Interesting wall paper ideas. Non-standard options for wallpapering in different rooms

Any room decorated with two types of wallpaper looks more bold against the background of standard interiors, since diverse materials and shades give its surfaces dynamism and inner energy.

One of the many advantages of this method is the presence of several universal techniques that allow you to decorate any size, shape, and color scheme, emphasizing its features and best features. You will learn how to glue two types of wallpaper to create a positive effect now.

What wallpaper to choose?

So, you are interested in the idea of wallpapering the walls with two types of wallpaper, but you cannot decide which type of material to prefer? First of all, pay attention to the practical possibilities of wallpaper for walls. If in rooms such as or, almost all wallpapers will remain intact for a long time, then humid conditions or a bathroom can easily damage their structure, ruin paints and appearance.

Fortunately, today manufacturers are not limited to the production of one type of wallpaper, and the market range is overflowing with a variety of heavy-duty and resistant to external factors wallpaper coatings.

For combination are widely used:

- suitable for rooms with dry conditions in which it is planned to create a temporary design of persistent shades (living room,). Thanks to the possibility of purchasing multi-layer paper coverings, the use of wallpaper of this type for combination is possible even in areas with a high risk of mechanical damage. Combined with almost any type of wallpaper;

- have increased practical properties: they are not only strong enough, but also characterized by additional elasticity compared to other finishing materials. And thanks to the special protective properties, the threat of moisture in the bathroom, or even not terrible for materials of this type. The best option for combining with vinyl is paper wallpaper;

- most often used in areas with insufficiently prepared surface. Scratches, dents and other defects on the walls are ideally masked with an elastic interlining. And the relief texture of some types of such wallpapers helps to emphasize the individualism of the design. Due to the possibility of permanent non-woven wallpaper perfectly combined with paper and vinyl coatings of absolutely any shades;

- are among the most effective and expensive. Most products of this type are not characterized by moisture resistance, which means that textiles are best used for decoration or. Soft and pleasant to the touch texture allows you to combine such wallpaper with paper and non-woven;

, which are an analogue of decorative plaster - they can be used almost everywhere. But do not forget that the ingress of moisture will provoke additional difficulties in cleaning the walls from such materials. Due to the relief texture, stylish combinations of liquid wallpaper with non-woven and non-woven wallpaper are possible.

Advice: with this combination, try to use wallpapers with similar shades and shades, since the different nature of the materials will already create an accent on the wall.

You can choose the width and dimensions of the wallpaper strips yourself. In addition, no one forbids combining wallpapers not through one, but with greater frequency. But remember that a large number of alternating materials will create a visual imbalance in the interior of your room.

Some ways of sticking wallpaper of two types allow you to highlight the main wall in the room. For example, to create such an accent, you can decorate the entire surface of the wall with a different type of wallpaper.

If there are niches and ledges in your room, using a bright shade or a more pronounced relief, you can focus on features such structures. For example, such niches will be a great addition to the bedside area, and in the living room - in the fireplace or TV area.

The original idea of sticking wallpaper of two types, typical for old interiors, is creation of small picture inserts from bright or textured wallpapers framed by moldings. The shape of such inserts is chosen arbitrarily depending on the style of the room and the shape of the furniture.

Suitable patchwork combination, for which you can use . However, it is not always possible to create a harmonious composition, since it is very difficult to combine small fragments of wallpaper of different types on one wall. If you don't know two kinds using the patchwork technique, choose materials of delicate and most similar shades.

Practical issues of combined gluing

Having decided on the option of sticking two types of wallpaper and having prepared materials for such a finish, you can start planning the main stages of decorating your walls. First of all, keep in mind that different wallpapers suggest their own care and gluing features, and even glue of the same type will not always work for all selected rolls. For example, gluing paper, textile or vinyl wallpaper is carried out using different types of glue.

Another important issue when wallpapering two types of one surface is seam masking. If the same wallpaper of some varieties can be pasted without visible joints, then this problem cannot be avoided. Therefore, calculate the desired length in advance - and stock up on moldings, ribbons, slats or borders that are suitable in style.

Advice: some types of wallpaper can be glued on top of each other: with a slight approach to adjacent materials, the seams will be less noticeable, and as an added bonus, you can emphasize smooth transitions between shades.

