One of the most interesting design solutions that are used to create a bedroom interior is combination of two types of wallpaper. Correctly using different combinations, you can make the room very cozy and at the same time unusual and boring. In the bedroom, the interior with two types of wallpaper is perceived in a completely new way due to the visual transformation of the space. With this technique, you can radically change the appearance of the room, using only finishing material and without resorting to redevelopment.
Reasons for combining several types of wallpaper in the bedroom
Consider what application tasks can be solved by using a combination of two types of wallpaper in a bedroom.
Dividing a room into zones
The bedroom in the apartment is not always exclusively a place to sleep. This room can combine the functions of an office, a dressing room, a relaxation room and a children's play area. Room division on separate functional areas using partitions - too radical a solution, especially for small rooms. This problem can be solved in a simpler and more affordable way by pasting different parts of the room with different wallpapers.
Visual expansion or contraction of space
Often in apartments, the bedroom has a very modest size and looks cramped. This visual effect is exacerbated by insufficient illumination of the room. You can make a room visually more spacious with the help of a competent combination of two or three types of wallpaper.
Sometimes a rather large room is allocated for the bedroom, which, due to its size, makes it difficult to create a cozy and comfortable environment for sleeping. Combining materials with different patterns and colors will make the room more compact in appearance and help bring the desired coziness.
Wallpaper can be glued not only on the walls, but also on the ceiling, and with their help you can beat the height of the room. To visually raise the ceiling, you need to move the border of the planes, when pasting the walls with wallpaper by 15–20 cm, stepping onto the ceiling. If you need the opposite effect, you can paste over the ceiling with a similar spacing on the walls or apply a horizontal combination of two types of material, the junction of which will be located at a height of about half a meter from the border of the walls and ceiling.
Creating an atmosphere
The right atmosphere in the bedroom contributes to a good rest and good mood after waking up. Experts believe that bedroom wallpaper design involves the use of calm, warm tones. Too expressive drawing, excessively bright or gloomy color will irritate or, conversely, depress the psyche.
But what if you want variety, and the bedroom, decorated according to all the rules, brings boredom? In this case, you can save the day by using two types of wallpaper. Those walls that you can see while lying on the bed, decorate with low-key wallpaper that will promote relaxation. And you can add a touch of variety by choosing a different, eye-catching type of material for the wall at the head of the bed.
Hiding layout flaws and rough finishes
One of the most unfortunate room configurations in terms of perception is an elongated room. If you decorate the short side of the room with a finishing material of a darker shade, you can achieve a visual shortening of the bedroom. At the same time, the light colors of the remaining walls will help to expand it.
If you did not have the opportunity to fulfill the ideal alignment of walls and ceilings, you can try to hide all the flaws with the help of properly glued wallpaper.You can mask the flaws by combining two types of canvases of different colors; to divert attention from irregularities, you need to choose a material with a large pattern. You can correct the situation with uneven corners as follows: canvases of different colors are glued to adjacent surfaces with a joint on the wall, at a distance of 10-15 cm from the corner. The joint line must be strictly vertical and perfectly even.
Creating an accent in the interior
An interesting design technique that deserves attention is the selection of certain areas of the room or interior details with the help of finishing materials. Emphasizing completes the design of the room and allows you to divert attention from imperfections. The most common type of accent for a bedroom is highlighting a zone or the entire wall at the head of the bed with a material of a different color.
The choice of wallpaper for the bedroom
Due to the absence of the influence of negative factors, such as, for example, high humidity, any type of wallpaper material can be used in the bedroom. The following types of wallpapers are on the market today:
Tip: to maintain a healthy indoor climate, it is advisable to avoid air- and vapor-tight vinyl wallpaper. They can be used in a relatively small area of the room.
When it comes to using two or more types of wallpaper material, you need to keep in mind that not all of them are well combined with each other. Wallpaper can have a different service life, as well as different roll widths and web thicknesses, which can create certain difficulties when gluing.
- It's great if you can combine wallpaper of the same type with each other. You can pay attention to ready-made collections for combining, which are offered by some manufacturers.
- Paper, non-woven and vinyl materials are well combined with each other. The main difficulty is the masking of the joints. Moldings and borders are not always appropriate, so it is better to place canvases of different types on different walls, since the joints in the corners are not so noticeable.
- Textile wallpaper is not recommended to be combined with another type of material. It can be very difficult to choose the right material for gluing on a paper or non-woven basis, which will be combined with textiles in style, shade and texture.
- Wall murals are great for combining, as they are created specifically for this purpose. Thanks to the variety of images, they can be used to embody a variety of ideas.
- Glass or liquid wallpaper will help to avoid difficulties in the process of combining joints.
Ways to combine several types of wallpaper
To implement the idea, you need to choose two types of finishing material.
- Basic wallpapers - set the tone for the whole room, serve as a background. Most often, plain canvases with a textured pattern are used as the base finishing material.
- Main wallpapers - play a key role in the design, despite the fact that they can occupy a relatively small area of \u200b\u200bthe wall. For these purposes, material with a large, expressive pattern is suitable, which will harmonize in color with the base wallpaper.
Sometimes it becomes necessary to select another, additional type of wallpaper that will help dilute the base color. They should have a texture similar to the base material, and their shade should be a few tones darker or lighter.
For the bedroom, the following design options are best suited.
- The main material that creates the accent is glued at the head of the bed, the rest of the walls are decorated with basic wallpaper.
- One type of wallpaper is involved in creating a working area, the second - draws up a recreation area.Zones may be different - it depends on your needs.
- Lighter basic wallpapers are located on the upper part of the walls, the main ones are glued to the lower part, playing the role of a border.
- Wallpaper material can be glued in alternating strips using vertical or horizontal combination.
- One type of wallpaper is glued to the walls, the other to the ceiling. You can use an interesting trick: the main type is glued to one wall and the ceiling, which looks like its continuation.
- Niches and ledges look spectacular, decorated with a material of brighter and more catchy colors.
Wallpaper combinations in the bedroom
