How to combine wallpapers: 7 non-standard solutions for a standard room

Nowadays, designers are showing creativity and elegance in interior design. That's why I'm so interested in them newest ideas combinations of wallpaper in the interior. After all, it is precisely this type of finishing that can originally change the look of a room without significant financial, time and labor costs. Let's see together what combining wallpaper can do?

And the combination options are simply innumerable, which means they guarantee individuality and uniqueness of design. Also captivating is the opportunity to get fantastic decor and balance the geometry of any room.

Wallpaper manufacturers also use the rules of combination and produce such products in collections, more often as “duets”.

Wallpaper combination ideas

To begin with, I found out design possibilities such finishing. They combine colors and shades, ornaments and patterns, or different textures of the same tone.

Solution 1: Spectral Harmony

Interesting application different shades general color in increasing intensity. I note that in modern styles The use of gray and purple options is popular.

IN modern finishing are used various materials. All we have to do is choose wallpaper that matches wood or stone.

Here's what to combine brick wallpaper with: peach is beautiful with coral, and beige is beautiful with a sand tint.

When wallpaper with a pattern and plain colors are combined, this is a balancing technique.

The main condition for combining patterns is that they should not drown out each other.

In youth rooms, variants of two colors are often used, even with their contrast. But some wallpapers are of a passive shade, while others are of an active bright shade, so as not to overload the teenager’s psyche.

Solution 2. Combination of textures

The combination of wallpaper in a room of the same color with different textures will create a unique imitation of architectural changes:

niches, columns;
ceiling frame - cornice;
window and door arches;
effectively indicate angles.

It is important to consider the features of the room:

It is reasonable to combine tiles in the kitchen with linens that have fire-resistant properties;
in the bathroom I would glue moisture-resistant non-woven fabrics.
For children's rooms, only non-toxic wallpaper paint and eco-friendly paper are suitable;

textile ones, like paper ones, tear and burn, but are warm and cozy in the bedroom, and in the living room they are successful in the form of unique decorative inserts;
vinyl - will protect you from stains and tears, so they will even improve the kitchen, hallway and, of course, the living room;
fiberglass wear-resistant texture wallpaper used in the living room, corridor;
liquid wallpaper is environmentally friendly, convenient: suitable for the living room, kitchen, and ideal for combined organic finishing of liquid wallpaper with regular wallpaper;
photo wallpaper – interesting option for any room.

Combining these types has several nuances:

combination textile wallpaper with liquid it is contradictory due to opposite textures;
non-woven fabrics and paper ones will create a cozy design;
embossed vinyl materials are much more noticeable than others;
A glossy texture is justified on only one wall, if the other 3 are matte.

If you have decided on the choice of material, it’s time to get acquainted with the spectacular options for combining them.

Solution 3. Effects of gluing different wallpapers

Let's hide the flaws. Bright wallpaper on the flat side opposite the imperfect, but pastel colors, will distract attention from defects. So I “hid” communications in the kitchen - it helped out Brick wall from wallpaper.
We zone the room. In a large living room or studio, combining wallpaper will comfortably divide the space without curtains or. In the spacious kitchen fashionable canvases under brick with other wallpaper they will divide it into a working part and a dining area.

Adjusting the scale. Visually, only with color (or maybe a pattern) can you expand an oblong room. So in the bedroom I would pastel the side walls with pastel canvases, and the end walls with dark ones.

We decorate with wallpaper. The designers' secret: a bright pattern on one wall is the highlight and center of the room's interior. I would also bring stylish items here.

And that's not all the possibilities unique finish walls with a combination of wallpaper. Go ahead!

Popular methods

The following techniques will simplify the selection of a visual union:

the stone is harmonious with textured vinyl samples;
let the thickness of the wallpaper be the same so that the joints are invisible;
different widths of wallpaper are less important if the joints are invisible;
the correct combination of wallpaper in the interior allows for 2 types of patterns or 3 colors of a single spectrum, and 4-5 for monochrome walls;

Classic style: from white to gray and black.

It is better to combine bright colors with pastel ones - then different wallpapers in one room look harmonious.

Solution 4. Patchwork technique

When combining patchwork (patchwork), pieces of wallpaper of any configuration are used to create panels in the nursery and near home theater. They are framed with decorative tape or wooden (or possibly polyurethane foam) moldings.