About how, you can understand from the list of the main stages of such procedures:

puttying, cleaning and priming walls;
mixing glue and applying to wallpaper or walls (depending on the type of materials);
gluing the main wallpaper in the interior;
if necessary - trimming excess parts of the canvas;
gluing wallpaper of a different type next to the background or overlapping;
using camouflage devices (frames, frames, moldings, borders) or trimming materials to create the correct shape.

Thus, combining two types of wallpaper is fast, easy and interesting: in just a few steps, your interior will become no worse than the famous design masterpieces.

A comfortable, pleasant-looking and unusual room will become the main feature of your home, and you will certainly want to repeat interesting techniques in other living spaces.

In this part, I will directly talk about the technology of gluing combined non-woven vinyl wallpaper using a specific example. If someone has not read, then by combined I mean wallpapers from the same series, but in different colors. For a more detailed understanding of the process, I will give the names of different wallpaper rolls, as shown in the photo below:

The material of the article is quite voluminous, so if you are interested in specific points, then use the navigation menu:

1. Selection and preparation of glue

One of the most important aspects of the process of pasting walls with wallpaper is the choice of glue. Only high-quality glue will make the adhesion of the wallpaper to the wall surface the most reliable and will avoid problems in the future. At the moment, there are a huge number of types of wallpapers on the market that differ in their composition. For almost every type of wallpaper there is a specialized glue.

I used Quelyd glue, designed for glass and non-woven wallpaper. This glue is a white powder that must be diluted in water. If you decide to use this glue, then detailed instructions on the proportions are indicated on the package. Also on the packaging you can find information about the pasting area, which should have enough adhesive.

To prepare the glue, you will need a small plastic bucket with a volume of about 5 liters. It is necessary to fill the bucket with the calculated amount of water (see information on the package) corresponding to the amount of glue that you are going to use. Next, you need to start kneading the water with a brush, creating a small whirlpool and at the same time gently pour in the glue. The whole process must be carried out gradually, slowly, to avoid the formation of adhesive lumps. After preparing the glue, it must be allowed to brew for 15 minutes, then vigorously mix and get to work.

Important: do not dilute all the glue at once, prepare at least ¼ part, try it. Firstly, it will be possible to correct the consistency in the future, and secondly, you may simply not master all the glue, and it’s much more pleasant to work with fresh glue.

2. Where should you start wallpapering?

This question is asked by everyone who first encounters wallpapering. Previously, in Soviet times, paper wallpapers were used everywhere, which were glued with an overlap, it was required to start pasting the walls from the window, in which case the joints between the wallpapers in natural light were the least noticeable.

Now the vast majority of wallpaper is glued end-to-end. Therefore, the choice of the starting point for gluing should be based on the following considerations:

Convenience. For example, it is more convenient for me to glue wallpaper, moving from left to right, that is, joining and equaling the left edge of the strip;
Wallpaper consumption. Before starting pasting, it is necessary to figure out how to reduce consumption and rationally use wallpaper trimmings;
Individual characteristics. In the example given in this article, I start sticking from the corner of the room, since this is the only way to ensure an even and neat joint of the combined wallpaper;

3. Technology for gluing non-woven wallpaper

I would like to highlight the general points that will help to understand the principle of pasting walls with non-woven wallpaper:

Strips of wallpaper are cut depending on the height of the wall and the margin for fitting. For example, if the wallpaper is monotonous (without adjustment), then you need to take into account only the height of the wall and the margin for trimming near the ceiling and floor (no more than 10 cm), and if the wallpaper has a pattern that requires adjustment, then, accordingly, we need to take into account the height of the wall, and margin for fitting, and margin for trimming. The margin for fitting depends on the vertical step of the pattern;
If you are afraid that you may incorrectly calculate the length of the strip needed to fit, then cut the wallpaper in place. That is, you need to glue the first strip, then unfold the roll, join the pattern on the roll with the already glued strip, make a mark and cut off the wallpaper strip
Wallpaper glue applied to the wall with a roller on an area slightly larger than the width of the strip of wallpaper, it is more convenient to smear the corners with a brush;
Wallpaper strips are glued end to end. They begin to glue the wallpaper strip from top to bottom, leading a little to the ceiling, and at the same time align it either along the vertical line drawn (if this is the first strip on the wall), or along the edge of the already pasted wallpaper strip;
Then the wallpaper strip is smoothed out, it is necessary to expel air bubbles and excess glue. Movements must be made from the center of the strip to its edges. For smoothing, use a plastic spatula, a dry clean cloth or a wallpaper brush;
The glue that has come out of the joint of the wallpaper must be removed with a damp, clean cloth;
The joint of the wallpaper must be carefully ironed; for this, a special roller is used, but you can also confine yourself to a plastic spatula;
Excess wallpaper from above and below is cut off with a clerical knife on a metal spatula.

