of stucco, various murals or columns, it would be nice to use as an accent wallpaper with the design under the magnificent curtains. Traditional furnishings imply spectacularity, scale, must be combined with the walls according to the scale or the achromatic principle.

Recommended for similar design to take plain vinyl or reed wallpaper with a dim pattern. Will fit decorative plaster, called liquid wallpaper. Welcome cold painting on the walls. It is permissible to apply wallpaper with a small pattern throughout the living room area.

When choosing a wallpaper for this style, rich colors are used: scarlet, yellow, coffee with ocher color. The structure of the wallpaper for the living room must be heavy. The ornate complex ornaments and floral, lace patterns look great in the design of the hall. Often, accents are used, all kinds of inserts, which, as a rule, imply a selection using frames or moldings. You can glue wallpaper, depicting raw plaster.

Rococo - this is the direction that experts refer to the directions of the Baroque style. Its distinctive features are wealth, pomp and some playfulness in the design of the living room. Quite often you can see the rooms, decorated with wallpaper pastel tones: pinkish, bluish, greenish.

As a rule, textile wallpapers with fractional ornamentation, carved and stucco frames are used for wall decor. In order to make the coatings glued to the wall shine, before dyeing, use silk or glossy material. Excellent look in the interior of the wallpaper with the use of stucco white or gold.

It is recommended to smooth the transition between the wall and the ceiling using a graceful pattern (otherwise called a paduga), the fresco-style decorations look great. Feature of style in the frequent use of mirror planes, gold-plated furniture parts. Elegant rococo wallpaper for the hall is a great idea for those who love beauty.

If the owner of the premises wants to arrange it in the modern style, it is worth paying special attention to the color. Saturated colors organically fit into this design,but it is better to slightly muffle them with additional design, otherwise in bright light they will dazzle. It is important to select color and light at the same time. Walls with a pattern depicting, for example, an ornament on the skin of a leopard or other animal look quite bright. Modern also implies floral motifs on the wallpaper.

Here it is better to take paint of the finish so that it coincides as much as possible with the range of furniture (preferably aged). Traditional British design implies an almost unlimited number of monograms and ornaments.

Famous South-French design is a set of shades from a light pastel palette, it is usually devoid of ornaments. In the extreme case, this is a design that has a discreet geometry as a pattern or a floral motif. The variety of colors is permissible and sometimes even looks better, but at the same time they should not stand out too much - the emphasis is still on muted tones.

If we are talking about using only two colors, then, as a rule, designers use a combination of rich dark and snow-white. Two opposite colors are very well combined with each other. Sometimes the design can be implemented in such a way that both shades are connected not in a straight line, as is usually the case with wallpaper, but with complicated geometry at the joints. For example, at an angle or semicircle.

Many apartment owners are trying to choose the right models of wallpaper in the right colors. Someone needs to find something for a small room so that it looks bigger. Even for 18 square meters. m can select and layout of different types of wallpaper, which visually increase the look of the room. Transforming a room using only one wallpaper is not as difficult as it seems.

Interior designers know that when decorating an apartment with wallpaper, the perception of the interior decoration of a building can be significantly distorted. Fans should borrow some recommendations from them, they will undoubtedly help to hide some flaws that relate to visual, or real defects of the walls, ceiling and other planes.

For a living room with a low ceiling, the blinding brightness of the palette will be inappropriate. Here, by default, you should not pick up a bright finish - it will put pressure on the mind. You need to choose something more dull, bright, less saturated. If the ceilings are quite high, on the contrary, it is reasonable to add brightness. The size of the room will decrease slightly, but since it has high ceilings, there will be no “squeezing” effect.

It is important to use small accents. They allow you to feel the size of the room. Giant living rooms should be trimmed with plain coatings or paintings with large drawings, and for small rooms any monograms and small patterns will be the perfect option. Large flowers on the walls for a small room is not appropriate.

There is another way to visually enlarge the ceiling. Vertical stripes will certainly help. In this case, it is not necessary to strive to ensure that it is bright, but they must be visible from any distance. You can use large bands that will not be too contrasting.

It has long gone as the time when in all apartments the walls were plastered with the same type of wallpaper, which was made by one or at most three companies.The modern market of finishing materials provides an opportunity to choose from a huge range. Designers closely monitor all new items. They especially love Italian, French, German collections.

Unlike foreign, our wallpapers differ by low price. But this does not mean that there is no diversity of choice or poor quality materials. But, apparently due to stereotypes, domestic brands are not popular. Usually they are purchased by people with medium and low incomes. Russian manufacturers include the following companies - Palitra, Moscow Wallpaper Factory, Art, Saratov Wallpaper, Praktik. Quite good models are supplied by Russian manufacturers and factories of the CIS countries.

As a rule, wallpaper, which is produced in the CIS, is inexpensive and affordable. But not all factories can provide a large range.Koryukovskaya factory is the most popular producer of Ukrainian wallpapers. The following products of the Koryukovskaya Technical Paper Factory Slavic Wallpaper, Vinil (Lanita trademark), Versailles, Argo are delivered to Russia. “Beloboi”, “Gomeloboi”, “Dobrosenskaya Factory”, “Hero of Labor” (subsidiaries of the holding) are supplied from Belarus to our market. Now enterprises have one of the leading positions in the market of finishing materials in the CIS.

European brands are also widely represented in the shops of finishing materials throughout the country, manufacturers of Italy, Germany. France, Sweden, Belgium regularly supply large supplies of retailers. Finding the best European wallpapers is getting easier every year. Among the most popular manufacturers include: Marburg Wallcoverings, AS Creation, Sa Samance, Sa Sadeco, Eso, Arte and Om Exo.

Companies from Europe, as a rule, produce a large number of those materials that can be attributed to the elite. Usually they are on a thicker paper and fabric basis. Such coatings look very expensive on the wall, which is not far from the truth, as some models from European collections are much more expensive than those produced in Russia.Significantly cheaper are the options that are produced by the own capacities of European brands, but on the territory of our country. These include Rasch and Erismann.

Wallpapers have several advantages:

• Environmentally friendly, non-allergenic material. When covering walls with wallpaper from any materials no harmful odors are emitted.
• Due to its structure, the wallpaper provides additional noise and heat insulation.
• Natural components allow the walls to "breathe", which contributes to the comfortable climate of the room.
• Due to the antistatic qualities of the material, dust does not accumulate on the surface, which makes the air cleaner.
• Many wallpapers can be wiped with a damp cloth.
• The product does not absorb odors.
• The finish coating is fireproof.

• Hygroscopicity and breathability of the material will eliminate the greenhouse effect.
• Wallpaper resistant to fading.
• Repair is greatly simplified, since for most materials it is not necessary to additionally level the walls and repair the cracks.