Solution 5: Combining stripes

Let's look at how to combine stripes correctly:

For low ceilings, we stick vertical stripes: they will elevate the space, adding a little formality to the interior.

For the top, anyone chooses a larger and lighter ornament to “raise” the ceiling.

We can decorate the border between the bottom and the top with a border, which is always below the middle of the wall (up to 1 m).

Design innovation is when a wide vertical stripe extends to the ceiling.

Solution 6. Bright accent

Textured or bright inserts attract attention if the entire wall is lighter and monochromatic. And the framing decorative moldings will enhance the effect.

More practical horizontal combination wallpaper with photo wallpaper, which will ensure the durability of the decoration and the ability to replace dilapidated places.

Today the priority is to emphasize 1 wall bright colors, and 3 is neutral. It is justified to highlight the color of the wall opposite the door, which is so noticeable to those entering.

Solution 7. Introduction of ornaments

The manufacturer's catalogs contain samples with a single color palette, but with various geometric or floral patterns. Although the combination of plant patterns with geometry advantageously balances the interior.

I think it would be advisable to summarize the rules listed here when combining wallpaper. Then the pasting will be successful, economical and fast:

It is rational to use exactly the same type of canvas, but different in design or color.
Wallpaper of different textures should be the same color to make it noticeable. This will enrich the architecture of the rooms, their style and functionality.

Conclusion

From the article you understood that there are many combinations of color, ornament or texture, and their possibilities are endless. You can visually change the architecture and size of the room, its lighting, mask defects and communications using the techniques described above.

If you want to express gratitude, add a clarification or objection, or ask the author something - add a comment or say thank you!

Hello! I continue the series of articles that were inspired by watching advertisements for the sale of real estate on Avito when I was choosing us new apartment. I understand them typical mistakes in decoration, which I encountered in literally every second apartment. I already wrote about, now it’s time for wallpaper, namely about combining different wallpapers in one room. And it looks like today there will be a mega post, because there is not just a lot of information, but a lot.

Lyrical introduction or where the legs of a problem grow

First of all, I want to note that, judging by what I saw, combining wallpaper is actually a very popular technique in Izhevsk. And I think throughout the post-Soviet space things are exactly the same. I saved literally 80% of these photos because that's how many people use this method incorrectly. Something from the series: I saw this in “ Housing issue" Then I looked at pictures on the Internet and did everything exactly the same. In fact, it’s far from exactly the same, and more often than not, quite the opposite.

I tried to figure out where the legs grow from. As usual, I googled the query “how to properly combine wallpaper with each other in one room” (judging by statistics, similar queries in different options they recruit more than 10 thousand people monthly (!!!) and looked at the top five sites in the search results. It’s just that usually no one looks further :) And then a lot fell into place for me.

All articles were written by copywriters who are not at all interested in modern design and decoration, some websites of construction offices, repair companies. All the information is rotten and of little use, and at times downright harmful.

Who are these designers? Where do they advise this? In fact, modern decoration allows for both. But in terms of the number of interiors, painted plain walls or plain wallpaper, rather than combinations, still lead by a large margin.

The biggest difficulty is to understand that the combination must pursue some goal, practically program a person, force him to look at the point you need, and not just so as not to be bored. This is not enough. If this is the goal, then it is almost guaranteed that it will turn out to be nonsense.

And now enough of the lyrics, it’s time to sort through the archive of photographs that I saved and show them as an example typical species wallpaper mix and the most common mistakes. Sit back, read, watch carefully and learn from the mistakes of others.

Vertical arrangement of different wallpapers

This is the most common way to given time. To greatly generalize, you can combine:

with a pattern and plain,
two types with different patterns

The first method is the most common. Programs about renovation and design have firmly instilled the concept of accent wall and zoning into the everyday life of our citizens. But they never explained which wall to choose as an accent wall and on what grounds, by what criteria. It is on this wall that wallpaper with a pattern is glued, and on the rest - plain wallpaper.

The main criterion by which you can determine whether it is worth focusing on it is its location. There must be a sufficient distance that ensures good review. For example, in Khrushchev's kitchen basically there is no place for this.