4. How to join wallpaper of different colors in the corner of a room?

This is one of the first questions that arises when pasting walls with wallpaper of different colors. We will try to analyze it in as much detail as possible.

The method of wallpaper docking discussed below is called "trimming" or "cutting" the wallpaper in the corner.

The essence of the method is that the wallpaper is glued with a slight overlap, then a cut is made along this overlap, respectively, immediately through two layers of wallpaper, the excess wallpaper is removed, and the joint is smoothed.

In my case, wallpapers of different colors are joined, so the border between the canvases should run strictly along the corner of the room, respectively, and the cut is made along the corner, but if strict separation of the wallpaper in the corner is not required, then it is better to make a cut on one of the walls, retreating a small distance from the corner (5-15 mm), so the joint will be smoother.

An example of docking wallpaper in the corner of a room:

Step 1. We need to draw two vertical lines on adjacent walls, this is done with a simple pencil. Since the width of the roll (in my case) is 53 cm, and the overlap needs to be done, about 5 cm, then it is necessary to step back from the corner of the wall about 48 cm, to one side and the other, and draw vertical lines using the building level or plumb line.

Step 2. Then we need to apply glue within these lines. We take a roller and a tray with glue and carefully apply glue to the wall, coat hard-to-reach places (corners) with a brush.

Step 3. We take a strip of patterned wallpaper and carefully glue it from top to bottom, smoothing out the bumps with a special plastic spatula, and you can also use a clean cloth or wallpaper brush.

In the photo below, we see that the wallpaper is pasted with an overlap on the adjacent wall within 5 cm:

Step 4. Excess wallpaper that goes to the floor or ceiling is cut off with a metal spatula.

Step 6. Carefully smooth the wallpaper in the corner:

1. It is very important that the knife is sharp, then the joint will be neat and even.

2. It is much more convenient to make a cut together: one holds a spatula, the other cuts.

Step 8. Removing cut strips of wallpaper:

In my case, the “patterned” wallpaper turned out to be under the “green”, so I bend the wallpaper a little (photo above) and pull out the cut off strip of the “patterned” wallpaper:

Step 9. The wall under the bent wallpaper must be smeared with glue using a brush, and then firmly press the wallpaper against the wall:

Step 10. We smooth the wallpaper at the junction with a plastic spatula. The joint of the wallpaper in the corner is ready:

If plain or striped wallpaper is used, then it is more correct to make the joint not in the very corner of the room, but on the wall, retreating 10-20 mm from the corner, so it is easier to make a neat cut and the seam will be even

5. Wallpapering around switches and sockets

If the socket and switch have not yet been installed, then steps 1 and 2 can be skipped:

De-energize the switch or socket, and then carefully remove it from the socket and disconnect the wire;
Hide the wire in the socket so that it does not interfere with pasting, having previously insulated it;
Stick a piece of wallpaper over the hole for the switch or outlet;
Take a clerical knife and make a circular cut along the contour of the hole;
Carefully smooth the wallpaper with a plastic trowel next to the hole.

6. Pasting the room with combined wallpaper. Main stages.

After arranging the joint in the corner, you yourself choose in which direction to move. I began to paste over the wall with "green" wallpaper. Having almost completely glued this wall, I left room only for the extreme strip, since it needs to be joined through the slot with the “white” wallpaper.

Then I returned to corner #1 and began to move towards the window, pasting the wall with “patterned” wallpaper:

Then, in corner No. 2, I joined the “patterned” wallpaper with the “white” ones using the same technology that was presented above, that is, through a slit. The docking process is shown in the photo:

I left the wall with the window for last, as it was necessary to replace the radiator and paint the heating riser. I switched to a long wall with “white” wallpaper (item No. 17 according to the diagram), again drew a vertical line along the level and began to paste over the wall from left to right.

In corner No. 4, I made a junction of “white” wallpapers with “green” ones (photo below):

Lastly, as mentioned above, I took up the wall with a window.

