Types of wallpaper and their characteristics | |
Paper | The option is simple and affordable (and for most, the most familiar). The advantages include the relatively low cost and ease of covering walls with them. The downside is that paper wallpaper is not suitable for all rooms (you need to choose them for those rooms where the load on them is minimal, and the likelihood of mechanical damage during accidental contact is low). Another important factor is humidity. If it is increased, this option should be abandoned. Otherwise, various types of troubles are likely (deformation, peeling, rapid wear). |
Acrylic | They can be called a more modern analogue of paper wallpaper. They have higher wear resistance and breathability, and they last longer. Other advantages include their affordable price. |
Vinyl | Wallpaper with a paper base and a vinyl top. They come in three types: silk-screen printing (with silk threads) compact vinyl (smooth) foamed vinyl (porous) Vinyl wallpaper is durable and moisture resistant. Very resistant to mechanical damage and fading. The disadvantages include what to stick vinyl wallpapers more difficult than, for example, paper ones. However, the problem can be easily solved if you entrust it to professionals. The price of these wallpapers is higher than that of paper, but it justifies itself. |

Among the variety of colors of non-woven wallpaper, you can find white ones intended for painting. By the way, they can be repainted up to ten times using emulsion or acrylic paint. The ability to paint yourself is a definite plus for those who approach the design of a room from the point of view of individuality. |

- The type of wallpaper should match the room. Since this article is about the hall (living room), the advice is this: choose textile, paper or non-woven wallpaper.
- Follow the style. If the general concept of room design is defined, follow it in everything, including in choosing wallpaper. The classic style requires certain colors and patterns, modern or high-tech - completely different.
- If you decide to combine different wallpapers, base your choice on one collection. This way there is less chance of “missing”.

Wallpaper for the hall: 7 ideas for implementation
Combining wallpaper in the living room
Different wallpapers that combine with each other are fashionable, stylish, extraordinary.
The popularity of this method of wall decoration is growing. This can be seen even in the collections offered by manufacturers. Many of them produce such combinations already in selected form, which greatly facilitates the choice of consumers. All that remains is to decide on the combination, purchase it and stick it on!
Having chosen a combination of wallpaper as an option for wall decoration, you should first make precise zoning and calculate the material consumption.
Decide where you plan to glue what wallpaper. Calculate how many of which type you will need. If there is not enough wallpaper, you will have to buy more, and this risks not matching the tone (if the batch turns out to be different).
There are several types of combinations. In general, most common cause Such a choice becomes necessary to zoning the room. Highlighted dinner Zone, for example, looks impressive and unusual in the living room. The space for a TV (home theater) is also usually zoned. Zoning especially “saves” if you have to combine a living room with a bedroom. In this case, you simply cannot do without a visual division into zones.
Types of wallpaper combinations:
- Vertical. Stripes running from floor to ceiling visually “raise” the ceiling (which is very important for rooms with low ceilings). A combination of two types of wallpaper that match each other in the main color is the key to a successful vertical combination.
- Horizontal. A good choice wall decoration if the goal is to visually expand the room. This combination looks great in elongated rooms, making them visually more square. It is also appropriate to use horizontal combinations in rooms with too high ceilings.
- Inserts. Fragments of wallpaper on walls covered with others are also an interesting option. Inserts are often decorated with decorative panels and baguettes. Inserts can be throughout the entire wall, separating a piece of furniture or a TV.
- Patchwork (flaps). Brave and pretty rare option combining wallpaper. If you want to implement the idea of patchwork on the walls of your room, it’s better not to experiment on your own (at least for the first time), but contact an experienced designer. This will help to avoid excessive variegation and “muddy”.
- Niches. A very simple option: niches are made from plasterboard (decorative or for shelves, TV), back wall which are covered with wallpaper that differs from the main ones.
Fantasies on the theme of stripes
The “striped” theme on the walls is always bright, expressive, and dynamic. As already mentioned in the section on combined wallpaper, stripes are often used to smooth out the shortcomings of a room (ceilings that are too high or low, the length of the room). However, even without the need to visually change the room, it’s worth taking a closer look at the striped wallpaper.
Wallpaper with stripes looks beautiful both “alone” and paired with a partner wallpaper. The success of the result lies in the right combinations.
Tips for choosing stripes with other motifs (patterns):
- Combine stripes of rich colors with plain surfaces. This will help avoid blurred boundaries.
- Do not use the strip on walls, floors, or ceilings at the same time. This will definitely overload the interior and will look intrusive.
- Choose other patterns for the strip: floral, geometric.
Closeness to nature
An interior with natural accents is a common choice for those who get tired of the city rhythm. For this purpose you can choose:
- Natural (for example, bamboo) wallpaper
- Wallpaper with a nature theme
An important condition is that wallpaper with a natural theme must correspond to the general aesthetics of the room.
Timeless classic
If we choose the wallpaper option in classic style, you should first think about the appropriateness of their choice. “Rich” ornate patterns will look strange next to inexpensive furniture. Classic style is a kind of claim to status.
If a classic style was initially intended, and the remaining components of the interior meet the requirements of the style, then the following rules must be followed in relation to wallpaper:
- Choose wallpaper in warm colors. Classic is a hint of solemn non-modernity; the walls should serve as a cozy background in the room.
- The most popular (and appropriate) colors for wallpaper in a classic style are white, beige, gold, shades of brown, and green.
Floral motifs
Flowers on the walls are kind of a classic. There are many options: these include pale floral patterns that serve as a background, and large bright flowers, playing the role of independent elements of the interior.
In general, floral themes are the most common. It integrates into many styles. Flowers can be found in styles such as classic, Provence, modern, minimalism, Japanese style.
Choose a floral theme if you want to give the room a touch of romance and do not want to be too strict in the interior.
Photo wallpapers and macro pictures
Two decades ago, photo wallpapers were very popular in our country. True, they did not differ in the variety of themes (they were mainly images of forests or the seashore). The scarcity of subjects played a role - quite quickly, photo wallpapers disappeared from the list of popular ones for many years. But at the moment the situation has changed. Photo wallpapers are again at the peak of popularity.
Modern photo wallpapers amaze with their realism. Especially if we are talking about the option when enlarged images (macro pictures) of people, plants, and natural objects are used.
In general, the topics can be very different. Urban themes are very popular (image of a city panorama, a city at night, a famous landmark). The theme of flowers in a macro version is one of the most popular (huge tulips or roses covering an entire wall are so unusual!). Reproductions are also not far behind - photo wallpapers depicting famous paintings.
Local color on the walls - how to make it stylish and not boring
Walls in one color are a tribute to certain styles (modern, loft, hi-tech, minimalism). If the interior is supposed to be strict and free from details, choose wallpaper in one color. As an option, paintable white vinyl wallpaper can be given any desired tone.
When choosing wallpaper in one color, without patterns, do not overdo it with laconicism. Modesty in color can be compensated by the interesting texture of the wallpaper.
Basic rules for wallpapering
If you decide to hang wallpaper yourself, then you should adhere to a few basic rules. This will help you avoid some mistakes and achieve a good result.