Usually they accentuate the wall against which the eye rests when entering the room. Or it can be located behind some functional area, group of furniture, for example dining table, a sofa with an armchair, a workplace that will stand out even more against the backdrop of suitable wallpaper.

Our parents determined it almost unmistakably when hanging the carpet. Just imagine, instead of a roll of wallpaper, you have a chic antique Uzbek kilim. What wall would you hang it on? Will it be clearly visible from different points review, will there be something competing with him for attention?

Example No. 1

In this accent living room (with flowers) it was worth making one wall per upholstered furniture, and the rest of the walls are plain (and better in the background color of the flowers). As a result, it is not clear what was singled out: either the wall behind the TV, or the end of the room with a window... What was the idea? There is no idea, everything looks as if they took a couple of rolls left over from the last renovation, since the main ones were not enough.

Badly

Example No. 2

Then the same error, what's the idea? "Carpet" in in this case should hang above the sofa. It seems that the accent wall was chosen by tossing a coin, just out of curiosity. It is unclear why the person sitting on this sofa is asked to look at the left wall. And the colors themselves are well chosen.

Badly

Example No. 3

In the following example, I like the color choice for the main wallpaper and the choice of the accent wall. Enough viewing distance to appreciate the view as a whole. But it is completely unclear why the active wallpaper went further and was located above doorway. Because of this, the whole point of the accent wall was lost. If zoning was meant (corridor and living room), then why were they combined at all? Same mistake - no idea. Now it just seems that there is a ball in the corridor and room different finishes, the partition was demolished and everything was left as it was.

Badly

This leads to another mandatory condition.

It is necessary to correctly determine the boundaries of the accent wall. This is the entire wall, from corner to corner, and not some separate piece behind it and not several walls at the same time.

Example No. 4

The joints of combined wallpaper should be in the corners and not in the middle of the wall. Firstly, such a joint almost always looks unaesthetic or it seems that there is simply not enough wallpaper.

No idea, sloppy joint.

Badly

Example No. 5

Why bother and glue it to the wall or is it really not enough?

Badly

Example No. 6

On next photo Without a doubt, the wallpaper was deliberately hung only in the center. This typical example senseless zoning when renovations are made without understanding the future of the interior as a whole. I am 99% sure that there will be a sofa or TV along this wall.

This arrangement is a claim to symmetry, which strictly limits the arrangement of furniture. Having placed the sofa in the center of this composition, you will no longer be able to move it a little to the left or right without re-sticking the wallpaper. Well, that is. You can move it, but you are guaranteed nonsense. Examples of the consequences of such pasting will be below.

Badly

Example No. 7

Corridor in the same apartment. Claims for symmetry, but without the slightest understanding of how terrible this is in combination with asymmetrical switches. What prevented you from choosing other wallpapers, where they would not be so noticeable, and covering this entire wall with them? After all, the wall itself is simply ideal for an accent. Unsuccessful wallpaper, pasting with stubs.

Badly

Example No. 8

Another arrangement of wallpaper with a stub above the sofa, which visually separates the sofa and the chair from each other. What's the idea? Focus on the entire wall, not just a piece of it, except if there are any structural protrusions there.

Badly

Example No. 9

The natural result of the bits on the wall. The sofa was moved, but the wallpaper remained.

Badly

Example No. 10

Something went wrong... Due to the addition to the family, a rearrangement had to be made. It is now impossible to grasp the initial idea.

Badly

Example No. 11

It is impossible to predict in advance exactly down to the centimeter how you will arrange your furniture if the interior is formed spontaneously. At a minimum, a strip of wallpaper is also needed, but it would be better to continue to the end of the wall so that the chairs and table look like a single group.

By the way, it’s cool, I’ve never seen a table like this on one leg for sale.

Badly

The patchwork technique itself is not so bad, but not in this form, of course.

Badly

Example No. 13

The idea “so as not to be boring” has ruined more than one interior. In the nursery in the next photo, the parents bought the entire set of wallpaper collection at once: with a pattern, green and orange. And they used everything in one room at once. The wall for accent wallpaper with a pattern, in my opinion, was chosen well. But! What are the opposite stripes for? Why bright orange behind the curtains, because the window itself is a self-sufficient architectural accent.