The main task when pasting this wall was to join the wallpaper through the cut above and below the window. The point is that due to the window opening, the height of the joint in this case will be minimal, and the joint located under the window can be hidden under the heating radiator. Therefore, the pasting scheme shows that the movement when pasting wallpaper is carried out from the corners to the center of the wall. Strips 33 and 35, as well as 30 and 32 are joined through the slot. The gluing process is clearly shown in the photo below:

The perception of the interior of the hall - the key room in the home, is largely determined by the type of wall decoration, so during the repair process, do not neglect the rules for choosing and combining wallpaper.

Many options for their combinations allow you to give the space an original look, make it cozy, comfortable and atmospheric, while spending a minimum amount of money.

Benefits of a design approach

The design of wallpapering in the hall of two types has many advantages. The wall covering looks expensive, interesting and rich. At the same time, combinations of patterns and textures help to perform some practical functions in interior decor. You can visually expand the boundaries of the room, place accents, make the zoning of space unobtrusive and soft.

The result at the same time looks impressive and stylish. It remains for a long time, helping the room not to lose its attractiveness and impeccable aesthetics over time.

It has this direction in interior design and other significant advantages:

Affordability

You can save on the involvement of professional decorators and do the work of combining wall coverings with your own hands.

Lots of options

Halls in conservative styles, living rooms in combined studio apartments, ultra-modern rooms will look harmonious and holistic with the proper choice of wallpaper for the walls.

The simplicity of gluing technology

Decorative plaster, tile mosaic, imitation of brickwork - all these ideas look spectacular in the design of the hall.

However, it is not so easy to implement them. It takes a long time to master the technology, hone your skills and delve into the nuances. Wallpaper can be glued faster. Works on combining this material are not intricate and involve minimal labor and time costs.

What wallpaper can be used in the work

Homeowners who believe that for a flawless result it is enough to visit the construction center and buy the first two rolls of wallpaper that catch the eye in the showroom are mistaken.

It is important to carefully choose a wall covering, guided by personal taste preferences, current financial capabilities, room layout features - the area, ceiling height, etc. matter.

Attention should also be paid to the composition of the wallpaper, their texture, the presence and type of pattern, shade. With a proper approach to the choice, it will be possible to decorate the walls at the highest level and all family members, guests of the house will enjoy a pleasant, comfortable and bright atmosphere in the renovated hall, which has retained freshness, comfort and beauty.

As for the types of wallpaper, you can rely on ordinary paper wall coverings, silk-screen printing, as well as vinyl, acrylic, textile, non-woven wallpaper, etc. They differ not only in density and specificity, but also in price. Therefore, consumers with different budgets will be able to find a suitable option for themselves and make a surprisingly elegant and elegant design of the walls in the hall.

Sticking technique

There are many methods that indicate how to paste two types of wallpaper in the hall, their photos can be found on the network upon request. Most often, the following techniques are used in the work of wall decorators:

Horizontal combination

In this method, there is a horizontal division of the walls using strips of wallpaper glued in a special way to the surface.

This technique allows you to "play" with the visual perception of space. It helps to expand the boundaries of the room, make it visually wider. Therefore, it is recommended to use it in living rooms with a small area, which are usually found in apartments and small cozy private houses.

The reception works best in rooms that have a simple geometric shape and are devoid of any design frills in the form of niches, figured suspended ceilings, arches, partitions for zoning. Sticking is done as follows: the wall is horizontally divided into two parts, selecting certain wallpapers for each segment.

The bottom is most often made dark, contrasting, and for the top they choose a paper canvas with an unobtrusive light shade. It can be both plain and printed - with patterns in the form of ornaments, oriental monograms, floral images, etc.

At the same time, horizontal stripes can have different widths, be used on one or more walls in the living room. It is believed that with an average ceiling height of 2.5-3 meters, the width of the wallpaper strip for the bottom should not exceed one and a half meters.

Variants of thin stripes are also acceptable, with a web width in the range from 100 to 120 centimeters. They look strict, concise and elegant in combination with the right canvas for the upper part of the walls in the hall.

Vertical stripes: an overview of this technique

By gluing wallpaper in two colors using this technique, the owners of a house or apartment will be able to solve the problem of low ceilings in their home. They will need to choose wallpaper that matches the overall interior design in terms of color palette and themes of patterns, and glue them beautifully with vertical stripes. This technique is universal.

It does not have strict requirements and restrictions, therefore it is used quite widely in individual construction.

