Finishing the bedroom with textiles brings sophistication and aristocratic gloss to the design, and impregnation with compositions that prevent fading and dust settling greatly simplifies the care of surfaces.
Vinyl wallpapers
Cloths, which are a layer of polyvinyl chloride applied to a paper or non-woven base. Differ:

Which drawing to choose
When choosing wallpaper with a pattern, you need to consider:
- room size;
- location relative to the cardinal points;
- natural light.
One of the most popular types of images on the wallpaper is a floral print, typical for interior design in oriental, English, Scandinavian, Provencal, rustic styles.
- In a spacious, well-lit bedroom, a large floral print on a light background looks great. For a small room, it is better to choose a medium-sized pattern, since excessively small details of the pattern, scattered in abundance on the walls, irritate the eyesight and get on the nerves.
- The vertical geometric pattern increases the height of the room, the horizontal one contributes to the visual expansion of the space. The vertical and horizontal stripes also change the geometry of the room.
- Large leaves, intertwining branches, leafy ornament soothe and promote quick falling asleep. Floral drawings have a beneficial effect on the psyche.
Wallpaper combination
Plain wallpaper in the bedroom goes well with similar canvases of a different color and patterned material. Wall decoration in shades of one primary color with accents on certain fragments is extremely popular. Consider the most common combination finish options.
Vertical arrangement
It performs the function of zoning and is characterized by the insertion of a strip of wallpaper with a floral print, ornament, pattern or plain.
- If the wall is decorated with wallpaper with a pattern, the insert should be plain, but of the same shade.
- With a one-color design of the wall, a strip with a pattern is inserted, strictly sustained in the colors of the base finish.
Horizontal combination
Here the same principle of zoning the room is performed, only the stripes are arranged horizontally.
inserts
In the vertical or horizontal direction, fragments of plain wallpaper or canvases with a pattern of a different shade are pasted.
It is important to adhere to the same principle as with a vertical or horizontal arrangement: an insert with a pattern is superimposed on a plain background, and without a pattern on a motley background.
Niche design
Pasting niches with lighter or darker wallpapers is an extremely effective technique. When placing a recess in the wall on the unlit side, light shades of the base color should be used, and dark ones on the sunny side.
- With a monophonic wall decoration, you can decorate a niche with plain canvases and wallpaper with a pattern.
- If canvases with patterns or floral prints were used as the basic design of the walls, the niche must be pasted over with only plain material.
Bedroom interior design is a complex and exciting process that requires attention and concentration. It is important not to overdo it with the shades, texture and texture of the wallpaper. It is advisable to limit yourself to one base color, do not use more than three shades and do not overload the room with unnecessary details.