As a result, the gaze does not focus on one thing, it wanders chaotically, because everything is competing with each other for attention. Too many areas of active colors, the accent wall got lost. Not complied with. It would be much better to combine, instead of orange and green “companions,” take a neutral beige, which serves as the background for the picture.

Badly

Example No. 14

In general, companion wallpapers are evil. This is such an invisible trap, it seems that if some designers at the factory made them compatible, then there can be no mistake. In fact, as it may, almost all examples of using these pairs are extremely unsuccessful.

For example, let's look at the combination of wallpaper in the next room. It is absolutely certain that these are companions. I have no questions about the compatibility of colors and patterns, everything is really good. But! Both types of wallpaper have a very active pattern, i.e. It is completely unclear which of them is the main one and which is the additional one.

What would be good when combining patterns? sofa cushions Doesn't work with wallpaper at all. Looking at this interior, the idea again is completely unclear, which wall is the accent wall? Left, right, end? What are the different wallpapers used for? Why do different wallpapers have equal surface areas?

As usual, the result of a senseless, thoughtless combination is a complete mess.

The situation is aggravated by the incorrect scale of the floral pattern; the already low ceilings seem lower than they actually are. An extremely bad choice. If you missed the article on how to choose, be sure to read it.

Everything is bad

Example No. 15

In the bedroom, the ideal place for an accent is on the wall behind the head of the bed. Remember the carpet? That's where it should have been hung. Rarely are any other options possible: the walls are of some irregular geometry, have protrusions, the bed is in a niche, etc.

In this bedroom, the owners again fell into the trap of companions, bought a pair with patterns of the same activity and it was unclear what they wanted to highlight. The wall behind the bed? Then why did they seize the window? A wall with a TV? This wall is not suitable for an accent wall.

And again the terrible scale of the colors, hiding the height of the ceilings. The link to the article about this error was just above.

Badly

Example No. 16

In order to clearly determine accent wall and zoning with wallpaper made sense; the designs should be different in activity (in attracting attention)

Badly

Example No. 17

You should not use three types of wallpaper, as in the children's room in example No. 13, there is too much of everything. Zones, zones, zones, fragmentation as it is small space into pieces... It was worth making only one wall as an accent wall (either behind the bed or opposite the entrance at the table). Three types are too much. And if there were 4 types of companions in the collection, would you buy them all according to the number of walls?

Badly

Horizontal arrangement of different wallpapers

Example No. 18

Today, this method is simply morally outdated - this is hello from the first European-quality renovations of the nineties. Then the first companions and paper borders appeared on sale. The squeak of fashion. But for today good modern examples Such a combination of wallpaper simply does not exist. I named it so that the list is complete, for information. You'll just know it's there, but keep in mind that it's best not to use it for the next 50 years.

The horizontal line cuts the wall into two parts and hides the height of the ceiling.

Badly

Combining photo wallpaper with wallpaper

The combination of wallpaper with photo wallpaper deserves special attention. I noticed that, at first glance, things are a little better with them, at least the choice of wall is almost always successful. But there are still some nuances.

Example No. 19

I love the choice for the accent wall: correct location at the end of the room, near the bed, there is enough distance in the room to appreciate the entire image, and not look at it point-blank. I like the large size, wall to wall, joints in the corners. It's all wonderful and well done. But the very combination of photo wallpaper and pattern on the remaining walls looks bad. It would be much better if the second wallpaper was paintable or smooth, plain white or sand color.

Badly

Example No. 20

Exactly the same story. The right accent wall right size, but absolutely incompatible with the main wallpaper. Moreover, the main ones are also quite interesting and not bad in themselves. They just shouldn't be together. Here we need plain ones.

Badly

Example No. 21

Should I comment anything on this photo? It seems to me that you can see everything yourself: the collision of photo wallpaper on the adjacent wall (what prevented you from trimming???), the combination with striped ones (you need plain ones), and a closet that “allows you to enjoy” the views of the city at night.

Everything is very bad

By and large, to summarize, we can distinguish 3 main mistakes:

lack of idea and meaning in combining wallpaper, acting like a fool;
wrong choice of accent wall;
the use of wallpaper does not cover the entire area of the wall, the joints are not in the corners.

From here follow 5 simple rules, and if you take them into account, then I think that you can easily combine beautiful wallpaper in your room. Learn from other people's mistakes, not your own!