The shape of the hall, its area and geometry can be any. At the same time, the following combinations will successfully play on the walls:

a combination of patterned and "empty" wallpapers of the same color (solid wallpaper will complement cute floral prints, strict geometric patterns, beautiful images of cities and nature);
contrasting colors, shades from juicy noble palettes;
a combination of shades of the same color scheme, differing in warmth and saturation.

The technique itself is implemented in several ways. Among them are the alternation of horizontal stripes of different wallpapers on the walls, pairwise gluing of harmoniously matched canvases, decorating one or two walls in the hall with selected wallpapers.

The choice of option is left to the property owners. They can come up with their own combinations, guided by personal taste preferences and visions of interior fashion.

The combination of wallpaper in the technique of "patchwork"

In addition to combining colors in design, decorators also use special techniques for gluing them. The patchwork technique, well known to needleworkers, is used by them when decorating the walls of the living room. She assumes that different wallpapers, or rather their cuts, will form a single panel on the wall after the sticker.

At the same time, it is important to achieve integrity and harmony in the perception of the “masterpiece” that has turned out on the wall. To do this, materials are carefully selected for shade, color and texture.

In the absence of experience with such equipment, you do not need to use a lot of wallpaper in your work. For a successful decoration of the walls of the hall, a combination of three types of canvases, connected together using the patchwork patchwork method, will be enough.

Alternative Techniques

In addition to the widely used techniques discussed in the previous section, alternative methods can be used in the design of the hall. Among them are appliances with inserts, which are suitable for large and small rooms with different sizes.

This method of wall decoration assumes that wallpapers of different colors will be pasted with inserts. For example, the wall in the hall will be plain, and a niche or an open storage system for books will be pasted over with a printed canvas. This solution looks great. It focuses attention on details, makes the perception of space correct and breathtaking.

You can simply place textured and bright inserts in the form of geometric shapes on plain walls - rectangles, circles, triangles, etc. The number of design options is almost endless, you just need to use your creativity and show your imagination.

You can also use the "insert" technique for zoning space, focusing on arches, decorating slopes on window sills and doorways. It is characterized by simplicity, versatility and efficiency of implementation, therefore it is popular with people involved in the performance of repair and construction work without the involvement of professional craftsmen.

Wallpapering options: an overview of current solutions in magazines and websites

Looking through photos in glossy interior design magazines, you can see for yourself the variety of ideas for combining wallpaper on the walls of the hall. Real estate owners can also draw inspiration from thematic sites that touch on the topic of home renovation, and then turn their favorite ideas from professional decorators into reality. Good ideas are found on forums where people share their successes in renovating halls and living rooms.

Knowing how to combine wallpaper in the hall of two types, and looking at photos with examples for inspiration in magazines, property owners will be able to repeat the ideas of professional designers in their home.

They will achieve excellent results if they pay attention to details. They will have to carefully mask the joints, competently combine textures, select prints and patterns with taste. However, all efforts will be rewarded by the presence of a unique atmosphere that will reign in the living room after the repair work is completed and the furniture is arranged.

When furnishing an apartment, special attention should first be paid to the walls. After all, they will create the basis of the interior, set the color scheme. Furniture and additional decorative elements are installed later and must be combined with the walls to make the rooms look cohesive.

Here we will not scatter over the entire apartment, but will focus on its largest room - the living room or hall. It is in this room that you bring guests, here you can relax after work, arrange a home theater or tea party.

You can immediately go to the store, look at various wallpaper options and choose the best one. But this option has several disadvantages:

your eyes will run wide with abundance, and since you don’t know exactly what you are looking for, it will be quite difficult to make a choice;
wallpaper selected in this way can be completely not meet your expectations after sticking, since the color on the roll and on the entire wall can look completely different.

Therefore, it is better to first understand a little about the combination of colors, correlate it with your preferences and choose the appropriate option, and only then go to choose something suitable in a hardware store.

If you did not find the ornament you need in the store, here is a master class!

How to choose wallpaper by color, by contrast, by pattern

First of all, you need to decide on the color scheme, and only then think about the presence of a pattern. Think about which shades you prefer: warm or cold.

Warm will make the room livelier and brighter.
Cold- they will help to visually expand the room (which is especially important for Khrushchev apartments, or other small spaces).

But in any case, you need to maintain a balance between warm and cold tones, otherwise the room may look too stuffy or very inhospitable.

