Wallpaper, as before, remains one of the most sought-after materials for wall decoration. But using this traditional material in a conservative way is completely optional. To make the room “play out” in a new way, you can use such an interesting design technique as combining wallpaper.
This technique is becoming more and more popular, as in modern life there is no place for oppressive monotony. The richness of sensations, changes, originality and freshness of thought - this is what a modern person strives for, including the improvement of his home. Combining wallpaper in the interior allows you to transform the appearance of rooms with minimal effort, completely change the perception of space, place accents, hide flaws, and create incredible visual effects.
Wallpaper Combination: Standard Techniques
A combination of plain wallpaper of similar shades
This option is suitable for a strict interior or for the case when the walls serve only as a background, and there is no need to focus on them. In this case, you need to choose a wallpaper of several shades, one of which will be more saturated. The best option is two shades, for example, plum and indigo, azure and aquamarine, emerald and veridian, sand and ivory.
Balancing a large pattern with plain wallpaper
Wallpaper with large elements looks very impressive, but if they are pasted around the perimeter of the room, they clutter it up and can have an overwhelming effect. A good solution would be to combine them with wallpaper of a harmoniously selected tone without a pattern.
Combining wallpapers with different patterns
A very interesting and bold combination, but at the same time the most complex, requiring impeccable taste and a sense of proportion. Designers recommend using no more than three different types of material.
Here are some win-win combinations that will help you consistently delight your guests:
- stripe + floral ornament;
- abstraction + stripes or geometric shapes;
- floral wallpaper + wood pattern.
The shape of the images can be different, the main thing is not to forget about the compatibility of colors, the shades of the patterns should overlap.
The combination of wallpaper of different colors
This technique also obeys certain rules:
- bright, active colors are best combined with discreet, neutral ones;
- contrasts look very impressive - black and white, yellow and blue;
- when choosing colors, you need to make sure that at least one of them is repeated in interior details, for example, in curtains, furniture, sofa cushions.