Accent wallpaper is placed on the view wall; there should be good viewing points for it, minimum distance from the vantage point - 3-4 meters, or better yet more.
Never use any ready-made companions if they both have an active pattern.
The best combination for photo wallpapers and others with an active dynamic pattern is plain wallpaper.
Glue accent wallpaper on the entire wall, from corner to corner or other architectural elements (edges of a niche, ledge, etc.), then you don’t have to think about how to design the joint.
Think about why you want to draw the attention of those present to this wall, think over the idea.

Examples of the ideal use of combining wallpaper in room decoration

The vast majority of examples are a combination of an active pattern with plain walls (plain wallpaper, paintable wallpaper or simply painted walls). If you are not mentally prepared for most of plain walls in the room, then it’s better to think 10 more times about whether you need an accent wall in the interior at all.

If you don't know how to combine several types of wallpaper to achieve the right decorative effect. How to hide imperfections in the layout of a particular room using wallpaper. Are you interested in options for wallpapering in the living room, bedroom or kitchen? This article is for you!

There are many options as per the room. You can combine several shades or focus on differences in texture, choose an interesting combination of ornaments, or even opt for patterns from liquid wallpaper.

Don't forget about tile combinations, artificial stone, wood and wallpaper materials. Let's look at all these examples.

How to combine wallpaper

Combining wallpaper is the most popular design technique. Think about what you would like your room to look like after renovation; don’t be afraid to experiment with textures or coating colors. Evaluate the functions and characteristics of the room.

What options for wallpapering can be used in your case, taking into account the height of the walls, the width of the room, and planning elements?

The options proposed below are suitable for almost any standard interior; with problem rooms you will need to experiment, combining several types of alternations at once.

Vertical

So, the “vertical stripes” option. The use of two types of stripes of different colors and textures in the interior is quite original way creating an atmosphere and adding dynamics to the room.

You can combine either shades of the same color or use contrasting combinations. A monochrome combination will create the effect of a play of shadows, and contrasts will emphasize the uniqueness and character of the interior.

Horizontal

Dividing into horizons is a fairly common finishing method. It will fit perfectly into any designer style, allowing you to alternate absolutely any canvas with different shades and surface relief.

What to alternate – contrasting or monochrome stripes, depends only on you. The main thing is to choose the correct width.

For example, in rooms with high ceilings experts recommend combining stripes in a ratio of 2:1.

A combination of non-woven and textile wallpaper will look very impressive; rough relief is smoothed out soft color and drawing.

Interesting options for wallpapering walls can be obtained through the use of additional decorative elements.

The joint location must be determined before gluing the strips and marked with a line that should be parallel to the floor, this will allow the divider to coincide with the level of the furniture.

Horizontal is done from top to bottom, and an overlap is left at the joints, which is cut off only after the canvases have dried and “pulled together.”

Note! The junction can be hidden with a curb or special tape, this will hide possible imperfections and gaps formed during gluing.

Very often the canvases have different widths. Use of polyurethane moldings or wooden slats(depending on the design) will easily solve this problem and diversify the interior with an additional decorative element.

Methods of pasting rooms

Don't know how to cover the walls in your bedroom? We offer you an original method - wallpaper inserts. Decor general interior inserts must be carried out on prepared walls.

To begin with, monotonous background canvases are glued light shade. Then - pieces of thick massive, for example, non-woven sheets. These inserts can vary in size and shape. The classic style allows the use of rectangular structures, but you can also experiment by covering the wall with geometric shapes.

But in the nursery, vinyl stickers depicting your favorite cartoon characters can be used as inserts.

Also enough original decoration The interior will have liquid wallpaper imitating a fabric covering. They are safe, made from natural materials, which allows their use in a children's room.

Combination in the living room will help to divide the room into functional zones, visually separate them from each other, and give meaning to each individual part of the territory.

In the hall you can use a method called “accent wall”. Thus, the wall behind the TV stands out with a bright shade that sharply contrasts with the background of the room. To enhance the effect above this area, you can make a transition from the wall to the ceiling.