If you have well lit, a sunny room, muffle it with a little cold tones, but if it is cloudy, add warmth to it.
Also, when choosing a color, keep in mind that you will see him every day. You can choose this blouse even light, even bright, and put it on according to your mood, and keep it in the closet the rest of the time. This will not work with wallpaper, so choose not just a color that you like, but one that will not bother you until the next repair.

If you decide that one color is not enough, then you can choose several, combined with each other.

You can combine related colors (from one or neighboring sectors of the color wheel), or contrasting (from diametrically opposite sectors).

TIP: If you decide to use wallpaper with a pattern - do not overdo it, the walls should not hurt the eyes. Particular care must be taken with drawing in a small apartment x (for example, Khrushchev), as it can visually reduce the room, especially for large bright patterns (large contrasting flowers and stuff like that).

related colors

If you're unsure of your design ability, matching colors (solid or similar) is the easiest way! You definitely can't go wrong, and such a solution will always look stylish.

Contrasting colors

This photo is a good example of a combination of contrasting colors. There is a not very noticeable pattern here, but plain wallpaper in this combination would look harmonious.

Ways to combine wallpaper

After getting acquainted with the main aspects of color combinations, you need to move from theory to practice and proceed directly to the choice of wallpaper. There are several ways to combine them:

Pattern + solid color
2 drawings
Geometry+ one color or pattern

Whichever one you choose, the main thing is to create a harmoniously combined, pleasant interior that will satisfy your preferences and make your home truly cozy. To understand the possible options, let's look at them in more detail.

pattern +solid color

With this combination, most often wallpaper with a pattern is applied only one wall, and the rest are just plain. This will help to make a certain accent, but will not look too colorful.

The drawing can be from related colors to plain wallpaper, and from contrasting.
A wall with a pronounced contrasting pattern will look like huge picture.

Below are selected interesting options for such a combination, you can choose one of them as a basis for creating a living room design.

A distinct floral print was used here. Please note that the furniture, rugs and pillows are selected exactly from the colors that make up the picture.

The pattern can be both small and large, abstract or concrete.

Also note that the walls with a bright pattern are not loaded with decor elements (paintings or photos), a maximum of a mirror and that should be very carefully selected. Maintain simplicity and harmony. An overloaded interior will be very tiring.

A good example of a combination of contrasting colors, because without the blue tulle, brown wallpaper would look too gloomy.

With geometric ornament

Geometric elements can compete with floral prints, patterns and abstract ornaments. But you must be sure that strict lines will not oppress you, and will allow you to calmly relax.

Zigzags, rhombuses, lines, ovals, circles, etc. - a wonderful choice for lovers of clarity and order. In this case, you can also try interesting color combinations.

2 drawings

Combinations of two drawings look original and unusual. For a bedroom, it would be too catchy, but for a living room, with the right selection, it’s very good.

In this photo, there is both a contrast of colors and a combination of a floral print and a geometric one. Cool black on the lines and warm red on the petals.

Here, too, combinations of floral ornaments with geometric ones, but already in the same color scheme - related colors were used.

One of the drawings can be expressed much brighter than the other, in which case it turns out to be similar to the drawing + plain wallpaper option. Similar ornaments, made in different colors, also complement each other well.

Combination methods

one wall

The easiest way to combine wallpapers. How to choose a wall? Of course, the one that you most want to attract attention. Usually this is a wall near or behind the sofas in the hall.

Painting or frame

If in the case of a wall completely pasted over with wallpaper with a pattern, it looks like a picture, then here the wallpaper is the picture. Such a huge canvas with a printed pattern.

You can simply stick wallpaper of a certain size, or make a frame around the edges.

In the form of stripes

An interesting way of combining is in the form of separate stripes. For this case, it is better to choose wallpapers that are contrasting with an active pattern, as this will be the main accent!

Niche focus

For apartments in which there is a niche in the hall, it is a great option to beat it with contrasting wallpaper and color. It is also not bad to highlight a niche with an additional source. This is especially important if the niche is far from the window.

Brief Summary

To summarize, let's recall the main points that you should pay attention to when choosing wallpaper:

Consider the size and lighting of the room
A color scheme
Personal preferences.

We hope that for you the process of choosing wallpaper will go smoothly and quickly, and the result will look amazing and delight every day, creating a real home comfort.

Two types of wallpaper on the wall is an excellent design solution that allows you to transform any room, visually dividing it into zones. Thanks to this method of pasting, you can mask the flaws of the room or emphasize its advantages. At the same time, wallpapers can have different colors, textures and patterns, and the future result of the work can be assessed in advance by rolling two rolls on the wall next to it.