Original design methods

If you need creative wallpapering, use a patchwork combination. This is a derivative of the design with wallpaper inserts, only now the surfaces of the room are covered with solid inserts, without the use of a background.
It's reminiscent of an old patchwork quilt or a bird's eye view of fields - either way, the design looks great.
The main secret of this method is the harmony of materials. You can glue chaotic multi-colored blocks or ordered combinations, express your own fantasies, but the main thing is that all these inserts have something in common - a pattern, ornament or shade.

If your house has a lot of niches, arches and protrusions, whether they were created according to the builder's idea or are inconveniences in the planning of the apartment, all this should be used to create an original interior.

Often, owners simply try to hide such places from prying eyes, but designers recommend highlighting them in every possible way.

In niches and ledges it is usually done with contrasting colors or bright relief fabrics. You light wallpaper? Make a dark niche! Small pattern on the walls - decorate the ledge with wallpaper with a large pattern!

Finally, a few tips:

Buy wallpaper in one place so that it matches in shades and textures.
Use canvases of the same width.
Use combination not only to create visual effects, correct planning deficiencies.

Summing up

We hope our article was useful to you. In order to more accurately understand the technological and practical issue, our website provides detailed photo and video instructions in which you will find useful information on this issue.

Photo gallery

A fairly popular option for decorating the surface of walls in a room is to combine two types of wallpaper. This design allows you to correct existing surface imperfections or highlight the main areas. This modern way make any room stylish and modern. The article will discuss options for gluing two types of wallpaper and give recommendations on how to carry out this work yourself.

Since combining wallpaper implies a combination of not only the color of the canvas, but also textures, this process has its own rules that must be followed when working.

Ceiling height

This indicator greatly helps you decide on wallpaper. If the ceilings are no higher than 2.5 meters, then light-colored canvases with small patterns and a slight texture are suitable for such a room. If the ceilings are too low in height, then decorating them with light wallpaper with a dim pattern or vertical stripes can help to visually raise them. You can also alternately place canvases of different colors close to each other on the walls.

Rooms with a height of more than 3 meters require wall decoration according to a different principle. In this case, a contrasting large pattern located in the horizontal plane is needed. Also in this case, dividing the walls in a horizontal plane with wallpaper with different designs pattern or texture. But to make it look modern, you will have to try very hard with the choice, since this interior is classic.

Room area

In addition to the height of the ceilings, it is necessary to take into account the dimensions of the room when choosing wallpaper for it. If the room is spacious, then you can use deep dark shades in design to visually make the interior more comfortable. If plain wallpaper does not suit the owner’s mood, then you can choose similar ones, but with a pattern. As a rule, dark canvases with light abstract, geometric or floral patterns are most often used.

For small rooms this rule does not apply. Here, on the contrary, you need light wallpaper with a small pattern that is not very pronounced.

It is very important to look at the geometry of the room. In case of narrow room, which is long, it is worth pasting with dark and light wallpaper. So, light-colored canvases are laid on short walls so that part of them extends onto the long wall. This way you can get visual alignment of the geometry.

If the entrance to the room is located on a long wall, then the surface parallel to it is covered with wallpaper of a contrasting color with the condition that the edges of this wall will be decorated with the same canvases as the rest of the room. This way the room will not seem too long.

Texture and color of wallpaper

If you decide to wallpaper a room with two types of wallpaper, then you should be very careful when choosing the texture and thickness of the wallpaper. When combined, panels that are similar to each other will look best so that transitions are not noticeable. If joining is planned only in the corners, then it is not necessary to pay attention to the texture.

In the case of gluing wallpaper of different types, the appropriate glue is selected for each type. If you don’t want to purchase several formulations, then you can buy one universal one.

In the case of a room that is located on the south side and is constantly flooded with sunlight, there is no need to make it completely dark. You can use deep shades of wallpaper on the wall that is parallel to the window, and cover the rest with light shades. This way the room will not be too monotonous, and the dark color will not put pressure on the psyche of the person inside.

This technique can also be applied in a room on the north side. Here it is worth covering the wall opposite the window with light wallpaper. In this case, the room will look brighter.

Wallpaper layout options

Designers offer a huge number of layout options for two types of wallpaper, and several techniques can be used in one room at once. In order to harmoniously emphasize the advantages of the room and hide the shortcomings, you need to clearly understand what needs to be achieved in the end.

Vertical combination

Everyone has long known that vertical stripes visually increase the height of the ceiling. Moreover, it is not necessary to use only striped wallpaper. So one wall or part of it can be made in a striped design, and the remaining areas are covered with canvases without or with a dim pattern.

The stripes can be completely different. This includes differences in color or pattern.

Important! The texture of the wallpaper with such a combination must be identical.

Since manufacturers now offer collections of wallpaper companions, it is not at all difficult to choose canvases of the same texture. They will be combined with each other as correctly as possible, harmonizing in color or design.

There is a technique in vertical combination that allows you to visually increase the height of the ceiling using two types of wallpaper. To perform this option, you need to continue gluing the canvas pasted on the wall to the ceiling. In this case, the border will be erased, and the room will become visually higher.

For a better understanding of how to perform vertical combinations, special schemes have been created that will work flawlessly with any shade of canvas. Many designers work using these examples, and every time they succeed excellent result.

Horizontal combination

As previously mentioned, horizontal combining refers to classic options decoration of premises. This technique has been used for a long time, but with the modern range of colors and textures, it has acquired a new meaning. Most often, a horizontal combination of wallpaper is used in small rooms with high ceilings.

If there is no need to glue several canvases at once on top and bottom, then you can zone the surface of the walls with a horizontal strip, which is usually done at the level of the window sill, but can be located lower or higher.

To decorate a corridor or hallway, the strip can be placed directly at eye level, which also looks very good.

The division is also made from above. Usually the upper section is decorated in a light color, and the lower section in a dark color, but it is quite possible to break this rule.

Traditional ways of creating horizontal divisions include the following:

1/3 of the lower part of the wall is covered with striped wallpaper, and the rest of the surface on top is covered with plain canvases harmonizing in shade.
1/3 of the bottom is covered with wallpaper in a small pattern, and the rest of the wall with canvases with a large image.
2/3 of the bottom of the wall is in a large pattern, and the rest is plain.

Creating room zoning

Several colors of wallpaper in one room are often used to decorate functional areas. This can often be found in studio apartments. The same design is also used for children's rooms, when it is necessary to separate the recreation area from the work area or several children of different sexes are accommodated in the room.

Typically, this design involves joining only in the corners, so that the joints are invisible and there is no need to decorate them with moldings.

Making decorative inserts

In those days when wallpaper was made only from fabric and was expensive, people who did not have enough money for it took pieces and framed them on the wall. Since then, the design of wallpaper in the form of panels began.

Today this design is typical classic interiors, where on the walls in frames you can see embossed wallpaper or those canvases made using the silk-screen printing technique.

If possible, the wallpaper elements are decorated with a frame made of molding. This design will look beautiful in classic style, as well as country and Provence interiors. This panel can decorate a living room or bedroom in the Art Nouveau style. But in this case, the frame is made of the same wallpaper as the main part.

Advice! If there is a niche in the room, then you can paste another version of wallpaper inside it, which will be in harmony with the main background. The result will be a kind of panel.

Accenting

At the moment, there are several principles for using this technique. The first involves distraction from some detail that does not look good in the room. This, for example, could be uneven walls. To prevent your gaze from falling on this disadvantage upon entering the room, the opposite wall is highlighted with wallpaper of a different color, with or without a pattern. It is very important that the pasted surface attracts attention.

The second option is to highlight an important place in the room. In the bedroom there is a bed, in the kitchen there is a working or dining area. Each room may have its own item that needs to be emphasized. Partially, this design is also considered zoning.

Typically, accents are created by vertically positioned canvases, but in rooms with high ceilings, you can use a horizontal accent option. Often there are protrusions in the premises, which they mainly try to disguise.

Combination rules: how to hang two types of wallpaper

Knowing the theory in this matter will not be superfluous. For example, there are points from which you need to build. One of them is the ceiling height. Based on this characteristic, you should choose a pattern, determine the color of the wallpaper and its texture. If the ceiling is low, no higher than 2.5 m, then wallpaper is needed light colors, with a small pattern, without a rough texture. And if the ceilings are even lower, then the main background of the wallpaper should be light with a faint pattern, and vertical stripes may be located on one of the walls.

The wallpaper in the room should be harmoniously combined in texture and shade

High ceilings are a reason to glue completely different wallpaper. Here you already need a large drawing that is stretched in width. You can also divide the walls horizontally, using in the upper and lower half different colors. Horizontal stripes will visually expand the room.