Types of combined wall decoration with wallpaper

The combination of wallpaper of two types on the wall can be vertical, horizontal, inset and patchwork. The option of vertical division of the wallpaper is great, for example, for the living room. For him, they often select material that has different patterns and colors, but the same width, texture and, most importantly, thickness. Design solutions can use a contrasting option with different colors or monochrome, which involves pasting the walls with wallpaper that is similar in shade.

With horizontal division, you can combine wallpapers of different thicknesses. For example, make the lower part of the wall embossed, and paste over its top with lighter textile wallpaper. In such cases, the joint between wallpaper of different types is upholstered with a decorative border.

Wallpaper inserts are designed to emphasize a certain area in the room, for example, you can paste over a corner in a nursery with one color of wallpaper.

Patchwork wallpaper combination involves the use of the same background, but different patterns. Such pasting begins with shreds, and the main color is already adjusted to them.

The advantages of wall decoration with two types of wallpaper

Using the above-described types of wallpapering the walls with two types of wallpaper, you can get different effects of interior design.

Vertical stripes of wallpaper visually enlarge the room. If it has high ceilings, which is primarily characteristic of the private sector and Stalinka apartments, you can divide the walls with wallpaper in a horizontal direction so that the level of structures is not very conspicuous, especially with low furniture.

A visual increase in the space of the room can be achieved by pasting its corners with a darker material compared to the general background.

In addition, this design is quite economical. Often, many stores arrange a sale of leftover material at reduced prices. Therefore, the combined gluing process can reduce the final cost of the repair without sacrificing quality.

Choice of two types of wallpaper for wall decoration

Before buying wallpaper, you should make a calculation of their number and plan possible options for combining paintings on the walls. First of all, you should take into account the features of the room: whether it is cold or warm, large or small, light or dark. Using options for combining wallpaper for wall decoration, certain rules must be observed. They take into account the height of the ceilings, the lighting and dimensions of the room, as well as the texture of the material. Let's consider them in more detail.

Ceiling height

This room parameter affects the choice of wallpaper pattern, and also largely determines their color and texture. With a room height of less than 2.5 m, canvases of a soft texture and light colors are used. You can visually raise the ceilings by combining the main light background with a subtle pattern or texture and vertical stripes in the form of canvases of a different color, which can be located on two or three walls.

Ceilings over three meters high require a completely different approach. Here, the canvases should have a large pattern stretched across the width. You can apply the division of the walls in the horizontal direction, using different colors of wallpaper for pasting the lower and upper parts of the structures. This technique is considered a classic, so that such a design looks decent, you should try very hard when choosing patterns and shades of canvases.

Room dimensions

In rooms of large areas, wall pasting can be done with wallpaper that has dark shades, which visually reduce the space. If dark plain walls are undesirable, you can choose wallpaper with a large light pattern that has a floral theme, geometric shapes or abstraction.

In small rooms, the opposite is true: light colors are used. Wallpapers are selected with a medium-sized texture and not a pronounced small pattern.

The geometric shape of the room for pasting walls with wallpaper of two types is also of great importance. In a long and narrow room, lighter wallpapers should be pasted on short walls, and some of them should be turned around the corner. In this case, the difference in the size of the room will not be so noticeable.

There is another method used if the entrance to a narrow room is located in one of its long walls. In this case, the middle part of the opposite wall is highlighted with wallpaper of a different color, and the corners are pasted over with canvases intended for the short sides of the room.

Invoice selection

Combined wallpapering requires a careful approach to the selection of the thickness of the material and its texture. In combinations, it is recommended to use canvases of the same type. With their angular docking, you can not pay special attention to the texture and thickness of the wallpaper. But if the connection of the canvases occurs on a common wall, then the transition will be emphasized by the difference in their thickness.

If, nevertheless, a decision is made to glue wallpapers of different types, then for this you should use the glue that suits them. For example, non-woven wallpaper is glued on one composition, and paper - on another. The way out of this situation can be the purchase of universal glue, it is on sale.

Room lighting

If the room is bright or its interior seems too monotonous, it is not at all necessary to glue dark wallpapers on absolutely all the walls. One of them, located opposite the window, can be slightly darkened, and the rest left light. As a result, there will be no oppressive atmosphere created by a dark background, and the light will not become so intrusive.

This technique can also work in reverse. For a dark room, it is enough to stick light wallpaper on the wall opposite to the window. It will be much lighter.