The next point is the dimensions of the room:

In small rooms it is correct to use only bright hues, if the wallpaper has a texture, it is weakly expressed, if there is a pattern, then it is medium-sized;
The second point is the geometry of the room, if the room is narrow and long, you need just a combined gluing; light wallpaper is glued to short walls, some of which seem to go around the corner;
If the entrance to the room is on one of the narrow long sides, then the middle of the opposite wall is highlighted in a different color, and the corners are covered with wallpaper for short walls.

There are many visual techniques, which are interesting to do and see how the geometry of the room changes. Look at the example photos - a lot depends on what kind of accent wall you decide to make. By the way, don’t forget about vinyl stickers, which can add their own touch to the image of the room.

Vertical combination: options for wallpapering two types

Vertical stripes are known to visually increase the height of the ceiling. It doesn't matter whether the stripes are regular or not. The current design interpretation of such a “striped” solution suggests that one wall can have striped wallpaper, while the rest can be plain-colored or wallpaper with a nondescript pattern.

An excellent solution when decorating a room is to use blue and white wallpaper.

But vertical stripes can also be distributed across different walls, in this case, the repetition interval may be equal. The color and pattern of the stripes may be different, but then the texture should be the same. Usually, in this case, you have to cover the room with wallpaper from the same collection to ensure a harmonious combination.

And this option is considered a classic example of combination. It has been used for a long time, and today’s wide selection of wallpaper will allow you to bring to life, probably, the most interesting ideas. This technique is usually used in small rooms, but the ceilings must be high. And to remove this well effect, horizontal division is carried out.

This can be an ordinary horizontal strip, as if encircling the room. Very often it is tied to the height of the window sill. Or the plane is divided into three parts, and the strip can be located either in the upper or lower part.

Sometimes the stripe is made at eye level. At the same level they usually hang some significant decorative elements. This technique is usually used in the design of hallways, long corridors. The division zone passing from above means a light top and a darker bottom.

Zoning: design of covering walls with different wallpapers, photo

If you need to somehow emphasize zoning, then use different kinds combining wallpaper. If you, for example, have a studio apartment, then such a technique with an accent pattern or pattern is sometimes simply necessary. And sometimes these are fundamentally different wallpapers.

Thanks to different wallpapers, you can easily zone any room

In this case, zoning could be like this:

One or two adjacent walls pasted with wallpaper with a horizontal stripe, which makes it possible to visually lower the ceiling and make the space wider;
Coating with vertical stripe on one wall or two adjacent ones will also be relevant in rooms with low ceiling, but with a large area;
A floral print in the seating area is also a common technique, very clear and streamlining the space.

If, for example, you use a light floral print with a too small pattern, then the decorated part of the room will be light, airy, and seemingly weightless. But a dark floral pattern and large flowers, on the contrary, make the wall heavier. But at the same time, the wall is more noticeable, and accordingly, it looks more significant.

When choosing wallpaper, it is important not to allow it to be installed externally in any way. Before pasting, you try it on, make a kind of estimate to see if the wallpaper will “make friends.” It’s easier, of course, to choose wallpaper companions, but this is not always possible.

Consider the following points:

You can put up wallpaper different sizes and design, and molding is glued to the joints between these wallpapers, thereby creating a panel effect - the room becomes more elegant;
In the living room, you can focus on the area where the fireplace or TV is located;
You can put accent wallpaper that imitates panels on the central wall;
Patchwork wallpaper is incredibly popular, but quite troublesome, but the effect of a patchwork wall is aesthetically very successful.

Often 3 walls are covered with one type of wallpaper, and the 4th wall with another.

For vertical pasting, it is recommended to use the same type of wallpaper of approximately the same thickness so that the joints are not so obvious. To hang wallpaper with a large pattern, you need to at least “try it on in your head”; it’s better to somehow assess in advance how the wallpaper samples will look in a particular room. Large drawing always corrects the perception of the room.

If the space of the room allows, then you can create a symmetrical pattern, which will highlight and sleeping places And specific zone, for example, the area near the mirror. In the bedroom, combining is almost always advantageous; the size of the room is not so important. Look at the examples of combinations - all options are successful, the room looks organized and cozy.