The design style of the room must be chosen based on its functional purpose. Only after that you can select the colors of the wallpaper and decide on the method of decorating the walls with two types of wallpaper.

Combined canvases must be in harmony with the interior and furniture of the room. The selection of wallpapers for the best combination is recommended when buying them. For this canvas, you just need to attach to each other and determine their suitability for the intended wall design.

If any wallpaper in rolls is available at home and you need to pick up a pair for them, for example, for flaps or inserts, then a piece of the canvas should be taken with you to the store for a sample.

Wallpapers of the same texture, but different colors are most often combined with each other. Combinations of plain materials with a pattern from one collection are also popular. In addition, combinations of canvases that differ in texture and color are possible.

Options for pasting walls with wallpaper of two types

There are several techniques for combining wallpaper on the walls, which can be used both in its pure form and in all sorts of variations. Here it is important to have a good idea of the desired effect.

Vertical trim

Vertical stripes that visually increase the height of the room are not necessarily arranged in the correct order. One wall can have striped wallpaper, while the rest can be painted or have a subtle pattern. But such a decision is not always made. Vertical stripes can also be distributed over different walls, and they can be duplicated at a constant interval.

Stripes may vary in pattern and color. This combination requires the same wallpaper texture. In this case, it is most convenient to use one collection of products. It can have 2-3 plain backgrounds and various patterns. It is very difficult to arrange wallpapers of different textures.

There is an interesting technique of vertical combination that allows you to visually increase the height of the room: one of the strips goes up to the ceiling, the transition border becomes fuzzy, which gives a feeling of increasing space.

Horizontal wrapping

This technique is a design classic. It has been used for a long time, but with today's variety of textures and colors of wallpaper, it has acquired a completely new quality. Horizontal division is often used in small rooms with high ceilings.

It can be a horizontal strip encircling the room, which is often located at the height of the window sills. In addition, such a strip is carried out in cases where the plane needs to be divided into three parts, while the border can be located in the upper or lower third of the wall.

There are violations of this rule: sometimes the strip is performed at eye level and decorated with decorative elements. This technique is often used in the design of hallways and corridors.

The division zone may be upper. The lower part of the walls is traditionally decorated with dark tones, and the upper part is light.

Zoning of premises

Canvases of different colors, pasted on the walls of one room, can conditionally divide it into functional areas, for example, recreation and dining.

A similar principle applies in the children's room. Here, gluing walls with two types of wallpaper can serve when dividing the room into zones for games, a table or a bed.

With this combination of wallpaper, the use of canvases of different textures is allowed, but the separation of their sections by moldings is almost never used. They try to make docking in the corners of the room or select wallpaper in such a way that the joints are not particularly noticeable.

Wallpaper in the form of a panel

These types of wallpapers have been around for a very long time. Once upon a time, this material was made only from fabric, was framed, was insanely expensive and was available to rich people. From that time to the present day, this interior design has become a classic. For inserts, embossed, textured and silk-screened wallpapers are now used.

If the style of the room allows, wallpaper elements of a different color are placed in a frame made of molding. This performance fits well with the classics, country styles or Provence.

In the modern Art Nouveau style, a similar panel can also be made. The frame in this case is made of material cut from the wallpaper.

Another option is to paste over the wall in a niche. At the same time, the selection of texture and pattern is made according to the style, and the wallpaper is used from one collection.

The selection of wallpaper can be carried out by a professional decorator, using his experience or flair. It is much more difficult for amateurs to do this.

Highlighting wall sections with wallpaper

This technique uses the color accents of the material, it is applied according to two principles. One of them is designed to divert attention from an unsightly interior element, such as curved walls. So that such a defect does not catch the eye, the opposite wall is pasted over with canvases of a different color so that they immediately attract the eye.

Another technique involves highlighting the location of any piece of furniture. In bedrooms, this is usually the bed or the opposite wall. In kitchens, a table is often allocated, marking the eating area in this way. Partly this can be called zoning, partly - an accent.

Ordinary apartments do not have high ceilings, so the accent on their walls can be expressed by a vertically directed stripe. In a high room, accentuation can be done with a horizontal wide strip or some part of the wall.

Some rooms have niches or various protrusions of the walls, which the owners often try to disguise. But this should not be done. If such areas are highlighted with wallpaper of a completely different color, you can get an excellent design that will give the room a personality.
